DEMOCRATIC member of the House

A DEMOCRATIC member of the House
at Washington, introduced resolu.
ton that passed that body by the vote
of the Confederate element, directing
the Ways and Means Committee to
inquire into and report as to the ex-
pediency of refunding to the States
the direct war tax OH lands that was
levied in 1861. Most Of our adult
readers will recollect this tax as one
resorted to in the early days of the
war TO enable the government to get
the whercwith to prosecute the war
against traitors. II amounted in the
aggregate to about $20,OOO,OOO. About
$4,000 were collected. The great.
er part of the deficit not collected was
from the late rebel States, still there
was collected from these States abou,
100000. Iowa paid her quota in
full, being $452,OSS. Should this
scheme be adopted there will bt
drawn from the national treasury
about $l7 ,OOO, GOO, to be gathered agar
from the whole people. We are un.
able to see what reason can be giver
for this measure other than that there
being nearly 100000 of this tax vel
due from the late rebellious States il
is desirable to relieve them from it
1t is true we can easily imagine why
the Confederate Democracy of Tho
House should naturally fall into thi.
species of legislation, because they
hate anything which, in anyway had
to do with furnishing the sinews oil
war whereby they were threshed fol
their treason. 1t is quite well. how.
ever, that the people of this country
should know how these economic
patriots propose to carry on theil
economy, and for this purpose we lay
this little scheme of theirs before oul
readers.
