The Lynchburg Republican shows concIu

The Lynchburg Republican shows concIu-
slvely that by fostering and building up the
cities in the State our debt, which is looked
upon as so onerous, could soon be liquidated.
And the way to build up the cities is for the
country merchants and the farmers to trade
with them, instead Of going outside. Buy at
home those articles which can be obtained at
as cheap rates as elsewhere, and thus keep
within the State the large sums that are an
nually sent away, thereby not only depriying
US of capital, but preventing the progress of
manufactures, and driving away the mechanic
and artizan. In 1870 the total amount of tax
90 personal property in the State was $500,
0.78, of which four cities paid $65, sos SO !;
total collected on income SAL 1877. 46, paid by
same cities S25. 1874 35; total on real estate
81 ,507, 276.79, paid by same cities $l9l 1885,
SO total on licenses 5000, 79l. go, paid by same
cities $l0S,475.75. Thus four cities, which
contain about one-twetth of the population,
paid about one-sixth of the tax on personal
property, more than one-half of the tax on in-
come, one-eighth of the tax Oh real estate, and
nearly one-haf of the tax on licenses. Owing
to the aggregation of capital commercial and
mercantile enterprise, and manufacturing es-
Establishments IN cities pay much larger tax in
proportion to their population than any other
portions Of the community. Richmond, for
instance, while it contains less than one-twen-
tieth OF our population, pays about one ninth
OF the whole amount of taxes of the State.
The other cities pay 10 about like proportion.
Then let the cities be encouraged; let the coun-
try merchants buy at home, and they will find
that while they will make just as much money
themselves, at the same time they will be aid
ing in building up their State and adding to
her prosperity. Alexandria possesses peculiar
advantages, and her merchants, unsurpassed in
business capacity, liberality and all the quail
ties that 60 to make business men, will ever
be found willing and ready to accommodate all,
buying and selling on terms equal to those Of
fered elsewhere. Let our people but once get
out of the habit Of running off to the North for
everything they want and soon it will be found
that they can do just as we'll at home, while at
the same time they will be adding to the
wealth OF themselves, their neighbors and
friends, and advancing the interests of the
whole State. manufactures will spring up ;
there will be work for numberless idle hands to
do, and thrift and general prosperity will
speedily come.

According to the Tax Commissioners re-
port, personal property in New York city has
declined to the extent of S55 100000 since
1873, or at least, the assessments are that
much less than they were. The assessed valu-
alton of real estate is 1858 200, 900, against
1881 100000 for 1874 This increase must be
due to new buildings erected, for the commis-
sloners say that there are not, probably, more
than five blocks in the city which have not de-
cllned In value during the last few months
from Is to 25 per cent.

The project for union for commercial pur
poses between the American Changers aud the
English Cooperative Societies is progressing.
10 avoid the difficulty of direct union between
TWO associations, one Of which is a secret or
ganization, and the other open, it is proposed
to form trading company with a capital of
twenty-five millions of dollars and having
branches 10 both countries. The scheme is
very comprehensive In its details, embracing
the purchase of ships and the building of man
utactories and warehouses, and general en-
gagement in the whole business of tra6c and
manufacturing in the products of the soil and
industry. An American will be sent to Eng
land to watch the interests of the grange braisch,
and an Englishman to America to watch the
interests Of the co-operators, while an Engish-
man, already chosen, who has been in the coun-
try twenty three years, will be managing direc-
tor. A committee report is to be made on the
scheme to-day to the Executive Committee OF
the National Grange, now in session at Wash
lngton.

The death of Capt. Charles G. Dandridge
son of Mr.. Philip cambridge, of Winchester,
and nephew Of Hon. R. NJ. T. Hunter, has
heretofore been noticed in the Gazette. He
died suddenly on Monday last at Portsmouth,
Ohio, where he was engaged in getting up
subscriptions to the railroad 10 contemplation
between Portsmouth, Ironton and Huntington.
Though only thirty years Of age, he had held
the position of division engineer in the con-
struction of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
and was for time chief engineer of the Mar
row Gauge railroad. He was a young man of
extraordinary promise, and was most highly es-
teemed by all who knew him.

The frequent attacks upon Alexandria and
the attempt to decry the city and its merchants,
and. to divert the trade of that section by the
Culpeper Observer, is unwarranted and unjust
and while our people have not the slightest OBJ
lection to seeing Fredericksburg get all the
trade it can, and will DO delighted to see that
place grow and prosper, yet to undertake to
iDjure Alexandria, in the attempt, can only be
productive OF harm. That there may be times
when aoheat may command higher figures at
the mills in Fredericksburg than here is not
denied, but that the market of that place for
grain, IN general, will compare with that of this
CITY, let the daily prices current attest. 10 the
FIRST place the amount Of grain received here
would be far in excess Of that required 10 Fred
ericksburg, that place not being shipping
port, IN the true acceptaton of the term, aud
consequently the market being glutted prices
would necessarily fall thus directly iuacting
an injury on the farmer, who, In following the
advice of the Observer, had shipped bis crop
there. We do not desire 10 any way to detract
from Fredericksburg, and are willing and anx-
Gus that it should have all the trade that it can
accommodate, but that her market is as good
as that of Alexandria we must be permitted to
doubt. However, the farmers are very apt to
find out for themselves when their interest is
so nearly concerned, and will very likely consult
the quotations in each market before shipping.
AS to farmers being able to purchase supplies
in Fredericksburg, or elsewhere, cheaper than 10
Alexandria we arc not prepared to admit,
knowing that our merchants being brought
continually into direct competition with Balti
more, are ever ready to sell at rates as low as
can be afforded, and that their motto being
''quck sales and small profits" they do sell
to,o While upholding Alexandria as one of
the best markets in the country, We do not de-
sire to iDjure the prospects of any other place,
and at the same time we want to see the farmer
get the very best prices he can for all of his
products, knowing full we'll that when agrlcu-
ture prospers the whole community feels the
benefit. In this connection we believe that a
trial will prove Alexandria, the Observer to the
contrary Notwithstanding, to be about the best
market 10 the State, all things considered. At
any rate We hope the farmers of Culpeper and
Rappahannock, who have not heretofore found
this out by experience, will, before buying or
selling elsewhere, try the Alexandria market.

In speaking of the speech of Col. j. S. Pres
ton, of South Carolina, delivered at the Uni
versity celebration last week, the Lynchburg
Republican says "At such time, on such an
occasion, and before such au audience, it does
seem to us that political strifes and sectional
animosities should have been laid aside and
forgotten, and the occasion devoted to the more
pleasing task Of healing up former dissensions
and cultivating those charming social virtues
kindness, hospitality and fraternity" In this
connection it may be stated that the speech OF
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, was in marked
contrast with that Of COL Preston, the latter
breathing nothing but goodwill and fraterna
feeling.
