TnE INCOME TAx.--Tho TiJmH
and the Times, the two chief liadi-
cad organs of New York, and, iu-
deed, Of the country, oppose The
present income tax. The Tribune,
which has hitherto opposed any
change in the law, now strongly
urges tscntire repeal, and the 7ihlcs
favors its reduction from five per
cent. to two. The tax at five per
cent. yields from thirty-tour to
thlrty.fvc millions q year, and the
Times is confident, that, at two, it
would, if rigidly enforced, yield
twenty millions and be borne cheer
fully. But Grant and Boutwell, will
undoubtedly go for the rc-cnact-
mcnt Of the oppressive and obnoX-
ious law just as It is, and Congress,
there is strong reason to believe, will
go with them. We expect the law,
with all its accurscd brood Of op-
pressions, frauds, and pcrjuries, to
remain. The rights and Interests
OF the Nation are moulded to fit the
Administration. II il as If d man
