A Wealthy farmer,
suggests that the easiest way for the Government to reduce its currency to a healthy condition, and get rid of its present debt, is to tax every man in the Confederacy, whose home has not been spoiled by the Abolition raiders, one-tenth of all he has. He says if Congress can be induced to take such a step, confidence in our determination to pay will be promptly restored, the currency will become as valuable as gold, and the nine-tenths left to each men will be worth in twelve months ten times as much as all he possessed before the tax was laid. His tax alone would be over fifty thousand dollars.
