Now Is tho Tima to Poduc9 Taxa
J" tion.
From a careful examination of the
finiinces of this Stare It is evident that
the time liai fully arrived when the
taxes of the people and also of some cor
porations can be reduced without em
barrassing the financial operations of
the State. . .
The State has already acted on the
bill to repeal taxes upon cattle, horses,
mule, occupations, trades and profes
sions. This is right and proper, sinoo
it relieves, principally, the poorer classes
of our people; but to this bill should be
added a section repealing the taxes on
net earnings. These taxes have always
been burdensome, and are really the
most unjust imposed on the people.
The capital employed in manufacturing
establishments is taxed, and then comes
again a tax on the earnings this very
capital produces ; all money invested in
manufactoring is, therefore, taxed twice,
if not three times. This ought not to
be.
These taxes abolished, the State can
still, without inconvenience, reduce cer
tain taxas on corporations. The finan
cial officers of the State can easily point
out the taxes that can best be spared
from tha revenues, ' .
During the past year the State Treas
urer reduced the debt $1,076,326 This
is entirly too much of a reduction. Our
debt to-day, after deducting tho bonds
of the different r .ilroad companies in the
sinking fund, is nbmit twenty millions of
dollars; and if we pay 010 million of
this debt annually it will relieve the
State from debt entirely within twenty
years. This is relieing it fust enough,
and we hope, therefore, that the. present
Legisiature will not adjourn until it re
duces tho Income of the State Treasury
at least one million of dollars, whieh are
now raised by taxation.
Sioee the above was in typo an amend
ment has been introduced to the bill be
fore the Senate, looking to tho desired
reduction- Ilarri.shurg Telegraph.
A Queei IIorsE. The House of
Representatives ia composed reeuliary
this winter. It Bares all how Ciawfovd
tod Mifflin are represented ; and a
Cross stands for Beaver. Black and
Brotcn are the prominent colors. Liq
our vras excluded fre-n tha coat-rooui. but
Porter is in the JIoun Doilai ; and
the members are never Dry with such a
Nyee Sample ; neither do thev fail
Slwrtt of other SfajJ.-s. Io addition to
the Speaker, the House ha a A".;; but
with both to goveru, there is always
Noyes. On every Priva'e CVondar
d:iy, tho P.eprenttTes can recline
under the shade of an A.Ji and a Bunch,
stroking their Bain!, white their active
afsocistte Darft here and thtre through
the Lane watched by Noon and the
vigifant Wolf",. Hut this J'yle of "De
Witt" of our Young essayUt, however
much it Burns in his brain, must Sticr
to an end, or ho will sink in Nyer ; and
his future, though now Albright, end in
a den darker than Daniels. State Jour

The Post OlEce Department has de
cided that after a letter leaves the office
from which it was Bailed it passes from
the control of the sender and cannot be
recovered by hita but must be forwarded
to its address. If the person to whom
it was addressed cannot be found, the
sender becomes the principal party and
it must bo returned to him, cither
through the dead letter office or in ac
cordance with the printed "request" if
there be one on the envelope.
There ia a document on tiliibtion in
tho offico of the Secretary of the State
of Illinois, which is of some historical
interest. It dates from Block Hawk
war in 1S32 and is an order from the
Brigade Inspector to supply ''Captain
Abram Lincoln's company" with thirty
guas. A receipt for the arms is append
ed, signed by Abram Lincoln. The
question thcrefuro arises, "Was Lin
coln's name originally Abram or Abra
ham? or was it Abrain at first, and
Abraham afterward?"
There are now in Salem, Mass., CGG
men lrom sixty to oiuty years of aja,
a very small number of whom are in
capacitated for daily business. Tho
number of aged women is still greater.
It therefore would appear that more ttan
one person in twenty of the population
is over sixty years old.
An eccentrio old fellow who lives
alongside of a graveyard, was asked if it
waB not an unpleasant location. "No,"
said he, ,'I never jined places so in all
my life with a set of neighbors that mind
their business bo steady as they do."
Nova Scotia is now raising about 1,
000,000 tons ef coal annually.
GSOUGIA CORBECPOITLENCE.
