But, in our public oxpenditures, these principles have not been carrfed os far os they ought to or might hayo been. Men are apt to be more lavish with tho money of others than with their own. For this reason, we oftenwitness, and would witness now but for the force of publlc opinion, the strange spectacle of public extravagance and privata cconomy coexlsting together. At a perfod when businesa Is dull, and every fpecles of property depressed, the trae thing to bo done is to cut off boldly every unnecessary oxpense, and to curtall 08 much as possible thoso expenses which ave unavoldable. By such course only can taxation be reduced. The re- duction of taxatfon to the utmost linit should be tlis aim of every one connccted with our public affairs. But, so far from such being the alm of vur County Commissioners, it would secm asif o contrary oplnfon wero prevalent among them., ‘Those whoso busincss or practice it {s to lve sumptuously upon the carnings of others, who pay lttle taxes themselves, but arc constantly devising schemes to plunder the community, do not realize what nulsances and dead-weights thoy are upon the public prosperity. Relief can only come from the peoplo them- selves, Tho whole brgod of harples who live upon tho blood of the people should he ex- terminated,, The importance of having only truc and able men at tho head of affalrs lins never been rated o8 it should have been. The result Lias been an aceumulation of glrantie evils, beneath the load of which the whole couns try, Tike o sicle glant, still 1s staggering., . dhlcmm mey ot bo worse ofl than are many other Americin cities, But all of our eltics aro too eevercly taxed. Were the aflairs of any city 1managed a3 wigely and methodically as aroe tho affalrs of one of ‘our leading compierclal firms, tho codt of our publie improvements would bo much less, nnd the rate of taxation materially diminished, Theregulation of our taxes should be in the linnds_of those whose intercst is that thoy should be as light oa possible. Instead of thaf they have heen generally under the control ot {rresponsible men, whose manifest Interest les {;i making the taxca as Jicavy us the peopls witl ear. It seems incrediblo that the publle should have been hoodwinked for so long.a tine. Tt (s -gtrange that they should have borne 8o pationt- ly au infliction that has been constantly grind- ng them into poverty and distress, 'The only way to account for a state of things so patent and 8o unlversal is, that the people, absorbed too much in thelr private affuirs, havo not glven to public matters that attention which thoy de- serve, and which it Is thclr duty, a8 good citl- zens, to extend to them. Conscquently, the management of our towns and citics has natur- ally fallcn into the hands of adventurers, who have used thelr n)?pnrtnnlw to eorlch thom- selves and impoverlsh the peoplo. Everybody knows that thisistruo, Swindling has becomeso cominon in hizh places, and large defulcations so numerous, that the turpldity of such offenses has no longer the forceof noyelty; men shake their heads, say but little, and pass on. But the suffering which people now ex- pl.'lrlum:o 18 greatly helping ou the causo of moral reform. We do not carc much for tho sins of others, 60 long as we do not have to pay the expenacs of our neighbors' sins, But, when our pocket is touched,~when nen actunlly reallzo that others are gotting rich, while tl mf poory—they areapt toput the oppos! and draw from them alogleal conclusion,” Then it 18 well for the plunderers aud * tax-caters’ to ' put their houses in order.”” There {5 dau- ger in the wind.
