happiness of being translated to Paris would
lose all Of its app0siteness were 1t understood
that upon their arrival there they would be
compelled to pay the local taxes which NJ.
Haussman, the Prefect of that earthly para
disc, levies on it's inhabitants. His budget
for the present year is $50, 900, 900 - some-
thing more than twice the amount OF ths mu-
nicipal taxation of New York. The city of
Paris now has debt of its own of S4O0 0O0,-
0O0, and all the other principal cities of
France have similar blessings. The bureau
of taxation falls on the consumer, and the
poorest laborer finds his comforts and even
his necessities heightened in price by the in
crease of the governmental expenditures.
But neither does the petty capitalist, the
small merchant, or the farmer escape. There
are the license tax, the registration dues, and
the land tax, which pluck even these
pigeons. In announcing the new loan, which
the Government finds itself compelled TO ask
for, it does not propose to meet it, OF even
the interest upon it, by the impositi N of
any new taxes. The limit which the peo-
pie can bear has apparently been reached,
and the new loan, or the deficit which the
payment of its interest will ere long make in
the revenue, already too small by thirty five
millions annually, can only be met by still
newer loan. This cannot go on forever, Of
course, and when the time arrives when tais
wild game can be played no longer,
there must be a smash. We have lately
been travelling rapidly along the same down
ward road. The expenditures of our Govera-
ment are greater than the receipts, and when
the deficiency bills come to be made up next
winter, the people will be astounded at the
revelations that will be made of the reck-
lessness and ineficiency of the present
Radical Congress. Things have come to
such pass in France that even the
best management may prove Inadequate to
prevent final ruin. But it is only the most
culpabe carelessness and corruption that
have brought the United States into a similar
condition; and bad as the present financial
situation is, the country can soon be made
prosperous again by the reforms of vigo-
rous, honest, and enlightened Democratic ad-
mnistration.

disfranohise the colored race and reconstruct
the South on the white vote only, With the
Southern Constitutions, the Southern Rapub-
lican party, white and black, the two Houses

of Congress, and the great Republican party
of the North opposing them, would only pro
tract, during four years to come, the agony
and disoord of the past four years, increase
the antagOpism between the races, and re-
kindle the smouliering and nearly extin-
guished embers of the late Rebellion. The
continuance of military Governments for
many years to come would be the least of the
evils growing out of such an attempt to
make a revolution move backward. When
the Democratic party demand in the same
platform the immediate restoration of the
Union" and the abolition of negro suffrage,
we ask which they mean. Both are i'm
possible.

The Financial Planks of the Democratic
Platform.
From the ". Y. Times.

eT0nl He ~. Y. Tunes.
The IVorld which has hitherto manfully re-
sisted Mr.. Pendleton's financial propositions as
unjust and impolitic, makes their incorpora-
tion into the Democratic platform the occasion
of special eXultation. "We cordially indorse
the financial part of the platform, and will
stand by every word OF it's the emphatic
saying with which our contemporary chroni-
cles its approval. The World, then, 'cor-
daily indorses'' what until now it has vigo-
TOusly and consistently condemned, and pro-
misses to ''stand by every word" of what it
rebuked and repudiated when originally ut
tered by MIR. Pendleton.
The process by which the World overcomes
the scruples of conscience which must have
been awakened by the sudden change is anus
ing, though neither novel nor unexpected.
We are asked to believe that Pendleton has
been converted to the World doctrine, in the
face of the fact that so much of the platform as
relates to the bonds and the currency was die
tated by the PendletOn section of the party,
and forms an unmistakable expression of their
views. Admitting the explicitness of these
declarations, the organ of the New York De-
mOcracy yet insists that they carry a meaning
exactly the opposite of that which their pro-
mOters intended to convey. Let us see what
ground exists for this Interpretation.
The three resolutions, which must be read
together, and which will form very promi-
nent feature of the contest, are as follows
Payment Of the public debt of the United
states as rapidly as practicable; all moneys
drawn from the people by taxation, except SO
much as is requisite for the necessities OF the
Government, economically adminis,e cred, being
honestly applied TO such payment, and where

and again cheered."
The cheers which greeted the reading o
these resolutions show that they were wei
