Its Ertensiue Circulation IN all parts Of

THE MOST POPULAR RELIGIOUS WEEKLY 1,
TIE WORLD.

The following facts and figures taken
from our Mail Books, prove most conclu-
siveIv that The INDEPENDENT is the best
advertising medium in the country, We
stand ready to show our books to any
advertiser who doubts the accuracy of
our statement. We are astonished our
selves at this revelation OF Unparalleled
facts and figures made in recent exam
ination of our books Advertisers will
also bear in mind that The INDEPENDENT
probably circulates-through news
agents, to whom we make large sales
in many places not mentioned on our
Mail Books. We do not believe, for in
stance, that any single newspaper in the
State of Massachusetts, either secular or
religious, goes into so many towns or to
so many post Offices in that State as does
THE INDEPENDENT; and the same, we be.
lieve, is true Of Illinois, and also of erery
other Northern State. In other words,
The INDEPENDENT has wider territorial
circulation in each of the Northern States
than any other journal either local or
foreign. If a business man, therefore, in
Boston, Chicago, or elsewhere, wants TO
communicate with the public in his own
State and ricinity, The INDEPENDENT, as
will be seen, is by far the best medium.
Our crowded advertising conclusiyely
show that business men in all directions
already appreciate our ability to aid
them and we are not Arid to refer in>
Discriminatory to thousands of such in
New York and elsewhere.
We mean it shall not be our fault if
The INDEPENDENT does not 90 to every
post Office in the country. In other
words, we mean to merit the patronage
of all good people in every direction.

The Income Tax.

The rich men, who are the most
able, but who are the least wiling to
bear their just proportion of the burden
Of taxes, are again importnning Con
gress to repeal the income tax law The
U. S Senate accordingly adopted res
olution to that effect, and sent il to the
House for concurrence. From which
body it was promptly returned, and the
attention of the Senate called to the Con-
stitution of the United States, which
provides that all measures touching the
revenue. shall originate in the House Of
Representatives From the prompt
manner in which the House acted in this
case, we are led to hope that in that
branch the repeal spirit is weak.
If there is one good feature in all
the laws for raising revenue, it is that
provided for raising tex on incomes
where they exceed $1,000. That man
who objects to pay q per cent. to
cid in paying the war debt, on MS net
yearly earnings in excess of $4,000,
is not worthy to enjoy the privileges OF a
free government, secured to him by the

pressive. 1t touches only those who are
comparatively rich No man can justly
be called poor whose net income reaches
$1,000 per annum, and he has to 90 be-
yond that figure before the law affects
him
It is objected that the law is inquisi-
tional, which is no argument against it,
An honest man does not hide his prop
orty, and his creditors are never found
Quizzing his neighbors ~ to his stand
ing. A dishonest man pays only such
debts as no cannot avoid, and hence his
creditors are compelled to be inquisito
rial, in order to get what he owes them.
To the dishonest only is the inquisitorial
feature Of the law obnoxious. 1t is ar
gued with more force, that the law OPP
presses honest men, while the dishonest
ones are not affected by it. TO this we
would say, admitting that some men do
succeed through perjury in evading the
tax, those who render true statements of
their incomes pay only for themselves
The fact that one man lies and defrauds
his creditors does not make it less oblig>
ntory upon his neighbor to pay his own
debts
The great mass Of the people, whose
net incomes are less than $4,000 per an

say, ninety,nine ona,hundredths of the

County Government.

We fully indorse the following, taken
from the Dodgeville Chronicle of last
week:
We need a new, or a return to the old
system Of county government We have
at all times opposed the present system
as too unwieldv and expensive, and the
more we witness its workings, the more
reason we have for opposing it. II has
become evident since the last meeting Of
the legislature, that the system we are
working under now was forced upon the
people of the State against their wishes
and as for the county of Iowa, we arc
certain it was in opposition to the wishes
of very large majority,
We are willing to concede that the
present system might work t. advantage,
for very limited number of counties in
the State, but very large majority of
them is being oppressed with this mani
festaton Of the wisdom Of the last legis
lature. We hope the presen legislature
may indulge their constituents a little
this winter by repeating the obnoxious
act, and permitting i. to remain so until
the people ask to have it changed.
If the legislature desire to accommo-
date the few counties that havo prefer
ence for the present system, they must
begin on the constitution of the State,
and change its requirements for "uni>
form system of town and county govern
ment."
We hope the present law will be re-
pealed; for we regard this as next to the
most important matter which will come
before the legislature at its present ses-
sion.
