Oil looking into statistica, we learn
that the property, real and personal
-.f t Ie Umf1ed States, as ItssCsdLl in
1870 for liirposes of taxation, was
vainled at $14,178,986,732... On this
I.sses'sneut there wati it'viod for State
pu poies the1- num of $68,051,209, be.
Aig nearly .1.45 mills on the d dlar.
In Soutih Carolinia the assessed vau I m
or 1870 was .$183,13,337, upon
xhich there wau levied, for Etatv
murpo.)Oe5, a tax of 9 mills on the
follar : that being nearly 10 per
en. higher than the average levy
t the United States. But the real
'alue of property in the United
states for 1870 is given at $30,068,.
18,50'7 ; being more than double the
9-4 2s.ed value, upon which valuation
he tax collected for State purp.c:i
.iounted to only $2 26, tay 2.- in iis
nII tIe dollar. In douth Carolina
ho real value . is put for 1870 at
208,46,989, whioli, instead of be.
'g double the asse'saed value, as was
lie cast in the United States taken
t thu aggregate, was only a fractioi
'-re ts;:n 13 per . ent. above the
Lse-sed value ; and dpon this vitit.
ion there wvas collected, according
i ste censub report, a tax, Iutilitttit
