Revenue, in his able and exhaustive
report to Congress, discusses this
question under the head of the sin
fluence of State and local taxation
on the cost Of production He
gives several marked instances in
some of the States where the rate
of taxation upon all capital engaged
in manufactures is so large as to
materially affect the articles pro-
duced. For instance, when the bust
ness is carried on by corporate
company, the capital is taxed for
State, municipal and local purposes
at very high rates; and then the
shares held by individuals are
taxed as personal property, and
then the United States tax upon
all sales, and upon all dividends.
He closes this part of his report
with 'One suggestion in view of these
facts and circumstances, and that
is, that if any State should deter
mine to adopt system of local tax
alton analogous to that recogized
in Great Britain or France, it might
confidently anticipate a very large
influx of capital and manufactures
from beyond its borders, thereby
rapidly increasing its wealth and
developments, and possibly, as an
ultimate result, compelling other
States to adopt the same liberal
and enlightened policy as a mea.
sure of defence and protection
"If the Legislature, while on this
subject, could find some mode to
limit and control local and munici-
pal taxation within reasonable
bounds, it would also be ofimmense
service. In all our cities, the mu-
nicipal taxes of almost every kind
are extravagantly high, and in
many instances Outrageously so.
The consequence of this is seen in
It's effect upon the value of real es-
tate, the rents, and its depressing
effects upon manufactures.
again, our own municipal au-
thorities are not without power in
influencing capital to be invested
here in manufactures. Let our
city government refer this whole
subject to commissioners to exam
inc into the whole subject Of taxa
ton, and see whether it cannot be
materially reduced, and so read
iusted as to favor the introduction
of capital rather than to repel it.
There is no city in our country sit
uated on o more magnificent body
of water and better located for
manufactures of every kind, and
there must be some reason why
they have not been introduced here.
Let them ascertain, if possible, the
cause of this, and 50 far as it is
within the power Of our city author
tiles, let it be promptly remedied."
These views are entitled to care
full consideration both from our
State and local authorities. The
whole subject is fraught with inter
est to our entire people, and we in
vito the careful and serious atten-
ton Of the Legislature, in order
that whatever is necessary to pro
mote and foster manufacturing in
the State may be done at once.

Where that delicious journey ended.
She shook her linglets from her brow.
And with Thank you, Ned, dissembled,

With what daring wish trembled.
A cloud passed kindly overhead,
The moon was slowly peeping through it.

The question arises. how long WILL these IN
fiueICes continue to actI The recent deci-ion
Ot the Snpreme Court, that contracts for coin
are valid IN law. opens the way for the use OF
com as money and 1T is likely that the demand
for It, for this purpose, may increase. The
general expectation of a speedy return to specie
payments has already been seriously weakened
by recent events, and may soon piss away en-
tirely. The large sales Of gold ara losing their
effect. And finally, the shipments of bonds to
European market are now approaching a
limit In the small amount OF the national debt
which remains in this country within the reach
of foreign arkers. On the whole, therefore,
the influences which have for 80 longs time
unnaturally depressed the price of gold are
rapidly growing weaker; and unless some new
element appears in the situation to counterbaI-
sICe this change, the low quotations of last
MarCh do not promise soon to return.
