Meeting of Prohibitionists.

Concord, August 9. A meeting of the State
central committee of the prohibition party of the
State was held here this afternoon, and the fol-
lowing declaration Of principles was unanimously
agreed upon:
We believe in the legal prohibition of the i'm
portation, manufacture and sale Of intoxicating
liquor as a beverage.
We believe that no political party that is radi-
cally divided upon this question can make or en-
force any law for the suppression of the importa-
ton, manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors
We believe that tie democratic and republican
parties are radically divided on this question as
TO make 1t impossible for either of them under
their present organization, to accomplish tie OBJ
ject arrived at by us.
We believe that all the votes thrown for these
parts, as at present organized and acting, are not
only thrown away, but that they give just much
strength and encouragement to the liquor traffic.
We believe that the only efficient way to pre-
serve the present prohibltory law upon statute
books, and TO secure its enforcement, Is to vote
with the prohibition party. We will not homi-
nate or sustain any candidates for office who do
not most heartily and fully endorse and sustain
the above statement of principles.
1t was voted to hold the State Convention in
this city on the 10th OF November next.
The meeting was fully attended, and the DELHI
eratons were harmonious.

Discount Oh Taxes.

1t may be harmless when no one is deceived by
necessary to raise certain sums of money, by tax
alton, TO meet current demands. Ii now they de-
eide TO discount any given per cent. 10 ALL cry
who shall pay their taxes within given time, it
follows that there must be deficiency in the
whole amount, only to be added to the next assess
mont, or there must have been an orerlay TO cor
respond with the abatement. Can any show
by figures logic wherein is the gain to the whole
body politici Your merchant may add ten per
cent. to the price of his ares, that he may seem
to do you favor by discounting that amount to
you. But you point out the gain except in
the negative-the loss of principle on the part of
the merchant The difference is, in the one case
the merchant deceives you in the other, you de-
ceive yourself, if you advocate or vote for the
proceeding. The above is assuming that all Pay
within the specified time and receive the stpulat-
ed discount.
But there is another aspect to the case that may
not be entirely harmless in its operation. If there
has been an overlay made to meet the discount, OF
if debt is insured by the deficiency, the result
will ultimately be the same. 1t follows that each
mans assessment is just much more than the
actual amount wanted as the discount is to be.
Now suppose one-half the tax payers go forward
and get the discount, the other half do not lind
convenient orposslbe to do so, and so when the,
do pay, pay the jul amount, which is e, or III
per cent more than it would have been but for the
discount n AIDE to the other half.
But still farther, suppose, and which Is altogeth-
er probable is the real effect of the operation the
overlap paid by the last half is put in offset
TO the discount made to the first half does it not
follow that the poorer half are made to pay the
taxes of the richer half by jast the amount of the
oNeriay ana discount! TAXPAYER.
