THE RsTsTAKE.u

The more we think Of it the more it puzzles u.s. and
the less we understand how it could have happened
DID anybody ever imagine the like !? Mr.. Trenholm
an experienced merchant, fnancier, and accountant
made report upon tie fnarces, based, we suppose
upon the figures he found in the Treasury Department
upon the administration of which he had just entered
he estimated the amount required to be raised for the
support Of the g0verD 2n at three hundred aad sixty
millions, That was in December. Well, two months
eapse and Mr. Trenholm reports slight error in the
footing up, 1nting to the trifine Of four hug
dred millions of dQlars We question il ever such a
thing, on such SCALE happened since the world began.
A mistake OF four hundred millions is something gil
gantic-colossaI incomprshensibe. II the thing was
not so dreadfuHy serious might say it was grand,
magnificent, and so forth.
The first pleasing result Of this deficit for that is the
way to put it. is that all taxes have to be paid over
again. Three hundred and sixty millions have to
be raised out of the people somehow That as all must
see will create great demand for Confederate curren-
cy and one would naturally suppose that the certainty
OF that demand would enhance its value. But it does
no such thing The fearfuIIy bad management, or
worse, that permits mistakes of sur Hundred millions
infcts such shock upon s confidence in the depart.
ment in which snch mistakes occur ss to more than
neuraze The effect of causes which might otherwise
tend TO The appre citation Of our treasury notes.
How this thing really occurred may come oat some
time. We do not tbilk that Mr.. Memmanger or Mr..
Trenholm have taken the money, but we think there
has been taking, and extensive taking, and taking all
around. The government that is.to say the country
has been gouged By dishonest agents. Or sacrificed by
official imbeciy. The idea that such q thing 90 a
mistake of four hundred millions could occur in the Of
fetal figures of the Treasury Department without the
implication OF either mbecilty or dishonesty woald
surely strike plain being 4t impossibility.
The man or m2n VINO would steal from their bleeding
country in this her hour Of tlal aud danger and depsss
sion would do almost anything. 1t really shocks ore
to think OF such thing.

Surplus, after payment of interest
and expenses Of Government, to be
in gradual liquidation of the public
debt, assuming the peace basis OF
expenses of 1860 '6l... ,lSl, 3ll "
This may seem a small amount of sur
plus for use toward exiiuguishment of the
debt; but it may be- safely assumed that
should the peace expenses exceed hereaf-
trr those previous to the war, the peace
status of the country, with renewed indus
try and enterprise, will so far produce all
excess Of revenue, both from customs and
internal taxation, beyond increased +xpen-
ses, as to leave 50 large an annual surplus
toward extinguishment of the debt as by
and-by to allow some relaxation in taxes
although not called for now by the people
nor by any crippled Industry of the coun-
try. In these remarks, the reader will
bear in mind that the revenues received
heretofore have been from Eastern. North
ern, Middle and Western States only;
that those here after to be received will in
clude that from the great cotton and sugar
and corn States of the South and South
west. The revenue from cotton alone
should increase immensely the revenue.
In 1860, the export of cotton was Sl9l.-
SS6,555, being l,767, SO2,355 pounds
valued at an average Of 10 85-100 cents
per pound. The present price Of 50 cents
will probably not be reduced in the future
below 20 cents. The profit of raising cot
ton at 10 cents was overwhelming. The
cost Of labor when 200 vas paid Cor
negro, (equal to 500 to s25 per month in.
terest in the South,) will be reduced by
hired labor of negroes and whites from Ill
the world at less rates for monthly labor.
1t was good business then 10 raise cotton
at five cents per pound, as every planter
knows. and experience has developed the
fact that no other country can successfully
compete. Whatever Of export duty is
levied upon cotton is premium to the
home manufacturer. The South will be-
spotted all over with cotton factories. An
internal revenue tax of two cents per
pound gives, il We assume the home con.
