v Aa?v7?r-Tho capture of Parie is cia
more;! for and mast b? accomplished,
sooner or Inter, to satisfy the folks at
homo, Bespootipg tho time and manner
ot ofieoting the. capture, public opinion
io Viidoly notray. Mad my counsel been
f ollo|red, Paria Wohld have been attacked
--??IwtiofirT*ilvrere your counsels over?
ruled?
v Answer-After the victorious of Wei
?enhh'rg and Wo or th emerged from the
Vosges and were marching toward Cha
Ion^ Von Moltkes decided they should
?brae up sud aid in tho annihilation of
tho army which BO hurriedly abandoned
Chalons. I favor?d a continuance of the
march on Paris, then unprepared for a
siege, and to take it, or at least out it oil
from the rest of France, which shoo ld be
' then'riv?r-r?n as quickly ns possible.
When the depot of ?Seine Et Oise wat
reached, it Was found a hard nut tc
orack. ' First wo determined upon bom
bqrdment from a secret park of artillery
at.Ville Coubloy; but now came new dis
agreements. The King, advised bj
Moltke, determined to let famine reduct
tho capital, trusting that Parisian dis
cords' would hasten capitulation.
Question-This plan was universally
supposed to be your 'own?
Answer-So far is this from truth tba
? now cease to disguise my iudignatioi
at being exoluded from tbe councils wbei
great questions are decided. Tho whol
plan is now changed, for which I am heh
responsible. I havo most ardently dc
sired and strenuously urged tho bom
bardment of Paris.
Question-But you have the satisfac
tion of having accomplished tho unities
tiou of Germany?
Answer-Ahl I attribute nothing, an
the partial failure of German unity t
the delay resulting from these opposin
schemes. Had my advice been followed
Bavaria and Wurtemburg would hav
been carried on tho wave which swop
over Germany, and tho grand soheme c
a united fartherland, and Deutohe
Kaiser would have become a reality ii
stead ot ? half-hearted confederatio
about to be born. For me, the gret
objeot of war never lay ou this side c
theBhine, but on the sido where I meat
should'exist ono great country, one grei
people and one great empire.

fison! year. The continuance of the plan
of surveying distilleries upon the basis
of tho forty-eight hoar fermenting period
for sweet mash, is recommended. There
is now nothing like systematic or orga?
nized opposition to the enforcement of I
the laws taxing spirits. Spirit metre
tests are still under consideration. The
continuation of tho present rate of tax
on spirits and the manner of collection
is recommended. A uniform tax of 16
or 32 cents per pound on grades and de?
scriptions of manufactured tobacco, is
recommended; the manufacturer to be
left free to manipulate his tobacco as he I
pleases. A special tax upon dealers who
sell raw leaf to consumers, is recommend?
ed. The number of bonded warehouses
already established greatly exceeds that
required to accommodate the export
trade. Three-fifths of tho tobacco en?
tered for export hos been withdrawn,
thus securing foar to five months' credit.
ThiB is an advantage over thoso who use
stamps. The repeal of the tax on canned
condiments and conserves, as imposed
under the clause relating to canned
meats, in sehende O, is recommended.
The quota of the Southern States for di- j

nation of Dem?crata and Li boral Repub?
licans in Mis?our?, coupled with tho foot
that nome of tho nev/iy-eleoted members
of Congress' fr?m'th?T WOBV.?'who were
elected anon the Republioan ticket, stand
confessedly upon the same .platform of
revenue reform with Democrats, appears
to bav? revived the newspaper specula?
tions of last winter in regard to the for?
mation of ft new party. That the issues
connected with the civil war, the institu?
tion of slavery, and the policy of recon?
struction are obsolete, no one will deny.
That out of future political complications
new issues will arise and eventually lead
to the formation of new partie* ie equally
plain. But what is not so clear ic, that
it is in the power of any individ?ala r>r
set of politicians to determine before?
hand what those parties sholl be, oj? what
shall be the precise lino of demarcation.
Persons who talk about tho f cadi bili ty of
organizing a new party by collecting to?
gether a number of people who have
heretofore acted and voted in opposition
to each other, but who happen to agree
upon one of the cardinal quos tiona o? the
hour, forget that tho existence of parties
is a matter of growth and development.
Parties cannot be manufactured to order
or put together by a species of political
joiners' work, by a union of materials
supposed to bo adapted to -the parp?se.
The elements mast coalesce of them?
selves. The division in public sentiment
must have actually taken piuco, and.the
masses of the people have; insensibly
ranged themselvss on one side and the
other of the dividing line, before the po?
liticians come with their committees and
caucuses and conventions to organizo
tho party that is already formed, and
provide for concert of action, among
those who are already animated by. a
common desire and a common sentiment.
The other plan is to reverse the natural
order of things. The platform should
follow, not precede, the formation of the
party.
Another objeotion to the prospectus of
tho proposed new party, if it baa been
correctly reported, is that it famishes
rather too narrow a foundation on which
to rest a permanent or powerfal political
oiganization. Tho necessity of revenue
reform, we are glad to see, is being ge?
nerally acknowledged, and the move?
ment in favor of such reform promises
to be popular, and we trust will prove
beneficial. But revenue reform, like
labor reforms, or like temperance, pro
soots but a single issue, and those who
are in perfect acoord on that one point
may differ widely upon other pointe not
less important in the politics of the
country. It does not involve any prin?
ciple or set of principles of sufficiently
general application to con sti tu to the som
of any man's political confession of faith
or rule of political oondaot; nay, wo may
go further, and say that in our judgment
revenue reform ought not to be made a
political question at all. It should never
bo suffered to become a party issue, be?
cause all parties should be in favor of it.
Like tho purity of elections, honesty in
the administration of justice, or the re?
form of the oivil sorvice departments of
the Government, it should pe the aim ?f
whatever party happens to bo in power
and bas an opportunity to apply tho
needed remedy to abuses of which no
party should be willing to assutue the
odium and responsibility. In its strict
application to the subject of the tariff,
revenue reform ought to be the fixed and
staple policy of the Government under
a'l administrations.
To confine tho expenses of the Qovern?
ment within the narrowest compass, and
to levy no more taxes than are required
to meet those expenses, is the duty of all
parties. A tariff for purposes of reve?
nue, if not essential to the existence of
the Government, will always be found in
this country the cheapest and most avail?
able means of raising the amount of rev?
enue ordinarily required. Consequently,
in the discussion of the tariff question,
the crotchets and theories of free traders
and protectionists are equally ? out of
place. But to prevent the tariff from
being perverted from its only proper and
legitimate purpose of supplying the ne?
cessary revenue for carrying on the Qo?
vernment, into an instrument in the
hands of the monopolists for the purpose
of taxing tho millions of consumers for
the benefit of a few wealthy producers,
under tho hollow pretext of protection,
that is the aim of revenue reform. . In?
stead, therefore, of seeing this made tho
nucleus of a new political organization,
we hope to see the subject kept out of
the domain of mere party politics alto?
gether. Instead of furnishing a hew
parly cry, we hope* lo ces thc canso of
revenue reform enlisting the sympathies
and receiving the support of the good
men of both parties. By being made a
party question, it will lose more support
than it will gain, and wo should be dis?
posed to distrust the sincerity of those
who would so treat it. At least we should
suspect them of thinking more of their
own interests and of tho possible capital
they may make for themselves out of a
great popular movement, than of the
success of tho cause in behalf of which
that movement has been nobly under?
taken.
