KIDNAPPING FREE WHITE MEN.

MIXED REMEDY FOR THE CURRENCY.

Had the expenses fthe war been paid by taxa

penditures Of $50, 900 900 in three years, as may
be shown thus: current outstanding debt. $780,
100000; Confederate States tax dues Tor 1853.
$l25, 600, 900; now these dues are six times the
present snms and you. have $3.50 000, 600, overpay
ing the monthly debt by $3.50 000. 600, which goes
towards cashing the outstanding current notes "
as to overrun them in these three years.
: But will the people stand tax siS times as great
as this years? think so-especally when they
are assured they pay they go, and are taking up
all the Confederate money a1oat and bringing down
prices on every thing. All weneed is to withdraw
the surplus circulation Of $3.50 900 600 and pay the
current expenses IF the government, or So0,OOV,-
GOO, and We thereby make Confederate money not
quits equal to gold, because we carry on large
contraband trade, and must buy with specie most
ly. Who would lave. to pay this tax The rich
mainly, as the poor never pay much tax 7; and when
the rich see that theis funds are made six or ten
times as good thers15, they would not complain.
It will be remembered that by thus paying 80
much currency into the Treasury speculation ceases
to vast extent because money is to be kept ready
for the tax receiver. -. =.
1t is like q revolving wheel-the money due Tor
taxes goes into the treasury, ah1 mo,'eHy ~
assin to the people, as army pay and other KINDS,
msking new issue needless. While the people
have money in hand, they ~al speculate. from the
apple woman to the banker. Let them have no
surplus funds and they quit trading.
We do not intend to bring down prices Of provis,,
ions to old figures because there is more demand
than supply; and had we only gold, flour and b.
con, &C., would still rule quite high. But we do
say, tax and pay off debtand daily expenses OF gov
ernment and these necessaries would fall aInAz
insly. -
For if we have times too much money and a bar
rel of -four 800 in Richmond it would descend to
$l5 or $50 provided the supply equaled the demand
or in our real circumstances, say S30-and thus
with other products. Imported goods for dress and
the like, would not be so much affected; nor is il,
important, as those who arc antirepub!ican enough
to crave such can proceed. We are seeking the
true interest of the sober minded, the true hope OF
all countries, not those vain and stless ones. We
desire to supply the needy with food and plain
clothing and to provide against the widespread
alarm as to hunger and cold penury in the halls Of
the well-to do, formerly, and 4tskvallua with ns7
