Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Agricultural and Other Resources of the State of New York
I believe it of very great importance to be well examined by each farmer and mechanic in this State. Facts are herein embraced that cannot be too well understood by all tax payers.
It is because of their ignorance of these facts, and the conclusions drawn therefrom, that legislation is so crude and faulty.
I trust it may be the means of calling the attention of the people to the inauguration of a thorough system of statistics, for its only thereby that their best interests will be conserved in'the equalization of values for pur poses of State taxation.
I regret that I have not met with that cordial support, both by people and legislatures, in the prosecution of my labors, which the importance of the subject demands.
