THE NEW TAXES.

The new tax law will go into effect within
few days having been signed by the President.
For the first time in thlrty-three years the reve-
nue. derived from National taxation will be ma
terially increased for the purpose OF meeting
the expenses of war; but this time not OF war
between the Nation and fraction OF us peo-
pie The contest being one heartily sustained
by the convictions Of the people As whole. and
even by the intelligent opinion of other nations,
there can be no such spirit OF hostility toward
the taxation necessary for Its prosecution as
was shown In other times. Moreover, the addl-
tional taxes levied are almost wholly internal,
and none of them protective In character, so
that the partisan antagonism between support
ers and opponents of the protective system Is
not aroused There probably will not be- as
there was when tire tariff was changed In 1880
or 1897, a large body Of citizens bent upon mag
nifying to the utmost the burdens and disad-
vantages resulting from the new measure, nor
will the least patriotic Of sensational Journals
find It to their account to Ill pages under flaming
headlines with details Of the oppressive taxes
imposed on this or that interest, In order to
excite popular hostility to the Government 1t
is q war in which popular feeling is so far en-
listed that a campaign Of that nature against
the Government would hardly promise any sats
factory return
Under such circumstances the new taxes Will
be less criticised and less impatiently regarded
BY the people than were others which have been
levied for many years. 1t ought to be so, for
the war itself had Its origin In distinct popu-
lar demand, which Congress did but express
and II Is not the Characteristic Of Americans TO
demand a result and then to grumble because Of
it's necessary cost. Considering also that the
measure framed, whatever its faults may be,
WIS the best It was found possible TO pass in
a Congress for which the people themselves are
directly responsible either by their votes In dis
tricts or by their election Of State Legislatures,
it is to be expected that the people will accept
tho measure as indispensable to the prosecution
of the war; but VIII watch It's results with
determination to hold those members of Con-
gress responsible whose action has made un-
wise provisions unavoidable. 1t Is an educat-
ing process, this In the best sense, and 1t may
be hoped that the people VIII gain from 1t
broader and better idea Of the principles which
should govern the framing Of tax laws
The taxes from which most Of the additional
revenue will be raised are such as can burden
the productive Industries Of the country lit
tie and viii fall almost wholly upon those
who choose to pay for the qualification Of their
desire for luxuries or comforts, or upon occupa
tons which are comparatively well able TO bear

SALVAGE on Ia hPAGNE.

London. June l4.--The owners OF tho British
steamer Roman. which. on February 81 last. towed
the disabled steamer la Champagne into Halifax,
have received an award OF fiScD salvage.
The steamer La Champagne sailed from Havro on
February IL for New-York. All went well until the
17th the steamer making fast time against the head
seas. when suddenly at about o'clock In the after
noon, a tremendous crashing sound In the engine
room heard. In an instant panic seized the
passengers. and great excitement regned In the sa-
looms and the Storage. The captain. however soon
Gained the passengers. and II was discovered that
tho tailshaft had broken. The captain announced
that tho damage could be repaired. and that the
steamer would proceed at l o'clock the next day.

increased In fury. and at about o'clock on the
morning OF the 18th the anchor chain parted. and
the steamer drifted southwark The situation was
