DOUBLE TAXATION.

It is instructive, if not encouraging, to
notice the gradations through which the
legislative mind is passing, on its way to
the conviction that double taxation is
Just and desirable thing. It cannot be
said that the debates on this subject have
thrown much new light upon it. The
truth seems to be that the majority
have been endeavoring quite as
much to persuade themselves as their au-
ditors At the beginning it was alleged
by the advocates of double taxation that
their plan did not involve anything of the
kind That position, however, was found
untenable shortly, and then brilliant
idea was advanced, to the effect that
though double taxation of persons was
wrong, double taxation of property was
entirely justifable. This is the latest dis
covery in fiscal science achieved by our
amateur economists, and we are compelled
to say that it is altogether worthy of the
! discussion it so fifty crowns. 1t is some
thing gained, perhaps, to have obliged
the advocates of the new Constitu-
ton to abandon their original posi-
tions, and it may be of some In
terest to put on record the changes
their opinions have undergone. When
the new Constitution was before the people
for consideration, its supporters stoutly
maintained that double taxation was not
possible under it. a San Francisco paper
which then defended the instrument
through thick and thin, said at that time
that to tax credits twice, as once to the
depositors in bank. and then again to the
corporation, "would be unequal, unjust,
ridiculous, and clearly unconstitutional.
Volney E. Howard, another sturdy cham
pion of the new Constitution, declared
that double taxation is impossible here
latter if the new Constitution shall be
adopted" Yesterday the San Francisco
paper already cited, observed in an article
on this subject "The plain truth is, that
Gin order to subject all taxable property to
''i its fair share of the burden of supporting
g the Government, a system which has
some SembIance of double taxation must
''of necessity be adopted" Here we
have the new light which has re-
Gently dawned upon our legislators, very
plainly reflected. At first there was
to be no double taxation. The idea
that anything of the sort was involved in
the new Constitution was all mistake, or
malignant misrepresentation. The in
justice of double taxation was frankly
conceded, because it was notorious that the
Constitution would have been beaten ten
to one had the people believed that it en-
tailed so gross an injustice. But now
that the instrument is adopted, and the
people cannot help themselves, the DISPOSE
ton to repudiate any intention of i'm
posing double taxation gradually vanishes,
and after sufficient course of sophistry
the public are gravely informed that,
though undoubtedly there will be double
taxation under the new Constitution, yet
it is impossible to frame any really good
system of taxation without including that
principle in it.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Perhaps, in the light of
the inquiry made in your Issue of to-day
touching Garibaldi, few words relative
to his life at the epoch mentioned by one
in whose family he was a constant visitor,
and who has had The honor Of close int{-
macy with him, may not be amiss.
At the ti11e mentioned Garibaldi was not
only in need Of pecuniary assistance, but in
absolute want, and, with the pride and indie
pendence so Characteristic Of the man, ne
spurned every offer of help made by we'll
meaning friends, and finally he procured

mementoes Of the great man are still kept.
Mfr. Mencci himself, if not a "noted charac-
teri man Of great inventive genius;
Beside the paraffine, he discovered a most
valuable method Of manufacturing paper
submitted the first practical design for the
elevated-railway system in New York, and at
this time he is engaged in experiments which
may aid an earlier solution Of the electric

1t was not very long ago visited Garlbaldi

unlike many others, his is an influence which
will be most powerfully felt after he has

PLOW MANUFACTURERS.

They Determine to Advance Prices Ten
Per Cent.
For three days past the plow manufactur-
ers Of the Northwest have been in session in
Parlor Of the Grand Pacific Hotel, for the
purpose Of forming combination to prevent
the ruinous selling rates to dealers which
have prevailed for some years past, and at
Q O'Clock yesterday they came to conciu-
sion and succeeded in forming an Associa-
ton. The attendance has been large, repre-
senting all the leading manufacturers, in

H. fEllE, VI OCEIG t0., was elected
President, and Ira u. Clifford, of the Dayen-
port P1ow Company, Secretary and Treasurer.
Mr: Clifford, by the way, IS a gentleman
we'll known in this city, having been
formerly iii the forwarding and com
mission business on the Board Of Trade. The
Association considered the continued adj
vance in the material which goes into the
manufacture 0f plows, and Concluded, for
the protection Of themselves and their Gus
toners, to agree upon an uniform scale Of
prices. Two previous meetings had been
held looking to this end, the first at Moline
and the second at Rock Island. At these it
was discussed how to avoid a combination,
but iron and steel kept advancing, while all
were selling plows at less than it cost to make
them: During the session at the Grand Pa
ciflc Hotel iron went up 81 per ton, and it was
then that the manufacturers concluded that
they must have harmony in order to
succeed. The advance agreed upon Is slight,
being but 10 per cent. On all single-shin
plows the raise is 50 cents on all of ten inches
and upwards, and a proportionate advance
on doub1e-shin medium Landslide plows, On
wood-beam cultivatdrs there was an advance
of S3 decided upon, and like raise on iron
beam. Fourteen-inch sulky plows were adj
yanced S5 each, and sixteen-inch &c. These
were all the advances made, and an agree
ment was drawn up and signed BY all pres
ent embodylng the above facts. It was de-
termlned to meet again in this city at the
Grand Pacific Hotel, Feb. 10, when the organ
lzatlon Of the Association will be completed.
The headquarters will be located at Dayen-
mort. In
