The Law Taxing foreign capital held by
our ciliZrns, which has caus, d so much com
plaint and dissatisfaction, and which has been
held in abeyance for some year or two past,
is again raising complaint 10y the effort to
levy such taxes. We suppose ii is gcner ,lly
the duty Of officers to carry out aud execute
the law, but law so maniiestly wrong, in the
view Ofjuslce, and 50 at war with sound poll
cy as to become dead letter both here and
elsewhere, raises strong pr, sumption that
it may lie better in The breach than in the
observance. II is not easy to see why the
provision is not swept from, the statute book
and suffered TO be forgotten. lis fl, ct is
TO drive, 0I keep capital out of the State, for
no person would be likely 10 come into the
State with capital invested elsewhere, subject
to taxation where so invested and suljcct to
another tax where the party resides. The
two objections TO the laH-wrong and impoli-
cy-would seem to be sufficient for It's coudem-
nation and repeal, and il this can't be brought
about, 10 treat it as il is treated in the city of
Cleveland and other placcs-as dead letter
There are some of our citizens who depend up
on such investments for their support, who
are made very uncomfortable at the possbil-
ity or prospect of having their moderate
income thus lrittered away by double taxa
ton.

thinks If the Democrats had held no ma

been alive to-day. He thinks they should
have wholly abandoned their organization

could have been done, success would un-
