The War Tax on Tea and Coffee.

The country WILL we doubt not be glad to learn that
in the votes on the loan BILL the majority by which the
War Tax on and coffee lost was only four votes
This gives good ground to hope that the measures may yet
prevail Why should it not prevail As an opposition SEN
well said in debate Friday the honor and the patri
osm OF the whole country and especially the character of
the democratic party fully pledged that the shall
not flag and nger for want of means. The import OF
tea during the last fiscal year being Is S9l o20 pounds
amounted in value TO S3os3, 1877 That of coffee being
2i 1886 02i pounds, amounted TO 81 SOP soimakng
aggregate of l 7S6 23 Aduty of 25 per cent this
amount would yield an annual of $2,9i6,557 75
This addition to the revenue would of itself go far to
facilitate the requisite loan on better terms meet the
expenses of the war.
1t is said, however, that this tax would press unequal
" upon different sections of the country because the
coored population of the south consumes but little of
these articles. This objection has been very grossly
oversmted But if it true charged the OBJ
vios and conclusive is, that applies to almost
every other tax levied by any tariff law Hardly one
taxable article can be named which is consumed in an
equal proportion in every section of the Union Neither
woolen fabrics cotton fabrics of different descriptions
and qualities coal, iron, wlnes silks,
nor any of the principal articles thus equal
" consumed throughout all parts of land Shall we
saw therefore, that of these articles fit subjects
for temporary additional tax, when such tax is
wanted to sustain the credit and character of the country
On the contrary tea and coffee free a small
tax on them would be considerable burden anywhere
such tax would bring a income easily collected,
and the people we firmly believe would cheeruy pay it,,
however unwilling OF their representatives here
may now be to impose it. When the war broke out, and
became certain that revenue would be needed,
all minds turned at TO small tax on tea and cof-
fee as one most obvious and natural method of raising it.
The Secretary of the Treasury only met the general ex
pecaton in proposing it, This fact alone speaks loudly
in its favor.
We trust now when the attitude of enemy has be-
come more hostile and desperate, and when the House
OF Representatives, Thursday last in its passage of the
loan BILL seemed be turning resoutey and with patriotic
aror the enactment of measures carry the through
oa termination worthy of our character that this whole
matter will be reconsdeed and that without heed to
hona jealousy such action may be had it as will al
once strengthen the treasury and respond TO the high
wrought enthusiasm OF the people

Thanksgiving Sermons.

Some of the Loco papers speak in high
terms of the Thanksgiving Sermon of Cler
gyman who was the candidate of part of the
Loco party, we believe, for Congress, a year or
two since. lie took the ground pointed out
by the Governor, and was very "obedient to
the powers that be did not rebuke wicked
ness in high places at all. This divine, we
believe, is quite talented, and on the whole,
we suppose, very good sert of a man ; but
we apprehend he would not have done for
prophet or an apostle. He would not have
rebuked Ahab, or cried out like Isaiah against
the wickedness of the nation and the rulers;
he would not have reasoned like Paul before
Felix of those things of which Felix was tho
most guilty.
We would not have our clergymen, as
general thing, introduce subjects connected
with politics into the pulpit but offensive war
is so directly opposed to the principles of the
christian religion, so plainly contrary to the
teachings of the Bible, that it should form an
exception.
