Aowng Tor no increase in the value of manufactures

The products of the forest included in this state

DOLLARS TO pay which would only require average tax
OF about two cents every dollar of the annual pro

severely felt than at any other time as the
value of the products is increasing from year to year
rapidly that corresponding reduction in the rate Of
taxation would take place. until the of each

With population nearly double that of this country
with debt amounting to ooO averaging $54 to
each inhabtant-with annual taxes ten times greater
than those Of any delinquent State in this Union-we ud

ritories are weighed down by aggregate debt OF only

promptly pay the interest a debt three times this
amount and yet the inhabitants allow their creditors to
suffer- year after year. for the want Of what is their Just
due.
