Commissioner Wells has made lengthy
reply to the article on American public
finances, which appeared in Blackwood's 9
Magazine. IIe disposes in easy style of
various flagrant errors Of fact committed by
the writer, such as the statement that there
isdifitrential income tax, tl'at trnds circu.
lars must bo stamped, that tie income and
property tax is the main reliance ofthe gov.
eminent, &c. He shows that the condition
ofthc cxcliequer this year Is quite rs favor
able as that at any former time, and Is, in
deed, quite unparalleled in the financial
history of any other country. Tie denies
the statement. that the customs dues arc
falling off, and that the aggregate debt at
the close of the war and the relation Of
greenbacks to that debt have never been
explained. lie correcfs un exaggerated es
innate of our local Indebtedness, and con-
cludes by dcprcciating the spirit Of such at
tacks upon the United States. The letter Is
printed in the London Times, which paper
comments upon II ia n non .committal style.
