As a salve to the public for the
wound heinhicted in announcing that
he would proceed to buy in lot Of
unmatured bonds Secretary Gage
has gotten Congressman Payne to
declare that with the sanction of the
Secretary OF the Treasury he would
introduce a bill at the opening Of
Congress for the repeal in many in
stances and reduction in Others of
the remaining war revenue tax To the
extent OF seventy or eighty millions.
This is the movement that unbiased
and patriotic journals have main
tanned TO be the right one ever since
it became publicly known thatmoney
was piling up in the Treasury faster
than it could be gotten rid Of There
could be no possible excuse for "a re-
teutiOn OF a war tax under such con
ditions, and why Secretary Gage
should first think OF the bondholders
and not the people many will be apt

trying the people too far seems quite
evident. and TO offset it he does the

satisfy thepeople Ittakesno great IL
nancial head TO see that as soon rs the
Secretary Of the Treasury announces
that he has dead loads OF money
TO devote TO buying in certain bonds
before maturity the premium on this
class begins to rise at bound. The
buyer, to get them. must pay more
than they are actually worth; and
this is what some of the heads OF our
financial portfolio have done on more
than one occasion. Bearing a small
rate OF interest. with only few more
wears to run when they must be re-
redeemed at par, our Secretaries
have called them in and paid consid-
cradle premium upon them.
