THIRD TARTY AGITATIONS.
from the X. J'. UeraUL
Every day we find in our exchanges edito
rial articles upon wh.it is called the "Third
party movement." What the precise move
ment is, who is at its bond, or gives it its
blood, pulse, and brains, is not easily dis
cernible. In one paper it seems to be based
upon the nomination of Chief Justice Chase
to the Presidency, and all sorts of dove-tailing
processes are given, showing how certain
democrats with easy consciences can be made
to coalesce with certain radicals with no con
sciences at all, all culminating in the grand
climax of Chase's nomination and triumphant
election. It is evea broadly hinted that
Father Chase has winked at these doings; that
in Maryland and Virginia, and in other parts
of the South, he has given his
consent and encouragement to these opera
tions; but when all things seem to bo working
smoothly in favor of this third party Chase
programme, lo! and behold, the learned Chief
tJu.'.tice writes a letter to a friend in St. Louis,
in which he says: "I am out of all future
political contests, and no one need be jealous
of me hereafter." Here, then, unless the
,ludge is coming the "pity-me, Harvey dodge,
which was so successfully practised by Sey
mour iu obtaining the Democratic nomina
tion, Chase may be counted out of the ring
altogether, and this one third party phantom
dissolves into thin air. And then another
third party is proposed in the Southwest, to
be composed of Democrats and conservative
republicans; but here the Republican doctrine
of consolidation comes in contact with the
Democratic doctrine of State rights, nnd
iu the conllict another nice little third party
scheme is knocked in the head. There
is also a third party temperance move
ment, organized iu New England; but while
it seems to be in a hopeful condition in
the State of Maine, with its (rood Templar
lodges as recent auxiliaries, it is well nigh
collapsed in Massachusetts from feavs of the
defection of a large portion of the Republican
vote. There is likewise a third party labor
movement pretty well established in the East
and West: iu Massachusetts it is said to have
a secret organization numbering fifty thou
sand voters. Still another third party notion
has just been aired iu South Carolina,
which is described as a cry to the Demo
crats of that State to reorganize as a conserva
tive Republican party, so that "the virtue of
Carolina may be introduced into the Republi
can ranks and fright away with the dignity of
purity its elements of weakuess and vice."
All of which sounds very pretty, but it is all
empty jingle. The South Carolina Democrats
are as likely to atliliate with the imps of dark
ness as they are with those other dark-minded
imps, the Northern Republican party, the after
birth of the vicious and hated abolition party
of old times. Therefore that third party plan
may be considered as blown to the winds.
Last, but not least, a grand national tem
perance Sanhedrim is now being held in
Chicago, in which Gerrit Smith figures con
spicuously, and in which another third party
movement upon a large and comprehensive
scale, with "Prohibition" as its corner-stone
and cap stone, is contemplated a movement
supported by Gerrit Smith and other great
temperance lights, but opposed by others
cciually influential. Therefore even this third
party movement, strongly supported as it is,
meets with opposition in the house of its kin
dred, and will probably collapse. It is and will
continue to be so with every attempt to start
a new party so long as the political situation
remains as it is at the present moment. Such
movements and agitations at this time are
perfectly absurd the silliest chimeras of vain
and addle-brained political tyros. They will
remain such so lone as General Grant holds
the destinies of the country iu his hands,
His discretion has won for the General the
position of the foremost man in the country
His popularity has been tested during his
lately extended tour among the people, who
have everywhere received him with testimo
nials of respect and confidence, ne gains
strength every day, and has become so far
committed to a policy of peace and modera
tion that it is difficult to arouse any formida
ble feeling of opposition to himself or to his
administration.
The unterrified Democratic party is the only
party possessing any degree of vitality that
can be arrayed at this time, and probably for
the next seven or eight years, against Gene
ral Grant and his platform of common sense.
llut even the Democracy are ill a muddle.
' They are fighting among themselves, the prize
being the chairmanship of the National Execu
tive Committee one faction claiming it for
the German Democratic element in the
person of August Belmont, who has nine
mints of the law in his favor, being already
in possession, and the other for the Irish
Democratic element in the person of William
M. Tweed, who represents the Irish masses
comprising the bulk of the sturdy and
steady Democracy of the country, and espe
cially of the city of New York. Tammany
Hall wields the sceptre over all the Demo
cratic hosts, and its power is becoming more
and more puissant every day. It will soon
necome
ne as potential as the power of the Al-
l ogency wasin ; its palmiest days. This,
tany
iroui ail tlie signs of the times iust now. is
the only purty General Grant will have to op
pose his unobstructed walk over the Presi
dential course in 1872, and all third party
agitations intended to impede his progress
are the sheerest folly and nonsense, and all
Presidential aspirants in opposition to him
should understand that fact and stand aside
without a further wasting of breath or spend
ing of money.
