TdEing Church PROPERTY.

The New York Times, one of the lead
ing Republican papers, which has recent
ly became very obnoxious TO Grant and
the Administration, because of its de-
nunciation of the third Germ, and several
Irregularities in Cabinet officers, on the
receipt of the Message 1T once question
ed the propriety of taxing church prop
erty, and said the President had entirely
over estimated its velue. Subsequent
research shows the truth OF this remark.
1t now appears from statement in the
kesc York Herald, of the 9Th instant. that
the value of church property is only 1884,
ass, ,5Sl, instead of about 81 ,000. 200, 900"
as Grant represents it in his message
show that he is not TO be depended upon.
In former times the Presidents were
scrupulously careful to be correct in all
their statistical statements. Grant is too
much occupied with horses and cigars to
make research. The amount of church
property held by the several denomina-
tions, is furnished in the following table,
which shows the sum total to be as
above, and that the amount held by the
Methodists is largely in excess of the
property owned by any other denolnina-
tion:
Methooists .. ....... $69, ,S54, ,12l
Roman Catholics. .......... &C, ,9S5 $50
sbyterians. ............. 1925, ,256
Baptists ...................... Al 6 S,l9S
Epl5copRlians ns....................... So, ,5l4 54g
Congregationalists ...... .....,.. 25,069 SOS
Reformed Church. ................ l6,l34, FAC
Lutherans ........................... l4,9l7,7f7
The remaining SIS, ,000,oo0 being dis.
tributed between seventeen other de.
nominations.
1t is quite evident Grant did not know
the state Of the case. 1t might be 1igh,
to tax church editices costing over Ger
tain limit; but this, if done should be more
for restraint than for revenue. And il
is doubtful e1pedient at best. How
would our friends Of Grace church, oI
West church, or the church OF the SacreC
Heart, like to be taxedf We think oul
people would object to our State ta1in.
