WILL FIGURES LtE?-We find the following going
the rounds Of the papers
The battle Of Waterloo closed sixty-fve years Of
English war, in which time the British Government
borrowed -, l75 .00O, 900 and raised Sos. 945. OO0,-
600 by taxes: a total Of $40, l20, 0O0. 900 extended
in war for purposes which certainly did not rise TO
the level OF national preservation. Ia twelve years
OF war against Napoleon the same country expended
5,795, DOC, 900, or FIVE hundred millions per annum."
We wonder il any one has given these second and
taIrd numbers s. thought. II the statement is true,
Great Britain LAID an average tax each year proceed
ing 1915 Of 81 ,629, 923, or, or a sum nearly equal
TO our present national debt. No such taxes could be
collected by any nation that ever existed for such a
length Of time. The whole annual tax OF Great
Britain now, i only about a quarter OF 3 billion,
and she has 10 strain every nerve to gei that.-and
everybody knows that in the first part Of this CEN
what she Is now.
The truth is somewhere about this When Eng
land commenced the revolutionary war, she was in
debt about four hundred and fifty millions of dollars.
When she got through with Bonaparte IN 1915, she
was in debt about three billions seven hundred mil
lions OF dollars, nearly the amount she owes TO day.
During the twenty years she was engaged fighting
Bonaparte s. Co, and Substituting several European
governments, she expended about five billions TWO
hundred and fifteen millions OF dollars. of which she
raised By taxation a little short OF three billions Of
our information is correct or one hundred and fifty
million dollars per year. During the last ninety days
Of the struggle with Bonsparte. and ending with
Waterloo, she expended on su average FIVE million
dollars per day.

The Vital Mistake.

The Ne,o York Times, in leader on "The
Projects and Prospects of Peace" says:
"There is, perhaps, no special objection
to the President renewing the protfers of
peace he has so often made-no harm prob
ably would result from proclamation to
the Southern people on the subject If he
chooses to issue one. But we do not see
what good it could do, nor is there the
slightest occasion for it. The rebels 'otlI
fqht as long as they cdn-and, 1ohen they cannot
yfght any longer, they totH submit"
AS the misapprehension embodied in the
above extract seems to us to have already
done much harm, while there is at least a
possibility that it will do still more, we
must endeavor to expose and dissipate it.
The Times, with many others, speaks OF
"the Rebels" as though they were thor
oughly homogeneous, animated by one
spirit, impelled by like motives, and likely
to regard with equal favor or disfavor any
proposal looking to Peace.
1t is quite true that some of "the rebels
will fight as long as they can;" but it Is
equally true that others have already had
fighting enough, as our long lists of deser-
ters from their ranks conclusively attest.
And there are a good many more where
these came from; and still more whom lib
eral proflers would detach from their pres
ent adhesion to the Confederacy. Hence we
ardently trust that, should the President
fail in negotiating with the rebel chiefs, he
will try the experiment of making over
lures directly to the insurgent States and
their people. We feel great confidence that
such overtures would achieve decided,
even though primarily partial, success

Tbe New Revenue Tax Law.

To-day the new revenue law goes into eff
feet. There have been many changes, not SO
much by the Introduction of new items of
taxation as by increase upon those which
have hitherto paid duty. With few ex-
-ceptions all the articles mentioned in sec
ton ninety-four are increased in duty one
fifth. This section includes almost every
description of natural production or manu-
facture which the policy of the Government
has thus far subjected to taxation, and gen
orally the rates were dd cdlorem. Where the
tax was five per cent, 1t now becomes six
per cent; where it was three per cent. 1t is
now three and six-tenths, and where it was
two per cent, it will be two and four-tenths.
The introduction of these fractions will
make calculations Of the amounts Of duty
more difficult than they have hitherto been,
Segars, cigarettes, smoking and chewing
tobacco and snuff are assigned new
rates. The most noticeable change is that
all segars are taxed ten dollars per thous-
and, or one cent each, without regard to
value. Under the old law, some segars paid
forty dollars per thousand, or four cents
each, and the low grades two ceIlts each.
The license law remains nearly the same
as before. The additional employments

Success of the 7-3O Loan.

Our readers will observe that subscrip-
tions to this popular Loan are continued in
the most liberal manner. The success OF
the 7-3O Loan, and other Loans like it, has
astonished the Old World. Our Govern
ment does not seek to borrow in Europe;
it offers no premiums to bankers, but ap-
peals to the people; and to show how sue
cessful these appeals have been, 1t need on
ly be stated, that during forty-three days
there were subscribed and paid down in
cash one hundred and strty-one million dollars,
for 1905. This is indicative of strong pub
lie confidence in Government securities.
While nearly all other Stocks have gone
down from twenty to fifty, and even great
er per cent, within few weeks, all forms
of United States Bonds and Stocks have re-
mained firm, except the slight fluctuations
that are incident to all rapid changes in the
money market. 1t must not be forgotten
that the subscribers to the 7-30 Loan receive
semi-annual interest at the rate of seven
and three-tenths per cent. per annum in
currency, and at the end of three years from
June 18th, 1865, they will have the option
of receiving payment in full, or converting
their notes into $40 six per cent. gold
interest bond. The late great decline in the
premium on gold makes tho"e notes more
desirable than ever as an investment, and
IL should be remembered that their exemp-
ton from State or municipal taxation adds
largely to their value. There is no inter
ruption in the receipt of subscriptions or
the delivery of the notes. All banks, bank
ers, and others acting as Loan Agents, will
pay subscribers the interest in advance
from the day OF subscription until June

which require license are ''miners," tex.
press companies" +" and Substitute brokers. ,
The section requiring license for general
business" or for any business not specially
mentioned, has been stricken out. In the
stamp regulations there are very few alter
atlons. Those which are made affect as,
signments of leases, express companies and
some other interests. The new subjects OF
taxation are crude petroleum, law blanks
and printed forms, and some OF the manu-
features of copper, lead, brass and lron.-

The Folly of Mankind. d.

A company opened an Office in Chegan
Alley, during the South Sea mania, to re-
ceive subscriptions for raising a million,
Tor purpose to be known after the mil
lion was raised. The people flocked in
and paid five shillings on every fifty pounds
they subscribed. A large sum was thus
collected, when an advertisement was
published, announcing that the subscribers
might have their deposits without any de-
duction, as the proioot of the directors was
merely trial to see how many fools they
could make in one day.
