The Revolution, Woman’s Right
organ accuses Greeley in the follow
ing plaintif terms:
A day or two after Mr. Greeley de
livered his report against Woman’s
Suffrage in the New York Constitu
tional Convention, Mrs. Greeley sent
up a petition, headed by herself, from
the ladies of her town, demanding the
ballot. How ungallant you were, Mr.
Greeley, not only to your wife, but to
the thousands of other fair ladies that
followed her example!
The city of New York returns as
heavy an income tax as the States of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
and Massachusetts combined, more
than six times as much as Rhode Is
land, nearly three times as much as
Philadelphia or Boston, and 10 per
cent, more than the whole great State
of Pennsylvania. The aggregate re
turns for the whole United States for
1866-07 exhibit a falling off of $3,380,-
437 since the previous year; but the
returns for the city of New York in
the same time show an increase of
$13,633,373. The State of New York,
outside the city, returns about two
millions less than it did a year ago.
The great agricultural regions of the
West exhibit a decrease of twenty
four millions. Philadelphia losses
$10,000; Pittsburg and Buffalo more
than $2,000,000 each ; Brooklyn and
St. Louis over $1,2000,000 each; the
middle States $27,000,000.
