test In South Carolina for the nomi-
nation of the Republican party for
Governor. Those negroes who prac-

REDUCTION OF TAXES.

A well-informed Eastern jonrnal,
speaking of the state boast of the Re-
publican leaders regarding the reduc-
zion of taxes shows conclusively that
the "amount of tariff taxes paid by
our people for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1870. was S194,53S,S74;-
while the amount for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1871, was s2o6, ,270,-
400, being an increase of nearly tsce!oe
millions of dollars over last year
But this is not all there is to consider
in this connection. It has been DEM
onstrated by the most careful and
thorough investigation, that by the
workings of the present iniquitous
system of Radical tariff taxation, for
.eyery dollar of revenue that it puts
into the Federal treasury, it takes
four more from the hands of the
laboring masses and puts into the
pockets of protected monopolists, SO
that the real increase in taxation un-
der the tariff system this year over
last, is sirty millions Of dollars, in
round numbers, sum which win
cover all the reduction made in in,
ternal revenue taxation, and leave
balance of at least thirty millions
for net increase in the burden upon
the peoplel Let us hear no more
about the reduction of taxation"
