THE FINANCIAL POLICY-wHAT WILL
1T BE2


From the Pittsburg CommerctaL
The heads of the several departments of
the Government are understood TO be en-
gagged on the preliminary work of framing the
annual reports Certain parts of these the
President will require q considerable time
prior to the assembling of Congress TO enable
him to prepare his message The greatest
interest will centre ON the finances; and it is
fair to presume that President Grant and
Secretary Boutwell, are prepared to recon-
mend distinct policy for the future.
What 1T will be in general sense
the course pursued by Mr. Boutwell, pretty
distinctly indicates. The central idea
will be the funding of the debt at low
rate of interest To this there will be an
obstacle at the threshold-the exchanging of
six per cent. for four per cent bonds, with
out compulsory legislation, which would be
inconsistent with that perfect faith to which
the Secretary and the administration hold
and will under all circumstances hold. On
this point it is reasonable to expect the Secre-
tary will be prepared to make practical re-
commendations to Congress. 1t is, as will
at once be seen, one presenting great diff
culties. We're our credit less firm and the
future less certain, they might be considered
somewhat less grave. They interfere with
our assured financial strength. Holders
of six per cent. bonds must be furnished
with an inducement for surrender
ing those for others of a lower rate
of interest What will the Secretary
recommend as such inducement? On this
will depend largely the reduction of the taxes
which the country is expecting, and which the
administration feels confident, apparently, of
accomplishing at the next session of Con-
gress. 1t is problem of present difficulties,
and the solution which Mr.. Boutwell, will be
prepared to recommend will cause his report
to be waited for with an unusual degree of
interest. In the estimation of some the
question involves the revision of the tariff
and the readiustment of duties purely on the
revenue basis. To do this, and at the same
time realize the expected reduction of taxes, to
the extent of something like one hundred mil
lions annually, will tax the craftsmanship of
the administration and Congress. OF course
free trade must be wholly out of the question
Such policy would necesstate direct taxa
ton for the lost revenue, and the gold needed
to meet the fixed wants of the Government,
and to a very considerable degree dry up the
sources of internal taxes. There must be a
| tariff-one which will afford a certain large
revenue and preserve the energies of the
country whereby internal taxation can be
borne, to supply the balance necessary to
meet all the obligations of the nation, which
are fixed and inevitable. Will purely
revenue tariff do this? Must it not neces-
sarily be protective, call it what you will?
And will it not be to this complexion that
| Congress must come at last?

THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.

FFon, the N. Y. Sun.
If revolutions could be made to order, and
delivered on day appointed in advance, we
ought to have heard before this that Louis
Napoleon has been driven from the throne of
France, and either that an Orleanist or a
Bourbon king has succeeded him, or that the
French Republic has been proclaimed anew.
Yesterday was the last day of the period of six
months since the dissolution of the old
Legislature within which, according to the
French Constitution, the newl y-elected Legisla-
ture must be called together. The Emperor,
disregarding the requirement, has fixed the
29th of November as the day of meeting.
He is forearmed as we'll as forewarned, and if
he is worsted in the encounter, it will be
because his old ability has deserted him.
Still, it is only too evident that France is
in condition extremely unfavorable to the
future prospects of the reigning monarch
The workingmen are excited to an alarming
degree; half Paris is on a strike; formidable
riots have occurred within a few weeks at
various places; and the liberty newly granted
to the press has been availed of to give ex-
preston to the most bitter hatred of the EN-
peror and ardent wishes for the restoration
of the republic. The emissaries of the Duke
Of Orleans are as busy as the radical dema-
gogues in tanning these sparks into flames,
and though they may be arrested and impris-
oned, that will not eXtinguish the disaffection.
The Emperor must be at his wits end to
know what to do.
To us Americans the moral of this crisis in
France is obvious. 1t is that no government
is so stable as that which the people are
allowed by law to make for themselves II
is not questioned that Louis Napoleon is as
able and patriotic a ruler as any whom the
suffrages of French voters would be likely to
elect. He has conducted the affairs of the
nation, as Presidant and Emperor, with con-
summate skill for more than twenty years.
Internally the country has prospered in ma
nufactures, commerce, and the accumula.
ton of wealth. Externally, she is feared
and respected as much if not more, than in the
proudest days of her past history. The
Italian campaign of 1859 was worthy OF
Julius Caesar; while the improvements of the
city of Paris recall the achievements of Angus
tus. Yet in spite of all this, the French peo
pie are restless and dissatisfied because they
are denied that personal liberty and share in
the affairs of State SO dear to every patriotic
citizen. If they knew that they could get rid
of their Emperor whenever they pleased, they
would probably keep him in office till he died
but the more he tries to be independent OF
their will, the more determined they will be
on effecting his downfall.

