Use THE STATIETICS.

When the Republicans get to wsving
the bloody shirt Gas they are sure to do)
In the campaign this year and telling Of
the wretched, deplorable condition of the
negro in the southern states, Democrats
should be provided with some statistics
recently compiled and published by the
Comptroller Of the state Of Georgia,
showing the progress Of material pros
perity in that state, IS applying to the
colored race. The Georgia negroes, It
appears, render for taxes property worth
SO, 900, 900, as against So. 900, 900 worth
rendered by them in 1879. This shows
an average rate Of increase amounting to
10 per cent. per annum, while in the same
period the white taxpayers OF the state
have averaged an increase Of only per
cent. year. In other words, the negro,
In proportion to his holdings, has out
stripped the white man and has done far
better. Could such state of Affairs exist
in Georgia, or any community, II the ne
groes there did not enjoy equal advsnt-
ages with other citizsns in the possession
Of all rights and privileges that
90 to make up truly valuable
status Of citizenship? The answer
Is thst they could not. And what is true
Of Georgia is, to great extent, true Of
many other southern states. The degree
Of prosperity achieved by the negro may
be greater in Georgia than elsewhere, but
everywhere in the south the negro is
prospecting, in that he is accommodating
property and making his condition COM
Portable. The statistics Of taxation aud
the money expended for public education
in every southern state is the most effsc-
tive reply that can be made to the charges
Of the Republicans when they sllege that
Democracy does not give the southern |
negro fair chance. Let the campaign |
orators on the Democratic side supply
themselves with the statistics. They will
prove invincible.

THE cities of older countries snd states
are buying st great expense lots built up
with many houses and converting them
into squares for the people. For New
York city alone bill has been secured
authorizing the expenditure of 81 600, eco
for small parks to be scattered over the
island, although S47, 100000 has been
spent on Central park. In Philadelphia
ten new parks have been selected having
sn area of 1914 acres, the land alone
costing Ss,0o0.000 Experience proves
that the park must be brought to the peo-
pie, for the maj ority Of the people that
are to be benefited by the park cannot
go to it. Progressive cities in new coun :
tries should profit BY this experience and
provide lungs for their citizens, before
the price OF land is 80 enhanced by i'm
provement SIS to raise the cost to fabu-
lous prices. Give the parks to the peo-
pie, and the haunts Of vice will not be so
frequented, healthfulness being an excel
lent moral agent.

THE committee appointed by the New
York Legislature to draft bill providing
for the substitution OF electricity fol
hanging in capital punishment cases, are
having walls Of righteous indignation
poured upon their heads. These men

vailed when guilty unfortunstes were

Principles of Taxation.


There is perhaps no one Of the powers
conferred on the federal government go
liable to abuse as the taxing power. The
most productive and convenient sources
of revenue were necessarily given to it,
that 1t might be able to perform the i'm
portant Duties imposed upon it; and the
taxes which it lays upon commerce being
concealed from toe real payer In the price
of the article, they do not 50 readily at
tract the attention Of the people as
smaller sums demanded from them d.
rectly by the tax .gatherer. But the
tax imposed on goods enhances by
so much the price of the commodity
to the consumer. and as many of these
duties are imposed on articles Of necessity
which are daily used by the crest body Of
the people, the money raised by these
imposts Is drawn from their pockets.
Congress hiss no right under the consti.
tuition to take money from the people un-
less 1t be required TO execute some one OF
the specific powers intrusted to the govr
eminent; and IL they raise more than is
necessary for such purpose II is an abuse
of the power Of taxation and unjust and
oppressive. 1T may, indeed, happen that
the revenues will sometimes exceed the
amount anticipated when the taxes were
laid. When, however, this is sscertained
1t Ia easy to reduce them; and in such q

there is more need of their being court

power not given to it BY
the constitution, nor in taking
away the money of the people
when it is not needed for the legitimate

principles appesr to be, you Will yet find
that there is constant fort to induce

limits Of its taxing power, and to impose
unnecessary burdens upon the people.
Many powerful interests are continually
at work to procure heavy duties on COM

the real necessities of the public service;
and the country hiss already felt the in
furious effects Of their combined influence.

The building will be constructed OF stone,

When we consider the city Of NeRffk

opinion, is further element of strength
