One Of the moro ginring instances of uu.
blushing inapu1once in the way Of Legislative
schemes Of robbery is contained in n promo.
sition by LEONARD Myers, member OF
Congress from Philadelphia, to increase tho
tax on the consumers Of manufactured cot
tons, wools, iron aud steel, metals, paper, in.
/ tlia rubber, glass, leather, mud u variety of
other materials. It is proposed as nleas,ro
"to give employment to labor" by increasing
tho tax ton per cent on every article of neces-
slty that has to bo purchased with tho pro.
cceds of labor. Two years ago, under the
load Of Mr. KELLEY, Of Philadelphia, the
majority of both parties in Congress, partly
by design and partly through Ignorance, re-.
pealcd the tax on ton and coffee. Ten and
coffee not being products Of this country, tic
repeal Of tic duty had no other elect than to
raiso tho price Mt the place of production :;
aud tho largo revenue previously derived by
tho Government has since thon boen paid to
tho foreign producers nnd to foreign Govern
nlcnts III export taxos, Congress had previous
" reduced the duties Oh noarly MI classcs

still leaving tho duty unprecedented
in my civilized nation. Tho repeal of tho
tax OIL colfoo md ten Ind another object and

practical difference rs a source Of rGyonuo bo-
tween tax on ton and coffee, and tax on
cotton nna WOODEN goods and other lines Of
commodities made Mt home, is readily illus
tratel. Thus, q tax on ten and coffee, mono
being produced in this country, is nil rovopuc,
and goea directly to tho Treasury, while tax