THE PRESIDENTS OPINION OF MR.
FISK

THE PRESlDENIO > OElNlON VI MN.
FISK.
Fyon, the NJ j. Herald.
We have the information from a special
source at Washington that, on having his
attention called in a recent conversation to
the bold attempt of Fisk, Jr., on one of the
Sound steamers last summer to obtain from
Ibe President advance Information of the
financial policy of the Government, General
Grants reply was substantially this:-'I don't
know but should have been insulted had it
come from any other but person Like Fisk;
Int coming from man SO destitute of moral
character. didn't think it worth noticing" 3"
Now. taking this as the expressed opinion of
General Grant, we are somewhat startled by
II because we know that he is careful in what
he saws touching the character of any man or
anv question: because we know that he has a
remarkable perception of the peculiar quail
ties of men in distinguishing one man
from another, and because we had
supposed, as the world goes, that Mr..
Fist's moral character was all right
eyen~with the churchmen among the bulls and
bears and lame ducks on Change. Nor do
we calculate that General Grant refers to Mr..
Fisk's oDera 50ub6 arrangements, or anything
of that sort; but that in the opinion given of
the Erie financier the President simply means
that as a speculator of the New England
Puritan school of Barnum, Fisk, according to
the rigid old fashioned Illinois standard of
integrity, is destitute of moral character
destitute in being, at all hazards, ''on the
make, and in acting upon the idea that the
end justifes the means, and upon the
doctrine that the morality of Yankee shrewd-
ness is to be measured by its success in money
making. But if Mr.. Fisk is to be condemned
upon these grounds, who among the gold
gamblers and stock jobbers of Wall street
will be able to stand! Shall he be made the
scapegoat for the whole tribe ? That is the
question ?

THE TRUE TEST.
From the n. Y. Times.

From the NJ L, Times
Increased efficiency in the collection of
revenue, and rigorous economy in expendi-
lures, were prominent features of the plat
form on which General Grant was elected.
The Republican party pledged itself to pro-
mote these objects, and General Grant was
chosen to accomplish them. How he has
performed his duty? How has the party re-
deemed its promise?
The work of the first six months of the
administration are known. They are not,
indeed, the period by which the measures of
any administration should be judged At the
outset of its career, there are obstacles to be
overcome arising from the action or nom
action of its predecessor; there is an expert
ence to be gained, and start to be made
under all the disadvantages which attend the
Inauguration of new departmental regille
Notwithstanding these drawbacks, however,
General Grant and the statesmen he has
gathered about him have effected much. By
imparting greater vigilance and fidelity to the
collection of revenue, and by zealously sus-
tanning the plan of Congress in the matter of
retrenchment, they have in single half year
secured for the country a gain of fifty-six
millions of dollars.
The aggregate increase of revenue falls
little short of twenty millions, con-
siderably more than four-ffths of which
have been derived from internal
sources-precisely those sources which,
under Mr.. Johnsons rule, were most
neglected. On the other hand, the decrease
in expenditures-army, navy, and civil SER
vice-approach very nearly thirty-seven mil
ions-the exact gain being $56, 461, 157, as
compared with the transactions of Mr.. John
sons administration during the correspond
ing half of 1868.
And the good work goes on with an almost
absolute certainty that the proportion of
gain will hereafter be yet larger. The ad-
ministration is doing its duty, and the coun,
try will reap the profit

rT0nL the W. 4 heTpu.
BY the Atlantic cable we have a condensed
synopsis of the editorial remarks published
by the leading journals of London in
comment on the life and public services of
the late Earl of Derby. The writer's accord
him all good qualities as private gentleman
and refined and polished scholar; but they
step aside to condemn or repudiate his Sim
pulsiveness' in politics, as well as to pro-
: claim that he lacked "statesmanlike tenn

British conservatism is contrasted, and In an
unfavorable light for his memory, side by
side with the radical democracy of Italy, and
held forth as having been far inferior in ITS
patriotic expression to that which now ami
mates the promoters of the Irish Church Dis
establishment bill and such like advanced
measures. 1t is alleged every day that ''re-
publics are ungrateful," but what will be
said of the public men of Britain who write
up the monarchy to-day in that country? We
suspect, however, that there is good deal of
political party tactic maneuvre in all this,
and that it is used by the old school Tories of
England with the view of running the present
Earl of Derby, with his workingmen and
. trades unionists friends, off the track in the
contest for the leading prize in the new field
of English politics.