WILL PRIM PLAY HIS KING ?
From the X. r. Tribune-.
It is iust about n year since General Prim
paid his former visit to Vichy, and took occa
sion to make a call in Paris. He is now in
Vichy again, and has also been makina a call
in Paris. Immediately after his former visit
came the Spanish revolution which opened
se magnificently, and of which Prim was the
hero. What is to come of the present trip to
Franca ? Nobody has ever doubted that when
Prim went there last year he went to have a.
final talk with Louis Napoleon concerning tho
enterprise on whioh Spain was about to em
Lark. No one can doubt that Prim is llnw
seeking counsel as to the future of that enter
nrise which becim with so brilliant a suena
and looks already if as it were doomed to sink
into a disastrous failure.
What has been the history of Spain during
the oast twelve months r She has been
ti i 111 & f
most like tnai --oar wuuuui imoi in a
cnrmv sea." to which Dante, in a memorable
nassaae. likens the Italy of his day. The new
L,-w hardly know whether to call it
monarchical or republican has been engaged
oi.,, uince it first came into existeuce in
milrinrr down insurrections. The streets of
treat cities have run red with the blood of
insurgents. One sometimes would hardly
have Inown that Isabella was not still on tha J
Intone, with O'Donnell or Narvaoa an hor
Minister. There have been republican insur
rections, priestly insurrections, Isabella in
surrections, Carlist insurrections. The Inst,
if report speaks true, have been sup
pressed with a sanguinary sharpness
almost worthy of the hands which cruslie 1
the Loja movement eight or nine years ago,
when even Narvaez himself (to be snro, he
was not then in office) rose up in the Senata
nnd protested against the superfluous slaugh
ter. Spain has, at the presont moment, at
least six or seven political parties actively nnd
fiercely striving for supremacy republicans,
unionists, progressists, monarchists, and the
factions which should, perhaps, be called con
spiracies rather than parties, the Isabellinas,
the Carlists, and the other bands nnd gangs
which aim at seizing the throne for this or
that Rourbon. The Carlist attempt seems,
indeed, to have been stamped out for the
present; but the measure is said to find
great favor among the priesthood, in whoso
eyes Prim and his collengues are no better
than the henthen. Added to all this
is, of course, the Cuban difficulty. The
Spanish Government have gone so far in en
deavoring to suppress the rebellion in Cuba
that they feel their dignity compromised if
they do not persist; "retarning is as tedious
ns go o'er." In this condition of things it is
no wonder that Prim seeks counsel of some
one; but if the Emperor Napoleon be his
oracle he is in worse plight than Pyrrhus whon
lie trusted to the double-tongued prophecy.
Perhaps the result of the consultation will
be that Prim, when he gets home, will lot the
king out of the bng the king whom every
body scorns convinced that he has been keep
ing tightly fastened up for production at a
convenient moment. With the public presen
tation of this king, whoever he may happen
to be, will come, we venture to think, a de
cisive struggle between the republican prin
ciple and monarchy in Spain. There certainly
is no man living who could reconcile the an
tagonism of contending parties and induce
the national voice of Spain to cry hail to his
sovereignty. We attach no importance to
the report set going by a Parisian paper,
which points to Marshal Serrano ns likely to
be chosen King. Nobody is enthusiastic
about Serrano, and nothing short of universal
national enthusiasm could give a mere
Spanish soldier any chance of sovereignty in
Spain. When the name of the proposed King
is announced, it is certain to bo that of somd
body belonging to the travelling circus of
princes who are always going about Europe
in search of thrones, and whose existeuce
and vocation form one of the most insalu
brious and dangerous nuisances European
liberty has to encounter.
