MERCHANTS LICENSES tax upon NOR
chants licenses in Virginia is actually unjust.
In 1860, when the tax upon land was forty
cents upon hundred dollars worth, the TAX
upon merchants licenses was just about "haI
it is now, when the land tax is only fourteen
cents. And this city, which then paid about
one-fourteenth of the whole revenue OF the
State now pays something like one-tourth OIL
that revenue. But what is more singular ana
more unrea sonable is the fact that The present
law actually discriminates against the OLD mer-
chants. A merchant might be wiling to tolerate
high tax upon his license if it operated as d
protection against competition; put When nc
is made to pay double taxes, and his new riyaiS
in business are put upon better iootlng lhah
himself, he cannot but feel that the Ia" Is
oppressive. Yet such is the operation OF the
existing law. An old firm not only pays
specifc tax, but is compelled to pay heavy
tax upon the sales Of the preceding, year;
whereas new house pays only the spcclhc TAX
So that the "squatters, who never remain IN
one place more than twelve months, are, ny
our inconsiderate legislation, placed upon q
better footing than the we'll known houses OF
established reputation and credit. And even
this is not the worst feature of the law; ior II
Jones 4 Smith dissolve partnership, and the
one carries on the old business, and the other
opens new house, they are both required to
pay taxes upon the whole amount OF sales
made The preceding year by the old llrm
while, as We have already said stranger may
commence business side by side with either,
and upon much larger scale, upon paying
merely the specific tax.
II any mem Der OF the Legislature will ollcr a
resolution calling for the information, ne will
learn from the Auditor that, small as is the
number Of merchants compared with the per,
Sons engaged in other occupations, they THIS
year paid about half the taxes Of the State.
The statement is almost incredible, yet we have
it from one who is familiar with the subject. --

The Richmond Times speaking of the over
stocked labor market in many quarters Of the
globe, says: eve believe that living
whether it be at agriculture or the mechanic
arts, can be made easier at the South than in
most portions Of the habitable globe When
this fact shall once become fully and fairly
known to those swarms of men who are con-
tinually leaving the crowded hives Of Europe
and the North we shall reap our share of the
redundant labor and capital which constantly
