INCREASE OF TAxATIoN.-Mr. Lincoln's
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue is
frank man, and his report shows how
wonderfully our country is prospering
under Abolition rule. He states with
candor, simplicity and directnesS both
what he has failed to do and what he
must do. He has failed to raise as much
revenue as he expected, and he must have
the taxes largely increased-in his own
language, congress must increase the
revenue, not tighten the burdens OF the
tax payers" Not only articles ofluxufy.
but articles of necessity must be exOrolt-
antly tax, d to raise revenue for the ne
groes, shoddy contractors, spies and pen
stoned editors The Administration is
liberal, the country prosperous and the
tax payers loyal, and o, course they will
not complain. Greenback Chase is man
ufacturing currency at the rate of tel
million day, and that sum, with the
amount raised by additional taxes, ought
to keep the Administration in funds un
til after the Presidential election, at least