Say ANKAti, March !)t!i, 1873
Dear Advocate: Here I am at
Inst in the Forest (Jity of the South nnd
without exaggeration, it is, so far as we
can form any judgment, and compare
between cities through which we have
passed it is the most beautiful.
Delays are numerous, at least on this
trip. Yet they have furnished oppor
tunity for observation, and conversation
with citizens. The oountry over which
we passed is one vat yellow and pitch,
forest, and tha principal business is the
manufacture of Spirits of Turpentine,
TCosin and Tar. The manufacture of
lumber is beginning to form a very im
portant branch of industry, and along
our line of travel we saw a gerat many
ties, and largo qualities of very fine
looking lumber made of the yellow pine
timber. The soil is sandy with clay
sub-soil, and is easily brought to a very
high state of cultivation, and there was
but one reported this subject and that was
that the land would yield a bale of cot
ton to the aero on the start which could
be Increased by th use of fertilisers,
nor is land higher than in the Western
Section of our grent country, ranging
from 85 to 10 pev acre, ;cording to lo
cality and quality, or rather timber.
ThV country if not without marshes,
the largest we noticed being those formed
by the Big Peedee, San tee and Savanuah
Rivers, and especially that formed by
the Santee River, requiring ten mile of
trestle work for the Wilmington and
Charleston Rail Road. Men everywhere
said "give us good energetio Yankee
farmers, who will buy the land in small
panels of 100 to 130 acres and work it
and we bavo no fears for the future of
our section of the nation," So far as
W3 could determine, jwhatever of preju
dice and hatred for northern men that
may have existed in the past has quite
entirely disappeared. There are those
who are dissatisfied and f rumble, but
the number of these is small, and" grow
ing less, and are of a make up, and be
long to that class who 'would not, or
could not be satisfied with any thing in
heaven tosay nothing of earthly thiugs.
There are men here from many of
t fie Northern States. Some mere visit
ors, others prospecting for future homes.
We said in , tho outset that Savannah
was a Ivautiftil city, aud we made the
best of our time here to day, and strolled
over a eittsidorab'e purtion of the city.
Among the place of uote i thejlatterv,
where iheie is one company of artillery
stationed, and here on our uncle's
ground w saw. for tv.e first time in
rnnny year, viz : orange trees with ripe
fruit ! The pari is also visited by
everjboir wii c -toe to ?aran:iart a

in &3 an hi 'ori-Vi association. Tho
monument M arris in the centre of the
square, enclosed by an iron railing. On
the panel facing the Ea'-.t is carved in
relief, a statue of the wounded General
fallling from horse. West is the follow
ing iuseriptron, "Pu'tiski, Tho Heroic
Pole who full mortally wounded, fighting
for American liberty at The Seigo of
Savannah, 0th. Oct., l77'J"-Above the
North and South panels is pimply tbc
name Pulaski.
During our stay so far we have been
stopping at the Pulaski House, and a
better and more accommodation stopping
plaea ia not easily found anywhere, and
the Advocate may say to its friends
coming South, don't fail to Rtop at the
Pulaski House, and every want will be
most promptly and kindl met. To-morrow
wo are off Mill southward bound,
aud more again.
Yours a ever,
H. A. P.
Our Industrial IxiT.nESTs.-Some
idea of the magniSocut proportions which
the manufacturing interests of the
country are beginning to assume, may
derived fiom a study of the data furnish
cd by the last census. In tho several
States aud Territories there were then
li52,14S establishments for manufactur
ing purposes, using 40,090 stationary
engines, and employing 2,033,098 per
sons in the several bratiohes of industry
represented. Tho capita! invested w?s
setdowu at $2,118,247,000, and the
anionic of wages paid during tha ye ar
euding June 1st 1870, was $-1,232,
625,802. Sinoe that date the number
of these establishments and the extent
of their operations have very greatly In
creased. And such is the condition of
our surrounding civilization and such
its present and prospective demands,
that the fuvtnve promise of our industrial
develepements bids fair to outrun the
most sanguine estimates. The wants of
society increase iuproportion to the in
creased capacity for porJuctiou, and
the field for the latter in this country is
practically unlimited.
Tha Aim of Advertising.
