TALK CHEAP.

We did not suppose the Commercial wouia ch
deayour to get out of the dilamma III "n'eh u
found itself when we asked ii to give the pcopis
come better plan OH which TO frame tax iaw' D!
such shallow prctcxt as the following, quoted
from its issue of Saturday:
at is our business to point out the fact tia'
these taxes are laid upon the industry anu pusi
ness of this city and county and are thcrciore un
equal, and 1t Is the business OF the GAZETTE US
soeiatee to provide system which snail not con
tain these Objectionable features. They nave the
majority and the responsibility. Possessing .ne
one let them meet the other. We tell them thcif
revenue system is unequal and uniair--the people
upon whom it bears GENEROUSLY so declare IL -"ho
it is for them to remedy the fault
So il appears that it is the business ofthc Com
merc,al to talk about unequal taxation. 1t does
its business very poorly then, FIVE may Judge by
the logic of the sentence in which it says "these
taxes are laid upon the industry and business OF
this city and county, and are therefore unequal
The taxes are, therefore, unequal, because iaid
upon the industry and business of this county.
Most profound! Not unequally lad but un.
equal because they are laid upon "this city ana
county"
The Commercial has refused 10 give us any
other or better mode of taxation while 1t con
demns the present.
Now, 1t declares by the present law the taxes
ore laid upon the industry and business OF 'his
city and county and are therefore unequal. Ac-
cording to that stylc of reasoning they must not
be laid on this city and county at all, otherwise
they would be unequal. Well, let that pass.
Now, will the Commercial please TO point ont
o single feature Of the law that rests upon the
business of this city or county that does not
equally apply to the business of any other city,
town or county in the State?
Will Il point out to us the clause or section IN
the tax law that singles out Wilmington or New
Castle county and authorizes the collection OF
tax from them that it docs not authorize TO he
collected from any other town or county in the
States
Does 1t tax more heavily the farmer in New
Castle county than the farmer in Kent or Sussex?
10 tho shoemaker the tailor, the merchant, the
builder the machinist or the doctor or lawyer OF
Wilmington taxed any heavier in proportion TO
his business than the same occupations in Smyrna
Dover, Milford or Georgetown?
We would be glad to get rid OF the tax. But
We can see no mode Of escape, and have asked
the Commercial to point out aircr and more equal
mode Of leyying it. 1t declines TO do this at the
same time it is vigorous in its dcnuncia,ion OF
the present law.
the tax from real estate In that case the farmers
and owners Of real estate would have 10 pay two
or three times as much.

The Trustees of the Mutual Insurance Com
pany have abandoned their purpose to reduce
rates Of premium. From their explanation o.
reasons published, they still maintain tha
feasibility Of carrying out their project with
entire safety to their policy hellers. they have
deferred to the circumstances Of those who
entertain different opinion, and will a.lhsrs
to the old rates. This action Of theirs will, We
presume. put an end to the war between the
friends and enemies Of the proposed reduction
which has been waged in such lively manner
in the newspapers for the past fortnight and lsl
the business Of life insurance flow on in its
former uerene and tranquil manner.

The workmen Of the Beaver Falls Cutlery
Company. near Pittsburgh, are Of the opinion
that, like that innocent and unfortunate Bill
Nye, they are being ruined BY Chinese cheap
labor. These Chinese laborers number some
one hundred, and were recently imported by
the Beaver Falls Company. The difference in
lieve the telegraphic despatch, which informs
us Of the threatened strike Of the white work
men. These latter have been receiving eighty
dollars per month. The Chinese are willing to
do the same work for twenty-five gold, per
month. As the combination among the white
workmen in Western Pennsy lvania is unusually
close and strong, any introduction Of foreign
labor, 40 distasteful TO them, will meet with
more determined opposition than probably it
would in any other pait of the United States
This experiment Of the Beaver Falls Company
like that Of Mr.. Sampson, in Massachusetts,, will
hardly be followed by other manufacturers.

Soldiers and Sailors Convention


The veteran Soldiers and Sailors con-
vention held at Pittsburgh on the 18th
and 18th, inst was success in the most
triumphant sense. At no time since
the close of the war, when the great
armies of the nation, having done their
work, and done it well, quietly disband-
ed and the soldier again became pro-
ducer, has there been such gathering
of veteran defenders of our country as
the one at Pittsburgh last week.
There we're at least $4,000 of the
boys in blue together, who in the days OF
other years stood with touch of elbowes
as the gray and butternut clad traitor
enemies advanced upon them, not only
to destroy them, but the country and
ov,v,umv ~, Which thoy rore fight
ing.
The convention was called to order
Tuesday morning by Maj. Gen. A. E.
Burnside of Rhode Island. Gen.
Sueitzer delivered an address of well
come on behalf Of the citizens of Pitts
burg and the State Of Pennsylvania full
of thrilling eloqence. Gev. Geary was
then conducted to the front by Gen.
Burnside, and as the chief magistrate of
our grand old commonwealth delivered
an eloquent and hearty address of well
com to the veteran Soldiers and Sailors
then assembled. Gen. Burnside then
delivered an address as chairman of the
veterans national committee tull of in
terest to every soldier and sailor present.
Gen. Joseph R. Hawly of connecticut
was then introduced as temporary chair
man of the convention amid thun 1ering
applause. Gen. Hawley's speech on
assuming the duties of the office to
which his comrades called him was one
Of the most mastery efforts we have
ever heard in the field Of politics, in
deed it was patriotism at white heat re-
sponded by the patriotism of fellow pa
triots at like temperature.
Various communications were then in
troduced one Of which bore the greetings
of $4,000 fellow veterans, and another
the wishes of success from 100 ex>con-
federate officers and soldiers from the
States of Louisiana, Georgia, Missouri
and Texas.
The afternoon session like that of the
forenoon was characterised by intense
enthusiasm, while the speeches by Gen
John A. Logan, permanent chairman
and other distinguished speakers from
the rank and file of our Nations defend
ers, we're received by outbursts of en-
thusiastic applause that will be remem
bered by speakers and hearers, unit
memory shall fade out and comrades
living join those who, though dead ye
speak by their deeds of noble daring
Our space is too limited to give tn
faintest idea OF the grand event.
Wednesday brought on the gran'
parade. The procession was on a seal
surprising perhaps anything of the kim
that has ever occurred ia this country
Besides the delegations of veterans frer
every State and Territory in the Union
there were score and more of large loes
delegations in that vast procession. Th
procession was three hours passing
given point The grand event closed b
Torch light procession the evening 9
the 18th, estimated at nine miles j
length, then quietly, and as if by magi
these veteran patriots returned to thel
homes. Good order in every sense
the word prevailed as all the Pittsburgei
bear testimony,
