The great mannfao , urers may think they pay the titles on menu. factored goods ; but do they ! What ever tax they pay they charge to the wholesale purebaser, and recover it. back from him with interest. The wholesale dealer adds the lax, with still more in terest, to the retail storekeeper The storekeeper puts his own tax and all the accumulated taxes the ethers bare charged to him upon the piece of the ar ticle when be sells it over the counter to the workingman.

Each of these in turn recover from the next man the amount of tax they have paid ; but the lasi man, the laborer, the contutner, the ultimate owner of the article, who does not sell it to anybody elms, but keeps It, uses it, and wears it out—wh• pays him the accumulated taxation which all these richer men have, one after the alb. er piled upon the goods, to enable them to meet the demands of the taxgatbererl The tax is shifted from manufaeturer to wholesale dealer, and from him to the storekeepar,and from him to the working. man.

As long as the goods are brig sold and transferred from hand to hand, so long the tax is keyt shifting from one man's back to another ; but when the arlielebettees to be turned over in trade, end becomes applied to the use it was designed, then the tax can be no further shifted.
