wrberin to see. through glass darkly,
,,n were the possible explanation Of the
,,,,ose Of our senior Senator in offering
,sr resolution ION which he proposes to
sr-,k in regard to betterment OF the
,,6cql,ural interests of the country. 1t
-, suggested in New York the other day
,br r",he wisest man in the country should
+. in the Cabinet OF the President as a
Minister Of Agriculture" Now If there Is
,Gus to be q change in 1880, land Senator
Hsnry is no doubt persuaded that there
III be, it is time that some body should
!. reening in the pickle for this new posi-
,jo5 in the next Cabinet. Now is the time,
therefore, to open out on the subject Of
,sricu,ure. Horace Greeley once told the
,orId what he knew about farming, and
ys afterwards nominated for the Presi-
,lspey, and it is only following in the line
Of lilIusrious precedent for our Senator to
1ein his place and let the country know
,ba, he is the man to rlay the role Of Gin
rinns;us in the next Administration.

to mark on his bank book ain greenbacks,
and thus evades paying taxes, and com
mits perjury.
"Yn Is an incorporated bank, with 4
capital OF $40 600, makes q statement tha
the average amount Of all deposits, ae
counts PAYABLE, ETC., is equal 70 the
amount OF all notes and bills receivable
and therefore the capital OF the bank il
kept in non.taxable securities, and moi
taxable.
~" is a National Bank, with capitalo o.
$4,000. It has judiciously managed, and
its stock is worth premium Of 10 per cent
The law is exRcting that 1t must list FOL
taxation at the true value OF its stock,
and it is therefore taxed on $4,000.
The above are but a few OF the incon'
gruities Of our present tax law.
INEQUALITY OF TAXATION. ..
Experience has unmistakably proven
that the realty Of this city is most wretch.
edly and unjustly assessed As before
stated, this board has considered numer.
Gus complaints OF this nature. We verify
believe that under proper anc just valu-
alton OF real estate, q just license OF in.
come tax, and all personally exemated,
the levy-f6r State, municipal and county
governments would not much exceed /
per cent Why should the manufacturer
pay taxes upon his machinery or the
merchant upon his credits any more than
the professional man upon his business?
The enactment of q tax law that would
cause all real estate, either in the hands
OF individuals or sects, to be placed upon
the duplicate excepting thatowned by the
county, State, or general government at
two thirds its value, ,andimproved property
upon It's productive value, license upon
all vehicles used for profit, limited tax
on all purchases for resale, and a small
income tax upon all revenue from what
ever source, would, collectively, afford
ample revenue for all municipal purposes,
and causes all classes and persons TO bear
their Just proportion OF the public burden,
and may be the means OF doing away with
many OF the inquisitorial boards now used
for the more thorough collection OF taxes.
That totally new departure in the matter
OF collecting and assessing our taxes is
absolutely necessary we feel it our duty to
declare, and would respectfully urge your
Honorable Board to take energetic and
prompt action to bring about such changes
in the tax laws as will effect such new
departure. lE

equivalent Is required. A tax on real pro.
perty Is not open to these objections.
Whenever the laws seek (by the present
SYSTEM to tax land and personally with
equality, thegeneral results that land pays
much the greater proportion OF tax, be-
cause this can all be reached and all taxed,
No inquisitorial proceedings are required
10 discover 1t, and no frauds or evasions
can conceal from view. These, and other
reasons have led some political economists
TO advocate the omission Of personally
from the customary taxation by value, and
the raising OF the ordinary revenue by a
tax laid exclusively on realty. Such tax,
1t is claimed, while nominally falling upon
few, would, in fact, be difused through
the whole community, and collected from
all by being added to the price OF what
is produced and distributed by the class
taxed, just as We have Jound that tax
upon any common article OF consumption
is paid in the end by the consumer"
While, however, this is subject for
State legislative action we have deemed ii
not improper TO engraft in our report the
foregoing observations.
There is, 1t must be admitted, wide room
for improvement in the law relating TO the
taxation Of personal property in Ohio, and
the Statesman may be yet unborn who
shall succeed in rectifying its errors and
supplying its deficiencies. As some one
has said, the law seems TO have been framed
in the spirit OF Donnybrook Fair-"when.
ever you see head tax it," and not the
least care is taken whether the head that
receives the punishment deserves it, or the
many that escape. The raising OF the
revenue Partakes of the character Of brig
andage, those who are weak and unable to
fly, being compelled TO stand and deliv-
er," while those who are able to depart or
resist go free.

THE COTTON TRADE.
November Report of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange.


Cotton Exchange. '
NEw ORLEANS, December 9.-Louisiana
Our report is compiled from thirty-eight
replies received from twenty.four parishes,
bearing dates from November 2sth to De-
cember 4th. The weather has been much
more favorable than for the same period
last year. The picking has progressed
finely, and about seven-eighths Of the
crop Is gathered. II is estimated the pick
ing will be completed by the 18th OF De-
cember. The yield in the river parishes
is estimated at about % per cent less than
last year, while in other portions OF the
State there has been an average increase OF
about Is per cent. About GO per cent OF
the crop has been marketed, There has
been universal complaint that seed cotton
this year yields much less lint than usual.
Aiississippi-We have 5S replies, cover
ing twenty-five counties, average to date
November 18th: The weather for Novem-
ber was much more favorable than during
the same month last year. The picking
has progressed quite rapidly, and will be
completed by the Goth OF December. The
yield compared with that OF last year is re-
ported tobe about one-third less. About
one.haIf Of the crop has been marketed.
Our correspondents in this State, general
" agree that the comparative yield OF lint
TO seed cotton is much less than the
average OF any previous year.
Arkansas-Twenty-six answers have
been received from IS counties the aver.
age date December Tth. The weather
during the month has been universally
favorable for gathering the crop, more so
than for the same time last year. 75per
cent OF the cropha been gathered and it
Is estimated that the remainder will be
picked by December %. In the counties
Of Jefferson, Nevada, ouachita, Pulaski
and Howard, the yield is reported about
the same us last year, while in the rest OF
the State there has been an average de-
crease OF about 25 per cent. About one
half OF the crop has been marketed. Com
plants mentioned in the reports from
Mississippi and Louisiana relative to the
small yield OF lint compared with seed
cotton are reiterated by most OF our Ar
kansas correspondents.
Estimates from all the States are based
upon the same acreage as last year.
