The Income Tax Payers.

10 the Editor Qr tie Press; ~
Hanylthanks for the list Of income tax-psy-
ers, In your paper Of Thursday. You have
no Idea how happy you have made me; for
before that publication was made was poor;
to-day count myself among the rich men Of
Portland. Ny income the last year was not
far from 50 500, after deducting the 5000 and
other items allowed by the law. / paid a tax
on about $4,000. / have a capital OF $4,000,
or $4,000; hire a small rent OF man who
obtains from the the property OF which my
counting. room Is part, an income Of about
$1,000. Now this $1,000 Is very small frae-
ton Of what this man receives from his other
property. pay tax on $4,000 and he pays
for little more than twice that sum. he Is
an honorable man, and OF course pays just
what Is right; therefore I say am q happy
man TO and my income is about half as much
as that Of one of the richest men In Portland,
and several hundreds of dollars more than
some others whom have been taught to look
up to as among the richest and Oldest families
in the place.
But, Mr.. Editor, they say there is never a
rose without thorn, and my happiness is
somewhat clouded In looking over the list, to
find SO many of our business men and others,
all honorable. of course, ,0ho are liUing so
much above their incomesl Why, Sir, some of
my neighbors live at the rate of from 5000
to 5000 per year, whose income is put down
at from 81 600 to $500. Whopays the differ
ence? say to myself 1t must be all right.
for they are honorable men; they would not
keep horse and carriage, aye, span Of
horses, with coach, chaise, sleighs, &C., If
their income did not allow of it. And this
income is sworn to--how do you get over
that? Now this is what bothers me.
Then again the leading merchants, mechan-
les and others, many of them, I am told, are
keeping stocks of goods ranging from $4,000
to 100000 whose sales amount yearly to from
100000 to 100000, dividing the income
among two or three partners at from 81, 100
! to 81, 800 each. Poor fellows What an enor-
nous amount of labor for SO little profit! Do
| our bank directors, Mr.. Editor, take the notes
of these men? hope not, for own three
shares in one of our banks. 3Afs aa
| Can you suggest some plan to ameliorate
the condition of our people? If they go on
spending at the rate they now Go, with such
small incomes, their end will be disastrous
and that quickly
| Now, dear Mr.. Editor, you have done US
one great favor by showing us what small in
comes we have. Do us another by proposing
some plan whereby man can spend $1,000 OF
5000 per year on an income of 81, 100 to
$1,000. j. NJ, JR.

This sovereign remedy is compounded from the
favorite recipe of iustrious Physician and Chem
ist who for many years used it with the most COM
plete success IN MS extensive private praetice. -
he had long been profoundly impressed with the
wonderful virtue of honey ofthe plant Horehound,
inunion with the Cleansing and Healing properties
oftar extracted from the Life Principle the forest
trsc Abies BalsaHea or Balm of Gilead For years
he was bafso in his attempts to blend these great
medicinal forces into such unto that the original
power of each would be preserved. the disagreeable
qualities of common tar removed, and the price of
the compound be within the means of all. At last,
AFTER long course ofdifcult chemical experiments
he found that by adding to these ve other ingredi
ents, each valuable by ITSELF he not only obtain
ed the desired results, but greatly increased the
curative power of the compound. This having been
thoroughly tested by practice, is offered to the
general public safe, pleasant and intallible
