wH1r MEANS "REVEYUE REFoRuy~

WH8T MEANS REVENUE REFORM"
Mr. David A. Wells contributes 10 the cur
rent North american RepieW an essay wherein
he assumes to answer the above question. We
propose to consider it.
Mr.. Wells makes a general assault on the
Protective policy and Is especially venomous
IN his attacks upon President Grant and Sec
retary Boutwell, in connection Herewith. The
President. in his first Annual Message,
serted the notorious fact that the phrase
Revenue Reform" ls made to mean what
ever the person using 1t sees fit to understand
by II. Here ia a wooden manufacturer who wants
TO import his Wool and other materials free
of duty; so he is for Revenue Reform" Here
10 a sbOe-bOs3 who wants to import Leather
on the same footing; he is for I" Revenue
Reform" Here il tanner who wants Hides
free of duty; he ia for Revenue Reform
They don't tell the farmers, "What we mean
" Is to get your Hides, your Wool, &c, cheaper
than we now do;' they do MT tell their work
men, 1--WE want the Tariff broken down, so
" that We may buy your labor far cheaper than
" now, by importing cheaper foreign products
s. in lien of those you now make, until You
shall be ready to work for lower wages rather
exactly what they do mean. Mr.. Wells con-
fesses the substantial truth of the Presidents
averment, as follows
The charge 30 frequently brought against the adyo-
Gates Of revenue reform, that they have no definite
financial system to propose. far from being defect
IL Ia truth claim 10 merit The conditions which the
fiscal system OF great nation be properly based and

people, the natural OF the country the inds-
pensable requirements for revenue and like are in
each instance peculiar and to lie learned only from

serious consequences from this betrayal Of
trust than would have come with the riot Il
has apparently evaded. Nothing is settled by
it. The Orangemen are of course made bitter
and sullenly resentfuL Their enemies are
rendered insuffersble with arrogant tri-
umph. They feel themselves masters of
the position without blow, the
very citadel of public order having been
basely given up by the City Government with
out an effort made for its defense. Nothing
is decided by this unhappy paper-so crlnglng
10 violence and 40 insolent to lawabiding clti-
gens-notbing but the fact that Tammany will
extend its broad sgis TO any criminals OF law
bra,kers who can be of service to Tammany.

A Cable dispatch says that there ia a struggle
going on in Paris to see who shall obtain
possession of the Communist prisoners who
are about TO be exiled. Various American
agents. representing localities on this
continent which are sadly in need
of population, are on hand with claims
for the unfortunate Rods. The French
Government is said to be in quandary AZ to
q choice among 40 many bidders. As Lower
California is named among the places repre-
sented, we may suppose chat the speculatng
company which seeks to colonize that barren
peninsula, disgusted in their lste failure with
New-York COlonists, are anxious 10 try what
success ia possible with people from a part of
the world more remote from their famous

There is a great deal Of silly cackliny among that
class of journals which look to THE TRIBUNE every
morning to see what they shall say the day after,
because we do not agree with Mr. Phillips in his high
estimate of Gen. Butler. and do not much value Mr.
Phiips's opinion on any practical matter Some
Southern papers, which may be presumed to be ignO-
rant enough to believe what they print speak of the
eloquent Bostonian as if he were Republican The
chief Tammany organ of this city, which knows bet
ter if it knows anything affects the some tone, and
when Mr. Phillips states that the Republican party
moribund party of spoils, it prints the dictum gee
fully and begins TO cast lots for the inheritance
Now the word of Mr. Phillips in such matter IL
worth no more than the word of any other partisan
opponent of the Republican party He was never
a Republican. He has attacked and opposed
the Republican party to the full extent o
his powers in nearly every campaign since
its formation. He was himself the candidate
of the opposition for Governor last year III Massachu
setts and ran for the purpose of defeating Gov
Claflin and giving the election to the Democrats
Our friends on the other side are too generous in
assigning him to us. and show great ingrattude in
rewarding Mr.. Phillipss service to them by giving
him name he repudiates. They well need all theiI
names and all their votes at the polls and 1t difficult
to see why they make so desperate grab at Gen
sherman. who does not belong TO them, and deny all
connection with Mr.. Phillips, who does.
New-York tribune., 1871-07-11

Paris reports say that the Legitimists, in
and out of the French Assembly, have dis
solved, and that most of the members of that
party will adhere to the Republicans. The
Legitimsts have never been very strong, and
the accessions to their number from the last
election were so ludicrously small as to excite
only derision. Chambord retired in a pet, de-
claring that be left France to remove cause
of agitation but the impression which one
gains from the election returns is that Cham
bord's chances had become so desperate that
the only possible excuse for any agitation by
his party was found in the bombastic address
which he issued on his departure.

