From Geneva Gazette 24 May 1867

Income Returns for Seneca & Phelps - We have carefully compiled from the books of the U. S. Ass't Assessor, (H. C. Schell), the income returns reported and entered to date of residents of his division, comprising towns of Seneca and Phelps. The following meager list is "a true copy of the said original."

This list affords food for reflection, and is suggestive of certain startling facts. It is more remarkable even for names and figures omitted than for those it contains. Out of at least fifteen hundred families of these, the two (reputed) most wealthy towns of Ontario County, we have the beggarly account of one hundred and forty, or about eleven per cent thereof, whose annual gains from all sources exceed $1000 ! How do the rest live? How do many of them manage to sustain large establishments -- to have their "men servants and their maid servants," their horses and carriages, to indulge in all the high-priced luxuries of life, in food, fluids and raiment -- spend the summer in fashionable watering places, and the winter in a round of pleasures in the Metropolis -- and all on a thousand dollars a year ! Can it be possible that many are trespassing upon the earnings and capital accumulated in past years to maintain this style of living? Taking the above statistics as a correct basis of the results of all investments and enterprises, do they not show that under radical rule in the State and Nation, not only the poor but the reputedly rich are becoming poorer, and that the whole population are rapidly drifting towards bankruptcy?

Of course, we must not suppose for a moment that any one has committed perjury by swearing to false returns for the purpose of evading taxation. In your mind's eye, run over the directory of business men in Seneca and Water streets, and the capitalists of Main street -- repeat the names one by one of the good christians and "loyalists" which do not appear in the above list -- men who have been constantly prating for the last few years of duty to "support the government" -- who have defended the financial system of exempting the holders of government bonds from taxation -- and can it be thought for a moment that those men would try to evade a practical "support," by stretching the conscience on the subject of income ! Oh, no ! They are poor -- very poor -- these merchants, manufacturers, lawyers, speculators, and gentlemen of leisure, and are proper subjects for commiseration !