It is the remark of a very eminent
Boston iau that he regarded an advertise
ment in a paper as a personal invatation
extended to him to call, aod ha added:
"While I sometimes hositate uliout en
tering a store, tho proprietors of which
have Dot thus gent their card to niy resi
dence, 1 always feel certain of a cordial
welcome lrom the members of an adver
tising firm. " There is in this remark su
assurance of one nf the many results of
advertising. The trader aod his culling
becomes identified,, and the name of a
man is inseparable conneoted in the
miad ct the public with his merchandise.
It may not be tho very day an advertise
ments appears that it bears its fruit ;
weeks or months may elapse, and when
the want arises the article to be obtained
immediatly suggests tho advertiser.
This is the effect of general advertising
when persistently followed. A special
class of advertising, where boiuo novelty
is anuouaced, is more immediate, A
shrewd business mau ouco advertised a
trifling article in a manner which would
scarce prove reuuuerative. His neigh
bors expressed tlidir regret at his folly,
but ho appeared contented. Though
his gross tales of tha article did not cut
er tho ecatof Lis adv rfoing, ha attract
ed new disss ot people to his store;
aud his shrewdness paid him in a very
short time, for new ejes saw what he
had to oiler iu addition to the speciality
advertised, nu j fresh purses came under
contribution to him.
Tho object which all aim to accom
plish in advertising is au increase of
business. The nimble shillings is what
we require io this age. It costs very
litile uioreiu the way of expeuse to carry
ou a business of two thousand dollars
than it recuires to do halt the amount.
The cost of rent, personal living, and j
many incidental expenses, do not in
crease in the ratio of business, while
time is saved; for these is greater piofit
resulting from a trade of two hundred
thousand in one year than from the same
amount, and even more, extended over
twice the space of time. These simple
tacts arc well known by energetic busi
ness men, who adopt advertising as the
most powerful method of saving time,
by increase business, and thus uiukiug
capital doubly active. Iuduud, it is ott
en made a substitute fur actual capital.
Boston Journal.
Political Morality, It is quite
refreshing to uote the cummeuts ot the
opposition press on tho jesult of the
Credit -Viohilier investigation. To read
some ot those journals, one would think
tiiitl ihey were die exponents of a party
that never sinned; that held iu its keep
ing nil tl.o publiu and private virtue in
tho luud. I'emueratiu editors v. ho nev
er I. ail a word to say agaiut the sin ot
the rebfliioii; who defended Tweed and
his brother thieves as high-toned gentle
meu aud model public stiveut.--,; who
have grown rich by using thier columns
to advocate and justily the schemes of a
eorritptdobby, suddenly assume au air ot
a;n;iy innocence, aud prueoed to lecture
the u.u.iou on the sins aud shortcomings
id' the Uepublican party.
Tlie s i-etaele is a novel one, and we
tru.-t these seit-nppointcd guardiuus ol
public purity will keep at. thii-r work
aLd uive thier bard-shell readers a daily
leS'.urs .u th beauty and neetSMty of
po.. Luaesii. It will do good to
oh writer a id reader. The Democratic
e'iitir r.j&y luf ue iu His own system a
iittis fitiiuiiie iione-ty by continually ex-
croi.-in lits brain over i.ouesi pniiiuiouis.
liis f-ubaciibers, who take their iutellee
tual food at his table, may think tko
c iiver&aiiou -jiiuiuc, and be thus led to
hornet information themselves.
So keep up your show of virtuous in
dignation, gcitletueu ; you can do no
liunn to tlie Uepublican party, but may
huecoed in penetrating the sin-tougheued
hide of Democracy with a feeling of re
morse that will awaken fotue of its lead
ers to make eiToria to save? themselves, if
uot the party they adhere to. If thin
Credit Moliiier business leads our Dem
ocriaio neighbors to a closer intimacy
itu their loug-neglectcd bibles, and
reiuiuds tllem to look over ai'ew chaphleis
ou honesty to konw what it really means,
aud how to write on the subject, we may
reasonubly expect, as the logical rcsuii,
a geneivble breaking up of tho Demo
cratic party duriug the next lour years,
If the llopu'uliean party by investigating
the shorteuniimg of a lew of its members,
can start tho i'enioeratic party iu pur
suit after honesty, why fehouid uot the
world rejoice ?

dissatisfied with bis wife g'ves her a
piece of paper, on which a few charac
