At torneye ami otbors deairleir any numt rr m these blanks, will please soml in tholr onlnra at o»oe. ^ r*t»»*ni»hment of the Pnhllr n<<t>t. The Journal has had two fuccesslvo arliclts upon the public d^>t question, and both give evidence that Us sympathies arc with the bond aristocracy, or with capital and against labor. It opposes the only feasible method of extinguishing tho public debt In a few year-', and favors a policy which will mortgage the labor of the country, for a century to come, to pay the Interest in gold upon our enormous public indebtedness, contracted at a period < i currency Inllatlon, without diminishing tin principal, The Hepnbltoan organ has not even the fairness to state the proposttl.ui to pay otV the Interest paying bonds with greenbacks, or legal tender currency. It thus makes the Issue: “ To compel public creditors to surrender their claims against the Government for onelifth, one-hall, or three-fourths of the amount for which tho nation ha# pledged its faith. Is repudiation, differing only in degree front that practiced by Mississippi years sgo. That is lust what Is intended by the men who arc urging tho Issue of a Hood of treasury notes, without any mean# tor thetr redemption, or anv intention that they shall cv.tr be redeemed.’'’ That Is not the proposition. In IWh tho revenues of the Government amounted to about $r>Sl>,000,000. In 1X00 the cost of maintaining tho government was about $77,000, Allow double that amount for governmental expenditure# In tho future and continue tho revenues of the governmont about tho samo as they were last year, there would then remain over four hundred millions of dollars as a sinkfun.! to ho annually applied to tho redemption of the public debt. The Journal says it ts the proposttton "to compel public creditors to surrender their claims against tho government, for one-tilth, one-hslf or three-fourths of tho amount for which the nation has pledged Its faith." One-fifth, one-half or throe fourth# of their face is all that the nation received for tho pledge of if# faith, but tho Journal Insist* that the full amount must be paid In goiu *r ciso it will amount to repudiation. England, at one time, reduced the rate of Interest on her public debt ono half, which was equal to tho repudiation of ono half of h^r Indebtedness, but the Journal ha# nothing to s ay about tho violation of tho pllghlod faith of that Government, or that her failure to pay was In part equivalent to repudiation. Neither did this repiidlatlnn on Iho part of that Government destroy liereredit or ren ler her unable to borrow money for her necessities. It Is not tho Intention. ns the .1 mrnal represents, to pay the intore.*! paying bonds by a Ihod of treasury notes, without any means for their redemption. Wo have shown that tho revenues of tho Government, If maintained at thoir present standard, would be ample to redeem tho treasury notes given for tho bonds In about seven years. The object of tho conversion of the bonds Into greenbacks is to stop Interest, which Is devouring tho substance of the people. Hut the Journal Insist# that the debts duo to tho people, contracted In gold, shall bo discharged with greenbacks, while the Government debt due tho bondholders, which was contracted in legal tenders, shall be paid only In gold. Is It just that thore shall be ono currency for tho people and another for tho bondholder? Let us look at tho financial condition of tho Government. According to the last statement, the public debt of tho I nlted States, in r mnd numbers, Is aTjout as fellows: That bearing Interest In gold coin Is about ono thousand six hundred and soventy-nlno millions: that bearing interest In currency Is five hundred and seventy-live millions, and that bearing nn Interest Is five hundred and thirty-three million*. Tho scheme ol tho bondholders is to convert the bond* bearing interest in currency and tho indebtedness which i* bearing no Interest, about eleven hundred millions in all, Into bonds bo.arlnglnterost in gold coin. Phis conversion would reduce the paper currency pf the country to about three hundred millions of dollar*, and on that basis it is proposed to pay about one hundred and sixty-eight millions of dollars annually gold interest, besides the ordinary expense* of tho Government. The effect of such a policy can bo readily appreciated. The value of bonds would bo virtually doubled, for a dollar in gold would, under such circumstances. buy at least twice as milch ns the present currency will now, and the ability of the people to pay would bo diminished In the same proportion. 'I'nis i* tho condition of affairs which the bond lies, represented by the radleil press of tho country, llko tho Journal, propose to fasten upon tho people. Could the people pay tho present r.Uo of taxation upon a gold basis, without great inconvenience? Would not such a policy bring ruin upon the country? Tho bondholders would bo, Indeed, a privileged aristocracy, holding about one-fourth of the wealth of the country, and exempt from taxation. The Journal Is fearful that nn l#*ue of some two thousand millions of trearury note# would make them worthless, In IWd and iwi, there was about ono thousand millions of dollars of that currency in circulation, and not a dollar of it In cloven States of the Union. Is it probable, tinder the changed elrctimstances of the country, when vast sums are needed for necessary public Improvements, and to carry on tho Increased and Increasing business, that two thousand millions of greenbacks would be any more worthless or less valuable than one thousand millions was three and four years ngo? Tho Increased volume of currency would give the people the means to pay the present rate of taxation, and In two or throe years tho treasury notes would l»e so nb#orl>ed In the pey men t of pit bile revenues and In Investments In public improvements, and otherwise, that all tears about thcir.worthlcssness would be re-

moved.

Hut what will be the resultof following the Journal’s plan of maintaining the public faith ? We shall have our twcnty-eight hundred millions of public debt, tearing Interest In gold coin, and every sixteen years wo shall pay the amount of the indebtedness In Interest, without diminishing tho principal a dollar. The payment of the Interest bearing bonds with greenbacks, as we have shown, will extinguish the public debt in about seven years, while accord Ing to the Journal’s plan tbs Industry of tho ffouutry will be mortgaged for at least msny generations to pay annually the Interest alone, without diminishing the indebtedness. It requires no financial ability to comprehend the different plans. Tho one, to use a homely phrase, wipe# out tho debt in a few years, while the other operates as a perpetual Hen npon the working men, the labor, the productive Interest of the country.

