THE INCOME TAX.

Il ne Editor Of The Ttbuhe
SIR: ! have read the articles in your paper on
the subject OF the tax incomes, aud seems TO
that the income tax is the most just and equitable
of all the taxes levied by Congress for the support Of

the support Of the institutions under which we live.
Take, for instance, the merchant who returned the
largest income OF any man In the United States Mr.
Alexander T. Stewart, who returned for the year 1866
$4,000 his pains, profits and income for that
year On this he paid as tax some 100000 and but

profits 10 the treasury TO the price OF his food he
added percentage OF profit, and the purchasers paid

Labor Troubles.

New York, Aug. 81.
At meeting of the backlayers, last
night, reports were made showing that
about $25, 900 have been expended in car
ryipg on the strike. A resolution to ap
point committee to travel through the
country to collect such sums as the differ
ent Trades Unions may be disposed to con-
tribute to the strike, and to prevent men
from coming to the city, was adopted.
There is little unpleasantness at the
Springfield armory and workshops. About
two months ago an order came from Wash
ington making eight hours days work,
and since that time the men have been
working on that system, with the under
standing that their pay was to continue
without reduction. On Thursday, how
ever, Col. Benton told the men, informally,
that he had instructions from headquarters
that their wages would be cut down pro-
portionately, and that all who wished could
work ten hours and receive their old LAY
for the same. This was an unlocked Sfor
turn in affairs, and ali hands quit, Is usual,
at 4 o'clock, with tbe determination to
work only eight hours and take the chances
of receiving full pay.

SCHOOL MEETING.-An adjourned meet
ING of the electors in School District No.
/, which was very numerously attended,
was held at the school house on Monday
evening. A tax of So, 500 was voted to de.
fray current expenses of the district during
the ensuing year. The question of build
ing new school house Immediately was
brought up, and elected much warmth OF
feeling and considerable heated discussion.
Those opposed to the division of the dis
trict were generally in favor of the measure,
believing that II the entire district could be
committed to the project of erecting a new
school building at once, that such action
would do much toward keeping the district
together. For the same reason, those who
advocated the proposed division were op-
posed to the measure. A motion that
the district proceed at once to build new
school house, to be completed in three
years, was carried by close vote. A mo-
ton to appropriate $4,000 for this pur-
pose was voted down. The meeting then
adjourned for four weeks, by which time
the vexed question of the division of the
district will be settled. and intelligent ac-
ton can be taken in the matter of school
buildings, etc
