taxes, the revenue which the Treasury
realized from them barely sufioed to meet
the expenses of the Government; for the rea-
son that full half of those taxes were swal-
lowed up by fraud-by a vast, wide spread,
organized system of collusion between ras-
cally revenue officials and the manufacturers
of whisky, tobacco, etc., and by almost uni
versal peculation, embezzlement and loose
inefficiency of collection. Nine tenths of the
spirits sold in this country at one time were
of fraudulent manufacture and the whisky tax
very nearly ceased to pay the cost of its COL
lection. Two years ago these things were
notorious; now they have ceased to be
heard of.
1t is plain enough that when the vast sink
hole of corruption and fraud, in which half
the heavy taxes wrung from the people we're
sunk, was cleared out and filled up, that half
of the taxes could be remitted without loss
to the Treasury And this is exactly what
happened By act succeeding act Congress
has abolished taxes which, in the aggregate,
if they we're still collected as taxes are col
lected now, would yield more than $3.50, ,OOO,-
600 to the Treasury; and still, after all this
vast volume of taxation has been lifted from
the people, the revenues of the Government
are many millions greater than before. By
so huge a sum is the money-value to the
country of an honest administration mea-
sured.

REDUCING TAXES AND INCREASING
REVENUE.
From the Bu6alO Express.

From the Bu6alO Express.
The Courier affects to be unable to under
stand how taxes have been abolished to the
extent that they have been by successive
acts OF Congress since 1866, and yet the re-
venue collected during the past year proves to
be greater than ever. Let us see if we can
illustrate the process so that our simple
minded contemporary will be able to COM
prehend it.
We will suppose that certain street rail-
road company had been charging for a long
time passenger fare of ten cents, but had
employed during that time set of dishonest
conductors, who either pocketed half the
fares they collected or else were in collusion
with lot of the regular passengers over the
road and permitted the latter to steal their
rides. 1t would happen in such a case
that while the public were heavily oppressed
by an exorbi tant rate of charge upon the
road, the company, instead of being made
rich by that exorbitancy, would find itself
going the road to bankruptcy.
Suppose then that, all at once, it lowered
its rate of fare to five cents, and at the same
time cleared out the whole pack of dishonest
conductors and put honest men in their
places, who began to honestly collect every
fare, and to honestly account for il. The
probability is that the company, notwith-
standing the great reduction of its charges.
would find its revenues heavily increased. Il
Now that is just what has happened in the
matter of the reduction of national taxes.

tration of Andrew Johnson, while the people
bore the weight OF enormous and oppressive

RUSSIA'S OPPORTUNITY.

FToHl tAS W r. ifne6.
'Russia retires within herself, said Prince
Gortschakoff at the end of the Crimean War.
''There is no abatement in the military pre-
parations of Russia, is the language of the
telegrims. Between the two phrases there
lies Muscovite epoch with wonderful his
tory. With the issue of the latter begins a
new era for Russia and the world. For the
Empire of the Car is not merely dynasty
1t is civilization; not merely great power,
but the embodiment of great principle and
the promise of social revolution. Cavour
once said to Russian diplomatist, ''the
equal rights you give your peasants to the
soil are more dangerous to us Westerns than
your armies. The Russia that England
and France fought fifteen years ago exists
no longer. The sternly repressive system of
Nicholas is as dead as the choleric old EN-
peror himself Within less than half a gene
ration, twenty. three millions of bondsmen
have been set free; public opinion has grown,
apparently out of nothing, to be power in
the State; the Government may be criticised
without the critic being sent to Siberia. and
where all was torpor and reaction there is
now ferment of intellectual activity and
of bold political theorizing. ''We have
everywhere in the world to set the bonds
man free Is the watchword of the Russian
communist, and apart from the levelling ex
travagances of the nihilists, communism in
Russia is different creed from what is
professed under the same name by certain
dreamers IN Western Europe and among our
selves. The commune is the unit of Russian
political life. Each member of it is respon-
sible for the other, and the Government deals
with it through the Starost, or head of the
community, as an individual. The land ap-
pertaining to an agricultural village is cnlti-
waited for the common good individual owner
ship is reckoned an exceptional condition of
property, and collective possession the nor
mai one. There, however, the communistic
theory ends, and, unless among certain ex.
tremists, no intention is ever professed to
vulgarize the most sacred relations of life
by applying to them the cooperative econo-
my of the farm.

THE NAVIGATION LAWS AND AMERICAN
SHIpBUILDING. President Grants message to
Congress on the subject Of the navigation laws,
with the Parliamentary discussion raised
thereon, are treated in lengthy editorial, in
the London Times The pith Of the argument
is summed up by the writer thus 1--WE do
not believe that the system of drawbacks, sub
sides and bounties advocated by the committee
and the President can, under the present con-
ditions of the labor market and of the manu-
facture of iron, place the American yards on a
level with the establishments on the Clyde and
the Tyne. Free trade, frankly accepted, may do
so after period of trial. The report Of the
committee asserts that the trade of the East
ern seas, with all the commercial wealth of
India, China and japan, is at the command of
the enterprise Of America If she will only
hold 6S0t her hand for it, How Can she bold
out her hand so long as she is manacled by 4
navigation law which compels the American
merchant to pay twice as much for his ships
as bis European competitor" inst so.
