REMISSION or TAXATION.
Gentlemen, in some remarks | had occasion to adj
dress the Board OF Trade of the city Of Buffalo the
other day ndverted to the fact Of the remission of
taxation which we had accomplished in this state.
aludc the subject night because the Geographic
report, wonderfully accurate in the main stated
the reduction OF tho taxes to have been
only 81, 100000, whereas IL is over 81, 700 600
l desire 20 correct this error and make
known how much has been accomplished
in this respect product of tho increased valuation
will be brought into the Treasury unknown and
pectcd the time the tax bills enacted The valu-
alton is something like 5000 600 900 larger this year
than last, which will bring It TO about S12 100000 Tho
money will he surplus in the Treasury ut the
amount out of the remission of income IL
would be S15000,000, But tho appropriations have
been reduced to such an extent that there
will he a further surplus beyond that increase
sent to the legislative bodies who will cooperate in
the work of reform and carry the business of this
State economically, and we reduce the taxes from
Sc 100000, which they are, to 81 100000 perhaps
we have reduced them to So 10000 and can
continue still further to reduce them to
three two and half mills, until they are
low as they were before the late civil war. Fellow
citizens this is a matter of interest to you all

you had TO elect Assembly only this year you to
renew the whole Senate, the whole Assembly and
the whole Canal Board. all the Legislature and
the principal administrative bodies of the state. You
have therefore at the coming election the power TO work
a revolution in the administration of the canals
