EVENING EDITION.
FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES.
The tax-payer does not know how
,;"' much tax he pays to the Federal Gov
ernment or he would kick. The State
tax is heavy, he may think, bat it is
not half what a man who lives in
town must pay as all know who have
tried it. But the State, county and
town tax all combined is a drop in
the bucket compared with the tribate
paid to the Federal Government
through the custom houses. The
Tariff -Revenue System is . a great
burden. People ought to pay cheer
fully all taxes levied by the State, as
it is from the State that most of the
privileges and benefits of citizenship
come. Bear that in mind. Thefon
ejits come from North Carolina to
each of its tax-payers, but the chief
burdens are laid by the Federal Gov
ernment. This may seem like a tru
ism to all who have reflected, but it is
necessary to repeat often and empha
size fundamental ' facts and funda
mental principles. An able Georgian,
Hon. Samuel Barrett, has published
in the Atlanta Constitution a series
of papers on "State and Federal Tax
ation. We have seen but one " o t his
articles.- In that he says: - - - -
Nfxe-. nwu mo iciauYD uusii,.'nuu tUC rela
tive benefits of the two governments there
is a strange disparitv.
Ana this disparity
is constantly growing. The exactions of
the Federal Government rise as its benefits
diminish until now it is known chiefly by
its burdens. Within five years it has made
rapid strides, unprecedented in our own
history and in modern times. As now ad
ministered, the Federal Government is a
poor investment; its value has gone down,
as its cost has gone up." -
..He shows thatthe
people of his
' State pay to . the Federal Govern-i'y--:i3
- nient six times more tax than they
i ' , pay to Georgia in all kinds of taxes.
. ' He estimates the tax paid to the TJ.
! 5 S. Governnient annually at $ 12,000,-
000. Think of that. This is not
. peculiar to Georgia. North XJarolina
i v,Pay8 in the same-extraordinary pro-
r , portion and disproportion. We ask
f .intelligent readers to consider care-.
' . fully the following. It is true every
word of it and is worthy of the at
, tention. of every, reflecting tax-payer
; in the State. Mr. Barrett says:
' .; 'Few citizens of Georgia ever appeal to
the United States for protection in any
, way or form. Nearly all rights of person
and property are under State protection,
, t and administered by the State courts. So!
- too, is it with roads; bridges, ferries, and
t ' ' public facilities. All these come out of the
't ' - $2,000,000 raised for State and county pur-
' poses executive, legislative and judicial
expenses, the county schools, the poor, the
asylums, etc, etc. Probably of all rights.
- nine tenths are protected by the State- and
, county, to one-tenth by the Federal Go
vernment.. If go, as the taxes paid to the
mate and county are only about one-fifth
of the Federal tax, it follows that for a
" - f mount of protection we pay to the
United States times as much as for a
, like amount by the State. .

. ing. The Federal Government does not

it. We can get all the benefits and
many evils at far less cost. - The govern
v; ment illustrates nearly every evil of taxl
- V, u auu dispenses a minimum return. It
pe, by the people, and for the people."
Now the huge tax paid the Govern
ment is collected in two ways -at
the custom houses and by collectors
of internal revenue. Nearly two
hundred millions is oolleoted by the
custom houses and some; hundred and
twelve millions is collected through
the internal revenue system.
; But why two systems of collating?
The custom houses collect taxes upon
nearly every necessary of life. The
internal system collects taxes only
upon needless and injurious luxurjel.
Ought there to be any doubt In the
minds of any fair-minded, Intelligent
man which system , is preferable ?
Can any one no : hood-winked and
bound fast 'by the thongs of pre
judice heBitate which to choose -a
tax, oii laxuriea"; or a tax on neces
Bftrifis ? To our bucolic mind there
is nothing for a man to stand upon
but blind prejudice when he looks
this question squarely in the face.
A singular thing is that you can
not get one of the politicians in
North Carolina or one of the news
papers that cry out weekly for the
abolition of the internal tax to say
that he or it prefers to tax luxuries
to necessaries. And yet the inevitat
ble result would be to tax .the poor
man's commodities and to free from
tax the needless and expensive luxu
ries if the internal tax was abolished.
