THE GAZETTE, as is we'll known 10 al! its
constant readers, has for gears reiterated
the statement that the natural facilities for
manufacturing possessed by the South are
so superior to those of the North, that were
the tariff abolished, the manufacturers OF
the latter section would be compelled to
move their plants to the former, and avail
themselves of those facilities in order to be
able to compete successfully With their for
eign rivals. That such would be the result
of the removal of the duty on many of the
prime necessaries of life the GAZETTE is con-
WINGED, and it is glad to see that this correct
view of the case is also entertained by such
an able and influential newspaper as the Bal
timore Sun, which, in respect of the subject
referred to, speaks as follows:
MANY articles arc made now in tho North
solely because the tariff makes it profitable TO
people to manufacture them there under unfavor-
able natural conditions. Take the tariff away
and the manufacturers would troop to the South,
where the conditions are more favorable for GER
tain large departments of manufacturing industry
than they are in the North or in England. The
high tariff is, therefore, the best possible instrn-
ment for delaying the industrial development of
the South"

A LARGE majority of the liquor dealers,
and all except one of the real estate agents
in Richmond, have paid their State taxes
with coupons. the face value of the amount
80 received aggregating so 500. In the
Corporation Court of this city, yesterday,
coupon suits to the amount of over ten thou
sand dollars were decided against the Com.
monweslth. Aud so it is, and must be,
every whore else in the State. But where is
the equity, or even the common sepse, of
compelling the poor man, whose tax bills
are small, and who can not afford the luxu-
ry of law suit, to pay his taxes with cur.
rent money, and allowing the liquor deal
ers and rich men to pay theirs with coupons,
which they can buy from the brokers at half
their face value. Yet such partiality and
gross Injustice are not Only allowed, but in-
cited by the existing laws of the State, and
are sustained by the Constitution of the
country. as rightly expounded by the U. S.
Supreme Court. As the coupons must be
received for taxes under the decision of the
highest court of the land. the poor man
should be allowed to pay his taxes with
them, as we'll as bis richer neighbor.
