ZYfoun. lie must U ft ver brazen, nperfluom raaoal, and quite as muoh fool as knave, who goes brawling about-"I owe A. B. five thou sand dollars, and I mean to cheat him out of every cent of it." Yon seldom meet one silly enough Ihua to expose himself. The far more usual and politio way is to "beat him on the exeontlon" that is, contost the justioe of the oreditorVi claim, and, if beaten in Court, hare nothing whereon the Sheriff can levy to Satisfy the demand. The careless public is then left at liberty to infer first, that the alleged debtor don't really owe; or, seoonily, that he can't pay. We have no fear that this'American people will ever proclaim to the world that it has re solved not to pay its honest debts. Yet the end of non-payment may be reached by the simple device of taking off tax after tax until the residue will not suffice to support the Gov ernment and pay the accruing interest on the na tional debt. Then comes in the popular swindle of issuing indetiuite millions of greenbacks on purpose to debauch the currency beyond re covery and compelling the publio creditors to take them, or nothing, for the principal as well as interest of their demands. That will nearly finish the job. The last Congress most improvidently, in our view, remitted and reduced taxe3 to the amount of not less than one hundred millions per annum, and we have consequently all but stopped paying off the principal of our debt. Let us persist in paying at least one hundred millions per annum, and we might soon fund our remaining indebtedness in a non-taxable consol at four per cent., reducing the interest by at least thirty millions per annum. A publio debt steadily diminishing can hardly fail to appreciate rapidly in value. And, as most of our debt is redeemable at the pleasure of the Government after it has run five years, it is praotically within control at any moment. If there were no other objection to the repudia tion dodges now current, the fact that they preolude the conversion of our l-'ive-twentins into five and four per cents, would be their sufficient condemnation. Congress will soon reassemble, and will be met at the threshold with importunities to abolish, this, that, and the other tax. The cot ton tax. is especially the object of malignant Rebel assault, as though it were a military contribution levied as a punishment rather than ' a. resource. The manufacturers are Striving for a repeal of the tax of five per cent, on all textile fabrics produced in power looms. The importers want the tariff cut down; the liquor men protest that the tax on their product is exorbitant, etc From all sides, the cry is reduce this impost, abolish that excise, and so on. If these clamors prove potent, repudiation is inevitable. We trust, therefore, that Congress will make haste slowly, and repeal no tax without knowing precisely how the vacuum thus created will be filled. If the cotton tax can be spared, we hope it will be remitted; but those who clamor for its removal will dis cover that the consuming publio pays a good part of it that it doe3 by no means fall exclu sively on the ootton-grower, as fchey assume. As to the whisky tax, it was imposed under the influence of powerful "rings" of specula tors, who had bought up most of the liquor iu the country, and then prompted the imposi tion of 80 high a tax in order to fill their own pockets by selling their whisky at an enor mous profit. We presume quite as much reve nue would have been realized from au excise of $1, or even 50 cents per gallon, as from $2; but the monopolizing speculators would have pocketed far less. And now, if means can be devised for insuring the collection of 50 cents per gallon, we shall gladly see the impost re duced to that rate. We only insist that the revenue must not suner by the change. The manufacturers, like the merchants, have seen hard sledding this year. They have operated on a steadily declining market; so that the goods they have made have often sold lor less than the naked cost of their produo tion. The instr ices are not rare in which the fabrio produoed brought less than the raw material cost. Hence many concerns have stopped work; some have failed; very few have realized fair profits. But this is the for tune of war; they generally made money when prices were going up, and must be content to lose when they go down. In spite of a high tariff on imported and a heavy excise on do mestic fabrics, we believe our farmers are now buying substantial cotton and woolen fabrics cheaper that is, more yards of cloth for fewer bushels of grain than they did ten years ago. But cotton and wool are now cheap as well as fabrics; and we presume next year's business will be better than this year's Las been. We trust Congress will abolish or reduce no tax without a moral certainty that the reve nue willBtlll suffice to meet every just de mand on the Jtreasury and continue the reduc tion of tjhia, tia'tio'hal dyM, if We can reduce the national expenditures, let us devote all that can tbuSwiei. saved to paying off debt, until the residue may be funded at five, if not four per cetjU,ni, Repndlatlouiind ' IsAatlon A Uuestlon tfeU Must Mat.