It should also bo borne in mind that the taxes or duties on many of the articles Included i-i both lists wore very Inadequately collected. of those on whisky, for Instance, It is estimated by the Commissioner that at Icaft five gallons out of every eight escaped taxation, and It is well known that this Is a very moderate estimate of tho Illicit distillation. Similar short comings exist in tho taxes or duties paid on cigars, tobacco, silk, and many other articles Included la these tables. The choice of honest and efficient officers to collect these imposts would doubtless lead to a large Increase in them. Bo, also, would ether changes, such as from time to tlr» we hove mentioned. If to the revenues of 1800 on the articles and interests enumerated In (be preceding tables, wo add a moderate estimate of tbe Increased revenues that would arise from * tolerably efficient colleetion of the taxes already Imposed by law, and allow for such an increase of business and wealth as we may reasonably expect from all tho experience of the past, weesn sco plainly on what basis a public measure almost unparalleled by financial utility might t»o framed. By relieving the public Irom taxation on the sixteen thousand articles now taxed, and confining taxation to the eighteen classes or articles named in the foregoing tables, a powerful and legitimate stimulus would be given to the productive energies of the nation, and tho consumption or profits of tho few articles or interests that remain taxed would be Increased to an extent yet unequalled elsewhere. Undoubtedly such a desirable consummation would cut off the profits of many who now fatten on the spoliation of their country; tut nothing can bo plainer than its utility to the public. The Nnuonal l-abor Congress on Tnvntion nnd Nntlonnl Banking* A convention of laboring men, representing tbe working men’s association In many State# of tho Union, assembled In Chicago last week, tbe object of which was to advance the Interest* of that class In the community generally. Tho congress, as tbe gathering was called, passed a series of resolutions, Intended as a platform of principles and to give expression to the view* It entertained upon questions of public policy which would affect materially the Interests of laboring men, Tbe resolutions refer to two subjects that are occupying tho attention of tbe public mind, and upon which the convention arrived at sensible and just conclusions. The Chicago Times, in noticing the principles which tbe convention asserted upon these questions, ami tbs propsr method of applying them in practice, thus refers to them: One of these Is In the assumption that the exemption of national bonds from taxation Is “an unnecessary burden Impos^d on labor for tbe benefit of cspital.” It would be nearer tbe truth to say that tbe exemption of this species of property from taxation Is an unnecessary and unrighteous dir* crimination In favor of a kind of properly which Is held mainly by men ol wealth, while tho property of men who are not wealthy must pay higher taxes In proportion, in order to make up to the public revenues tbe deficit caused by that exemption, Tbe statement of tho committee amounts, substantially, to tbe same thing. For, if tbe government bonds were not exempt from taxation, tbe amount of taxes yielded by this species of property in the hands of "capitalists" would reduce the taxes on other property, Including the homestead and personal property of tho working

man.

The report also alms at something practical in declaring that tho so-called national banking system, inaugurated by tho now dominant political party, Is a "monetary monopoly that U subversive of tho principles of equity nnd justice on which our Democratic Republican Institutions are founded." Tbe national banking law, like the law exempting Government bonds from taxation, is a statute tbe effect and apparent design of which are to put more money in tbe pockets of men who have got more, by squeezing It from the pockets of men who have got less, ft is to ensble a fmall number of men to realize not only the profits of tbe banking business, but a high rate of Is* terest besides on tho amount of their capital Invested in that business. The people must pay the interest on their debt. The bonds representing that debt, and which coneUtate the bavls of the national banks, are upward of $300,000,000. Tbe interest on this amountover $30*00*00—goes to swell the profits of the banker, realized in the way of Interest on bis own pictured promises to pay. Thus the national banking law Is a system Which Bakes the people pay double Internet to the banker on tbetr own debt, besides exempting that debt from taxation In the hands of tbe hanker. To say that It Is the most Iniquitous and extortionate financial scheme ever devised by greedy moflcy-slfark#, Is not to exceed tbe

truth.

Tho remedy which the workingmen’s Congress suggests Is a feasible and proper one. It is to do away with tbe national banking system, and substitute Government "greenbao he” for tbe “sblnplnster" Issues of those miscalled "national’’ institutions. Every correct principte of nation*! economy, and every oenetdi raiton of popular right, dictate that it should be done.

Replying to tbe Lender'» comments on this action the Commercial says: "General Grant wae assigned to th© wsr office by what he regarded as the lawful command of his commander In chief, end can no more’go out’ on bis own motion than a colonel can go out of the position assigned him. Or does the Trader think the general of tbe army ought to set an example of ilagrant Ineubordimrtlon?"

The great political questions which ore to be discussed rad decided during the coming year possess a general rad absorbing interest.

The Proprietors ol the Hxbald intend that it .ball not only fully discuss the general issues before the country, bnt also those connected with State policy. There can be no more powerful agency in mointainiug Constitutional Liberty than a pass PRESS, and it shall be the leading objector the Hxhjlld to advocate the equal rights and sovereignty of the States, In all powers not delegated to the Federal Government and the personal liberty of the citizen. The Herald will appose all usurpations of powers, whether in the National or State Governments, rad insist upon the subordination of the military to the civil rule, tt will advocate the restoration policy of Pnsxonr Johnsox. the immediate admission of the Baprerentetives of the Southern States in Congress, and a recognition of all the people of the States lately in rebellion, who hare returned to their allegiance a* citizens, with the full rights and privileges of citizenship, in order to restore th* pacification of the country rad its former prosperity.
