where the Revenue Comes From.

Some statistician has given the following
figures
Massachusetts,, with population of l.
23l 600, paid in 1864 an internal revenue
tax of $23 ,259 1866, or $12.6l to each man,
woman and child in the state. This Is the
tax of manufacturing state.
Rhode Island, with population OF Ia, :
$40, paid in 1864 an internal revenue tax OF
So $40 ,846, or SIC to every one OF her peo-
Pile Another manufacturing state.
Connecticut, population 46O, IA paid IN
1864 an internal revenue tax of $6,OO9,99o,
or $9.45 to every one of her people. An
other manufacturing state.
Total population of the three states, l.
S65, 767. Total internal tax paid, $33 w, >
10.
Now let us take three agricultural states :;
Population Income tax. Per capita
Ohio, 2,ssO5li 152:6l25. = =
M siiiaGss 3ig,i aI1 s5nsos $;
Total population of the three states 4,79l :
SIS. Total internal revenue tax paid by
the three states, S27 us ,69S.
Thus it will be seen that the government
collects an internal revenue tax OF S33 ,2OI )
10 from / 1865 1888 manufacturers, while 1t
collects tax of but S27, ia ,69S from 4,19l, )
SIS farmers.
The inference from these figures is par
TALLY unjust to the farmers. 1t may be time
that the manufacturers pay in the first m
stance, the revenue tax assessed upon their
manufactures, just as the importerspay the
duty levied upon the goods they import.
But in the one case the tax, and in the other
the duty is added to the cost of the goods and
is paid by the buyers, and the farmers pay
this manufacturers tax in fact on every ar
ticle they buy. Both tax and duty, when
actually paid, are charged over to the con-
sumner.
So far, however, as the figures 20 to show
the Importance to tho revenue of a manufae-
turing over an agricultural community, they
arc valuable Undoubtedly Massachusetts,
has contributed much more directly to the
support of the government than Illinois,
New Hampshire than Vermont. If this nation
was purely an agricultural people, and we
did what the free traders tell us frequently
ought to do. put no restrictions or tariffs
upon trade, but leave every man at liberty
to import as much as he pleases free of duty
our national debt would soon not be worth
the paper upon which the bonds are printed
And the farmer, by the existence of manufac-
turing industries in his vicinity, and the mar
ket thereby furnished him, becomes able tC
pay the taxes indirectly levied upon him to
support these manufactures against foreign
competition. In this small compass lies the
whole reason for protective tariff, and the
full answer to the logic Of the free traders
1t is the greatest misfortune for Vermont that
its capitalists do not build up industries
that will give profitable employment to &
population double our own, and enable oui
farmers to sell for consumption at home the
products of their farms, that now seek city
market If this were done our State would
make more considerable figure in the inter
nal revenue reports as well as in the census.

The Senate of Virginia has passed bill
calling a Constitutional Convention under
the provisions of the Military reconstruction
law recently enacted by Congress. The ar
gument in favor of it which had the most in
huence, was, that unless the dominant whites
at once took possession of the State under
the new reconstruction bill. the Union men
and the colored people would proceed under
the law to take control of the new State
government. The late rebels believe them
selves strong enough to out-number the col
ored voters and Union men together, and very
likely are so. However this may be, the bal
lot once in the hands of all the voters of
Virginia, without possibility of recall, the
freedmen viii become strong in their power
to assert their rights. They may for the
present be in minority, but it will be i'm
possible to keep them from being potential
enough in the elections to secure themselves
against outrageous denials of their right
to the equal protection of the laws Of the
State.

The Republican Majority in Congress.

The New York World, leading the way
for all the Democratic papers of the country,
calls the Republican majority in Congress

of the Thirty-Ninth Congress-, and it pa
rades their names, surrounded with black
lines, as the men who voted to = organize
hell" this is quoted from Doolittle. who
has been taking his pay for supporting John
son, out of the New York custom house in
the Southern States One is curious to I'M
derstand the Worlds idea of infamv. The
reconstruction bill hurts nobody in the South
but rebels. 1t assails no Democrat at the
North except in his sympathies with treason.
1t makes no determinations against any
man except for crimes that he may have com
mitted 1t denies the President S power to
organize any state government, and provides
that his work shall go for nothing. and a re-
organization shall be consummated in which
rebels of certain grade shall not hold Office,
and in which distinctions at the ballot-box
on account Of color shall not be recognized.
1t simply puts into the Legislation of the
nation the Declaration of Independence, and
makes it a vital fact in all the future of the
Republic For doing this, the World calls
the majority " Infamous" What friend of
liberty would care to be called famous by

treason virtue, and persists in standing up

The CIvIL RIGHTS ACT.-Certain magis-

allow negroes TO testify in their courts, have
been arrested for violating the Civil Rights
act. and have been held under bonds for trial

any trial, by hiring them to planters for
sums of money varying from ten to fifteen
dollars.

DEMOCRATIC ADVICE TO THE SoUIH.-Ihe
New York World advises the rebels TO accept
the situation and go ahead and reconstruct
their State governments according to the pre-
visions of the recent act of Congress. 1t
says there are three courses open TO the
rebels, to wit "a new rebellion, a patient
and sullen waiting for a change III the gov
eminent. and a compliance with the law. 1t
thinks the South would be likely to fail more
disastrously in a second rebellion than in the
one in which they have been so terribly pun
ished. 1t is persuaded that the Radicals will
keep control of the government, and adhere
to their policy of exclusion until the crack
of doom, unless the Democrats of the North
can be reinforced by Southern votes. 1t con-
cludes therefore, that the Southern rebels
should at once proceed to reorganize their
governments the basis of universal suf-
frage, as provided in the reconstruction act,
and be ready next fall to claim representation
in Congress. If this course is pursued, it
argues, these rebels can make friends of
the negroes, and secure their votes for con-
servatives instead of radicals, thus maintain
ing Democratic supremacy in all the South
ern States. If it is not pursued, it appre-
bends that these States will fall into the
melancholy condition of Tennessee and Mis-
souri,, and be controlled at home and repre-
sented in Congress by the most radical of the
Radicals.
This is very pretty scheme, and if it can
be put in practice will doubtless be quite a
cunning thing for the South to do. We more
than suspect, however, that it may not work
in all respects as the World anticipates. The
negroes who have just voted in Georgetown
and Alexandria did not support the conserv-
alive ticket, and we see no reason for sup
posing they will vote that ticket in South
Carolina. But we trust the rebels will take
the Worlds advice and proceed with the
work of reconstruction, whichever party Sc
cures the negro vote. We are in favor of
universal suffrage, irrespective of the politics
of the voter.