Indement they present no Insuperable bstaole. General Butler, on the other hand, deals with the question as one of legal oonstruotlon. lie holds that the country has not covenanted epeoifloally to pay in gold, and may, therefore, pay with paper, leaving altogether out of sight the effect of his interpretation upon the vol rime of currency. Mr. Tbaddeus Btevens does not Stop at this point. He plants himself squarely on the 1'endleton platform, lie calls for relief from the taxation entailed by the bonds and from the contraction carried on by the Treasury under the law. And what he deems it expe dient to do he insists may be done without injustice to the bondholders. He would, therefore, discbarge the debt as quicky as pos sible, and would issue the amount of paper necessary to attain that end. In the shape which General Butler gives to the question, it scarcely demands discussion. The fallacies of bis argument and its incom patibility with national good faith have re ceived all the notice they require; for hii interpretation of the bend and the law has not necessarily any practical bearing upon the coime of the Government. If the pay ment of the bonds were now imperative if tliey had reached maturity and must be met with coin or currency the employment of one or the other might be a matter of legitimate debate. But no obligation of this nature exists. The bonds have not ma tured. The Government is not called upon to pay them off. And by adhering to the present policy of Mr. McfJulloch, we may ht-pe that the whole subject will be settled prior to the maturity of the debt by the resumption of specie payments. There is no object in discusuing the terms of the bonds when there is a prospect of being able to pay in paper as good as gold before they bei onie due. The Stevens-Pendleton plan does not admit of the same easy treatment. It is immediately dangerous, because appealing to the selfish ness of that large portion of the community who chafe under the oppressiveness of taxa tion. By one stroke it proposes to largely re duce taxation, and so to benefit struggling in dustry and depressed trade. Bv another it seeks to revive the speculative activity of the war period to make money plentiful and to inaugurate an era of inllation, compared with which the inllation we now have would be as nothing. A circumstance which imparts unpleasant significance to the latter feature of the scheme is the prevalence of a strong feeling in favor of inllation throughout the West. We have recently shown that Western opinion favors further issues of currency, and that Republi can and Democrat alike sail with the current. It is true that no Republican journal of any pretension lends countenance to inflation on the monstrous scale recommended by Mr. Ste vens and Mr. Tendleton. But the difference is one of degree merely. A few hundred mil lions more or less would make little difference if the process were begun. The error and the mischief would be substantially the same; for if the principle be admitted that relief may be had by deferring indefinitely specie payments, and meanwhile issuing paper as a means of stimulating speculation, what guarantee have we that Mr. btevens' point will not be at last reached ? To secure safety, all further inlla tion must be prevented at the outset. Every step in that direction will be a step towards bankruptcy. The proper antidote to so much of the infla tion plan as relates to relief from taxation, will be found in the adoption of prompt and large reforms by Congress. The present system of taxation, crude, unjust, oppressive, as it is, is an incentive to repudiation. And if this disgraceful calamity is to be averted, the party in power must use their opportuni ties to lighten the load 01 labor, aui lessen the burdens which now crush commerce and render enterprise all but impossible. The statesmen must do their duty or the dema gogues will prevail. Taxation, the National Debt aud the Currency. From the N. Y. Herald. We are more heavily taxed in this country than the people of any other country in the world. Not even those nations of Europe which have been piling up enormous national debts for centuries, through ambitious and dy nastic wars, and which have to support expen sive monarchical governments and privileged aristocracies, are burdened as is this young re public. The national debt of England is larger than that of any other nation; but ours is not less weighty, because the interest is much higher. But when we take into aocount the debts of the several States, the counties, and the cities and towns, in addition to the debt of the Federal Government, the burden is mucn heavier and the taxation far greater. We used to boast of our cheap Government, and point to the people of Great Britain, weighed down with taxation, Dy way 01 siriKing contrast. Now, however, our taxes in the aggregate are for each individual nearly n not quite as much as the people of England have to bear; and almost all this mountain of debt has been accumulated within seven years. The question which the American people will soon ask which, in fact, they begin to ask is, how has it happened that such an enormous debt was contracted t Admitting the necessarily vast expenses of a war uu paralleled in history, we still cannot shut our eyes to the fact that other nations have had wars of vast magnitude and of much longer duration without creating anything like such a debt. Well might Mr. Btevens say, in