We have repeatedly called the attention Of
oGr readers in Congress to the Necessity of max
ug adequate provision for the purpose of
coping With the difficulties, actual and threat
ened, OF the financial situation. We have par
ucuiatls signalized, indicating 4 source Of
danger which calls tor remedy, the disparity
which exists between the amount cf our current
expenditures which IS sised by loans and the
amount which s derived from contcmporarv tan
alton, as compai,d with the polcy q Great
Britain during the period whom her annual ex-
penditures reached their greatest height, though
still falling much below our own. We have pre-
ylOusly stated that the nearest approach TO our
enormous Expenditures which has ever been
Witnessed in the history Of the world vas M tde
by Great Britain in the year 1916, the last year
OF the great struggle with Napoleon, when the
expenditures reached the snm Of eill ,o0o. OpO
sterling, about c3S, ,OoC 900 OF which wa raised
of the fiscal year for 1868 were S7I4, ,169 g95, ol
which $3.50, 2G6, ,6S2 were provided for by the
issue of paper money or loans. Assuming the
pound sterling To be equivalent to five dollars of
the United States currency, il will be seen that
more than three-ftths OF she whole expenditure
Of Great Britain in 1915 were raised by coutem-
pOraneOus taxation aud less than twO-fiths br
loans, while We raised in 1863 little more than
one sixth OF our whole expenditure by tsxation,
and relied upon loans for nearly five-sixths ol
the remainder The estimated proportion j.
slightly better for 1864. but still indicates a dis
parity which cannot be long continued without
destroyngthe public credit and hence the neces-
sity OF adequate taxation in order to bring q
remedy to this source Of weakness in our system
We have only to add that without taxation it
will be impossible to preserve the Federal cur
rency ffom a growing and ruinOus depreciation,
and without taxation it will be equally impossi-
ble TO put restraints on the reckless extrava-
gance and prodigalty which prevail in every de-
partment OF pubic and private lde.-Natiohal

The WAY VANCE PAPERS ARE MADE.-Our read
ers are already aware that Gov Vance protected Col
McRae from conscription after his return from
France, by not requiring him to settle his accounts
as State Agent, the Colonel being exempt as long
he remained State Agent; and that in return for
this and in consideration of a salary paid him by
the "patriOts and property holders Col. McRae,
as Editor of the Confederate agreed to support
Gov. Vance for re election. Il is also known that
the Conservative newspaper of this City, which is
devoted to the support of Gov. Vance, was estab-
lished by few wealthy persons and is sustained
by them with the view of securing to themselves
for the next two years, by the reelection of Gov.
Vance, the monopoly of office, blockade running the
purchase of provisions at State prices, and the like,
which they are now enjoying. So much for the
use Of money and patronage to influence the cleo
tions; butwe learn from entirely reliable source,
that force has been resortcd to in order to make
another Vance organ in the Western part of the
State The Hendersonville Times is the property
of Mr.. William Dedman, and its Editors have here
tofore been DR.. S. l.. Love and Dr. L. F. Sensa-
baugh-the former a Surgeon in the Confederate,
and the latter Surgeon in the State service. For
ate on the opinions of these gentlemen, they were
good Conservatives but recently they have become
red hot Destructives. "The OK knoweth his own
er, and the ass his masters crib" Some four or
five weeks ago the enrolling officer called on Mr..
Dedman and notified him that his paper must change
its Conservative tone or be suppressed, and he
rested and sent to camp a conscript. DR.. Love
was on hand to rent the establishment, and Mr..
Dedman, to save hirn self from conscriptlon, was
compelled to rent to Love and Sensabaugh, and
then print the paper for them The EXT issue of
the paper hoisted the name of Vance, the Destruc-
tive candidate for Governor
These are facts Gov. Vance, if he not q
party to the transaction, now knows all about it,
and is taking the benefit of this t0rcibls suppress
ZION, by Confederate officer, of Conservative
i,urnal The calculation of the Destructive Leaders
about Hendersonvie is that the subscribers to the
Times who are for the most part good Conservatives
are to be transferred like so many cattle the sup
Iort of Gov Vance. We have no fears that this
Can be done. The men of the mountain country
are too minded and too independent to be con-
trolled in this way
Having shown how Vance papers are made we
will remind our readers how Vance paper was
not made in this City. The Editor of the Progress
states that after he had sold fourth of that pa
per to Mr.. Richardson, Gov. Vance approached Mr..
R. on the subject of buying the balance, and prom
ised Mr. R. that in the event Mr.. Pennington would
Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1864-06-17

We have known for some time that every effort
is being made by certain officers in the oonfeder-
ate service, to prevent the Standard from crcula-
ting among the soldiers in the field and in the hos
pitals The soldiers want the Standard, and these
officers are averse to their having It, because the
Standard contains truths which these officers can
not bear. We have received a letter from soldier
in Lanes Brigade, Virginia, in which he informs us
that the package of Standards is received at head
quarters but is not handed out to the subscribers,
and when inquired for, they are told no snch paper
has been received. Now, these subscribers have
paid their money for the paper, aud they are enti-
tied to receive it If an officer in tho service has
the right to decide what papers shall be subscribed
for, and what papers shall not be subscribed for
and received in his company or regiment then he
has supreme power over the opinions and thoughts
Of those under his command Such an officer is a
despot, and the soldiers who are thus treated are
denied the enjoyment o. those very principles Of
liberty for which they are fighting.
But there is one way in which the soldiers who
want the Standard can obtain it Let them call at
the Standard Office in person, or send, and they
will be supplied with copies of the paper. And we
trust our friends generally throughout the State
will send copies Of the Standard, whenever oppor-
tunites present themselves to the soldiers in camp
and hospital
