out vrte abatements now allowed, via: 8*ot>oo 1,
paragraph £.' f tbeam-udaiorj aot of 14 b of June
1864, wii'ch provides that tbe value o the tax lo
kind shall be deducted from tbe ad valorem lex on
agricultural prOi>ert>: aod section 8. paragraphs
of the same aot, which provides that the property
tax shall be deJnotad from tbe Income lax By
this chsnse tbe desirsd amount of revenue will be
sreured.and he prominent Inequalities of taxa-
tion. now the sabjeet ot complaint, will bo re-
dressed.
Tbe tax in klod being ten per c*nt., aod Its value

aud tbe assessed value ol tbe property ir >m whi-b
these produetious are derived oeiog 8 9 10,75^ 778

000,000, is equal to fifty per eent. of tha assessed
value of tbe property. Henoe, an agricultural
estate of ibe value of loo (too, sublect loan ad
valorem tax of 3,000, yielded a groas Income of
5a.000 Tbe tUbe of this income (5 000) paid the
property tax,and left uiidimlnisneo 45.0)0 of In
oime. Tb's result ea« the consequence of valu-
ing the |/roperty for taxatlou in specie, and tbe
prodaetlons received iu paymaot of tha tax In
ourreuoy. Iln tne property been valned io tbe
medium In which tbe t<x was psj a^,o, ihe assets
