ABOLISH THE INTERNAL REVENUE
SYSTEM,
Tho following britf bnt powerful
speech by tho Hon, S. S. Cox, of N. Y.,
we reproduce from the Congressional
Record, of Juno ICth:
I beg attention nf the members to say that
eunugh bus been developed, owing to the
unfortunate colloquy that has taken place,
to show honest people who are watching our
proceedings with more care for our own
honor than we seem to be doing. I (ay the
revelations which have been made In con
nection with Hie Internal revenue syitcin
havo begotten much suspicion. Whether
well or ill founded, I do not cay; but it
calls for very careful Investigation. The
result will be, and not very remote cither,
that the whnlo Internal revenue system will
he blotted out. It ought to be.
I believe If the tariff were properly or
ranged, If tho number of articles upon
which duties are levied was cut down from
more than 2,000 to some smaller number
and with revenue qualities, it would not re
quire a commission to frame a tarilf that
would yield reveuiu enough to pay all the
expenditures of frugal government. I would
bail His day when this internal revenue
system shall be abolished, and our revenues
be collected with revenue purposes, neither
political, partisan, nor protective.
Wo bavo had it now twenty years. It was
a war measure. It has done its work, lis
past its usefulness. I know the effect or It
in my own State. You gcnttcmo i who fa
vor a free ballot and an honest count per
haps do not know how tho Internal revenue
officers, the storekeepers, the gangers, and
all ot the employees of that bureau, force
by their espionage and terriorism the free
lalht. It is a power which I could had 1
time, display in its enormity, and from pub
lished and notorious facts.
It is an expensive system. It is costly In
country and city. Go to North Carolina. I
defy any ninu of common Bense to tell me
that the system in North Carolina pays
either morally or economically. Take the
several districts of North Carolina as you
find them in the report of the Commission
er ol Internal Revenue. Take its Sixth Dis
trict. You will find that it costs to collect
$510,944 of revenue oyer $274,415. It is
oyer 54 percent, for tho cost of collection
Yet in that same Stale, quiet and or
derly as it is, they collect their State taxes
for five per cent., or $20,513 as the cost of
collecting $530,263.
This expensive system does invade the
towns aud the cities. As I said, it forces
the ballots. It uses spies and informers
person of bad fame throughout all history.
Of all those which history hands down a
most execrable are spies and informers,
They are the voluntary witnesses for a con
sideration, which the amendment of the
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. White)
would cut up by the roots.
With permission I quote the description
of the detested informer given by the Iris!:
orator Curran. It was familiar to our school
boys. It ought to direct us on this amend

I make this speech now not for the pur

we cannot fail to see that a reform must

On the speakers platform there was
otretched ft flag of -green, while and yel

hung entwined with the Irish sunburst

Washington, D. CJune 17, 1882.
The month of roses is fast slipping
away, tint tne unseasonable weather
makes one think it is coy April rather
then leafy Jane, and warm wraps are by
no means superfluous on these evenings.
Those who fled to the country at the first
breath of summer have, been rather taken
on, directly or indirectly, on pension
cases that the claims will be Adjudicated
within three years from July 1st, 1882.
There were 2C3.C51of these claims pend
ing undetermined on April 1st, mid with i
the present number of clerks it. would ,
take eight years to dispose of them. The
committee provide In the bill for in
creasing the numb r of clerks employed
in tbo Tension Bureau from 742 to 1659;
the number in the Surgeon General's Of
fice from 257 to 690, and for the addition
of CO clerks in other offices whero a small
part of the work is done. The addition
al annual cost of these clrrks will be
$1,732,430, The greater part of this sum
will be expeuded tn the Fension Bureau,
where the cost of clerical v ork will bo
raised from $SG8,530 to $1,881,950, or
muro than doubled. It has beeapropos
ed bj some to add a sufficient number of
clerks to dispose of all the claims in one
ye-ir instead of three, but It has been
fouud that no more additional clerks
than those provided in the bill can work
npou the records to udvantage, because
there is only one copy of tho records
which these clerks must examine. It
was thought that theso records might be
duplicated by photo-lllhograpby. but nu
expert declared that their coudition
would not al'.ow this. In order that
fraudulent claims may not be allowed,
tbo comuiltlee provide for 250 special
examiners, whoBeduty It will be to go to
the homes of claimants and examine wit
nesses. It is esttmateri mat eacn oi inese
igents can examine 252 claims n year, or