This King in the background has certainly
been the worst enemy aud curse to the Span
ish revolution. Considering that every pre
vious political convulsion in Spain had only
been a miserable party affair, the expulsion
of one faction by the upheaving of another,
it was the obvious policy of Prim and his as
sociotes to give to this at all cost a distinctly
national character. A flag should have boon
raised at once around which the patriotism of
the whole nation whatever patriotism there
is in the nation could have rallied. Spain,
to do her justice, has always shown a genuine
national enthusiasm when summoned by
some cause for which a nation could be en
thusiastic. Rut the crafty, se
cretive, dispiriting policy of the new Gov
ernment threw a dump upon every ardent
heart. The Republicans soon felt that they
were being paltered with in order that they
niieht be safely betrayed, and even the
Monarchists grew disheartened and apathetic,
No political party can be roused into en
thusiasm by au abstraction; even a monarch
ist cannot go into raptures of loyalty about
an expected kino; whose very name he does
not know. A kind of inert, vacuous expec
tancy soon, therefore, settled down with
cloL'ging influence over the movement
which had opened with such ardor and bright
sess. The revolution became damp, limp,
lymphatic. I'nm nnd bis colleagues in
the Government appeared to the nation at
large to be only serving the purpose of what
is culled in English polities a "warming-pan
thnt is, a convenient underling who occu
pies a seat in the House of Commons until
his patron or the son of his patron is ready
to come and take it. Or perhaps they seemed
to hold the still less dignified position of the
man "in possession;" the man whom the land
lord has sent to look after the house ana pro
perty until a fitting person is found to take
the place of the defaulting tenant whose chat
tels the law has confiscated.
National enthusiasm would have saved
Soain. National enthusiasm would save her
yet. Only the Republican party seem capa
Lie of arousinc nnd concentrating suen a ieei
ina. and we do not venture to say whether
o ' . . - a - e
they are strong enougn to Decome masters 01
the situation. At the present time the revo
lution, in so far as it is the cause of liberty
and nroeress, begins every day to lose ground,
and it is evident that a new starting point
must be found, or the whole will be a tailure.
Every day the conviction grows stronger and
sadder that Prim and his colleagues do not
hold in their hands the divining-rod which is
to reveal the hidden springs of national en
thusiasm. They have but to produce their
king, their last resource, their grand card, to
add one final illustration to those they have
ldrea(iy given of the difference betw
the magician: between
een the
political
cruit and patriotic inspiration
between Prim
and W ashington.
REDUCE THE TAXES!
F'om tlit X. Y. World.
The publication of the monthly debt state
ment gives occasion for another of tho sonse-
- -t i i i i : r a i . I 1 .1 :
less penoulCUl juuiittiiuuH ui me in-iuiunciiu
Eress. It is asserted that the national debt
as been reduced more than five millions
during the month of August, and the country
is asked to admire President Grant and his
Secretary of the Treasury for bo auspicious a
result. But what have they done, during the
month of August, to entitle them to this shal
low and fulsome praise? They have been jour
neying and junketing, attending dances ana
clam-bakes, horse-races, and monster musical
festivals; flitting from place to place on
pleasure excursions, leaving the Government
to be run by clerks nnd subordinates; the Pre
sident and whole Cabinet uoiug uosent irom
Washington, and as free from care as the
gayest butterflies ol 1011101 uiui mti umi ibis
nonsense on the corridors of the watering-place
hotels. If the amount of tho dobt is lessened,
small thanks to our laiiuting, loanng j. resi-
- fa... I . r. Imira nn(wl
dent and nuance minister, wuu um
buted no more to thiB result than they have
to the unwonted abundance of the August
peach crop. .,
DiHiniKHing tnoir agency m iu uwvoi
too ridiculous for consideration, let us look
into the actual state of the caso, and boo if it
affords a fair subject of congratulation. The
debt has been diminished out of taxes whioh
were laid by Congress before General Grant
was inaugurated. If Secretary Boutwell had
never lifted a finger, if no bonds had been
purchased, if the money sent to him by the
collectors of the revenue had lain iu tho
Treasury, the monthly debt statements would
nevertboleas have shown a rodiiotion. The
net amount of the debt is reached by sub-
tract ing the money in the Treasury
from the Bum total of the bonds nnd green
backs; and the balance would have been
about the same if no bonds had been pur
chased. What the country is asked to
rejoice over is the enormous amount of our
taxation. The capacious pool of administra
tive wastefulness nnd extravagance is not
oidy filled, but runs over. If the revenue
were less redundant, if the people were not
so plundered by taxes, there would be less
money for the Republican officials to squan
der; nnd because they collect more than
enough to gorge their rapacity, we are ex
pected to admire them ns great geniuses in
finance ! Instead of praiso for saving a little
out of the overflowing revenues, they do-
serve censure for spending and wasting so
much. The business of the country is
crushed under oppressive taxation, nnd such
reductions as have taken place in the dobt
merely attest the prodigious amount of tho
Federal taxes.
There is no good reason why money should
be taken from the pockets of the people for
the rapid extinction of the public dent ueiore
it falls due. Most of our enterprising busi
ness men are borrowers, and the money
which is taken in taxes could be used by them
with great advantage and profit in the prose
cution of their undertakings, thus multi
plying the national wealth and incroas-
ing the resources out of winch tuture
taxes are to bo paid. At present wo
are taxing many of our groat industries out
of existence; we are impairing the national
weaitu ana rcsourcos out ot all proportion
to the small reduction of tho public debt.
