I'c axk M'lims.jUu ?contention of the New York clergy- },a<l man may he unpopular, it is not al- '"^s together irrational. In supporting 11 his views on the subject. Mr. I'eters und shotfs that very little is accomplished ly v %kby this liberal policy, so far as any (,,'s? victual relief from the burden of taxa :""l tion is concerned. On account <>i over the exemption of church property it .vom is necessary to increase tho t ix ra'e not on other kinds of property in order h>l* 1 to raise a required amount of rove- wa'l nue, whereas if church property was phic not omitted the tax rate would lie l'olM considerably reduced. The force of this reasoning is clearly emphasized ccivi l?y the fact that church propel ty in st'" this countrv lias vei-v .nimtlw creased in value during the pa<t f.'w ?s?de years. In 1850 the ehureli property ndvji of the United States, which paid no daih tax, municipal or Sta'e, amounted to 1 $87,000,000. In 1800 tlic value of jturn this property hud increased to ! and (587,100. ' jiutl The New York divine further j nukes the point that Church and j,s Sta^e were separated hy tnc founders of the Government, and that any 1 policy which made the tax-pavers of s'"|t.t ' the country support the rli it relies iiuljo was calculated to destroy this wise Hive provision. 1^*' In further explanation of his attitude Mr. i'eters goes on to say: The churches enjoy no immunity 'j<:, from the operations of the la>vs of Go 1.