The Stab has a very simple theory.
It cannot be misunderstood. It is
to relieve aU necessaries of life of tax
ation altogether, or as far as it is
possible in order to meet the ordi
nary expenses of the General Gov
ernment. To do this, it favors the
retention of all taxes on luxuries, on
whiskey and beer, on cigars and
chewing and smoking tobacco, on
snuff and cigarettes and on wines.
This is for the internal tax. It be
lieves the same -principle should be
kept up indefinitely as to the other
system of taxation that silks, dia
monds foreign brandies and wines,
&c, should be taxed, x
In other words, that the luxuries
should be made to raise most of the
taxes and the necesseries none, if it
be possible. Turn back and read
again what Mr. Barrett says of the
enormous burden of Federal Taxa
tion, and then say if it is not just,
humane, wise to relieve the people as
far as possible of this burden? Is
there any better or juster way under
heaven than to tax the vices and
-liberate the absolute necessaries of
the laboring millions of the United
States?
When the poor man's medicine
quinjne was taxed heavily it sold
as high as $5 an ounce in "Wilming
ton at one time. When the tax was
lifted from this necessary, this uni
versally used remedy, it fell in price,
and now sells for but $1.25 an ounce.
This shows very clearly what a curse
a tax on necessaries is.
The people should not place a bur
den on tnemselves wnen they are so
unwisely asking to wipe out the tax
on whiskey and tobacco. It is better
for all classes that there should be
free quinine, free blankets, free
crockery, free shoes, free hats, free
trace chains, free cotton ties, than
that there should be free drinke, free
chews and free smokes. The Stab
"will never agree to" any economical
monstrosity of that kind.
It is worse than useless for North
Carolina and one or two'other South
ern States to be bellowing for the
abolition of the tax on the luxuries.
Illiaois producesten or twelves times
more articles that pay the internal
tax than North Carolina pays, and
yet no complaint comes from that
State. And so with most of the
States that produce most of the arti
cles that swell the tax to some $112,
000,000.
On principle the Stab is opposed
to abolishing the, tax on luxuries.
First, because it is necessary. Se
cond, because the luxuries ought to
oe taxed. inira, the best way to
relievethe people of the immense
Tariff tax burden is to tint. it. nn
i
drinks and smokes Fourth, if the
tax was abolished a deficit would
occur in the Treasury. Fifth, if
abolished the tax on the common ne
cessaries of life must be continued
to the crack of doom.
MB. CARLISLE AND THE COMMIT-
' TEES.
Mr. Carlisle has arrived in Wash
ington and in poor health at present.
He is the central figure just now and
the papers have much to say of him
in connection with the seW.t.mn f
Committees. It is conceded that he
will be elected Speaker, and in ad
vance the newspapers and politicians
are arranging the committees and
selecting the Chairmen. In as much
-aa i' the Tariff and Silver questions are
uppermost ; it is very necessary that
the right men should be selected as
Chairmen of the Committees having
;""'SD mose important matters.
Mr. Carlislfl fco t. .
duuwu mmseu a
NnpAker or excellent parts bu vuS,
ready, discreet, ; fair, and - we are
quite willing to leave the matter -in
his hands. We have no doubt that
after surveying the wholeeldwhich
he is familiar with and, therefore,
understands, he wilL make judicious
selectiorls. Of course" he will not
please Disappointments . are in
evitable, and no Speaker ever satis-'
fied all. It matters not who may be
chosen - for the Silver committee,
either the' gold or silver men will
complain. And so with other im
portant committees."
Tha Northern Democratic, papers
in the East are nearly all advocates of
a gold standard, and in that particu
lar are not to be countenanced by the
friends of the old double standard.
All through the years of our conn
try's history the standard of values
has been both silver and gold.-J- But
now Democratic papers prate about
"bad"- silver money just as the or
gans of monopoly talk of it. Mr.
Carlisle will hardly shape, his course
at the dictation of such un-demo-cratio
papers. Even as old-fashioned
a paper as the Boston Post looks
with much suspicion on silver. Of
course all the Eastern papers, of both
parties will pounce upon Mr. Carlisle
if hie should dare to make Mr. Bland
chairman of the Silver Committee.
