Under the income tax, as operated by tho
Deputy Assessor, there are those in Ashland
who are in receipt of the Heaviest incomes
who are entirely exempt. They are of the
persuasion of tar-eateys-mcn of the Shylock
order, who live by close shaving, and fare
s5mptuously every day. On the other hand,
there arc those BOT engaged in any active bu-
~siness, but who, by lives of industry and fair
dealing, have accumulated sufficient to support
their families 10 very moderate style, who are
taxed outrageously. Three of the latter class
are black mailed to the aggregate amount of
about one h6hdred and fifty dollars. Have
the federal tax grinders Instructions to dis
etimiuate in favor of Abolitionists?
