low than it was sixteen months ago, whHh
shows an average monthly reduction of about
$15,400,000. The aggregate net indebtedness of
the Government was, on the 31st of August,

The National Revenue.
From the Tribune
If any one conceive that we are to meet with
out exaction of some kind the demands of an
Unprecedented national debt, this too while the
business of tbe country Is-floated by an irre
deemable paper currency, we have only to say
that he is mistaken. So, if the complaints and
Scruples of Mr. Commissioner Wells could be
briefly solved, they would mainly amount .to
this: That our debt Is large, and In some way
ire are taxed heavily to pay it; but, on the other
hand, it is because our currency Is inflated that
onr taxes are so great burdens. Granted that
certain rates of tariff and Internal taxation may
be misapplied, the force of Mr. Wells' obections
fs still against the currency. Three causes he
give for our present cmbarrasements: First,
the scarcity of labor; second, an irredeemable
currency ; third, the burdan of natioual taxes.
But, by the dritt ot his general argument, all
tin &e causes appear to merge and unite in the
fact that our currency is oad; because, in the
first place, our debt is ureal, and in the second,
because, however much our people have been
taied duectly aud indirectly, and however va.it
the amount of gold ttkeu' fro n commerce to
feed the Trta-'ury. no pan of our revenue has
yet been api.lied to redemption,
Where, then, does the fault lie T Not essen
tially. In the amojnt of our revenues, for,
accotdincr to Commissioner Welln, they .yield us
more than we want. For intance, Internal
taxation in the last fiscal year netted us over
$310,906,984, and by customs the receip.s were
over $189,046,630 in gold, which in currency
would make the total amount of revenne, by
Tarious lorms of taxa'ion, $561,572,260. These
are the Commissioner's own naures, and hence
he alduces that we have enough and to spare.
Judging merely from a revenue point of view,
the country is prosperous as it never was
before. But what are we doing with our accu
mulating surplus? Granted ibat our people
are, in some respects, sen-iblv burdeneJ with
their taxes, would these burdens be half so
much felt if tbe difference between currency
aud gold were removed from their shoulders,
or, in other words, if we right speedily em
ployed oir surplus tor redemption f
Mr. Wells' shrewd analysis ol the Influence of
the currency on prices deserves attention, first,
there is an increase in prices proportional to
the difference between Rold and silver; second,
the dealer's Insurance against fluctuation; third,
tbe advantage taken of the general unsettling
Oi values to advance prices to a degree limited
only by public eudurau je. We are pleased with
Mr." WelU' aamisfion that the currency can be
cured iar more eaily than it cau be endured.
It he complains too loudly of our taxes, we
must refer him to the currency. If he com
plains of the currency, we must refer Mm to
Wa?hineton. But we heartily agree with him
and Webster, that "ot all the contrivances for
cheating the laboring classes of mankind, noue
ha been touDd more effectual tbau thai which
deludes them with an irredeemable paper cur
rency." Apply tuU solvent truth to Mr. Wells'
sciuples concerning taxation, and it will be
plain that, however well or ill be the applica
tion of certain features of tax and tariff, oar
duty is to resume.
with Hlnrient collection, we should now bo
deriving ci'hty millions of dollars from the tax
on diattlled liuuors. A it 1, wo receive but a
in traction more than a quarter ol that
amount. The Commissioner recommends that
Supervisors of Revenue be appointed over the In
spectors, ana mar vug mi uc iwuvu w wu uvr
TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. P1IILADEL?IIIA MONDAY,
lar for the sake of a more easy collection of a
laracr revenue. It I notorious that the whisky
tax is greatly evaded; but the fault Is perhaps as
much In tbe pari bun character ot appointments
aud removal of subordinate revenue agents as
in anything else. Tho cotton tax ol three cents
per pound seems to the Commissioner quite
sufficient, and he savs: "Tbe tax may be col
lected for one or two jears. or until the aggre
gate crop ol the world shall yield a surplus of
cotton, with less Injury to the pr iductioa of
cotton in the Untied States than the collection
ot an equal amount of icvcnne would cause if
imposed upon other branches ot Industry."
There appears to be no reason in the Commis
sioners wind for an extensive change ot the
tariff, bom a revenue point of view. Thli, he
thinks, as we do, must be sought for In the
necessities of our iudutriul interests; but Mr.