THE NAMES.
Last year's River and Harbor bill, as
parsed by both Houses of Congress, ap
propriated $11,220,000. Big steal as it
as, it bears no comparison to the pres
ent conspiracy. The bill which has just
parsed the House, and gone to the other
end of the Capitol to lest and measure
the honesty or dishonesty of the Senate,
makes away with about eighteen millions;
and all the Skoodoowobskooks are not
jet heard Irom.
There not only has been an increase in
tie dimensions of the steal, there also
has been u decrease in tbo honest resist
ance to the tcbeme on the floor of the
nnse. Last ytar eighty five members
voted against the disgraceful business;
this year there were only forty-seven.
It btrikes us that the list of the forty
seven Congresnnen who did not join in
the general ugreenieut to plunder is worth
preserving. There were twenty-six Re
publicans and twenty-one Democrats.

the arrears of pensions acts of Congress,
because of the heavy draft upon the
Treasury, but It comes mostly Irom or
gaus ol corporations or monied interests
who want everything themselves. The
great majority of people agree that the
money is tar better expended in this way
than if given to subsidy schemes and the
lobby, as millions have been heretofore.
If those who denounce the extravagance
of this measure would turn their atten
tion to the River and Harbor bill and the
reckless appropriations for tho construc
tion ot public buildings there would be
some method in their madness. Nearly
$10,000,01)0 will ba voted for theso two
objects this year, a largo proportion of
which is actually thrown away. The in
creasing proportions of the River and
Harbor bill really excites apprehension
among tbonghtlul people here. TUh
annual humbug started with a modest
two millions in 1970 and in twelve years
has come up to about twenty millions.
As reported to the House June 1st, the
aggregate amount called for was $17 342,
875; but several jobs are to be added, so
that tho total will reach $22,000,000 by
the timo it gets through both houses.
Nearly every Congressman wants a hack
at it, and as the whole thing is run on
the principle of you help me aud I'll help
you, no addition can be refused, aud
every one increases the number of votes
and helps to rush tho scheme thruugl
under a suspension of the rules, without
debate,. Just think what it will bo in
the next Congress when wo have thirty
two additional members come u for their
share of the "creeks" and damp places

said, looks crests-wl .e at this sort of thing
and there ia a bare possibility that his
conscience may prompt him to veto the
bill.
With most people the Morey letter is a

mystery. Perhaps ho hasn't much else

A MILLION AND A QUARTER.
We are just beginning to find out how
big wo are in New York that is to say,
how big New York City is. In square miles
we knew all about it longagn,and in super
ficial area we give in to the broad-brimmed
sous nf Penn, who call their city the largest
in tho country, without lylne any more
than is good for them. Hut the world don't
measuie influence by the yard, uor power
by the tope-line. Daniel Lambert don't
count tor qnile as much as Viilliam M
Kvaits, although lie might cover toe latter
up, and not know anything was under him,
and Ilarmiin'a fat-woman don't fill as big a
space in the world's estimation as George
Ellolt, Ihniigh the circumference of her calf
was greater than the span of tho others

