The present system of taxation in Nottb Carolina is very unequal in its operation, sod to that extent it is unfair and nnjunt. There is now before the people of the State proposition to change the Constitution and existing ltwa, ao as to make the taxes equal. The prosent system is equal in both its impositions and examptions the sd valorem system bow proposed ia to prod ooe an exact equality in both these respects. This is not a proposition to increase the taxes of the State, it is simply a'pioposition to equalize them soas to make every man boar the burden of taxation io proportion to his ability. The justness of this system is founded upon the idea that tho protection of the Grovernment and the law being extended equally to every man's property, the value of the protection is io proportion to the value of the property protected.

It amouota to a proposition coining from CTcry eitiseo of the State to every other citizen. If you will spree to pay a tax for the support of the Government in proportion to the value of your property, I will agree to pay a tax in proportion to tho value of mine." A proposal Mr. Holdcn, in the N. C. Standard of 20th Juno, says it was necessary for the Democratic party to pass this very law.

What! mechanics, overseers, pays heavy tax on their wages f. A. Ycj; a mechanic making $500 pays $5 on. his wages and 80 cents on bis poll. A stare me.

chanic working at the sumo bunch, making $500, corporation, or other trading Company, vessel or steamboat, pays 4 per cent, on the dividond or profit dqrived. If the average profit bo 6 per cent, than 11,000 would pay $2.40. If the dividend is mora tho tax is correspondingly increased. The last Comptroller's report shows that was collected from 81,802,795 of salaries and fees made by doctors, lawyers, clerks, mechanics in the work shops, overseers, officers of banks sod other In othor words, these classes of the community are made to contribute of $1,000 made by them from their labor the sum of $10.

Some arc required to be listed, others not listed. The clerk is to look out for a part, the sheriff for another.

One piece of property is taxed specifically, another according to value, another according to profit. The whole of this complicated system is committed for its execution, to those, who though small in value that tjie expenses of collection will be more than the tax. Q. But the Democrats say jou intend to abolish or decrease tho tax on the circus, on exhibitions, on pedlars, on liec.ises.to retail, and such things; is that true? A. That is not true.

Such things are not taxed as property but as privileges or licenses tho Legislature will still have full power over these Just so all as banks, might be taxed forthe exclusive privileges granted them.
