hands tho pow r to Ux tvery dollar that it
has issued. 'Jbi power renders the bank
ruptcy of the (iovcrnment physically im
possible. Let our people beware of an untaxable
debt, an ii now proposed in certain quar
ters. If tbo Government embarks in the
p!un ot issuing untaxable bonds, the war
need not luatt-'grcnt while to make those
bonds tbo master of the Government. They
become a debt of tbo highest dignity in
administering the assets of the Govern
in trit, and must bo paid in full, although all
other creditors gat nothing, or repudiation
is justly chargeable against the Goern
ment. Congress nhould not allow thorn to
g.i lor lef than ten lor one. Indeed, the
irtuo of such bonds becomes a pure specu
lation be-L wee n tbo purchaser and the Gov-
rniiMnt. iiall tbo issues aro taxablo,
thoy will ail abate, like other estate, in
supporting iho Government. If tho bonds
now out aro to stand a they are, and apew
set, untaxable, arc to Lo our lutaro issue,
tbo n"w bvt will soon make tbo old entirely

and tubor Jinale.

Lot tbo lover i.n :.jt embark in tho ys
tein ot uriia.Viblo bonds, and unless peace
ctimt'K quicker tnan any man supposes, the
tuxablo bonds will soon be seen to be
worthless, t!' untaiablo will grow beyond
tho huwUining pewer of tho country, and
tbr linanr'i ot tho Government now, in my
judgment, mtiioly and easily controlable,
will go to confnnion and utttr ruin. An
untaxable debt, grown 60 large that land
hh1 negmes can do no more than support
tbeniMilres und tbo Government, turns
lot jio slavery as a matter of interest and
annihilate tbo value of'proporty. Such a
I'Hi.iJitiou, or anything near it, would causo
the debt to be thrown overboard boyond all

II. From tho foregoing it will be sceW, 1
think, that the 'system of funding in bonds
not t:xublo is not, tho true interest or poli
cy ot the Govermont.
I in?i-a next liiat the funding system
genet ally is not antweriog, and as wo go
further will more Hignally fail of answer
ir. the expectations of its advocate?, and
thin although tho poople might fund it as
latas.Mr. Mointningcr might desire.

that even at tho hum of liquor house, lbs

r.ion to give ehutige for bonds. In larger
ojx'rat'.t. 1,1 th.-y certainly play their part.
And ii th-' second place, every six

the currency, and that if these &eveiii call
ings had notexistca SO as to give uso ana
employment to the monev, men would now
be seen lighting their pipes with ten dol
lar bills. The proposition in England to
put down the trader, broker, speculator
and auctioneer whonever war breaks oat,
would provokoa smilo of contemr t.
IV. Simple taxation is the onl possible
remedy for our present situatior-. Any
other is but an atternpt to lift one's solf by
tho straps of his boots.
Let Congress at once pass a bill collect
ing four hundred millions at the end of
three months, three hundred three months
thereafter, two' hundred three months
thereafter, and one handred three months
after that. Thus one thousand millions
would be takon inonoyear. Tho passage
of the bili would start prices downward and
keep them going down. Supposing the
present expenditure of the Government to
be seven hundred millions, I think that
such a tax biil would reduce it tc live hun
dred millions. The tax in kind, r.cpposed,
at its passage to bo worth oao hundred and
thirty millions, is now, at advanced prices,
worth at least two handred millions. Tako
off that, and we have three hundred mil
lions expenditure. Under the tax bill
propo'sed, the Government would, there
foro, ; t he end of the yar, have out seven
hunuf i millions loss than at the begin
ning, i'ioar would then soli at twelvo dol
lars a barrel, bacon at twenty cents a
puund and other things in proportion.
1 propose four, threo two and one in or
der to reverie tho ordr of spending. Let
us return to a healthy standard by going
backward in collecting just as we went for.
ward in spending, thus doing, as littlovio.
looco to society as possible. Such is my
plan. After staling it I need not say that
I am not a candidate for Congress. .Yet
I say with confidence that its execution is
entirely within the power of th people,
and that thoir truo pecuniary interests im
pcratirrly demand the immediate adoption
of it, or some other equivalent to it.
Let u think and reason on tho matter.