his remarkable letter, "we have thrown away our billions and are still throwing away millions by mismanagement. " Seven years or less of radical Republican rule has piled up a debt in the aggregate of four thousand millions of dollars. Expensive as the war was, there was no necessity for creatine a debt one-half or a third as large as this. History furnishes no example comparable with such ignorance, corruption, aud mismanagement in national finances as the party in power has exhibited. Mr. Chase inaugurated this frightful system of finance, and Mr. Mocuiioon and his other friends and supporters have continued to carry it out. Not only did they create unnecessarily a stupendous debt while the war lasted, but they have kept up the burden since by reck less and extravagant legislation. They have civea u the most ruinous and costly inturual Tevenue' sybtem to support an army of parti san office-holders, and then have permitted .hands upon the Government to the amount of hundreds of millions. Thev have esta- Vljuked a tnilitary.despoism in the South that will cosi auoUier , hundred millions at least, In the end. vprobablwi several hundred and .millions .muwnfi, .They have giwrn tts the infamous tioTi;Rnk fcvitem, whtuh'- rpba the people IrUfecUjIof twenty'-five' th ;fl.fvtv ,. millions a year. The . . i4T .!W!,A,.)tlii aUiin and utmieronsntncallod- nave biouu umier moiu to long, and the people of this country cannot bear them niuuu longer. If we look to history we shall see that nearly all great revolutions have been caused by unjust or oppressive taxation, 1 ouch t lie pockets of the people, tax them beyond mea sure, call upon the laboring masses for the product of their sweat and labor to maintain an extravagant Government, and there will surely be a revolt. In arbitrary or monarchi cal Governments there will be insurrection or a bloody revolution; under a popular Govern ment like ours the revolution wid be effected at the ballot-box. Our own glorious Revolu tion was the result of unjust and oppressive taxes imposed by the imperial Government of ureal I5ritain. I be first great revolution an l succeeding revolutions in France sprang mainly from like causes, ho it has been in England aud other countries throughout all history, and even as far back as the revolt of the ten tribes of Israel under Jeroboam, because the yoke of Rehoboam was too heavy to be borne. Can any one be so short sighted, then, as not to see that the Americans must soon revolt at the oppressive taxation now imposed upon them f A people who make their own laws by representa tives chosen every two years will not long endure extravagant and oppressive legislation. And if any moneyed oligarchy, in the shape of national banks, bondholders, or privileged capitalists, think that they have the power to control legislation, and endeavor to do so, they will find out their mistake. Should these classes selfishly push their own interests against the interests and sentiments of the people, they may come out of the contest seri ously damaged. There is no desire on the part of the American people to repudiate the debt, but should the bondholders attempt to force specie payments before the weight of the debt be removed, and thereby perpetuate the debt and the burden of taxation, publio sentiment may take a shape that will make their securi ties less valuable than they are. We warn them to beware of pushing their selfish inte- tests too far. The taxpayers and the laboring masses are the governing power in this country. lhe first and paramount object Is to esta blish au economical Government in place of the recklessly extravagant one we have, and to both reduoe taxation and pay off the bulk of the debt while we have an abundant cur rency. The national bank circulation should be withdrawn, greenbacks issued in its plaoe, and with these three hundred millions of the interest-bearing bonds be bought up and can celled. This would save twenty-five millions a year in current money, and would give us at the same time a uniform currency. If the business of the country can bear a greater cir culation without unduly inflating prices, a further issue might be made, and more of the interest-bearing debt be cancelled. At all events, we ought to have a uniform legal- tender currency instead of the miserable .mixed currency now afloat. Archibald Ali son, m writing upon British finance and currency, mokes a suggestion that might be useful to follow. He suggests two kinds of currency paper and the precious metals the first, in fact, to be the money of the country, legal tenders, and the latter to be a reserve for conversion in a way similar to that which exists in the case of the Bank of England. The precious metals nowhere are a suilicient currency for business purposes. Even in England, and in all specie-paying countries and times, by far the largest amount of busi ness is done through paper, through bank or private notes. The paper issues of the Gov eminent, properly regulated, would only take the place of these, while they would be money in lact as substantial as the Government it sou. We are now in a position to establish an inde pendent American system of finance and cur rencv suited to our own condition, and not tying ourselves down to the errors, or what is unsuitable in the old systems, of Europe. The time has come when we should do this. It is going to be the great and absorbing question beiore the people and for statesmen to study.
