SOKE FACTS ABOUT THE IN TER--V'vVf
: HAURETESUE. ..."..-..
' The" Democrats of North Carolina
' demand the" abolition ' of the internal
revenue taxes. They demand it be-,
cause these taxes are not required for
, the support of the Government, and
they demand it because the system Is a
hateful one to the people, and in direct
Antagonism to Democratic principles.'
The late commissioner stated, in his
- last report that, in six years, nearly
seven hundred and 'fifty millions of
dollars (or in exact figures 5743334.081)
. , had been collected out of the pockets
.of the people under this system. " - -j
." There are four thousand persons em
ployed In and under the Internal revfrf
nae' bureau. There are 126 collectors,
whose salaries range from '. 82A25 to
84,500 a year. There 'are 076 deputy
collectors, whose salaries . range from
8100 to S300, and under these colleo-
' tors and deputy collectors there are 190
employes of different kinds, whose pay
ranges from $100 to $1,700 a year; : Be
sides these there are 867 gangers and
, 1,552 storekeepers whose pay is from
; lis to $5 per day., To all these are to be
added the 2& clerks and employes in
u the Oomlnissipner's office in Washing
ton, whose aggregate pay amounts to
8300,000 a year. The total cost of the
internal revenue bureau is over five
millions of dollars a year. - The persons
employed in It are an organized corps
of political workers In behalf of . the
administration upon which they are
dependent, . and their power is felt in
every election, in the Southern States
especially. This is another reason in
addition, to those already given, why
the Democrats of North Carolina want
the Internal revenue abolished. The
few Democrats who are opposed to
abolishing it give as reasons for their
opposition that it would necessitate
' keeping up a very high tariff that the
Republicans are tkeref ore in fay or of
it and that we' would be playing into
their hands by ' abolishing it. Neither
of these allegations is true. A tariff
for revenue, with incidental protection,
will supply the needs of the 'treasury.
The Republicans do net favor the abo
lition of the system, as their conduct
during the last session of Congress
abundantly proves. They claimed to
have reduced the amount to be collect
ted by one-fourth,- but they did not
provide for a reduction of the number
of collectors, deputies, guagers, store
keepers and other employes of the bu
reau. On the contrary, the Commis
sioner, while recommending a redno
i tiou of - nineteen millions in the taxes,
i asked Congress for an. Increase of over
a hundred thousand dollars, for the ex
venses of his office. There has been a
good deal of talk about the consolida
tion of revenue districts, but the con
solidation has not yet . been made, and
when made will only reduce the num
ber by thirty, and these thirty will not
he in the South where the services of
the officials will be needed In the next
camnalen. but in the East and West
where they can be spared without In
jury to the Republican party. The
amount of taxes collected will be large
ly reduced, but the expenses of collect
ing will be about the same, and the
force engaged will , be kept where it
will "do the most good" next year. 1
Granting -all", that can be said about
the evil and injustice of a high tariff,
and of imposing taxes on necessaries,
while removing them from luxuries,
we still demand - the abolition of the
. internal reveSue system, because it in
volves greater evils, and more oppret-
slon, and is contrary to the true princl
' pies of . the Democratic party and hate
ful to the people j ; . .I

Whfle: the ' remarkable increase of
manufacturing industries in the South
attracts attention, the fact has been
V overlooked that in the pursuit pf agri
culture she is also" making ' gratifying
progress. According to a carefully pre

; tural products of the fourteen Southern
States in" 1882, in the Manufactufer's
f. Record, published in Baltimore It Is
shown .that while the increase ioithe

By a report of the Director of the
Mint, just published, the yield of the
mines of the United States for 1&32
was:
Gold 33200.000

Compared

gold and an
silver.
The comparative decline in the pro
duction of gold was greater iu Califor
nia than in any other State or Terri
tory, the yield being S 1.400.000 less than
in 1881." This resulted from the inter
ruption of hydraulic mining in the
northern and middle counties of the
State, owing to litigation, and also from
falling off in the production of the
quarts mines at Bodie. In Oregon,
where the mining is chiefly placer,
there was a diminution, and also in
Nevada. Idaho and Dakota, .
- In silver the prlocial Increase was
in Idaho, Montana and New Mexico,
Idaho showing an Increase of S7OOJ00O,
Montana- S 1.740,000, and New Mexico
SlvKWXM. Colorado furnished about
Soo,000 less silver than in 18SL.
Of 'the bullion production of the
country, 93004,058 of gold and 31,400.
072 of silver were deposited at the
mints and assay offices for coinage or
return in bars to depositors.
Of the deposits of cold S5.60040awere
paid 'in bars for manufacturing pur
poses, and the remainder went into
coinage ; 81400.000 were furnished by
private refineries for manufactocers
use, and there was antexportjof S1UJ00O
contained in silver bars.
Of the total silver production 915.
750,000 were exported.- $5,004,000 furn
