Virginia's Burden.

A groat deal of angry feeling has
boon excited in Virginia by the
proposition to scale the public debt.
The finances of tho Old Dominion
are in wrctched condition. The
treasury is empty, and tho State
credit is said to be exhausted. Her
debt is set down at S;3O,OO0,0OO. If
State is over justified in repudi~
ating, Virginia has q good excuse
for thus ridding herself of her load.
Hor condition is duo to causes
other than her own conduct. In
tho first place, when tho Federal
government, during tho war, cut off
all the western portion of the State
and erected Wost Virginia, no por--
tion of the debt was transferred to
the new State. This was an act oftho
greatest injustice. Besides this,
for four years Virginia was battle
ground, and not only lost greatly in
population, but suffered fearful loss
IN oil her material interests Whole
regions wore devastated, so that
even "a crow in flying over the
country was compelled to carry his
rations with him."
Worse than that, by fur the great
or portion Of tho Federal internal
revenue is yaised from liquors and
tobacco, the latter being tho staple
crop OF tho Old Dominion. Statis-
tics show that every year Virginia
pays about $S,0OO,00O in internal
revenue tax, besides State and mr-
nicip"l taxation, paying twice as
much for tho support of tho Federal
government as all tho New Englar d
States put togethor. Since tho war
she has paid S6o,Oo0,O00 to the
Federal government, an amount
that would have liquidated her inn
mense debt twice over. No wonder
that Congressman Tucker has boen
making an earnest fight to reduce
the tax on tobacco and liquors.
Let the people of South Carolina
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1878-03-14

who think they are in deplorablo
plight imagine themselves saddIcd
with u debt Of thirty millions, and
paying, besides State and municipal
taxation, at least eight millions moro
directly to tho Federal government.
Then times would be hard. We
cannot blamo Virginia for desiring
to scale her debt.
