TIE ENGLISH DEFICIT P0n 1861

Of the year with a decline in receipts, as COM
pared with 1860, Of TO less that $40, -l- .220.
OF this enormous deici. no less than 80, $685.

which has been constantly varying in it, pro
ductiyeness since Sir Robert Peel introduced
what be intended rs tcrminable impOst on
income, but which is now permanently es-
tablshed part of the English system Of taxa
ton. The present Chancellor Of the Exchequer
made the experiment of a reduction OF the
income tax to 3D., at the same lime that lie
made n considerable sacrifice OF revenue in the
introduction OF partial system OF Free Trade

of income for 1860 and 1861, respectively are

apoinst the life of the Nation and tho Rights
Of Man without ono electrlfyiDg appeal
from orr rulers to tho People. The Gov
eminent has repeatedly called for men in
the most prosaic terms, aud they have beeu
promptly supplied by volunteering to the full
extent of the rcquisitiou. We believe frank
and stirring appeal for money would be res
bonded to with equal alacrity. The one thing
Deediul is n general conviction that this call is
the last that viii be made or needed. Only
let it be felt that the sum required is to pro-
vide for the decisive work, and it viii be put
up. But contracts for arms to be delivered in
1868 and appropriations for Military and Naval
service on a war footing reaching forward Ia
July Of next year, are breaking the National
heart. We think Congress should post
pOne all provision for fighting the rebellion IN
the next fiscal year until it shau have been
settled that it can or cannot be suppressed
during that which has eth over Eve months to
run. ne believe it can and VIII be.
V. We lave so little faith in lies generally
that we shrink from the suggestion OF en- issue
of promises to pay what is not to be paid. II
the Government sees fit or is constrained 70
issue paper Of whatever kind, it sheud bear
on its face the exact, literal truth piece OF
paper promising to pay s., $40, 500, $50 OF
500 on demand, is all right so long as the
promise is kept. But to issue SlOO,OO0OOV,
or any other amount, Of illusory promises, ana
by law compel people to receive them AZ TIE
dollars they msl.lestly do not represent, Is an
extreme and dubious exercise Of sovereign
power. IF !, must be, it must; bat we are
not yet convinced OF the necessity. On the
contrary, we believe that heavy taxing, light
stealing and hard fighting would ob'iatc 1t.
VI. As 70 The objects Of taxation, We believe
that Injuries and superluiies should be made
to bear as large share Of tie burden as pos
sible aud that those branches of industry
which minister TO positive needs and to moral
and Intellectual progress should be lightly Wis
tied. Tax the pleasuTe-cArriagc, not the OK
cart: The distil,y, not the bakery; tobacco
and brandy, not bread anl meat. Congress
has Just shown deplorablc weakness IN allowing
Ten, in warehouse or on the ocean 10 escape
The new duties, which VII iu.oll'b'y be added
to tie price OF every pound Of them. This is
a naked gift Of millions 70 the Importers who
would never even have asked 1t hal they been
truly patriotic and willing 20 live aud lei 1--we.
We trust this j. the last exhibition Of weak
ness, aud that every act hencciorth viii indi-
cato decision, promPtncss and nerve. Let
every movement be based on tie assumption
that the rebellion IS TO be put down forthwith,
and tie result VIII justify the expectation.

oUa NoTaoys or FINANCE.

We have been spar'ng IN the proier of conn
sel 70 our legislator and rulers with regard to
the Financial needs Of the Government and the
best means Of supplying them, for reaeons
already indicated We know and have ayerred
that heavy taxation Is Gn urgent and imper
ati,e necessity; but On this point there is no
terioGs difference among loyal men anywhere,
AS the overwhelming maiori.ies whereby Mr.
Corning's resolve was pushed through both
Houses suffice TO establish. We know, too,
! Shat there must be further and heavy looms,
AID that the success of those loans is and must
I be contingent Oh the adequacy oi the t9xes
imposed and the yigor and promise Of our mil
itasy operations. so much is very generally
understood; and as for mere seoldlng at Con
gress as datory and Unlaithlul We question
both It's efficacy and its justice. We prefer
more quietly to indicate some points 10 which
we would have general attention directed.
For instence:
/. The Government ought TO have Two
Hundred Millions of Dollars forthwith. Hall
Of this sum is probably nov due TO soldiers,
officers, contractors, &C., ana tie Country is
suffering heavily because OF its non-payment
We're everything paid for so fast as received,
Millions would be saved in the current cost OF
Arms, Clothing, Provisions, Munitions, Sc,
&c. We're tle Governments floating debt paid
Of, aud SlO0,OC0,OOO OF cash in hand for
current expenses, We believe that sum would
suffice to break tie back Of the rebellion.
II. Vigorous and successful hostilities are III
d;suensable to financial solyency. If Beaure.
card. beaten, were to-day in full flight from
b fore Washington, aud Sidney Johnston were
in Ike manner routed and fleeing toward
Nashville 20 that the whole world could see
Dlainly that the rebellion was on its last lcgs
and had abundant use for them, the Govern
mcGt could borrow money on ITS own terms.
II il the general feeling Of Encouragement
an iupresson that tie Millions already spent
lave been in good part stolen OF waSted--ihat
we are embarked on . course which involves
endlcs, and iru.;Iess eXpcndltnre-tbat has mo-
mcutariy arrested tie prefer 10 tie Go'ern-
mcnt Of money on loan.
III. The Banks Of tue thee great cites
have done nObl, -done to the extent Of their
ability. They can probably do 10 more at
present. But there are hundreds OF Other
Banks in the country able to lend the Govern,
ment from $1,000 to 100000 each, aud
which ,cOuid DO SO if they understood aud be-
eyed that this would secure the overthrow OF
the rebellion. Then there arc individuals wLo
could lend from $4,000 to 100000 each,
with hundred times as many who could lend
from 500 to $500. Only lot it be known
that $500, 900, 900 more would sufice-thai
this would bring us TO al assurance OF peace
and the money would be put up within thirty
days, provided the proper means were taAei
to reach aud convince the People.

Gladstono's capacity ia not supposed to lie in
the direction of meeting difficulty which is 20
evidently one of his own creation as is tho
present. 1t is true, the case would have been
worse if the falling OF in the revenue had
been shown to spring from the unpopular con-
yentiOn with France; but the conservative
party will hardly fail TO make capital out Of
the ill-considered reduction of income tax,
which alone has added nearly SI5, Zoo, 900 to
the deficiency Of 1861. Nor win it mend Mr..
Gladstone's cause, that the property tax was
reduced at q time when the various identical
interests Of the country were abundanily pros
perous-especally when the impost will now
have to be renewed OF a period Of unusual
anxiety and Of more or less general depression
in trade. a change of Ministry is not the
most improbable Of the contingencies which
may arise from the fiscal Deficiencies OF Mr..
Gladstone's administration.

The changes in tie tariff caused by the pro.
visions Of the French treaty, only came fully
into operotion in the month OF October, so that
il is not yet entirely apparent how the attempt
at Reciprocity between the two countries may

two countries. Thus far however, looking
only at the English customs receipts for the
last months in the year, the revenue does not
appear 10 have suffered by the treaty; the iu-