Wells Is far from appreciating fully the weight
ot the arguments tor protection. Ifthepeple
are to be bcucUtcd by reductions in ceriain
articles of consumption wherein there cm be
no rivalry, the least that can be denaoded I?
that such a chau r shall enure to protect our
home interests. Tar us less for necessities, tf
Mr. Wells will; but give us more tariff for pro
tection. Lighten the load of our Internal taxes,
but be sure that our Internal interests are
fostered, multiplied, and enriched by a wise
and timely defense against foreign free trade.
In other words, Insure us something like freo
trade among ourselves, and save us from
being the slaves of middlemen aud importers,
and Irom living in the employ and at the will
ot foreign commerce. To improve our cur
rency we want protection. If Mr. Wells believes
that some oi our tariff rates sweep the mer
chants' protils into the pockets of the Govern
ment, and oiler a premium to the foreign pro
ducer, ho knows that others have unquestion
ably belied to build up our domestic manul'tc
ture. However tmnb he complains, he cannot
heli drawing an inference lavoi able to protec
tion ; and so do we.
Here it is remarkable that Mr. Wells notes the
great activity ot businesi, industrial and specu
lative; the large increase of mining and uisnu
lactuiing establishments, including tho3e lor
cotton and iron; our great progress in labor
saving invention and machineiy; the continued
Increase of foreign Imniinrailon and demand
for skilled labor. But he dwells with great
seriousness on the contrary averments, that
nr ces are oppressive and exceed the wages of
labor; that labor, especially skilled labor, Is
scarce: that more manufactures are wanted; and
that there has been a decrease of production
and consumption, aud a partial suspension of
our national development. In Massachusetts.
lor instance, a smaller number of hands are
employed than in tho year 1865; but he does
not tell us that a greater number are employed
elsewhere and In other Industries, aud pays, It
wouiii eeeui, ln.iinerenr attention to tm unset
tlements and resettlements effected by the war.
Massachusetts, let it be observed, does not re
ceive more immiirrants than other States, but
it probably sends out more emigrants ot a valu
able class. The Hrst rtu-l ol Mr. Wells' state
ment may be employed to meet the other: but
on this point we have not timo to dwell. Suilice
it tiiat, if the condition of our currency has
occasioned the ware ty of labor, while immi
gration is preaier thau in anv former year,
there is eveiy reason why we should resume.
It is plain from Mr. Wells' showing that our
manufactories have increased, and that new in
dustries have called new hands to work. The
prospect is not. therefore, so hopeless thtt a
high tariff, a wise riistribution of our taxes, and
an early resumption would not dissipate the
evils dreaded.
Tbe Commissioner's general conclusion on the
subject oi tariff, is that the duty on raw mate
rials should be reduced within the minimum of
the necessities ot the Treasury. The duty on
Canadian lumber mlpht be reduced, he thinks,
with great benefit to the country, since its only
effict has been to increase tbe price of lumber.
On the great woollen interest, he holds that tbe
wool grower wiU be best benetiied by favoring
the manufacturer; and orter showing to his own
satisfaction that the piesent depression in the
wool trade is owing in great measure to cotton,
favors a reducion ol the duties on combing
wool. This will be asrieeuble to the manu
facturer. Finally, he favors such a reduction
on raw materials as the revenue can bear. On
these points much remains to be said. For the
present, we dismiss the Commissioner's report
with the comment that it 1s elaborate, if not
satisfactory, and supplies great store ot facts, if
not alwavs of sound argument.
Congress and the Supreme Court The
Oreat Issue for the Next Presidency.
From the Herald.
The great revolution decreed by the sovereign j
people ol the United States in suppression of i
the late so-called Southern Confederacy by
force of arms is not yet accompl sued. To
make it good, to fix it in the Bupreme law oi the
land and In the administration ol our political
aflnirs, natioual and local, much yet remains to
be done. AgalnBt the consummation of this
work recents events have disclosed a formidable
barrier in the Supreme Court at Washington,
as it now stands, a relic of the past, still adher
ng to those old pernicious notions of national
subordination to State rights aud the divinity of
slavery which culminated in the Dred Scott
decision, and went down to the bottom of tbe :
sea with all the other wrecks of the Rebellion.
From present indications, theretore, the con
t'olling issue for the Lext Presidency will be
between this relic of tho past, tbis barrier to any
further progress and its supporters, on the one
side, and Congress, the Union army and navy,
and the great Union party of the war on the
other side. The result will assuredly be as
decisive in lavor ol Congressional reconstruc
tion as the late contest has been before the
people between Congress and the President; but
this otLer tight must be made to clear the track.
Between Congress and the Supreme Court, as
between Congress and the President, the issue
will have to be settled by the sovereign people.
