Tax on Newspapers--The Effect in
England.

In view of the fact that one or two New
York journals have sugges' ed a tax on
newspapers. the Philadelphia Press thus
points out the effect it had in England,
and the result of its repeal:
'In the year I7l2. a stamp-tax was first
levied upon newspapers and a duty upon
advertisements in England. 1t was the
time of high political excl ement in the
reign of Queen Anne, and her Ministry
taxed newspapers. even then beginning to
be felt as power. in the land, in order 10
crush them. The first duty was a cent up
on every sheet, but it was gradually raised
to eight Gems upon every newspaper sheet,
large or small. The design was to gag the
press, and though this was not effected, it
limited the number of newspapers, by rem
dering it impossible for any one but a CAPT
talist t, establish a journal. In 1886. aft
er q tremendous struggle. the newspaper
tax was reduced from fourteen to two cents,
and in 1856 it was wholly abolished.
'.Coincident with the establishment of a
tax on newspapers was a duty on advertis-
ments. 1t commenced, like the other, at
a small rate, but gradually advanced. In
1886, and for many years before each ad-
vertisement in a British newspaper, with
out, referance to its being long or short,
paid a duty to the government of eighty
four cents. One may imagine the ex-
pensc of advertising in England at that
time. When the newspaper S amp was
cut down from IA to = cents on each paper,
The advertisement duty was reduced from
81 Sc cents, and was finally abolished in
1853.
another effect was made by those who
wished to strike off the letters of the press,
and in 1856 the two cent stamp on news
papers was abolished. Still there remain
ed one fetter more tax of three cents
per pound on paper. That was removed
last year, and, for the first time during one
hundred and fifty years, the English people
had a free press. The result, at once was
the establishment of newspapers all over
the United kingdom-of newspapers al
once cheap and good. twenty-five years
ago every London paper cost fourteen cents
at least STAMP duty included,) and some
sold at more. but now there are numerous
good journals in London and other places al
two Gems.
Are we to begin where the English
have left off? Are we to adopt what their
bitter experience felt and abolished as a
nuisance? Are We to fetter journalism by
taxation? What would be the inevitable
consequeuce?-a advance all Over the
country in the cost of newspapers 20 the
public, and a consequent decline in their
sale. Taxes upon newspapers and upon
paper are the very taxes upon knowledge
which England has at last shaken off. for
ever. Yet what England repudiates, after
long trial, as unjust and oppressive, the
United States are recommended to adopt
and hug to their bosom"

PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.

I capt stewart said he would pillow tWen-
ty-six inches deep, but twenty inches would
answer. Would not care to break sandy
soil as deep as clay, but thinks the roots
should be deep.
Mr.. SaxtOn said that in digging up some
Clinton grapes, be found a majority of the
RIOTS we're not over one foot deep.
Mr.. Elliott did not think the grape, as a
general thing, fed from its lower roots
Most of the roots were near the surface,
where they were readily acted upon by the
light and air. The advantage of ~dcep-work-
ing the land, he thought, was to assist
drainage, and at certain times, in seasons
of great drouth, add moisture and some
food.
Capt. Stewart thinks ~barn-yard manure
leads to mildew thinks it stimulates, and
renders the vine more sensitive to this dis
ease; would prefer old rags, bones, leath-
er scraps, &c. ; would plow all manures in
as deep as possible and manure broadcast.
Mr.. Saxton manures freely in the spring,
every year, with barn-yard manure has
great growth, but no mildew.
Capt. Stewart, when he used barn yard
manure. alwaysh had mildew; now he uses
rags. etc, and has no mildew.
Mr.. Porter would not use manure the
first year. ANY good corn soil is good
enough for the vine, until it comes into
bearing.
Mr. Saxton knew Of an acre of vine
yard, on sandy soil, that was manurcd
with slaugheer-house manure, and produc-
ed the best crop he ever saw.
Mr.. Elliott said he would ask some ques-
tons, for they were daily asked him, and
while he had his views, he would like to
get those of this meeting. LIST Which is
to be preferred, barn-yard manure or ground
bones? The answer was ground bones
I'd. Which was best, bones or guano and
plaster, and the proportions. The answer
was that two hundred pounds of guano and
plaster, arc equal to three hundred pounds
of bones.
Mr.. Elliott would use bones and plaster
n sandy soil. and all three, bones plaster
and guano on clay; would never use barn.
1"iu iu"AuAS at CfCu OuC-udll the COST
Capt. Stewart thinks all manure should
be TAINTED deer, SOFAS to start the foot roots;
il, in using manure. bones preferred,) on
ly a small quantity was had, would use it
near the plants but if in quantity, then
broadcast.
Mr.. Saxton would not manure good corn
or potato soil, Until the vines were in bear
Jag; thinks growing grapes for wine max
ing aud for tn: use of the table, require
two different methods to be pursued.
DISTANCE APART
Capt Stewart said, in speaking of the
Catawba, isabella, orthe like strong-grow-
ing sorts. he would plant six by six feet.
MIR. Schneider would, and was now liant
ing five by five.
DR. Mathiyet thought five BY five too
near; as the grapes get age they reouire
more room; he is Doh planting eight by
eight.
Mr.. Elliott said observation had salts
fed him that six by six was about the right
distance, on light soil while on very strong.
