TEE TAX.


raj past legislatures to obtain a re-
peal of the double tax on mer-
chants. Two years ago such an
attempt was almost successful. The
bill passed the house, and we be-
lleve the senate, but not in time to
be signed by the governor. Those
who think it a hardship to pay a
poll tax or dog tax as a privilege,
do not seem to see anything wrong
ina merchant paying a double tax
on his business and capital. Those
who consent to this perhaps do not
reflect that the merchant is made u
sort of tax collector to indirectly
secure revenues from a class Of
people otherwise exempt. The
constitution exempts one thou
sand dollars from taxation, and a
great many people in this State
do not own or report any
more. Yet if they buy any
goods at all they are taxed through
the merchant, who, of course, tries
to protect himself by larger mar
gin of profits. Every bottle of
medicine, pound of sugar and coffee,
piece of calico, every hat, cooking
utensil or agricultural implement
bought is thus taxed, 1t has been
argued hat this is an imperceptible
tax, and that nobody feels it. The
drain on every community is never
theless the same in the course Of
the year, and it amounts to the
same at last, and the constitutional
exemption is nullifed to that ex-
tent. Besides, the merchant is
forced to become virtually a tax
gatherer, and is held responsible
for the amount as~certained by
an arbitrary rule whether
he collects or not. There are
few States in the Union be
sides Tennessee that have such a
law. 1t is a relic of Radical rule,
when a heavy hand was laid on all
the industries and commercial in
terests of the State. The merchant
should be taxed on his capital as
any other man, but there is no
reason found in sound public policy
or justice for imposing a double
tax. We notice in the proceedings
Of the house recently that Mr.. Pc
tiers has introduced a bill to repeal
the law, and we hope that our legis-
will give it a fair considera-
ton. There is no conflict Of inter
est between the farmer and mer-
chant, as some have supposed.
Their interests are mutual, and
one cannot be injured by I'M
wise legislation without injuring
both. Looking at the bottom facts
we see that the business of mer-
is essential to the well be-
ing and convenience of every coun-
ty and neighborhood. The peo-
pie might as well try to get along
without mills as without merchants.
Yet it has never been proposed to
tax mill property a double tax.
The merchant first pays the ordi-
nary ad valorem tax, State, county
and municipal, and all special
taxes. Then the State and most Of
the counties step in and demand a
privilege tax in addition equal to
the ad yalorem. When the subject
is properly brought to the attention
of the legislature We hope and be-
lieye this unfair mode of taxation
will be abolished and the statutes
made to conform to enlightened
and progressive principles.

The Associated Press never loses
an opportunity to show its political
sympathies in the present political
contest. It is about as partisan as
the eight Republicans on the cleo
toral commission. All the pretended
interpretations Of cipher kilograms
made by Radicals have been sent
over the wires. Some Of these in

never sent a cipher telegram or

This refutation, of course, receives
no attention at the hands of the
