It did not always end lu looks, either, forbitter.bitiug words were often hurled at him. To remedy these little (drawbacks Brlgham had a passage-way' built from behind his room and offices to Emetine's room, through which he 'passed In peace to the light or her presence.

In 1861, Congress passed law levying a ra of twenty millions of dollar, at-portioned to the different States and Territories, according to population, to defray the expenses of the government la carrying or the war1 against? the re--' bellion.

The Northern States paid this tax, and were allowed, a rectJonjorVa- small per centum for so doing, In ao-oordanoe with an-atnendineDA to-the original' hxw. The 8tates, hoWteW, -were in imurjeetlon, arid additional legislation was found hecesftaiy to provide for the collection of the tax In that section. In June, 1802, therefore, Congress provided a method of colleo- tion in the Southern States, under the direction of the President and Secretary of the and to be enforced as fast as military protection could be given to the officers directly, charged with the duties of assessment and collection The gist of the method was a charging of the tax against certain lands In the rebel States, and a levying upon said lands for payment thereof. In this way about half of the tax apportioned to the eleven un reconstructed State was llectodaruJ the remainder Is yet uncollected In prosecuting collections (Upder the method referred to, It became necessary to sell a large portion of the lands for non-payment of. the Accordingly the United States became the' purchaser of large amounts in some of the States, and much of the same never having been redeemed, the ti thereto have become absolutely vented in the general government.

The President's plan for the resumption of specie payments, as set forth In his message, Is that the government shall, on a certain day, commence redeeming its greenbacks In gold at tbelr then market price, and Jnoreaaethls price from time to time at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum until it reaches par. Such scheme, If successful, commencing with gold at 125, would bring gold and grt-eny backs to the same value in about four years. The plan, however, would not succeed. It is impracticable. (' It Is based upon the asaumptlon that the Treasury can per manently control the price of gold.

If this were troe, the problem of resump tion could easily be solved. The government, being master of the could resume whenever, it It would but have to issue Its flat declaring a paper dollar to be as good as a gold dollar, and the thing would, fee But the assumption is erroneous. The price of gold can no more be regulated by legislation than can the price of cern or The gorfefn ment has been selling gold for the last four years without effecting any permanent reduction, by that i means) and all that now keeps the price below about 130 to 135 Is the check to the exportation of it, oeoudoaed By sur large! iBorsasi if i other exports, aud by our Improved general credit as a nation.
