THE REVENUE.
Letter from Hon. Walter L. Steele, Bcprc
sentative Sixth Congressional District
Contrcssmaii Bobbins' View in the Jlain
Endorsed The Bread & Butter Brigade
The Tariff Question. '
Rockingham, July 9, 1377.
to the Editor of the Xews :
Sir: I received your letter aud the
copy of Mr. Robbins' letter, which it in
closed, asking ray opinion upon the inter
nal revenue system, which Js now great ly
afllieting the people our of State. You will
be content with a very brief answer.
Before your letter reached me, I had
seen, at the Sparkling Catawba Springs a
copy of the News, containing Major Rob
bins' views upon that vexatious question.
If I understand him, he favors the aboli
tion of the entire svstem, and desires that
all revenues shall be raised by a tax on
imports, so adjusted that revenue and not
protection,- shall be consulted. lie, no
doubt, believes as I d, that this plan will
afford all the fostering care which the
manufacturing interests should require at
the hands of the Federal government, and
that other discriminations work injustice
to all other occupations. Without at
tempting to discuss the matter, I have uo.
Iresitation in saying, that if I lightly un
derstand him, there is no disagreement on
that part of the subject.
- " -
I shall be ready to join Major Robbins
in any effort to give relief to the tax-burdened
people of the State either by alter
ing or abolishing the Internal Revenue
laws, readjusting the details of au iniqui
tous, .tariff, which taxes the many for the
bene'tit of the few, or by any other means
consistent with honesty and good faith.
It is mr wish that the manufacturing in
dustries of the country shall prosper; but
I do not desire it to be at the expense of
all other interests. These interestsslipuld
now lie able, after so mauy years of pro
tecting kindness on the part of the gov
ernment, to stand without further sup
port in the way of burdeus upon the con
sumers of their products. Common decen
cy demands that they ask uo more direct
aid that they call for no further taxation
of others for their exclusive benefit, but
that they shall be ready with all classes
to bear with them equally the burdens of
supporting the government. The true
doctrine in my opinion is set forth in the
phrase: "Buy where you can buy the
cheapest, and sell where you can get the
best prices." This doctrine, every man
will practice if he is let alone even the
protectionists themselves and ..what is
true in the management of private affairs,
cannot be ruinous in government.
You will allow me to say tbat if we
were beginning the experiment of govern
ment, I should oppose all indirect means
of raising" revenue. I should, do so . be
cause in a self-governing State the peo
ple are entitled to know, at aU timeex.-
actly what.tliey! are paying for the pub
lie support and, this they cannot know
tnilesg the taxes! are so laid as to be ap
parent to the tax payer. Taxe raised
upon imports are paid by the consumer,
but paid, often, so that he does uot know
that he is contributing' at all, or in what
degree, to the support of the general gov
ernment. If laid directly, ho that all
would know we should have a far more
economical administration of our public
affairs. Besides this, we should avoid a
system which does not bear equally and
which affords so many opportunities for
unjust burdens upon the larger part of the
people for the benefit of a very small num
ber who clamor fin- what they are pleased
to term a principle, when, in fact it is
nothiug butra demand that money be ta
ken from thA profits of others for their
own benefit. Bat these views cannot now
be strictly carried out, and I shall be glad
to see the present tariff system regulated
exclusively, as par as possible, so as to i
raise the necessary revenue. Wnen that is ;
done sufficient "lurgrfoiffir protection" will
i "... " i
protect l
ue given
to all
manufacturing indus-
tries. .
On the whole I apprehend there is little
difference in the views entertained by
Major Bobbin 8 and myself upon the ques
tions embraced ;in his letter. They are
doubtless entertained by a large majority
of the people of the State. Indeed, I sus
pect that there are very few, outside the
circle of office-holders, who dissent from
them. Very resiectfully,
Walteu L. Steele.
THIEVERY IX THE REVENUE
SERVICE.
Winston Sentinel.
Deputy Marshal Hodges, of the sixth
district, some fonr months ago came into
Forsyth couutyj and seized three stills
belonging to Wpi. Griffith, without any
charges of a violation of the revenue laws
except that thej were on the furnace.
These stills were left with B. F. Jones, in
xadkin county. I This seizure was not re
ported to the collector of either the fifth
or sixth districts. Griffith applied to
Jones for his stills and was told that they
had been stolen, but not being satislied
with this answer, he went to a magistrate
and took out a search warrant and found
two of his stills in Jones' distillery the
other we learn was found in possession of
another person. There is a criminal abuse
of authority in this transaction, and a
deliberate attempt to rob a citizen of this
county of his property by an officer of the
federal government, acting under cover
of his office.
IMPORTANT TO CLERKS OF
THE
SUPERIOR COURTS.
The State Treasurer has issued the an
nexed circular to Clerksof Superior Courts:
State of N. Carolina, Treas'y Dep't
Raleigh, July 10, 1S77.
To the Clerks of Superior Courts :
The circular letter from this Depart
ment, of June 22d, 1877, addressed to
Clerks of Courts, &c, containing a con
struction of Section 4, Schedule C, of the
Revenue Act, w as a reply io certain direct
questions presented to me as the intent of
the section in imposing a tax on official
seals.
The construction therein given was
based upon the language of the section as
disconnected from auy other statute.
I have since been asked by Clerks for addi
tional advice as to their duty in collecting
a tax on chattel mortgages and laborer's
liens, and being desirous of construing the
intent of the General Assembly as liber
ally as the language of the law will admit,
I suggest, with the approval of the Attor
ney General, that no charge be made for
affixing the seal to the class of documents
herein mentioned, viz: chattel Mortgages
and loborer's liens.
Very respectful lv,
JOHN M. WORT 117
State Treasurer.

IMPROVEMENTS.
When-His Honor Judge Cloud held
court here, he instructed the grand jpry
to order the county commissioners to lay
a cheap carpet down in the aisles of the
court room. His Honor it is said, objects
to noises both those made with the feet
and those made with the mouth, but more
especially to suspiration and it was with
a view to prevent noise in the court that
the order was given. His Honor stated
that if the commissioners declined to pay
for the bagging, he would do so himself.
It is stilted that at Concord a few days
ago, while making a charge to the grand
jury, and giving instructions in relation
to the same thing, His Honor told what he
had said in "Mr. Barringer'a county ,r and
stated that theT bill for the carpet had
been sent to him a,nd be supposed he'd
have to pay for it, and somebody sitting
near said he supposed so too. Char. Ob'
