The Income law.

The Income Law.
The law imposing the Income Tax,
expires during the coming year by its
own limitation, aud it will bo removed,
unless Congress shall renew it. There
are. 1nnauy advocates for exemption Of
incomes, but We are not yet prepared
for it. Our National debt is still
heavy, and though it has been decreaa.
ed at a rapid rate, unprecedented inthe
history Of Nations, yet the improve
ment in our credit is not sufficient to
invite undue liberality;, when. We get
our debt into consuls, bearing a lower
rate Of il terest, we may begin to let up
a little, Only through this law do We
reach the wealthy bondholders, who
have put their capital into bonds, which
are not taxable, either by the State or
Nation. Gas a political measure the
Republican party must not assume.
i" the responsibility Of excmpting from
!" taxation the wealthy men who draw
"large incomes from coupons, Interest
F." and rents. 1t is enough that We
P' have to contend against repudiation-
i" lists and those who complain because
Z" bonds are not taxed, without adding
g another privileged class. Such bond
i" holders are taxed on their net an
:" nual income: and in that way help to
support the government. 1t will not
do to tax the income ofsthe enterpris-
{. ing manufacturer who puts his mon
" ey in works which sustain a large
population, conferring thereby immense
"bcne6ts on the community at large,
and then exempt the crafty capitalist
who seeks the safest and least expen-
sive investments that can be found.
"The bond owner has exemption
enough-we are willing to abide by
" tho contract We made with him to
t:the utmost Of the letter and spirit
thereoE-but no more. At present
"ouly let the tax on the poor mans tea,
coffee and sugar be taken off-but let
"the wealthy render to the govern
s ment. the tribute due to it for the
/" fidelity with which their interests
"have been always guarded.
T It is said our people are uncommonly
sensitive about officials prying into
their private affairs. There is force in
the objection but they have been taught
by the events of the late war to snbdut
their cxtromc sensibility. 1t WIS some
time before We quietly submitted t.
direct taxes, but We have, come to
end rov consider it the best adapted
mode to our necessities. We arc not
prepared to dispense with tho income
tax. It meets our present nece ssity
Our chief concern is to pay the. debt
improve the. public credit, until the
payment Of interest is reduced, ant
then talk. about exemption to thos
, who consider themselves oppressed.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The first annual message by Prcsi-
dent Grant was sent to Congress on
Monday. 1t is much more lengthy
than We had anticipated, but its length
is dne to the multitude Of topics on
which it ranges. Upon these topics
the views of the administration has
been looked for with intense interest.
On the Financial question, the Presi-
dent gives very satisfactory ideas, which
will generally be endorsed BY the Re-
publicans, aud which has been awaited
with deep anxiety. He considers the
irredeomable currency an evil growing
out of the war, which should command
the carly attention Of Congress, and
that part, and one of the highest du-
ties Of the government is to secure to
the citizens medium of exchange of
fixed unvarying value, aud that immedi-
ate resumption, if practicable, would
not be desirable; that it would compel
the debtor class to pay beyond their
contracts the premium of gold at the
date Of their purchases and would bring
bankruptcy and ruin to thousands. He
earnestly recommends such legislation
as will insure a gradual return to specie
payments, and put an immediate stop
to fluctuations in the value Of currency;
to secure which, the treasury to redeem
its own paper at a fixed price whenever
presented and to withhold from circu-
lation all such currency redeemed until
sold for gold. AZ. s..& - .
He suggests that, the Governor Of
Georgia be empowered to convene the
old Legislature requiring each. mem-
Der to take the oath, who are eligible
under the third clause Of the 18th amend
ment. ~..%
He takes bold and high tone towards
England regarding the Alabama Claims
and opposes reciprocity with Canada,
and recommends neutral attitude to-
wards Cuba.
Our foreign relations are generally
in very satisfactory condition.
A synopsis of the reports ofthe va
rious Departments Of the government is
given, exhibiting a healthy condition
Of their transactions, during the past
year.
On the whole, the message is good
one, and will command the praise Of all
good men. 1t is fair, candid and coin.
cise, treating tho various matters with
commendable sogacity, and casts into
shades all doubts as to the policy which
the administration designed pursuing,

VERITAS.

FAILING OFF--Las: year the total
product of the ConIstock was only S.
400, ,769, which is falling off from the
product of 1867 of S5,120,O0O The divi-
dends paid amoaut 10 $2.415.500, of
which one company the Savage, paid
$1,1S4, 900, and the Yellow Jacket and
Crown Point each $360.000, while the
little Kentuck distributed the handsome
sum OF $4S0000 The Imperial $4,000
ana the Gold Hill Quartz $500 com-
plete the list of dividend-paying mines.
Even of these six mines the dividends
do not represent clear profit; as the
Yellow Jacket had an assessment of
SI50.O00. the Imperial one OF $780,
900, the Gold Hill ore of $4,000. and
the Crown Point one of $4,000. Besides
these there were fourteen other mines
in which assessments were levied and
various amounts of bullion, from zero
to 1886, 5,07S (Chollar Potosi) produced,
without profits enough to justify divi-
dends. The total of assessments is
81 S25 500, and the apparent net profits
in the production of eight millions and
half of bullion is only $590,O00! The
aggregate expense of working the mines
on the Comstock veins for the last year
appears TO be 93 per cent. of their ag>
gregate production. The enormous cost
of production is worse feature than
the decrease of product, and points TO
the necessity for some radical economy.