In advance mutterings are heard.
The Stab believes that Mr. Carlisle
is a politician of exceptional ability
and that ar Speaker he will try to do
what he considers best for the coun
try and best for his party in making
up his committees. We are pleased
to find the following in the Boston
Post of the 17th inst.:
"Of one thing the country may be cer
tain, that the friends of Mr. Carlisle in the
House, of Representatives are opposed to
giving any man the power which Mr. Ran
dall exercised at the last session. More
over, there is no doubt of Mr. Carlisle's
courage. He is one of the most sincere
and one of the boldest, as well as one of
the wisest men in public life. If any Con
gressman has the courage of his convic
tions it is Mr. Carlisle. There Is no man
who has oftener refused to compromise on
-questions or principle.
Mr. Carlisle knows what Demo
cratic principles are. He knows
much of the necessities of the coun
try. He remembers the pledges of
his party in the matter of reform and
he will strive to do right.

CURRENT COMMENT.
- Protectionists organs in this
country are increasing m their la
mentations over the decline of the
silk industry in free-trade England.
They prove to their own entire satis
faction that the decline of the silk
trade in England has been caused by
the mischievous polioy of free trade.
But they are at an ' utter loss when
they attempt to explain the same
trade phenomenon in " protectionist
France, the favorite home of the silk
manufacture. Mr; Peixetto, the
American Consul in Lyons, France,
has shown in a late report how great
is the decline of the silk industry in
that country. At one time France
employed upward of 1,000,000 hands,
and produced annually over one hun
dred million dollars worth of manu
factured 6ilk goods. Scarcely more
than half is the sum of the labor and
product of tho silk industry in France
to-day. This great decline is not
due to free trade, for France is twice
protected in her cheap and excellent
manufactures of silk and in her tariff
system. Phil. Record, Ind. Dem.
The Government maintains a
commodious establishment for the
President, and that official receives a
salary of $50,000 a year. But Re
publican Presidents were not content
with the provision which the Gov
ernment made for their comfort.
They selected naval vessels for tbeir
individual pleasure and had -them
"steam up" whenever they wished to
take a trip. The Presidential junket
became a feature of Republican Ad
ministrations. And when a Repub
lican "ruler" grew tired of the White
House he took up a temporary abode
in the Presidential cottage t at the
Soldiers' Home. This cottage is an
'elegant otracture aud has been kept
up in great style. By having two
houses the White House and the
house at the Soldiers' Home the
Republican President was able to im
itate the monarchs of Europe, who
live first at one palace and then at
another, as their fancy may dictate.
But the Soldiers' Home cottage was
never provided by law as a Presi
dential retreat; it was simply taken
possession of, and custom gave it a
quasi official character. But Presi
dent Cleveland desires to have the
Government return to Jeffersonian
simplicity. He does not junket, and
when he takes a trip he pays his fare
like any other citizen. And as for
the Soldiers' Home cottage, he has
never occupied it, and he never will.
He wishes to see it converted into
an infirmary for the use of the sol
diers, and this suggestion in this mat
ter will be carried into effect.

. A Sontb. Carolina Tragedy.
Charleston, S. C, Nov. 18. A
terrible tragedy was enacted in
Edgefield county to-day. A white
man named Robert Jones occupied
some land rented ay his connection's,
Charles and Edward Pressley. They
notified him that they could no
longer pay the rent, and that he must
vacate to-day. Jones went to the
field where Edward Pressley, aged
eighty, and his sons Charles and Ed
ward were ploughing, and shot
Charles dead. Edward started in
pursuit, and Jones stabbed him mor
tally with a1) knife. Jones - now re
loaded his gun and killed the father,
old Pressley, who is the grandfather
of Jones's wife. Jones then came to
the court house, entered the jail, and
surrendered, remarking that he had
killed threo of the best men in the
county.4 Jones is a Georgian, and
came to this State about six years
ago. This account is fromi News
and Courier correspondent, who
visited the scene. Another account
is that the Pressley s went to the
field where Jones was working, and
J ones killed them in self defence.
