RUSSIAN TAXATION.
The Heavy Burden Laid Upon the Peas
ants Is More Than They Can Benr.

ants Is More Than They Can Bear.
The burdens OF the ~peasantry are
very heavy. In Russia the superior
classes enjoy many exemptions from
taxations, and the public revenue is
taken mainly from the peasant classes.
The annual redemption money they
have opay TO the state for their land is
a most serious obligation, and between
one thing and another the burdens on
the land in a vast number of cases cS-
coed its net return very considerably.
Professor Thun states that in 1000
cases of letting holdings which had
occurred in the province of Moscow ut
the time he wrote the average rent re-
ceived was only 3 rubles, 50 kOpecks
per ''soul," Gand share,) while the
average taxation was 10 mbles, so ko-
pecks. Stcpuiak says that in thirty
seven provinces OF European Russia
the class who were formerly state
peasants pay in taxes Of every descrip-
ton no less than ". Is per cent. of the
average net produce of their land, and
that the class who were formerly scrls
Of private owners pay as much rs
1872. rs percent OF the net produce of
theirs.
Land owning on these terms is man
ifestly a questionable privilege, and
the moujik pays his land taxes as the
Scotch crofter has sometimes TO pay
his rent, not out Of the producs Of his
holding, but on of the wages of his
auxiliary labor, but the Scotch croft
ter, under his "a stem Of individual
tenure, has one Z .eat resource which is
wanting TO the other-he can always
cut the knot of his troubles by throw
ing up his holding, il h. chooses, and
emigrating.
To the Russian peasant emigration
brings no relief. He is born a propri.
etor and cannot escape the obligation
of his position wherever he may go.
He may try to let his ground-and in
many cases he does-but, rs we see,
he cannot often get enough rent TO
meet theducs. He may leave his vii
lage. if he will, but his village liabili-
ties travel with him wherever he may
settle. He caanot obtain work any
where in Russia without showing his
pas from his own commune; and
since, under the principle Of joint Ii.
ability that rules in the communistic
system, the members of the commune
who remain ut home would have Ia
pay the emigrants arrears If he failed
To pay them himself. they are not

We are informed that the citizens of
the Isle Liable section have petetioned
the school board for public school in
that locality, which was refused them
by the board on the ground that said
board had not they money necessary for
the establishment of said school.
There are in this locality 50 educable
children, which would give a public
school an average attendance of sixty
scholars, which would by far exceed the
average of many of the other schools
established in the different sections of
st. Martin parish.
Mr.. Vincent Baras has private
school for his own children under the
professOrship of Mr.. Albert Gabriel. and
and at the urgent request of the parents
in his immediate neighborhOOd, Mr..
Baras has kindly consented to permit
Mr.. Gabriel to take the children of his
neighbors. Mr.. Gabriel has also five
orphans which he ejucates free of charge.
The people of that section are Untitled
to a school and their demand should have
been granted by the board even if the
of that school should have
the other schools to close a
month earlier. Every section of the pa
rish should have the same advantage to
educate their children.
