The present Congress has entered
upon the only practical mode Of pay
ing the debt and reducing taxation.
Itkhas 10 its appropriations for Che
coming year restored the country to
peace establishments The navy has
heen.keduced from az, 600, 600 to 81, =
900, 900; the army from $50, 600 900 to
S33, 100000; the civil service in like
proportion; and, in short, the ordinary
expenses of the civil and military SER.
vice of the Government have been
placed where they stood before. the
war, at or about $50, 100000 per an
mum in gold. An adherence to that
policy will enable the annual increase
of population, production and wealth
of the country to rapidly reduce. the
public debt, with even a gradually.
diminishing scale Of taxation. The
taxation and expenditures of Great
Britain have Increased, and her debt
is slowly charging. Under the
American policy of reducing the ex-
penditures, the taxes may also be re-
duced, and yet afford liberal margin
of revenue to extinguish the interest
bearing debt.

What the Rebels are After.

The struggle going on between Con
gress and johnson involves simply
the question whether the rebels shall
hereafter govern In all the Southern
States, to the exclusion Of all loyal
men, or whether they shall not. II
the ex-rebels succeed In reinstating
themselves, they expect by uniting
with Northern Copperheads to control
the legislation Of Congress hereafter,
and to pass acts of indemnity for their
losses by the rebellion. One of the
measures which they mean to have
adopted is to be paid for all their
slaves. Both Kentucky and Mary
laed have already asserted that this
claim of payment for slaves is just.
and they demand that it shall be so
considered, and discharged by the
government. This is one of the bills
that is to be presented TO the new
Congress when that body shall have
a majority made up of ex-rebels and
Northern Copperheads. Another de-
mand to be made of this new Con-
gress, is the assumption Of the Con-
federate debt, as being equally bind
ing on the country with the Union
debt; or, as an alternative PROPOSE
ton, the Reputation of both.
The first step in this scheme of IN
paralleled fraud and effrontery is to
make sure that the rebel States are
reconstructed in accordance with my
policy" IF that could be carried
through, it would seem as though the
infamous attempt we're sure of sue
cess. If a loyal Congress could be
by any means be put out of the way
or controlled: if the Supreme Court
could only be used to nullify its acts;
if the Executive could only usurp
power enough to resist and defy its
laws, all would be we'll. Aud it is
because Congress stands so firmly be-
tween this scheme of the traitors for
regaining power and reimbursing their
losses, that all this uproar and clamor
are heard. Congress will not let
rebels rule the country ,Ineither will it
give into their hands the keys of the
Treasury. The Government is not to
be turned over to a set of bloody
handed and defeated traitors; the
labor and wealth Of the country are
not to be used up In paying their
losses. Hence all this sound and
fury from them and their Copperhead
allies Chicago Tribune.

our Financial Mistake.

Our financial policy is not wholly
responsible tor the still existing de-
preston IN business and the nom en-
plOyment of so many Industrious me
ehanics and labOrers who are eyeI
willing to work for an honest living
The depression and the distress are
mot confined TO this country, but as
far as known the cry is for work and
for bread. 1t seems to be true that
greater numbers Of industrious peo-
pie are now out Unemployment than
ever before In times of business de-
pressions; but that may be accounted
for, IN part at least, by the fact that
our cities are so much larger and
more denselyi crowded in proportion
to the whole population Of the coun-
try, than ever before, and it is in the
cities that the wall of the suffering is
heard 1t is said that never before
were respectable mechanics In New
York City compelled to take lodgings
IN police quarters; but that city Is
vastly larger than at any previous la
Dor crisis, and is far more Overcrowd-
ed in proportion to its population.
Poverty aud distress are IN proper
ton to the size Of cities.
1t cannot be den ed that our foreign
trade has been a great loss to US in
consequence of financial mistakes. 1t
was a great mistake in imposing ex-
cises on domestic goods with which
foreign goods come in competition,
since the true object of imposts was
to counterfeit the effects Of making
deprecated paper legal tender for
debts. The moment coin ceased to
be the only legal tender, gold was de-
prived Of its legitimate market, and
since the close of the war it has not
commanded the price In paper to
which it was naturally entitled.
Hence, foreign importers could sell
their goods for paper, and with the
paper get more than a fair return in
gold. This great advantage they have
had in consequence of our excuses on
domestic goods, which nearly balanc-
ed the tariff. The mistake was Ia the
excuses. The tariff shou have been
designed to balance the difference be-
tween gold as it has stood in the market,
and gold at the price it should have
commanded. Suspension of specie
payments was, and still is, a necessity,
and the effects we have alluded to
should have been counteracted.-Cin-
eiRndti Times.
