were subject to taxation TO tax his
bonds is simply to take money ont Of
one pocket in order to put it into anoth-
er, paying several commissions and
taking several risks during the process.
There is not a single penny to be made
by or saved to the Taxpayers by doing
what Gen. Washburne suggests, but
the contrary; and we trust the People,
the Treasury, and Congress, will pom
der well before giving any countenance
to his project.
Let us say explicitly that we hold
no dollar of Government bonds, and ex-
pect to hold none. When lending to
the Government was an imperative
duty, we invested all we could in those
bonds; but, since Peace returned, all
those have been sold, and the proceeds
put to other uses. We will not be even
plausibly charged with a regard to our
personal interest in advocating q scru-
pulous fidelity to the Nations most sa-
cred engagements, made when she hung
between life and death. ~. T. Tribune.

mo part are jokes. The air is so thick
with lies on election days-we breathe
them so freely-that any one who tells
the truth to the disadvantage Of our
fayorite candidate we set down rs liar.
A candidates character injured more
than half the attacks on his character
have a tendency to give him a more
successful reputation. Hencefcrth he
is a martyr. lie thriyes on notoriety.
His injured innocence, so called, is more
profitable than innocence unassailed.
Political parties do not believe each
other: hence each party is easy with
the private character of its own pets; if
the party is in power what docs the pet
care? He is more afraid of the good
men in his own party; for most men
are believed in their own families. But
family difficulties are generally kept in
doors. Talks about men have nothing
to do with principles Half the support
ers Of great, good principle may be
bad, but the principle remains un-
changed. The principle may be
means of reputation to some bad men;
they may thrive upon it-they may dis
arm the prejudices of good men-they
may do unmeritorious service for the
principle-they may become famous
may be honored for the sake of the
cause. The great, good principle does
more than this for others. 1t makes its
true impression on them-and that i'm
preston is their character in that de-
partment of their life. The principle
cuts into their souls and makes its mark.
"Radicalism" and CONSERVATISM" may
be regarded as terms expressive of the
depth of principle-strokes.
Great mems reputation very often
leave their home-life at home. The
world does homage to, or abuses the
poet or the statesman while he is abroad
upon his great business. Now and then
there is peep into his domicile; but the
pecper never sees the great man at
home; at home, he may be, but the eye
that peeps or the soul that skulks either
sees only the outside of things or takes
observation behind them. Your reveal
er of the everyday home-life of those
who give importance to the days of
earth, are seldom more than caricatur-
lists. They could be in much better
business than manufacturing reputation
for themselves by picking the character
of others. A mans innocent home-life
is his owns but the domestic spy steals
the home charm when he crowds the
gaping world into the dining-room, Ii
Drary nursery and everywhere about
the house. Still your truly great man
is great at home, but not every scape-
grace knows it.

Amateur EcpudlaIiOn.

Gen. II. ID. Washburne of Indiana
wishes the House of Representatives to
resolve that all property should bear its
share of the public burdens; hence,
that the right to tax Government bonds
should be reserved in any future fund
ing of our Public Debt.
Let us consider this as practical pro-
position:
The Government recently needed
very large sums of money-hundreds
of millions per annum-more than 1t
knew how to raise except by borrow
ing. In order to borrow Twenty-Five
Hundred Millions of Dollars in three
years, it was obliged to offer liberal in
ducements to lenders. Being at war
for its existence, there was a chance
that it might never be able to pay.
War stimulates trade, and multipies
opportunities for speculation and profit
able Investment hence, most capitalists
prefer to keep their funds well in hand,
instead of locking them up in long loans.
Yet the money was borrowed, and the
Union saved by means of it, and every
subsequent month has been fruitful in
devices for breaking faith with the lend
ers.
Gen. Washburne does not propose
this; yet his proposition will give aid
and comfort to those who do. His as
scrtion that money ought not to be bor-
rowed as it was borrowed by our Gov
ernment during the War, will be para
ded by them to countenance it not JUS
tify their demand that an important el.
ement of the bargain shall be repudiated
by the borrower.
The Government is at perfect liberty
to make new loans, subject to National,
State and local taxation, and to pay off
its various existing loans as they fall due
in the proceeds of its new taxable loans.
But it is simply faulty to suppose that
this liability to taxation will not be un-
derstood and considered by the lender.
In other words: it is absurd to fancy
that, if he is to be required to pay taxes
on his bonds he will not make his bids
or his purchases at corresponding rates.
Should the taxes amount to one per
cent, for instance, he will pay no more
for a six per cent bond than he would
for one Of five per cent. that should be
wholly exempt for taxation. Thus sub
iecting the bonds to taxation would be
simply adding twenty-five Millions OF
Dollars per annum to the interest of our
National Debt for the chance of getting
Twenty Millions of it returned to our
various general and local treasures by
taxation. What is the net profit Of that
operation!
Need another word be said to expose
the utter baselessness of the assumption
that bond-holders are a favored class !
Do you not see that they do pay taxes
cannot help it? The loans are offered
to all the exemption (or non-exemp-
tom from taxationis an element of their
price; and he who buys non-taxable
bond pays his taxes as truly as others.
He pays in accepting lower rate ofin-
terest than be would do if bis bonds

by that God whose name they bias
pheme, and whose word they despise.
