Howto Get ria ofHigh Taxes.


Ne know this caption viii attract at
tentiOn. whether the article be satisfac-
tory or not. Evidently We have q
large debt 10 pay. There are two ways
in which we may go to work to dis
charge it. First, we may continue to
dig it ont of the ground, and annually
pay the interest and a portion of tile
principal. BY this means in the course
of hundred years we viii get ourpub-
lie debt paid. But our lands and houses
will be utterly exhausted, worn out
and valueless. Another way viii be to
let the creditors take all we have now
and give us a clear receipt. IL we do
not adopt one of these plans we must
try financieTing and the principles OF
political economy to help us ont Of the
dilemma. The only principle to be APP
piled and brought practically int OPP
Grafton to effect thR object is to increase
the material wealth Eof the country. so
that the burden viii be different, or, in
homely language, there will be more
shoulders to carry il, and therefore less
weight on each individual.
Ii the actual material wealth of Ala
hama tor TenBessee) was double what
it Is, don't every one see that cur taxes
at bali the present rates would yield
the amount of revenue now raised?
Then the question arises, how are we to
increase the wealth Of the Stateg Evi-
IDENTIFY not by agriculture alone; the
day for cotton as the gssat source of
wealth 70 build up country is past and
gone. Then we must develop other re-
sources, the minerals, Misunderstanding
and every species OF wealth that we
possess. We must diversity labor, inl-
prove machinery, produce grain, raise
stock, manufacture everything we need
and some 20 spare. These things must
be done sooner or later, and until they
are done we viii be burdened with tax
e.. Now, 20 accomplish these great
ends, first of all we must attract capital
and skin. To do this we must have
easy and quick transportation. This
can only be had by means OF Railroads.

roads, and then we viii see the begin

Our Office was regaled last Friday
with some excellent music drawn from
thrce-stringed violin by one of our
prominent railroad men. We were not
a little surprised when the Colonel
picked up the thing and went to work,
and our hair cen most stood on end as
his gushing strains foated around
amongst the furniture, cchoing from
the ink keg back agin the stove ard
mixing around among the chairs and
old boxes; and as the deftly-handled
magic bow made the ten cent eatgufs to
vibrate with delicious sweetness The
soul-inspiring strains of "Old Alollie
+ Har," it sot the Devil to dancing and
made us feel as if we were feasting on
half-moOn pies, and forget for a moment
the all-absorbing subject of Railroads.
