TAY PEDTCTTON

The new bill for reduction of the internal reve-
nue., which Mr.. Kelley was instructed on Tues
day by the Ways and Means Committee to re-
port at an early day, is altogether less objec-
tionable than the one which was prepared some
time ago by subcommittee. 1t removes en-
trely the stamp tax now paid on bank checks,
orders and vouchers, an inconvenient and vex-
atious tax which yielded last year only
S2253411. 1t abOlishes the tax on capital and
deposits of national and other banks and
bankers, though the abatement will not take
effect Immediately in the case of national banks.
This tax yielded last year, from national banks
S5.37l,173, and from other banks and bankers
which yielded last year $3,27S,5S0, and has
become a means of maintaining a burdensome
monopoly. 1t also aboishes the tax on pro-
prietary medicines, perfumery, and other arti-
Giles embraced in Schedule "a remnant of
the war taxes imposed in time of great public
need-whch yielded last year S2,226OOO. AS
to these taxes which yielded in all l6,S92,317
last year there is little room for dispute among
intelligent men. They are unnecessary and
offensive relics of the war. Imposed when it
was deemed necessary to subject almost every
interest and industry to taxation, i'll order that
all might be compelled to bear some part OF the
enormous national burden, they have been
retained to this day through sheer Incidence,
ignorance or prejudice. The Government can
well spare the revenue which they bring in,
and it can hardly abate taxation i'll any other
direction with greater benefit to the people as
whole.
The bill also provides for reduction of
taxes on manufacturers and wholesale and re-
tail sellers of liquors and tobacco, and on cigars
and cigarettes 1t is estimated that the reduc
ton III the tobacco tax will amount to
81, 666, 900, and the reduction in taxes on man
ufacturers and dealers to So, $50, 406. The ex-
pedency of these reductions will be questioned,
in part on the ground that the benefit will not

lSOTTHERN EDTC1TLON

Fifteen millions a year for ter years Is the
modest sum demanded now OF Congress by
Southern members for education in their sec
ton. Senator Logan's bill hands over the en-
tire receipts from the tax on whiskey to public
education, dividing the money among the
States according to population and the degree
of illiteracy.
There is n rough sort of poetic justice in this
turning over the profits of drunkenness to its
prevention, which will be apt to tickle the
public fancy. But there are one or two things
to be said against it. In the first place, it is
not a fact that education alone insures sObrety
or any other kind of morality, either in an in
dividual or a community. Actual statistics
show that the large majority of the inmates of
our State prisons are able to read and write,
and the States which stand highest in the num-
Der and efficiency of their schools, public and
private, carry the largest criminal class. II
fifteen millions year spent in establishing
public schools in any district would be a sure
prescription for making the population of that
district honest sober, industrious and self-re-
specting it would be cheap cure for all our
National shortcomings, ami the Nation could
we'll afford to pay for it, But it does no such
thing. Teach rogue to read and write, and
you only put finer tools for roguery in his
hands, as every man familiar with the parallel
records of education and crime in this or any
other country will tell you. A free education
is an enormous help to a people when it is
based upon energetic and industrious habits of
life, and demanded by such habits; but the
philanthropist who thinks that by only building
public school in an idle, sOdden, degraded
community, and forcing the children into it, he
will raise that community to activity and
morality. will soon find his mistake.
Secondly, IL town or State that does not
want education will not be benefited by it. when
thrust upon it gratutousy, but only will be
50 far pauperized. The poorer white popula-
ton of the South give very little evidence of
any anxiety for education; the schools which
have been established among them are almost
all due to Northern beuevoence or to the
energy of some individual Northerner who has
cast i'll his lot with them. The negroes are
ready and willing to be taught, just as are the
Indians in the West, because they feel them
selves inferior to the ruling class and are en- ger
to repair the deficiency aud to bridge over the
gulf between them. But the poog white OF tho

branches of business can well afford to pay the
taxes now levied. But it may be said, III JUS
tice to the committee, that these are also essen
TALLY war taxes, and that the Government no
longer needs the revenue. Whether the con-
sumers profit by the reduction Is matter be-
tween them and the manufacturers and dealers I;
if q corresponding reduction of retail prices Is
generally demanded, it will certainly be made.
II is q more important question whether these
changes will in any respect impair the eilclency
of the remaining tax on manufactured liquors
and tobacco, but the committee has undouDt-
edly considered the matter with care. Inc
bill as it comes from the committee is so meri'
torious in many important respects that there
will probably be little disposition among those
who approve its chief objects to endanger It's
success by controversy about minor details
A principal objection to the bill formerly
prepared was that il would have reduced the
revenue too much. The moderate redlctlon
now proposed is not open to the same Objection
Some surplus of revenue the Government ought
to retain. Especially when calculations are
made upon the returns of year of unprece-
dented and extraordinary prosperity, common
prudence requires that large allowance should
be made for the decline which any general de-
pressicn of business would naturally cause. II
Congress does not appropriate money too reck-
lessly, the Treasury can we'll spare as large
sum as the proposed bill would cut off from the
revenue, and would still have reasonable
margin for emergencies.

South. by virtue of having been raised along
side of race placed below him by birth and
social law, is conscious of no deficiency IN
himself. The most miserable clay-eater IN
Georgia holds himself as an equal of any
Yankee that ever was born.
1t is not by spending millions on the cduca-
ton of these people, or by any other kind Of
almsgiving, that they will be brought into the
ranks of energetic, useful workers in the
world; but by the introduction of Northern
capital, manufactures, modes OF working and
living into the South. When these people are
made to see what they lack, they will them
selves try to get it. A drunken old fellow,
coming back to his native village after trip to
the Centennial, looked around the drowsy,
grass-g grown streets. "'Tain't schools we need,
"nor preachers" he said; I" it's a hundred or two
Northern mechanics and farmers to show us
show to live" The remark covered the whole
Southern problem. 1t is only leaven that is
needed but the leaven of public schools will
not suffice.
