federal arm is stronger than the State.

see in the Times and Picaypne every day
evidences that not only their consent but
their obedience is withheld. But let US

revolution Can one hundred do ltt Can
ten thousand do il by merely withholding

Many persons last year honesty and
promptly paid their taxes who are not
aware that an additional tax OF one mill
vas assessed, under the provisions of the
funding bill. quite late il. the season.
Few of those who settled the original de-
mand during the first four or five months
Of the year, paid this additional claim OF
the State. and were consequently returned
in December, by the old collectors. as de-
linquents The amounts are generally
trihing upon each property, and under
the ninety day stay law can now be paid
Without the penalties; but trifting as the
sum may be, it stands as q cloud upon
the title-a recorded mortgage efectually
barring the transfer OF tie property.
Suits will be brought for the collection of
this one mill tax if il is no. paid in due
time, and the court and sheriff's costs will
prove far greater than the tax bills.
We make this statement solely in kind

taxpayers who may not understand that
they are in default.