TIE B4LLOT IN ENGLAND.

II il nearly forty years since the late George
Grote, then young Radical member of Par
lament, introduced into the House of Com
mons a motion for the adoption of the ballot
and supported it in a speech of remarkable
ability and interest For seven or eight years
as long, in fact, as Mr. Grote remained in
political life-the motion was annually re-
newed; and probably there is no better sum-
mary of the arguments for the measure, or
more vivid picture Of the tyranny OF the great
borough-owners, than Mr.. Grote embodied i'll
his series of Parliamentary addresses Re
forms move slowly in Great Britain, and 1t Is
only when the chief advocate of the ballot
has been laid in Westminster Abbey, after
devoting the period of a lifetime to other
than political labors, and winning celebrity in
a cereer entirely different from that on which
Inc first started, that the question of the ballot
becomes a great party ISSUE and promises at
last to be settled. The Ballot bill is now the
leading Ministerial measure. 1t was debated
ia the House of Commons a day or two after
Mr.. Grote's death, and supported with con-
siderable force by Mr.. Stansfeld Yet not
even the Liberal party seems heartily to favor
it; and if it pass, it will only be
ice does now and then overcome his
prejudices. The Spectator eXpresses-per-
haps with Over-subtilty of thought and
over refinement of language-the popular
distaste for this excellent reform. The evils
which secret voting is intended to correct,
says this journal no longer exist in the same
gross form as when Mr.. Grote made his earnest
plea. They are passing away, and eve are
"going apparently to adopt the remedy, If 1t is
d" to be adopted at all, forty years too late to
sacrifice the advantages of open voting when
those advantages ARE beginning to predOmi-
"nate to avail ourselves of the advantages of
secret voting when these advantages are far
less conspicuous and impressive than they
"were then" And the advantages of open
voting are supposed to be that it prevents men
from swerving from their political convictions
through personal considerations, and holds
| them accountable to the community for the
proper exercise of the suffrage
1t is true that the growth of free principles
in England has greatly reduced the influence
of landlords over their tenants, and the num-
Der of freeholders who vote at the dictation
of those upon whom they are dependent grows
less and less every year. Still, political servi-
tude Is by no means extinct nor without a secret
| ballot is there any guarantee that if it should
become extinct 1t might not be revived. 1t is
only two or three years since member of
Parliament-and Liberal at that-remarked
| TO us that he would not coerce any mans po-
litical convictions; " but of course, you know
would not have any tenant on my estate who
"voted against me-" Nobody who knows En-
glish society will need to be told that even
now there are large classes of voters--tenant
farmers, clerks. salaried employees, and others
who can neither vote conscientously nor even
abstain from voting, without the risk of seri-
/. Gus or disastrous loss. The influence OF the

The Civil Service Commission has come to
m untimely, though we hope temporary, end.
It has run against constitutional snag and
has adjourned until October, hoping that it
may meanwhile be removed. The difficulty
was pointed out in these columns some
weeks since, and is found in the ques-
tion whether the Commission can virtually
transfer the whole appointing power from the
Heads of Department to the President. The
solution of the difficulty will be left to the
President and the AttOrney-General; and, in
the mean time, the Commission awaits deyel-

Active preparations it appears are making
by German, Dutch, and Austrian capitalists,
for an intelligent examination of the line OF
the St. Gotthard Railway, This project,
which has been so tenaciOusly opposed by
France, and as firmly champiOned by Prus-
sa, is fully explained in its bearings by
our correspondent at Florence, whose letter is
published to-day. The effect which the compile
tion of this great work will have upon the in
terror commerce of Europe can be partially
estimated when the relation of the st. Gott-
