It may havo been noticed that the various schomes of the new party (including the ab- sorption by Government of all railronds, tel- egraphs, ete., to which wo refer elsewhere) will add n few haondred millions to tho Gov- ernment expenses every year, This incronse, as well as tha present expenses, the new party proposes to arsess mainly on tho farm- era of tho country by abolishing oll tariff and internal rovonue taxes and substituting direct taxation, Direct taxation is limited to tho income tax nnd tnx on real estate, The latter must be apportioned, under the Con- stitution, according to population and ropre- soutation. If $80,000,000 or 3100,000,000 n year woro raised by taxing incomes (which would be s difilenlt. matter), then, according to the present exponses, every Congressional District would have to contribute about hatf a million a year in real-estate taxes; but, ndding the increased expenses proposed by the new party, at least 21,000,000 a year wonld be lovied upon tha farms and town lots of every Congressional District. Ohio would pny 20,000,000 a year, Tlinois $19,000,000 a yenr, aud 50 on, Wo appre- hond that the farmers may object to thin new system, and it is just possible that property-owners in towns and cilles may protest ngainst the practical confiscation of thoir land. Jv Itis apparent that all this is rank Com- tmunism. At the same time, wo do not ab- ject to ita concentration in a single now par- ty. So long as the Communists are divided up between the two grent parties, the demn- gogues of both make more concessions to them than they ought to have. If both par- ties can bo rid of them, thero will no longer he tho temptation to pander to them, and the Communists will Lave an opportunity to tucerlain just what their strength is, A pew party is the best disposition that can be mado of all the impracticable, visionnry, and de- strnetive political schemes, It will act asin nafety-valvo, and freo tho two groat national parties from distraction and annoyances ; and thoy will no louger be forced into falso positions by.tho ‘ balanco-of-power” ma- chinations of fantastic faction There ts no objection on the part of Tim | ‘dollar of the fathers” is sixty-one years older Trinuns to W.

RESUMPTION AND THE REISSUE OF GREENBACKS, At last evon the advocates of uncondition- entuuption in 1479 with an exclasive cur- rency of gold coin begin to falter, and to seo the daugers of the policy upon which they have insisted, We havo pointed out that resumption, as proposed, will cause the banks to withdraw their circulation, in large: part at loast, before January, 1870, and that the commencement of redemption of greenbacks on that day aud their retirement will leave the country iu a short timo without any cure rency save such gold coin (silver being de- monetized) as imay then bo in the country, The New York Hudletin, the chief financial paper of that city, hus discovered the force of theso facts, and secks to escape them by denying that the greenbacks will be retired after resumption. It says: Notwithstanding the misconceptions and un- founded slarmy of Tux Cuticaco Triseuxe, the point it bas raised merits attentlon. The discus. sion of the question started by Tus Tuiwuns roy lead mavy to doubt whethor the reisaue of grcen- backs redcemed after resumption can be safely de- pended upon; and adoubs upon sucha vital polot can only produce prejudice against the Resumption act and strengthen the demand for Ste repeal. Moreover, If Mr. Sucumax, or any other equally violent contractionist, should bappen to be Sec- retary of the Treavury ot the thne of resump- tion, we aro uxposcd to the danger of the vaguoly- worded act belny courtrucd us against the relssuc ofthe notes; which would bu oo unmitigated dis aster, ‘The fact remajus, however, that it is im- possible for the Government, or any Gov- ernment, to kcep iu circulation any consid. erable amount of notes which are redecma- ble in coin on demand.