cost. It has, in fact, cost them just
that i
much now, neither more nor.less.
Tke farmer worth before the war fifty
thousand dollars is not worth that much
more by ssvaral thousand. It is a delusion
for him to suppose himself worth two or
throe hundred thousand. How he can
fancy himself richer than when the war bo
gan is unaccountable.
What is the cost of the war ? So many
millions of dollars says ono. A moro erro
neous reply could not be made. Tbo true
cost is so many bushels of wheat, corn and
peas ; so many head of hordes, cattle, hoge,
and st on.
SuDDOse the wholo South, money and
all, belonged to one man ; he could, of
course render to the government every dol
lar now out without adding to the wauts of
his peoplo. Suppose it all belonged to one
thousand men, ono half of whom held all
the money and the other half none. The
first five hundred have, of course, enough
to pay their own taxes, and enough aluo to
furnish their neighbors the requisite sum
to pay theirs. llowdiJ tho first class get
the money t By parting- with property,
(cotton, bacon cr corn, for insianco,) in ex
change for it. The second clas can get
the n!CCMary amouut by doing the same
thing. Taxes aro imposed only on proper
ty. If be second clas have parted with
none heretofore, it is llmu they had done
so, fur no psoplo can carry cn war without
i . . . i .
uiniiiing tneir suusiancu.
Thero is just so much, ani no more of
the necessaries ot life in the South for the
use of tho people They will uso and con
sume thom any way, r.nd the drawing in
of seven hundred millions, or even the
w hole debt of the Govcrnmcut, would not
diminish the supply of the necessaries of
life at all.
If our people can support a war on the
credit of thetr Government, thurr.selvf 8 be
ing tho creditors, it is by that fact establish
od toaccrtfinty that they can support it
as it !ft
i n wr.hutt km-,- credit at all. Nn-

than that thoy might all tear it up and no

And it is also clear that the substantial
comforts of lifo would then be just the
sama as beforo.

The debt duo by the Government is res
ting as a mortgage cn overy estate in tbt
laud. The svl stance of it is that every man
owes his neighbor and his neighbor oves htm.
The Government has needed the sup.
plies, and hasses.tout its duo bills or on
ders and got them. A just tax bill is nec
essary to equalize the quantity of sappli
of each man iu furnishing tho Gorernment.
The debt due by the Government U tan

much expense besides is incurred in the
mcro floating of tho debt. Herein lies the
pecuniary interest of all tax payers In pay.
ing out.
It follows that it is not material to the
Government what is on the face of the pa
per which it issues, provided' the paper cir
culates at home.
Why, then tho great distress in tbo land ?
I answer that tho distress in the land is
confined to those who live on fixed salaries
and others in similar situations. A deprc-t
ciating currency has reduced tho soldier's
pay from eleven to one dollar a month") and
the pay of the clerks, and all others who
live on salaries in the same way. Add to
these the laborers for hire whose wages
have not kept up with the times and there
is no other class who can complain of dis
tress. Now, it happens that all theae per
sona, pay but little or no tax and that tho
collodion of a heavy tax would benefit each
and every on 9 of them.
t rum ine uuib ui oveuii, it tuity um aic-t
ly laid down that all persons living on fixed
incouiss, in every case, are being pinched-;
that, counting the army, thero arc some
five hundred thousand employees of the
Government working lor prolty much
nothing, and all this labor for nothing is a
bonus to tho tax puying people.
It further follows that the North and
South aro not spending about equal
amounts in tho war, a3 the face of their
liebta import. The North is consuming
several tinien tho supplies in kind Iho South
does, aud this is tho only true test.

Frail and, weak in every psrl
Wanders from thy mercy seat,
After those dear roving feet,
