THE INCOME TAX. No maaiiestation of the power and endurance of the American people, displayed in tbe strag- | gleto maiptain our national existence, more surprised themselves and astonisbed Europe than the alacrity and cheerfulness with which the loys} masses contributed their means to sustain their armies in the field. Having been edocated in the political faith that a fall trea- eury Snd standing armies were the greatest | evils which could threaten the country, the taxes levied were merely sufficient to pay the current expenses of tbe Government, which | ‘were so reduced for fear of the cry of extray- agance being raised, that economy verged on meanness; yet when the note of danger was sounded all such scrapulous notions were for- gotten, and the people not only demanded of their representatives such legislation as would Faise the revenue necessary to save the Union: but nodiy contribut-d thousands upon thous. ands of dollars to the cause Of humanity, in addition to the self-imposed burdens which they bore without complaint. Such a spectacle of self-sacrificing patriotiem has <¢idom been witnessed. Now, bowever, when the public enemy has been subdued, when peace bs retarned, and prosperity been restored, famt mutterings ef discontent are heard, and @¢very parucalar class and interest wishes © be exempt from taxation, while willing the others shouid help pay the national debt. Tat the sonthe: ple sbovld unwillingly 4d in paying for the stick with which their owm heads were Droken is perfectly naturs!,and was to be ex- pected. Bot strict justice demands that they eball bear at least their full hare of the burden they have impo.ed upon he people of the ‘whole country by the folland rashpess of their imsane attempt to destry the Union. We speak not of southern sorehs, howe ver, but of northern grumblers. Stnge as it is, the complaints at the Nerth do >t come from the great middie class—the ™m of moderate means—but from tich capitals. One of these writes toa Boston paper Ofte ineqg aality or the income tax, and.qants it uslized—now ? Why, by putting the same ¢ on smaliin- comes as on large ones.