Tbe Supreme Couit has resumed its interpre
tations of the Constitution where they were left
oil under Taney and Buchanan. It goes behind
the var, and gives us the Constitution and State
rights as tuej were preached by Jefferson under
the Inspirations ot the Jacobin French republic,
astliey were agitated by Calhoun to the verge
of tbe overt act of treason, and as they were
carried into practice by halt a million of his
armed disciples in their fate bloody conspiracy
against the Union. On the other band, Con-
f ress has assumed to net upon the theory that
he Constitution as expounded by Judge Taney
is no longer the Constitution ol the United States,
and t bat State rights,a preached by Calhoun and
put into practice by Jeff. Davis, have beon swept
away with the Rebellion, khall Ihe opinions of
a baie majority of these nine old superannuated
petti'oggers ol tbe supreme Court, lelt to the
country as the legacy of the old defjnut South
ern slaveholding oligarchy, prevail, or shall
these old marplots make way tor the will of the
sovereign people and the national Constitution
as expounded by Washington and Hamilton, and
as extablished by a millionof Union bayonets in
a tour years' civil war? This i tbe great ques
tion for 1868.
In this contest we take our position by the
side of Congress the law-making; power, the
sovereign controlling department ol tne national
Govrrnment, upon which all other departments
are dependent.iand to which they are all sub
ordinate, president, supreme judires, every
officer of thejtiovernaient of every department,
may be impeached and removed by Congress;
but Congress ittelt cannot bi touched except by
the sovereign people. It is cot improbable,
however, that, presuming too far upon their
judicial i'uuctious, the old Bourbous and
thoroughly Calhounized Judees of ths present
tSnpreuie Court may thrust tnemselves between
Conprets and the pending Constitutional amend
ment. In tact, they have done so to some extent
already in their late Milli&an decision. What
then? Why theut what with the old wag song
of the Constitution aud State rights, resumed by
Northern Copperheads, and what with the
clamor ot Wendell .Phillip and the Northern
nigger worshippers running to the opposite
extiemes, inoludii g a hue and cry for tbe Pre
sident's Impeachment, it is manifest tnat there
must be a dead lock in this Southern work of
, . . ;. . . ; t-I
reconstruction, which will necessarily have to
be removed by the Mvrroign people Id the elec
tion ot Oir next President.
How will parlies stand in this conflict! Sub
stantially as they tood In the late September,
October, and November electiona. The Union
party ol the war, the parly ot Congress, and of
Southern reconstruct! n will carry the country.
Nr S'de Issues in all tho mighty North will bo
p l muted to sh ike tho solid front or tne sove
reipn people. Congress and the war will still
be Histalned by tbem, and the President elected
In 1818, cordially co-operating with Congress in
lMi9, will speedily brush away the old State
HeIiU obstructions of the Supreme Court. Thus,
with the Court and the Executive in perfect
harmony with Coneress, the work of reconstruc
tion will rapidly be made complete, consistent
with the new dispensation, and solid and endur
ing. Accordingly, let Congress so shape its
course as to make the great issue for tho next
Trei-idencv a reconstruction ot the Supreme
Cot rt,aD4l any respectable reconstruction ticket
will sweep the field. We are as well convinced
ol this as that the great Union party ot the yvar
is fixed, and will bland inflexible in its resolution
to prove to the world that its war for the Union
has not been a failure.
OBITUARY.
AublnXouls Iledouln de Pons L,udore.
The French papers announce the recent death
of tnis eccentric chat actor. He was the son of
one ol the judces of the tribunal of tho Marshals
ol France, and wus the last of the family of the
great Cobett. He wa a linguist, archiuologt't.
and Roographer, and assisted Maltoin compiling
his "Annales des Voyages." being ot a m t
unique cast ol countenance, and wearlua a most
picturesque costume, he became an obiect of
public curiosity.
Hiy attire consisted of a gica'-eoatof coarse
yellow cloth, with two rows of tho large bu'.tons
of tbe old Pompiers of tbe Rational Guard; a
huge old-fasli n.ned striped waistcoat, tfhieh
concealed In the depths o its pocket a wafch and
trinkets: trowsers of coarse grey cloth, open at
the sides and butioned near tbe ankle; blue
stockings, shoes much woru, which hid never
known polish: on h s bead a cap of faded velvet,
the peak always at the side; his long hair tell
over his shoulders in thick shining ringlets, and
in his hand he carried a crooked walkiuc stick,
of the time of the first republic. Notwithstand
ing this eccentr city, however, he was a man of
fine talent, and, had he directed his genius pro
perly, would have become famous.
