The Tax Digest.

The tax digest of this county for the
present year. a copy of which we publish
this morning in another column, makes
some interesting showings in comparison
with the digest of other years. For
instance. only &C, 152 acres of land
of the 25S, 500 in the county are returned.
In 1852 the number of acres returned was
22l. $685.. The value of the land this year
is placed at $780,, 400. In 1852 it was
valued at S2,117,379. Surely the value
of the land of the county ought to
be as great now as it was
thlrtv-one years ago. In 1872
the valuation of all the property in the
county was SIS, 533, $50 90. In 1888 1t is
sl9.757.O77. There was, however, $4,000
600 in slave property in 1852, which we
have not now, but it must be remembered
much more than compehsaeigs ee or rRtat e tf 5ss
Of the slave property. In 1852 Jones street
was on the outskirts of the city, and the
valuation of city property was a little
over $4,000. GOO. The valuation of city
property now is SIC, 294,472. The cOnclu-
sion to be drawn from these figures is
that, notwithstanding the growth of the
city, either the property of the county is
very little more valuable to-day than it
was in 1852, or that property now is not
assessed at anywhere near its
real worth. The latter conclusion
is probably correct. The Receiver of
Tax Returns this year makes a better
showing than the Receiver last year did.
He shows an increase i'm valuation of
81, O92, $3.50 over the valuation of 1882. In
1882 there was a decrease of over $500, 900
as compared with 1881.

Federal Taxation.

Commissioner Evans reports to the
Secretary of the Treasury that the re
GENTS of the internal revenue during the
wear ended June Both last amounted to
S144. SOB, 1866. showing a decrease Of 81 ,S6S,-
9O7 as compared with the previous year.
Forty-two million dollars are taken OF
bv the new law, so that the receipts this
wear. other things being equal, will prob
ably foot up 500, 900, though they may
be larger.
No taxes are more easily raised than
these. and there is no good reason why
they should be abolished. True, the laws
governing their collection may be wisely
modified, but to the internal revenue sys-
TEN there can be no we'll founded objec-
ton. One hundred millions of revenue
thus derived would surely permit OF large
reductions in import duties, which are now
oppressivelv higher. From 1860 TO 1870 the
import duties yielded the enormous sum
of 81. 239, 45S, 442, or an annual average OF
1924 GOO. 900; and from 1870 to 1880 81 $685.
973,O44, or an annual average of $l56,0OO
600. These great sums have been wrung
from the people for the benefit of the pub
lie Treasury. But, when one thinks of
the millions that have been paid to the
beneficiaries of the tariff by reason of the
enhanced prices of their products, it is
not difficult to account for the increase of
millionaires and the growing poverty Of
the masses.
Now the Pennsylvania prOtectIonlsts
come forward and offer their scheme for
the distribution of the surplus revenue
among the States, in order that the i'm
port duties may remain unchanged. If
any evidence were wanted of the weak
ness of thecause of protection, this
scheme would furnish it. 1t is nothing
more nor less than an open attempt at
bribing the people to permit themselves
to be robbed for the benefit ofthe beneficial
ries of the tariff. The advocates of the
scheme confess that import duties can be
reduced almost to the extent of the yield
of internal revenue. Why not accept
their admission and do what they fear
will be done?
The people are not blind, and though
tariff reform may not be radically or
speedily effected, it cannot be long de-
layed. The people have learned much
about the great question of taxation that
they did not know in 1880, and every days
reflection adds to their enlightenment.

Senator Butler and German Immi-


The statement of Senator Butler, Of
South Carolina, in a speech few days
ago, that South Carolina could very well
spare two hundred thousand Of her negro
population to the Northern States, If their
places could be filed by as many German
immigrants, will. perhaps, meet win
favorable and unfayOTable comment III
different sections Of the South. AS la
borer. it is doubtful if the place OF the
negro could be filed. On the cotton and
sugar plantations. on the rivers and on
the leyees Of the cities he is unequaled.
OF course we are supposing that the Sena-
tor intended his remark to apply to other
Southern States as we'll as to South Caro-
lima. There are plenty of people who
honestly think that if the negroes were
10 leave the South the plantations would
grow up in weeds, and that commercial
activity would almost cease. A few
years ago, when immigration agents were
inducing the negroes of the lower Missis-
sippi valley to 20 to Kansas, there was
great outcry. No doubt there was a great
scarcity of labor. If two hundred thou
sand negroes were to leave South Carolina
this summer the planters would not be
able TO harvest their cotton and other
crops. If, however, the negroes were to
leave gradually and their places were to
be as gradually filled with Germans, the
inconvenience experienced would not be
so very great. We do not understand the
Senator to complain of the negro as
laborer. His idea is that the
South would advance more rapidly
in material prosperity if a very
much larger per cent. Of her pOpu-
Iation were white. The idea is no doubt
correct. As rule the negro spends all
he makes and does not exert himself to
earn rn.,re than enough to supply his i'm
mediate wants. He cares nothing about
the future, and. hence, does nothing to i'm
prove his surroundings. On the other
hand white men. particularly Germans,
strive to accumulate property. Begin
ming with little or nothing they
soon have a comfortable home. They
carve farms out OF the forest and make
the waste places productive. They in
crease the wealth Of a State by developing
its productive capacity. Two hundred
thousand Germans would be worth more
to South Carolina in five years than the
same number o. negroes would be in
twenty years. Senator Butler has no
doubt studied this natter thoroughly. He
sees that if his Safe is to make the
progress that is desired it must have
white immigration. H,w to secure that
kind of immigration is problem
that is not easily solved. One of the rea-
sons, and. perhaps, the principal reason,
why immigrants go West rather than
| south. is that they don't liketo go where
| the laborers are chiefly ngrOes. OF
course. in the present coalition of
things in the South, we couldn't
get along without tn ne
| asrOes. We should like to see large
per cent. of them, however, graualIy
| seek homes in the North and West phvid-
| ed their places were filled by the light
| kind of white immigrants. 1t will
