YNR KEV.E.vY'E REFOR.HERS.

The following article Is go replete In itself,
ind go briefly lays down the doctrine OF Reve-
DUG Reform. that we reproduced it We feel
confident that 1t will meet the views Of large
majority Of thinking people:
1t Is said that meu do not always know their
tnends, and we were reminded Of the saying
when We read President Grants jocular allusion
u bus message to the Revenue Reformers. BY
his hypothetical mention Of them, az among
those who are in favor Of raising all the rev.
enues Of the Government by direct taxation, -
process which he rightly judges would at the
present time involve repudiation,-he avows
himself thor antagonist. Neither that suppo-
etioa, however. nor any other misapprehen-
sion, will avail to separate those who, cherish
ing common aims, ought to act together, and
will, we predict, soon be found 30 acting. 1t
cannot be otherwise than an object Of the Ad-
ministration to promote the great industrial
interests Of the country, by the most favorable
adjustment Of the revenues to be raised
Here is Just where the Revenue Reformers
come forward and offer TO put their shoulder
70 the wheel They have Just as solemn a
sense o. the invioIability Of the national faith
az any body else; thy understand Just as well
what that rieans in the way Of revenue, and
they are just as ANXIOUS to have the taxes 30
distributed as to encourage to the utmost the
BUSINESS Of the country. But they claim, on
the other hand, that our general revenue sys-
tenn, framed during the war for war purposes,
- cumbrous and confused. i'll -adapted to the
present condition of the people. bears with
crushing effect upon many great interests, and
interposes decided barrier to the general re-
covery OF the national prosperity.
They advocate, therefore, what they consider
- more excellent way" and they claim that
their policy has already INDICATED itself by it's
good results, 30 far as it has been tried Take
one of their principles, namely, constant re-
duction Of taxation. The Secretary OF the
yreasury-whose fidelity and efficiency as an
administrator OF his department cannot be too
highly pra,sei-was adverse last year, as he ia
this, to any dimuniton OF the revenues. Con-
gress, however. moved by public opinion, near
tho close OF the last session, struck of eighty
millions of taxation And vet the Secretary
had over one hundred millions of surplus last
year, and the returns OF the current fiscal year
thus far Indicate that there will be another sur
plus as unnecessarily large. Whether the Rev
enue Reformers. whose efforts first took shape
ON this question. understand better than the
secretary that this Is . growing country under
any circumstances, under any mistaken
financial system; or whether, while he is
thinking OF revenue and using it they are
thinking how 1t can be raised wish No greatest
advantage TO the country. wo submit that their
plan of reduction. and the facts they bring for
yard in ITS support, are worthy Of oarefu' con-
siderstlon.
Al vc understand the matter, they propose
TO follow up tho relief TO the people. Aware
