The. 1 plan resemble* in ite aaoal important feature ' the *jr*t*ni recommended by the Book Con- I rcntlen : that is, a lean to the Government ' ef a thonaaod million* or dollar* ; followed by a tax, to be paid in coin, or with the interest (coupons) arising from this loan. Tit* plan proposed by Mr. Memmingcr, | if put int* operation, will corlainly hare | the ds*lrod offset, ao fur a* it contemplates 1 relieving the country of the great redun- i aiicjr or circulation and conm-qutnt l>igh ? pricea of neeeaseriee ; for it provide* far. i the taking op of the present circulating ? Medina! in very abort lime; and whatever | portion nay not be take* op, or funded, ie ' rendered uaelea* as a circulating medium. ? Bat there may be some question whether t the people can eland the bea*y drain which 1 tbia combined loan and tax will Uupoae apon tiro in. The tax ie Ave per cent on all properly and credit#; one half U> be paid ie | eoib or in the eenpoae of the bonds ieaaed fbr the loan, and the ether half in Treasure notea, of the new iuuf, contemplated la the 7th eeetiea of the nehemo. A man who is estimated to be werth #10,000 will pay e tax of #600; $330 In coin or eoapene.? ! And to provide himself with Iki coupons ' with wl.ish to pay f ?50, of his lax. hs ' lust land to ths Govcrnmsnt a lit lis up wards of $4000?about fiva twelfths of hia 1 whole estate. Comparatively lew will be abla to do ibis witnout selling property ; sod will property be worth aa much, by ' one half, after the passage of this law as it is now I We think not. If tha tax payar fails to ' provide himself with coupons by investing in the six par vest bonds, he most than ron the ehaneea of being able to boy the coupons in the market; or he may pay stl of hia tax to the sew currency, with 26 per cent added. The new ieane, it ie pre eumed, will be nearly equivalent to coin. Obviously it jvitl require an enormous effort on ths part of ths tax payers to comply with the details of this scheme; but had we not bolter bear them thao to do- . elino litem !
