NATIONAL FINANCES. Secretary Boutwell Pbiladelphiatie i Delivers a !Speech on the Finances of the _Nation— Public Debt, Principal and'lnterest, to be Paid According to the Terms of the Contract—He Favors a Reduction of laxatioh Year bt Year— Unanswerable Facts and. Pig res. Clir Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Guet i te.3 PHILADELPHIA, October 9.—Secretary Boutwell delivered nn address to d large audience this evening its favor of the Re publican State ticket, most of which was . devoted to the financial question. He stated, as the entire policy of the Ad- ministration in regard to the public debt, that it Is to be •pald, principal and inter eat, aceording •to the - terms of the con tract, and - in can, or that which men will receive, an the equivalent to coin. He dallied that if 'none of the public debt had been paid since 1865, the funded debt of the country would not bear less than ;3,200,000 in addition to the $366,- 000,000 notes in circulation. If in these font yeare, exhausted Its we hivedieen -- bY was, We bees been tibia to pay twenty ve or thirty-three per cent of the public debt, shall we hesitate as to our course for- the next few? years If 'we were to payy $100,000,00 a ear, which we can do, if the' pres-• ent system of taxation be permitted to remain, the public debt will be extin guished in less than fourteen years. If we pay $60,000,000 a year, which we can do at a decreased taxation, the interest bearing public debt will bei extinguished in leas than twenty-two years; and if we pay but $26,000,000 a year, and reduce taxation, as we may, to a very large degree, the interest bearing debt will be extinguished in thirty years. The as tonishment is that under the circum stances there should be any question among any class of people as to what the course of the country should be. Bat, gentlemen, we are now paying on a larger part of this debt six per cent. in terest. The events of the last six or seven months demonstrating the ability of the people of this country to pay this debt has rendered It not only probable, but -I consider it is certain, unless there shall be some disturbance of the peace of the world—unless there shall be some calamity national in its character—l 'consider it certain we can completely refund so much of the debt as we desire to refund at a rate of inter est _not exceeding 434 per cent, (ap. planse,) thus saving to the country and to the people who pay taxes..., from 118,000,000 to $25,000,000 -a year. You have paid $56,000,000 of the public debt. since the Ist pf March last. Shall we, in the presence of thaV-- fact, shrink from what is before us? To be sure there is taxation; but it is not grievous taxation, and more than that, it can gradually, year by year, be Waite ished. The burdens, whether heavy or light, 'can be gradually removed from ' the people. • - I thought it might not be uninterest ing, although the facts are well known, how far the revenues and proceeds of taxes bear heavily upon the people. During the last year, from distilled spirits and manufacture and traffic in distilled spitite, wine acid every kind of liquors, was derived a revenue of 544,000, 000; Lox! tobacco, manufactured as well sa in the various Corms, $23,0f0,000 more. Here are nearly $70,000,000, *high, I suppose; in theittdgment of most of co, Is not unnecessarily heavy. Then about $8,000,000 from- taxes on fermented liquors. We get $6,000,000 from the transportation of merchandise through the country, which should be removed as soon as the condition of the Treasury will perinit. There are about 56,060.000 more from the hale of merchandise, and $8,000,000 from income 531,000,000 from stamps, and $15.. 000,000 from other and smaller items suf. llcent to make an aggregate of 5150,000,- 000. This system of taxation can be changed so as to relieve the burdett of taxation from the mass of the people. A greater amount of 'the internal revenue is derived from the luxuries of life, or from taxes on people who are Able, to pay, and the burdens upon the laboring people of the country is, after all, very small. ME /22E But I must Ray that no system of taxa tion is desired that does not look to a larger taxation upon the luxuries or ac cumulated property, thus relieving the labor and ordinary business of life to as large a degree as possible. r. Boutwell Staten the reason which controlled the Adininistration in the ap plication of the surplus fund. Congress had prohibited the diminution of the amount of greenbacks, and neither them nor the fifty millions of 3 per cents could he redeemed without a departure from the law cf congress,by which the Sec retary was required o allow the volume of currency to remain as it was when he entered office. Thsrefore there remains only the course whirl' has been pursued, to issue sli per cent bonds at the market price. Mr. Boutwell concluded by an appeal ' to workingmen to see that the means of education are furnished to the chilidren• to inculcate justice, and rule the land under the princlpales of virture guided by intelligence.

When we ardently sighed for the tak ing down of the proud, - but dangerous wooden spire of St. Paul's Cathedral— erected through the stupidity of soma body as a transit2ry thing of glory—we felt u that the proallsed dome to supplant it as an ornament to that noble structure would prove something worthy of inter est, and of such graceful proportions as - to add beauty to an edifice in which we all haves pride, whether Catholic or Protestant, inasmuch as it adds largely -to the architectural attractions of the city. .114 alas! for human hopes! The mueb talked-of dome has at length mi stimed shape and appeare like the cross nactunted top of a batter bowl, or the per forated' cap of a pepper -box. To be plain, we believe it to be the most un graceful piece of .architectural work die. coverable on the continent, and whoso ever has. authority la the matter should at - 'once suspend .the work and, order ' a design ' more consistent with good taste and mcre in keeping! with the general character of the edifice. If such a dome be permitted to rest as a permanent adornment of the Cathedral we should advise those who have hitherto whited to the massive pile with feelings of pride to veksome other object about' which to go into enthusiasm. Toe dome is qut of proportion and squatty, ineulting to sll rules of good taste and correct archi tecture, and the sooner ft is replaced by something - more in accord with the original Idea of the massiveness and heavy grandeur of the cathedral the better.
