•
I have been much surprised to learn that
our legiblators at Harrisburg are serious, in
their intention of passing an act to roPeal all
acts or parts of acts exempting from taxation
any real (*ate in our city,excepting that held
by the United t•tates, the State of Pennsyl
vents, or the city of Philadelphia itself. This
means that, the real estate held by hospitals,
, •
homes, asylums, churches, public libraries,
free, schools (other than pabliej, souphouses,
and all other eleemosynary bodies, whether
used for alleviating the miseries of the suffer
ing, providing a home for the aged, sheltering
the abandoned child, worshipping their Ore*.
tor according to the dictates of their con
seienc,prgiving ready access to books to the
inquiring mind, teaching the deaf and dumb,
caring for the blind, giving food to the hungry
and Mei to the poor, shall be taxed by the au
thotities,ind an additional burdenbe imposed
upon the benevolent and voluntary contribu
tors to the above-named objects.
Let usiook at the results which must follow
the proposed
In the case of a number of our 'benevolent
institutions and 'of our churches, their doors
would be closed, as it would be simply impos
sible for them to pay the tax. The property
they own was purchased years ago and has
since largely increased in value, with no in
crease in revenue, but, in the case of the
churches in the eastern part of the city, a di-
Minished ability, in consequence of the re
moval to other localities of the families for
merly occupying what are now business loca
tions. Those now living in this section of the
city would, under the most favorable circum
stances' feel the additional burden ' most
heavily.
The Pennsylvania Hospital has, • the real
estate it pow holds assessed at $1,015A0. A
tax of 11 84),per hundred dollars=a rate.which
we alli i loowis insuflicient to meet the cur
rent expenses of the city, and which We must
ex et Ire largely increased—would require
the institution to pay it tax. of ~$1i3,'270. Their
entire leVelitte, understand, is but $32,000,
and in.a short time the increase in the tax—
from either an increase in the rate or in the
valuation—would be more than their income,
and ciniso,thetn to close all their free'wards. So
in thetoise of a large number of our chinches. It,
is well known that at the end of the fiscal year
the' able: members are required to make up
deficieneite to meet the current expenses, and
a real estate tax added would cause them to
give up in'despair, or, at best, prevent others
isking,the burden, when the, present bearers
are removed by death or other causes.
In stronger churches it Would be a mere
question of time when they would be similarly
affected; and in the half dozen rich churehea,
the additional amount to be raised would tend
to the exclusion of all- but- the very rich.
Another effect would be to cripple the abili
ties of the congregations so that the salary of
the minister, would afford an inadequate sup
port for his family ; and while our able minis
ters would betake themselves to a region
where more liberal views would prevail, their
places would be fined with men whose talents
would command no more than the dimi
nished abilities of their congregation could
give them. It may be said that this view
is not cOmplimentary to the clergy. We must
not forget that, they are but men, and that as
a rule ability and talent, like water, find their
own level. •The envious may point to a few,
very few-ministers in Philadelphia, who re
ceivawhat utay be called large salaries ; but
the past has shown us that men commanding
such salaries are the most likely to be taken
from us, by better positions being offered to
them in other cities; and at best, they are but
the small exception to the large number who
now Must economize to present a respectable
appearance and make both ends meet at the
end of the year.
Again, how many buildings of grand archi
tectural proportions or of proper ecclesiastical
aPPearances—ornaments to the city—would
be erected,with the danger that in a few years
the enhanced value of the ground on which
they stand would cause to be levied such a
tax that the occupants would be unable to
meet the increased expense ?
Would such buildings be erected anywhere,
or would tlioqe of even an inferior character
be constructed in improving neighborhoods?-
Bearing in inindthatmo increase of revenue is
derived from the increased valuo--and that
the expenses must be met by the voluntary
contribution of the members of the organiza
tion, and that to make the property available
for dwellings, stores, &c., the superstructure
must be taken down and all the cost thereof
Lost. How, many buildings of - such cost as to
be worthy of the existence of a century (or
the fourth of the time) would be erected in
this city. where we have now so little cause to
be proud in the matter of the architecture
of buildings, other than municipal, and none
at all in these ?
As it is proposed to confine this taxation to
the city of Philadelphia, benevolent persons
turning their attention to the formation of a
new charity can readily find another location
than the one where the money they. de•
sign shall benefit the poor, the afflicted or the
helpless is to be diverted to the public
treasury; and Philadelphia would thus sutler
in character, and be deprived , of the intended
advantages. ,
In connection With this, I would call at
tention to the fact that now certain
publie ' institutions, aa, for , instance,
the Blind Asylum, the St. Joseph's
Orphan Home, the Northern Home for
Friendless Children, the Lincoln Institution,
and I know not what others, receive aid
from the State ; and to levy a tax upon the real
estate of such would simply require additional
aid from the State Treasury to benefit the 'City
Treasury. How long would people of other
parts of the Commonwealth rest satisfied to
raise' funds to benefit our local treasury, and
would not the increased demand endanger the
whole of the grants made by the State?
Again, the value of property would be in
juriously affected by the proposed action.
Church accommodations are a necessity.
Public libraries and Academies of Natural
Sciences are great attractions, and hospitals
and all similar institutions add to the character
of a city, Would stranger* be attracted to the
region where a drinking-saloon is lieensed,
and a home for friendless children is taxed;
where the brothel and the gambling-house axe
placed by the authorities on the same footing
as a church and a hospital ?
Reasons against the proposed action main
, ply upon reflection. 1 will refer to but one,
and then close.
Taking a mere monetary view of the case,
the proposed action is inexpedient. The pub
lished returns show :hill houses of worship,
valued at less than $11,000,000, or just about
*30,000 each. To tax these would add less
than 2L per cent. to the taxable property. Not
only would the amount raised from them be
comparativelY trifling, Nit they_ now save to
the city in the reformatory action far more
than the 5200,000 which could be exacted from
them. (Each place of worship would return
atithe present assessed value a tax just about
equal to the license of twelve drinking
saloons.)
The Hospitals, Homes, Asylums, &c., now
support apotoulation who, but for the volun
tary action of the beneVolent, would, to. a
large extent, be ,maintained at the public cost.
It is not only ungenerous, but it is unjust, to
impose an additional burden on those' who,
from charitable motives, burdeu themselves ;
to tax those who save the public from a largo
amount of taxation, and to punish the liberal
for their liberalityi Ai.

A New Route Discovered.
The Russian papers announce an important
discovery by , Cartson, a learned, Norwegian,
which will give an impetus to Siberian trade.
Ile bad cruised for scientific purposes in an
expedition undertaken last saunter •to the

of the bile of Nova Zambia and the govern

ice. In this ice a passage was discovered
which, for several months in the year, offers
convenient path for trafhe between Siberia
and the Norwegian harbor of lronismi. This
discovery at the same time was made by the
Englishman Palliser.