Half the business men of the country would
be ruined if forced to make immediate pay
ment of their private debts, because they
need the borrowed capital which they are
using to enable them to make the money by
which they hope to extricate themselves from
their pecuniary obligations. A forced pay
ment ot the public debt operates in the
same manner, inasmuch as tho heavy taxes
applied to that obiect diminish the resources
of the community for the prosecution of lucra
tive pursuits.
Great Dntain, the wealthiest, and finan
cially the most intelligent nation on the
giooe, noes not aeem it wise to make any
strained efforts to reduce tho principal of her
debt. As soon as there is any surplus reve
nue, the first thing to which British financiers
and statesmen turn their attention is a dimi
nution of the public burdens by taking oil'
some of the taxes which produce tho surplus.
lhey regard tho growth ot the national wealth
as more important than tho reduction of tho
pmuc ueiit. Although the iJrilish debt re
mains stationary, the credit of the British
Government is the best of any in the world.
mere is no other itovernuient which can so
reaauy command a loan, or nt so moderate a
rate ot interest a tact which uiiimt be re
flected on with advantage by tho declaiiuers
in this country who insist that the speedy ex
tinction of the national debt is indispensable
to the maintenance of the public credit.
The Republican glorification over the
monthly debt statements is both foolish and
knavish. It overlooks tho disastrous and
ruinous effect of our crushing taxes on the
business ot the country; and it is made a
convenient cover for the rascality and extra
vagance of a speudthnlt party. It is used to
give a deceitful and delusive impression of
prosperity, which blinds the people to the
prodigal expenses of the Government. If the
Government costs three or four times as
much as it did beforo the war, the country is
expected to feel that our resources are bound
less nnd we can afiord it, inasmuch as we
have n constant surplus to be applied
to the payment of the debt. That surplus
is a tnne, ana the country could well
enough stand it, if it were not for tho
hundreds of millions that are annually
raised and squandered to produce this delu
sive show ol prosperity. But tho country
cannot stand the enormous taxation by which
so many great industries are crippled and
crushed; and the fact that there is a surplus
over and above the prodigal expenditures of
tho Government, proves that our taxes could
be largely and immediately reduced without
injustice to the public creditors, or detriment
to the public credit. All that is required of
us is to meet our obligations as they mature;
and money that is not necessary for that pur
pose had better tie left in the hands of the
community to be productively employed in
increasing the national wealth. A reduction
of the rascally tariff and the abolition of the
income tax, are among the most urgent finan
cial reforms demanded at this juncture of
an airs.
WHAT ARE BANKERS AND BROKERS?
From the X. Y. Timet.
It appeara by Washington despatches of
luesciiiy last, tnat the question raised by the
bankers and brokers in reference to the tax
on the capital employed and deposits held by
t nem, are not to delay the proceedings of the
department; and that the assessments and
collections are to be made at once. The Com
missioner declines to permit the Government
to lie out of its revenue while the contestants
are tuking the opinion of all the courts be
tween this and Washington on the subject.
It might take years to obtain a final hearing
bet ore tne hupreme uouvt; and it decided
adversely to the brokers, it is not probable
that one nunareutn part or tue taxes mat are
now due could then be collected.
The real question at issue, as we under
stand it. is a very simpie one. i uere is a cer
tain class of men in what is called "the Street,"
who style themselves brokers, but who trans-
act a business that the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue decides to be that of bankers.
and which renders them liable to taxation, as
follows:
First. A license, or special tax, wnon em
ploying a capital of !&:(,()(( or less, of 101)
tier annum: and when einnloyiu'' nure thau
----- . . , , ..
.ft.. 0,00(1, two dollars ilor every additional inou-
sand.
Second. A monthy tax of one-twenty
fourth of one ner cent, on the average
amount of capital employed by them in their
business.
Third. A tax of one-twenty-fourtli ot one
per cent, per month on the average amount
of denosits received by them. The con
testants deny that they are bankers, and
therefore protest that they are not obliged to
make the returns which tho law requires of
that class of business men.
For four years, though taking out a banker's
license usually for the nominal amount of
fCiO.OOO many of them have refused to make
returns of their capital and deposits.
The Internal Revenue law imposes a pen
alty of !200 per month for each neglect or
refusal. To collect this penalty we are in
formed that one hundred suits, more or less,
have been commenced in Brooklyn, and that
a much larger number will shortly be brought
in tne United States Courts of this district.
The main question involved will thus bo
raised iu these cases, namely: Are they
bankers? If no, have they made tho roturus
required by luw '(
