editor of the Republican of this place pledg
es himself to "promulgate" in this benight.

thrower of antiquated prejudices," few
slmple questions. Instead of receiving
plain straightforward replies, we are told
that our questions are "impertinent" and
that We "will be told all about it next (this)
week" Thus have we been left, by this

The $685., 600 Additional State Tax,

The Radical officers at Harrisburg. have
made a bold effort to replenish the Treas
ury, and Que, as we think, by no means jus
tifiable by any law or usage.
A year or two ago, the Radical Legisla-
ture repealed the State tax on real estate,
and left the tax on personal property,
about 100000 stand. The Geary organ
at Harrisburg frankly admits that the tax
. on personal property may not be necessa-
ry, and certainly it is not, but because the
Legislature last winter wisely or unwisely,
neglected to pass the bill proposed by the
State Treasurer, to apportion that amount
among the several counties of the Com
monwealth, therefore these officers gravely
undertake to increase the valuation on
personal property to such an extent over
| and above the valuation of the township
assessors as to raise $625,000! Now,
what reason was there for this arbitrary
addition of $325,000 to the State tax.
For the last year or two there has been
on an average nearly three millions in the
Treasury of the State, and when we re-
member the rich drippings that fall from
so large an amount, which cannot be less
than SEC, 900 per annum in addition to le-
! gal salaries, we can hardly wonder that
there should be some zeal on the part of
/ the officers to collect taxes.
Perhaps also when these Radical officers
found that the State sustained an annual
loss of over 100000 by reason of borrow
ing S23,0OO,Oo0 at six per cent, exempt
from taxation, to pay off tax loan of a
similar amount, at five per cent, they con-
cluded to resort to this mode of proceeding
to make il up.
Whatever may be the reason given for
this gross outrage upon the taxpayers, it
cannot relieve the Radicals from the
charge of having repealed the State tax on
real estate only with view to deceive and
humbug the people.
Had the Democratic party remained in
power, the State tax on real and personal
property, would have been repealed years
ago, and the State debt reduced S5,000,0 900
below what it is.-Columbian.
