OUTRAGEOUS TAXATION.

The present estimate is that 81 d.
OOO. 900 more than was necessary Tor
the demands of the Federal Govern
ment. extravagant as they were, were
collected from the people under the
internal revenue and tariff systems.
1t is simply impossible. upon any
ground. to defend the needless COL
lection of such a vast sum OF money
from the people Of the cou otry. Ex'
perience has shown, and has shown
for long time. that the taxes were
largely in excess of the real wants of
the government, but still the govern
ment goes on collecting them.
The accumulation then of such a
vast amount Of money in the public
treasury is proof indisputable of a
reckless disregard Of the necessities
of the people. Two facts are certain
1st, The money is there, and End,
there is no use for it.
Are the people willing to keep In
power a party that thus recklessly
oriads from their hard earnings such
vast sums of money? We think not.
Think for moment what a vast
sum $15O,OOO,OOO is. IF it were in
silver it would require $4,000 horses
and mules and wagons to haul it to
Raleigh, twice as many as there are
in all the county, and after it got
there no building could be found
fitted to hold it. Why there would
be enough of it, and more than enough
to lay a double row of silver dollars
along every railroad in the State ;
enough to lay a double row OF them
all around the State; being much
more than enough to buy every foot
of land in North Carolina at it's as.
sessed valuation.
Think Of it, North Carolina tax.
