I From the Lewiston Journa

The Lincoln county democratic conven-
tion. among other resolutions passed one
calling for an explanation from the repub-
lean party AS to ''Iiow it happened that
"since it has been in power such mon
"strous inequalities should have crept in
"to our system Of taxation, one glaring
"evidence Of which is the fact that the
'rcal estate Of the people of Maine pays
"about two-thirds of ali the taxes, while
personal property substantially escapes"
Undoubtedly il is true that real estate
outside of wild land in unincorpo rated
places pays more than its fair proportion
of the taxes in this State, as well as in
every other State This is well under
stood fact, and it is no more fact exist.
ing to-day than it did ten, twenty, or thir
ty years since--ao more under republican
rule than under democratic rule. In his
recent papers on taxation, that eminent
democrat, David A. Wells dscOurs ed al
considerable length on the evident inc
quality of taxation in this respect in The
democratic States of Connecticut and New
York; and took the ground that it is utter
ly impossible for purposes of taxation, to
reach personal property which generally
exists in an intangible form, as for exam
pie in currency and bonds and that the
effort should be given up, and all taftS
assessed on real estate, in the expectation
that such taxation would ultimately equal
ize itself.
While we totally disagree with Mr..
Wells remedy yet all must admit the fact
that it is utterly impossible for any laws or
any assessors to reach Intangible property
as generally as tangible property can be
reached. This was as true twenty years
ago as it is to-day. Property that can be
seen, like farms, houses, mills. shops,
stocks, merchandise, &c, may be all
reached for purposes of taxation; but
property that cannot be seen, will inevi-
tably escape taxation to a certain extent.
And there is no human remedy for the in
equality When men shall become honest
and truthful il. rendering statement Of
Ithuir taxable property the inequality in
taxation can be remedied; and not till
then. For a democratic convention to
gravcly charge that an inequality which
arises from causes beyond the control of
government, is due to republican rule, is
to underestimate popular intelligence.
so far as inequalities Of taxation can be
reached by legislation, the republicans of
Maine have within few years done more
to correct the evil, than had been previ-
ously done for quarter OF century.
Deposits in Savings Banks. which practi-
cally paid no tax twenty years since,

Daily Kennebec journal., 1875-09-08


Senator Morton made the following cl-
o1ucnt and truthful reference TO the Cen
tcnnial and the republican party in a lase
speech.
The celebration of The centenary of TIE Decla-
ration of Indcdendcnce on the Fourth of July
1876 will be peculiarly grateful to the members
OF the republican party. That party had it OF gin
| and development in the immortal principles OF
that instrument, and to its hands. under divine
providence, was committed their final accomplish
mcnt TIE declaration that all men are created
equal that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain nalenable rights; that among these
are life, liberty and pursuit OF happiness that to
secure these rights, governm' nts are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent OF the governed, Is the cornerstone OF the
republican party it is the grand platform upon which
we stand to day, upon which the mon has been
preserved and slavery Abolished and the political
and civil q ality of all meu before the law c-tab
lished. 1t embodies the principles OF civil add re-
ligious liberty upon which our government, after
| nearly one hundred wears, now stands triumphant
and which have been impressed to greater or
less degree upon the civilized governments in the
world, by whatever name called. In its first SeD-
tence 1t proClams the grand fact of the national
| unity by describing the inhabitants of the thir
teen coon as one people about to dissolve the po-
| htical bands which have connected them with each
| another, and TO assume among the powers OF the
earth the separate and equal station to which the
| laws Of nature and of natures God entile them.
The existence OF the nation thus asserted in the be-
ginning is a grand fundamental fact in the creed
OF the Republican party, denied for a long time in
some ofthc States, crushed to earth by the rebellion
urrected in blood to live forever, trust, in
the hearts of The people The declaration is the
rock upon which our political church is built, and
the gates Of hell shall not prevail against it. 1t is
the gospel of human liberty; the grand platform
upon VIII ich all others should be built. While
ole party claims descent from Hamilton and an
other from Jackson, it is the proud privilege Of
the II publican party to claim for its ancestry the
fathers OF the Revolution, and their first declara-
ton Of principles for its platform.

PR0SPEEITY or THk STATE.
Most OF people think that when their in
dividual savings increase, or when the
savings of community increase, pros
peritv is indicated But according to the
Argus it signifies the reverse of prosperity
The Argus is forced to this conclusion in
order 10 reconcile IFS oft repeated state
ment that the country is becoming poorer
AID poorer and fast going to the dogs
with the fact that the accumulations in
Savings Banks are largely on the in
crease. Ii is not true as the
Argus states that money deposited in
Savings Banks is Withdrawn from the
channels of business. On the contrary
the Savings Banks must keep it in use and
do invest it at once in order to make it
earn the interest which they agree to pay
depositors. A large amount which goes
into Savings Banks would if not deposited
in these institutions lie secreted in old
stockings and chests, perfectly idle and
useless to the community. Being depos-
tied in the banks these boards go into
the channels ofactive business. We have
not only TEN TIMES as much money
deposited in the Savings Banks now as
when the democracy were in power in
the State, but the rate Of interest paid
NOW is LARGER than it was THEN,
which conld not be possible if the deposi-
its were not invested in business.
| In DEMOCRATIC TIMES our Savings Banks
paid but FOUR PER CENT interest to de-
positors, whereas AT THE PRESENT TINE
they pay SIX PER CENT and an annual
tax to the State Of about $4,000

1t WAS n matter OF general regret

more than our hosts. But the seats