ing out, and we have wailed two years lo
know just how many souls made Manhat
ten Island their home In June lbSO. I say
'souls" been u la that is the conventional
phrube,"but in point of fact, the supply of
souls would be found to run alarmlncly
short if there was any trustworthy way ol
determining how many of the visible bodies
contained nothing worth the name of soul
hut, in its stead, only the greed ol the wolf,
the lust of the goat, the cruelty of the hyena
the cunniug of the fox, and the venom c
the siiake.
There were 1,200,209 persons living in
New York Cily two years ago. If tho
enumeration had occurred fifteen minutes
later in some one of the. tenement house
distilcts, it might haye been nn even 300
instead of 299, by the arrival of a new baby
but the baby probably didn't know the
marshal was coming around so soon, ami
didn't hurry on that account. As the City
contains some 25 square miles, a simple cal
culation shows a density of over 48,000 tn
the square mile. Take olf the upper third
of the lilted, where there ii much land not
yet built upon, and wherein Is Central Park
with its 846 acres and the remainder would
bo found to havo nearer 100,000 than 80,000
to the square mile, There were 107,2110
children under fivo years of age, enomh of
themselves, to makea city os large as Cleve
land, and nearly enough lo entitle them to
petition Congress lor admission as a State,
requiring liberal appropriation for internal
Improvements. Then, at the othcrend of
the line, were 34S men and women, who,
like "Grandfather's Clock," had "stood
ninety years on the shelf," and were pre
sumably, nearly run down. How many of
these had cut short their days by rum and
tobacco we are, unfortunately, not told. It
would mako such a strong temperance ser
mon If we knew. There were 26,271 more
females than males a fact you had better
not publish promiscuously, because thero is
already loo great a propensity, on the part
of the country boy to come to Now York for
fame, fortune aud a wife, and I don't want
to stimulate his coining lo look over these
25,000 assorted females. Thero were only
20,450 colored people here, which ensures
good water-melon market, but don't en
danger the demand for white labor.
But these wero the figures of 1880, and
don't lell the story of to-day because wo are
getting a new population at the rato of
FIFTEEN THOUSAND A Wr.F.K.
In the past fortnight, over thirty thous
and emigrants hate landed here, aud over
two hundred thousand havo come to our
shores so far in 1882. There has never been
such a rush Irom Europe as now, nor so
many nationalities represented. It has been
estimated by our political economists, that
every man arriving as an emigrant, was
worth to tbe country, in actual present or
prospective wealth, not less than $1,000
Figure it up yourself, and see how much
richer we are as a nation,thaa we were six
mouths ago. Even if yournwn pocket dees
not feel tho weight of any part of the $1,000
per capita, you can congritulato yoursel
that out of the labor of these hardy workers
is to come luture national surpluses, to be
voted away by Congress for appropriations
for the navigation of duck ponds and the
building of niarblo post offices and custom
houses for every landing place on the At
actic, and hamlet on tbe shores of the
Great Lakes.
CASTLE QABDEN
is the door lo tho United Slates lor nine
tenths of the emigrants, and a hospitable
door it has been. Here he (and his wife
and breod of children) have been boused
and sheltered on arrival from the blgBteam
shins in tbe strange land : here ho has
found Interpreter whu could speak every
language ever heard of and givo points to
the Learned Blacksmith ; hero he could gi
hss store ol foreign n.oney changed Into
American currency without being cheated
here he could buy tickets to any part of the
broad land; here he could find chance to
engage himself to labor In New York and
surrounding country if so disposed; from
here, if he was sick he could bo 'akeu to the
hospital, under the same general supervis
ion and be doctored and nursed. In short
it has been the very best friend and pio
lector the (migrant could hope to find, and
at a fraction of the cost which he would
otherwise havo to pay for his introduction
into American lile. There was danger last
week, that the Garden, with all its useful
ness, was to be closed, for want of funds lor
curient expenses. The State nf New York
has paid the expenses until now, but it was
rightfully f'lt, that, as not one in len of the
beneficiaries remained in Now York, the
National Government should pay the cost
of what wus so largely for the nutioual good
Congress had done nothing, and even if it
should suspend the usual grab-game long
enough to consider therajc ofthe Immigrant
it would be after so long a delay, that great
sulfertngand loss would have been involved.
The only other source to look to lor the
monev was the steamship companies wlm
brought the imnrgranta to this cniutiy. They
were asked to pay fifty cents a head for all
whom they landed. This was reasonable
(in the end) and no expenso to them, as
they will, nf course, add fifty cents to tl e
est nf steerage tickets. At the last tnomet t
they have consented to this arrangement,
and Castle Garden will cotilinue tn remain
and protect the strangers. But for tliis.they
would be landed n the piers of the several
transportation companies and left tn shift
for themselves, and to be the prey of sharp
ers, thieves and procurers.
A card in the Evening Tost has disclosed
the practices of a
FOL1TK AND POL1SHKD SCOUNDBKL,
who inlests railway trains to and from New
York, and against whom the widest warn
ing should be given. A gentleman says his
sister was coming to New York on a train,
when a well dressed and lished gentle
man (apparently) asked If the seat beside
her was engaged, and finding it was not, he
took it. Gradually be led the way in i
courteous conveisation, and finally produc
ing a box ol conlectionery, Invited her to
partake. She declined ths in spite of his
urging. Undoubtedly it was. drugged, for
failing in this plan, he soon pulled out hti
handkerchief and flourished it about until
the lady felt herself becoming overcome
with the jierfume and and chloroform upon
it. With greal exertion and by Btrong will
she opened the window, and soon revived
in tbe Iresh air. Finding himself foiled,
tho man left the seat, and soon alter tbe
train. A lew days later, the lady saw the
same man pursuing similar tactics lowarJ a
lady on another train. She asked to speak
to the lady, when he recognized her, and
left tbe train hurriedly. There is no doubt
he had selected victims who probably bad
purses and jewelry about their persons, and
Intended lo rob tbem as soon as tbey became
unconscious.
