The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-06-21

The Memphis Appeal Of last Tues
day has an able reply to Q cOrrespon.
dent who takes ground against free
schools. Wegive an extract for the
benefit of dissenters in this section, and
hope they will read and ponder care
fully. 1t is simply the truth.
When the property IF o State. in
pursuance Of law and by the win of
the people. is taxed to supporsschools
for all. il is not charity on the part of
the rich; it is not aims received by
the poor, but Il is q duty which prop
erty fulfiIls and a right which belongs
absolutely to the uneducsted children
The rights of propertyaresacred, and
they are wen guarded by lsws. but
the right Of tina poor mans child 10
20 to school is In allrespectsas sacred.
If q man asks why his property should
be taxed TO support schools for other
meas children, Bet him be answered
that the property ef the 6tate must
support the State, and that Q weA reg.
ulated system Of scheols, in these
modern days Of civilimtion, attaches
as q necessary fsature 70 every civil
med government. Whep tbs reve>
nues Of Q state, including school mon
ey, are raised byFa tan onsseai sud
personal property, the TAX is mot ppid
altogether BY the holders Of such tan.
ed property. When house is taxed,
the tenant may pay no tax, but he
must help his landlord paS for inter.
est, insurance, repairs and taxes; He
who frequents public ssaleon ;lslps
to pay the psopresor's licenss and tax.
He who buys q steak IN, the market
contributes b pay the renfof s4hs
butchers stall. He who lodges in .
taxed hotel paysa part Of the tax. on
the building The citiseRcannot buy
an article for his family, or sst,ftom
dish on his table; without. paying
more or less tax. The 'plowman,
hired to till taxed farm, feels the
tax in bis monthly pay And thus
downward, through every grade, those
who consume pay share Of tax, and
those who earn money suffer loss in
consequence Of taxes.'" Thus all
classes help 10 support schools, or
those who uork for wages; or pay for
what they eat and wear. The Press-
ure may not be absolutely equal and
uniform, but It ID very nearly accord
ing 10 what each -cifisen can bear.
The hariship 10 the poor consumer
and laboser, however lsuch concealed
from him, ID greater than Il il upon
the weI4lthy propeietor. who pays over
10 the txx-gstherer bis disscf tEibute.
Hence the error Of supposisg that the
cost Of public schools fhlls finally and
solely ON the holdsss Of taxable prop.

An the roads in this section have
been repaired and are now running
regular trains.
Trains run from Nashville b New
York, via the Louisville road, in
thirty-Sour hours and eve minutes.
A box CIR sttached 10 Q freight
train on the Central road broke down
two miles south Of here last Monday,
delaying the north-bounde evening pas
senger train short while.
The gross earnings of the L. d n.
q g. 8. r Il. for the mouth of May
were s3S2, ,574.22; for the same time
last year they were $3.50. .S42; IN
crease. s22, ,232.22. A good showing
for hard times.
By the recent adjustment Of sched.
ules the Louisville line makes the un.
prscedented time Of 80 hsurs aud 10
minutes between New Orleans and
New York. with corresponding time
TO the other cities.
We know that our friend, Col. Ty-
gard, of the L. q n. road, ID happy
now: We see from an account of .
baby show at Hot Springs recently
that his little angel. Stella, took the
medal as the handsomest on exhibi-
ton. 1t Is said TO be q perfect
beauty.
At hast We are able TO give some
thing definite as 10 theconductors who
will run on this division of the L. d
N. road. For two weeks everybody
outside has been in the dark, snd con-
siderable uneasiness has been felt.
1t seems we were mistaken when
we announced last week that Capt.
Hutcherson had been transferred 10
the main stem. Our information was
from q source that we considered semi
official. However. we are happy TO
announce that he win remain on this
division, and the travelling public all
along the line win congratulate them
selves and the company. He has
done much for the road and for the
comfort of the people along the line.
Messrs Joseph Browning and j. s.
Robinson, from the main stem. and
Capt. John Travis. from the middle
division, all railroad men Of long ex.
perience and genial. popular gentles
men, win also run regularly on this
division. We hope our people viii
receive them kindly. and believe they
win soon be greasfavorites along the
line. Mr. bnksnbill. inspector Of
agencies, 10 running 9 train tempOE..
arily here. Capt. Jones and Mr. Mo-
Carthy. both splendid railroad men,
and very popular. have resigned. We
regret to learn. We hope both may
soon be again on the road. We shall
miss them.
