It will bo seen that the tax Is so discriminating in its application to profs-don* and business operation* a* to bo lev'ed chiefly upon profit*, noton in* cornea <>r pursuits; nnd this is the feature of the bill that commend* it most to us. In thii pespoct it Is infinitely prefcrublo to tbe bill of Mr. Kenner, reported at tbo Ih*1 session, which imposed a tax of 20 per cont upon tho whole of a man’s in- enme if it exceeded $300 per annum, and made no general discrimination between iho profits of a buxines* and tbe amount of its ineomo necessary to support the tax payor. i have heretofore had occasion to question the constitutional power of Congress to levy and collect taxes from citizen* or their property. In our opin- the constitution contemplates only a fair apportionment among fhe Slate* of their respective amounts of tax, by Con* gras* leaVing to tho several States thoir i mode# of raiding iL Hut these are idationary times, and we must con cede to the Government the exercise of whatever powers are necessary to sustain in its struggle for life or death. With such a Inx bill as Hum, and proper inducements for tho funding of Treasury note*, Congress will do much to arrest the further lbllution of the currency, and s.y restrict it (<> nn amount thut will bo manageable after tbe wgr is over. But it requires no keen power* of perception son that without a tux law yielding largo amount of revenue the evil of tho currency will soon ho so great ns to bo beyond tho roach of legislative remedy • Tho following is the report of tho pro vision# of tho Tax bill, given by tho Whig: Every profession of trade is apcoially taxed.
