REVENUE FOR THE WAR.

Whatever modification of the tariff may do, or
may fail to do, one thing is quite certain. The ex-
listing tariff will not at all suffice provide for the
expenses ofthe war. Whatever may be our fate I'M
der law that shall be made bona ide for reuenue,
at least that if the protective" tariff lasts
it will leave on our hands war debt.
Under these circumstances, we submit that mod
fcation of the tariff on the repenue principle is plain
ly the demand of the crisis. If the bill reported
by the committee of the House will not bring in an
increased revenue suited to the exgenccsthe brief
exigencies as we hope--of the just and necessary
war in which are engaged, why then that bill
is in its principle and purpose susceptible of the
modification proper to make the revenue larger.
enue bill, framed for the purpose of raising such
an amount of revenue as it may be expedient
for the government to raise. Hence it may be al
tered, consistently 10Th lis principle, to raise al
most any required amount of revenue for given
time.
But the tariff that now is is quite another affair
It is not SO tracable. 1t is framed to prevent 10 d.
ninish importaions, not to raise revenue. Hence, in
revenue point of view, the best thing to be done
II q
nep law easier than we can mend this old one on
the revenue plan.
We trust that Congress, therefore, in now taking
up the subject Of the tariff, will bear in mind tina,
rspsnuc is, in our present circumstances the main
object If they remember this, they cannot well dc
as the wings did in 1872 and give rs a protection
tax to be paid to our manufacturers in the shape Of
high prices for domestic manufactures instead Of a
revenue tax, to be paid through the custom-house
into the treasury.
In this view, the subject Of war tax on articles
now free Of duty, (such as tea and cohee) naturally
presents itself. We objection TO such tax
levied to sustain the war, and limited 10 The period o.
its continuance. We believe that such a tax would
be cheerfulIy borne by patriotic people. They
would volunteer it. We find the cxpediency and
fitness of a temporary wur-duty on the articles we
have named put very clearly and forcibly in the
following passage from the New York Evening

10 The Editor Of The Union.
SiR; observed, in the letter Of your New York
correspondent, contained in the Union of last eve
ming, some structures upon the manner in which the
line Of electric telegraph is conducted between this
city and New York.
That there has been neglect and careleasness do
not doubt but 1t can hardly be expected that such
an enterprise start off in its infancy and perform
all its functions with that precision and correctness
that It will after the company have had little ex-
perience.
The line, Notwithstanding its general use, he's
never been regularly opened to the public between
Baltimore and elphia-indeed, the co mmittee
appointed some weeks since at a meeting of the
stockholders, has not yet examined that part Of the
line and accepted II from the contractor and MOTH
ing but the great impotence Of the public induced
the company to proceed, early as they did TO
transmit intelligence.
Business has, as you will see by the papers, lit
orally poured W upon US; and am now using my
utmost exertions, stockholder and director, to
have one unbroken wire from this city to New
York Immediately put up.

and give us little time to perfect our arrange
ments, think assure them that everything the
company can possibly do to accommodate them
promptly and efficiently will be done.
