Secretary Trenholm's New Scheme of
Taxation

The following passage from the Report OF tn e
Secretary Of the Treasury submitted TO Con.
gress embraces his scheme of taxation for the
ensuing year:
To raise the amount proposed by taxation,
recommend the repeu oi :" much o' the Act
Amending the Act OF ITth February, lsdi, as
will leave the property snd Income tax ~ iu.i
operation. without the suatru,-n,. now aliow.
ed, viz Section |, paragraph /. OF The amrna
atory Act OF l+th June, 1864, which piuy dies
that the value oi the Tax in hind shall bc de.
duct-d l. ON the adrdi"T.B, tax on AZ cultural
pr peity; and section \. paragraph >, Of III 3
same Act, wh'ch provides that the pInr-riy
tai shan be- deducted from H.. lnconit t.H.-

II asstion, now the subject oi cUmpLuml, Nil
he redrrssed
Tho Richmond Dispatch compliments Nj
Trenholm in the following high terms:
We have iorborEe thus far to comment upon
the report OF Secretary Trenholm, hccauie we
had not studied il ~iIh the attention it deserves.
II is an able document point. out, ia our opin
ion the only possible road to .Itricaton from
our difiicu ties, and forms. upon the whole. n
striking contrast TO the muddy, mysterious,
enigmstical communications We have been nc.
eastomed to irom that Department. NJ. Trcn
holm g,ves one evidence. and il is n very strik.
ihg Que, that he isa man OF business, pi acticaly
acquainted with the subject he is treating Vi ,
and not mere thsOrist lie is the only wri.er
or speaker ot the day, 10 lar as We can recoi-
lect, who comprehesds the enormous folly of
hnkering rifh the eGyrensy-a folly to which
the larger portion Of mankind Is strangely ad.
dicted, and which no experience, however eI-
tended OF severe, ever entirely cures the VIC
tim.
The recommendations Of Mr. Trenholm are
brief. business like aud to the purpose. We
must. he ssys. "snticipa,e the productions Of
future years Of peace, and convert thesi into
the foundstion-strong ard practical. Then,
- beginning Of all things, We must stop the
printing psess-that 10 TO say, we must issue
no more treasury notes sasr We have issued
s'l that were called Tor by the Act ofisst Feb
ruary. The Government must pledge in faith
70 THE effect Next the notes are TO be ex.
empt from tA1ation-the stupid measure Of
taxing them having already worked a vast deal
OF mischief. Twenty per cent Of the tax in
kind is then 10 be applied TO the redemption
OF the notes and the reduction Of the outstaud.
Ing amounts thereof, and this twenty per cent.
Is 70 be applied annually until all shall have
been redeemed. As TO the means OF improv'
ing the currency. irwill appear from this shor'
outline Of Mr.. Treobolm's view that he looks
70 the resources Of the country alone for turn
ishng them. And IRON no other source car
they come, sndin 10 other ~sy can they be
brought out than by Taxation
