The reduction of Taxa,ion is subiec.

The reduction OF Taxation is a subject
upon which politicians are at all times
pleased to dwell We have the assurance
that every effort viii be made to bring
about this much desired result But as
we have before sad. legislation NAV
aid the people. but Legislation alone can
not accomplish what We SO much desire.
Tie only true mode ofrcducing the tax
alton is by the development of the resour-
ces of the state. The building up of onr
towns and cisss will give more re lief to
the agricultural portion Of our state than
anything else. Take the city Of Ba hi
more for examp lc. The taxes pad by
that one city are almost, if not. sufficient
TO meet the ordinary expenses Of the
S tate. Cities can, and do. bear heavier
taxation than country districts. Suppose
our cities were blu lit up and fully devel.
oped who can calculate the amount of re
lief to the agricultural districts? Have
not Norfolk, Richmond and Alexandra
every facility for extensive trade VII ich is
enjoyed by the cities of other states ! and
the time is not far distant when they will
cpioy railroad facilities by direct lines
running through the South, the West
and the great Northwest. Let every ef-
fort be made ty tue people of Virginia
to build up these cities and tLey will
command their share Of the patronage OF
ether states. This work cannot be done
by the citizens of the state independents
of the business men of the cities. nor by
the latter independent Of the former, but,
BY mutual effort. the work may be ac-
complishcd. Let the cities of Firg inia
be prepared to give to merchants the same
opportunities to purchase cheap goods.
that are effered in cities farther North.
and BY judicious efforts not only the
trade OF our own state, but that of other
states can be drawn to these points. Al
exandria at this time supplies our MGR
chants almost exclusively with queens
ware, and to greatextent. with groce-
ries. Why may she not supply the
merchants ofVirginia with not only these
srticles Of trade but with their Dry Goods
Notions, Boots. Shoes. Tobacco. Hard
ware, and in fact, every thing which they
need. The effort should be made. The
prosperity. not only of the cities. but of
the en- tire state is dependent upon the
development of our business marts As
long as our citizens give all their trade to
the cities Of other states We cannot look
forward to the prosperity at home which
We all 90 much desire. This is subject
ofparamount importance to the entire
state, and commends itself especially to the
attention of our business men.
