" 'The Democratic wingof the * Industrials " boavo abaudoned their own and adopted the Democratic ticket. Tho consideration given by the lutter was to kick off their Scandina. vian candidate, Oror Retoner, and substitate "Tou Kavasacon, tho Irish * Industrial,” for Clerk of the Probate Court. For the sake of this one person for o little office, the ¢ In. dustrial * party bave discarded all of their pwn homineos and adopted the entire Demo- eratic ticket, including **Boss " Lien, Iave they not paid too dear for their whistle ? —————— Senator Ortven P, Mourox s dylng. The Yenrt which, when his frome was strong and Ys country waa wenk, beat so patriotically snd o vigorously against all-pervading trea- sou, now flutters liko An exhausted bird within the greody grasp of death, Without 1 possibility of nutrition, tho foeble fountain s lifo is now pulsing 140 times cvery min- 1te, aud the phyxiciun at 11 o'clock last ovou- g hiad 110 hope that Le could survive tha pusdnge of twentydour hourw, The poor wife, strainod to thw vory verge of dementin by three months of Witer suspense, has been forced to ndmit the tnovitable, and has broken fown under its heavy and immediate pros- mce. So far as the wisdom of men learned in the world’s cxperienco of medicino and disease onn forojudge, the next issua of the morniug journals tbroughout the laud will bear the mournful news of Senator Monrox's dissolution, and rocomnt tho splondid sery- lces which will cunoble his mewmory, Bome surprise was occasioned by the sud. den change in Bpeaker RaxpaLr's Commit. leo programmo, whoroby Arexanpes I, Sterness was dropped and CraszsoN Yot. rex, of New York, placed at the Lead of the Pucifio Railroad Committee, It is now ovi. iont that there was st no time any expocts. lion on tho part of Ranvary that Porres, w antisubsidy man, orat least represeut. ing n coustituency opposed to the Texas Pucific scheme, would servo as Chairman of shat Committee. His sppointmont and resige aution look very liku a piece of claptrap for iheatrical effect, PorTs resigns bocause be » essucinted with Toar Bcorr in various wilway enterprises, and lenco to servo n the Cowmmitteo would be indelicate, Of soursy Hawparn knew all this when he 3zed up tho Cowmittes by putting as second Yunocsnostos, of Texas, until recently .a paid uttoruey of the ‘Foxas Pacific, and who 20w becomes Chairman of the Committeo by ihe resiguation of Porrza. It moy bo relied #pon that tho alleged scruples of the latter il not trouble FurockyorToN, and that tho Comunittee as finally constituted, and doubt- w38 as intended from the fint, will be entire- by to the liking of the subkidy-grabbers, Now that the preliminarylpalaveris oves with, dusiness will begin. T — The sutuinn weather has not, as has often been predicted, anterfered to any great ex. nt with operations in Bulgeria and Asia Minor. At least the prevailing dawpnces does not appear to have affected the ardor of the Russian oficers and men, as is shown 9y their recont pumerous successes, Do ‘achmenty of invadesd aro on the move in all Qircctions, Even in #ho Dobrudscha, where the ontside world has been led to bolieve the ronds nt this senson are Lottomlegs and the flelds transformed into inland lakes, the army under Gen, ZiMMerMaN, which remaived in. activo during a largo portion of the summer, is moving npon Silistria, and will, in connac- tion with the batterios planted on the islands in the Dannbe, underiake the reduction of that place. Al along the line, from Plevna to the Baikans, hordes of Russian troops are appearing unheralded and gob- bling up outlying Tarkish detnchments, Even south of the Balkans, the Russians, whoso occupation at SBhipka for the present atleast apponrs to bo gone, are surprising the inhabitants of scattered villages, and making things lively genernlly. In Asia Minor, Knrs, which in the summer months was barely threatened before the invading force was defented and seattered by the Turkish armies, is now closely invested, with pros- pect of an carly surrender. Thus the pre- dictions of correspondents, who have had nothing to offer the public but prophecy, have been completely roversed, and the Turks aro Jargely the losers thereby. In a spirit of gonerosity and fairness which has rarely been exercised herctofors by the Democrats of the Ionse in denling with the army ond navy, the Navy Commit- tee yosterday voted unanimously to report recommending the passage of the approprin- tlons nsked for Ly Secretary Tmosrsox to mnke up the deflclencies ahd pormit tho payment of the officers and railors who have been kept ‘waiting for soveral months, 'The Committes justly concludes that the unpaid men of the navy are not respousiblo and should not be made to suffer for the mys- terions shortago in Ronrsox's cash whereby no funds wero left for their pay, but the Chairmai, Mr. WrLuts, of New York, has no intention of giving up the search for the why nud the whorefore of Ropeson's deficit. An invostigation of this subject s to bo sot on fopt at onee, Lut in tho menntime the Jjolly tars will enjoy the unaccustomed luxury of plenty of money and their pay in full, This accomplished, nobody cares how sharp. 1y the Democrats got after Ronzsox. ‘The Houso yesterday had n tussle with the currency question, and something closely spproximating n test voto was taken, Tho re- sutnptionists brought on the izsue by superior parliamentary tactics in taking advantago of a blunder by Gen. Ewmvo, who, aa Chair- mau of the Commnittes on Banking and Cur- rency, had chargo of a bill for the repeal of tho dato of the Resumption det. The vote on the motion to table the motion to recon- nider wns in some degreo n tost vote, s, if the motion had carried, the bill would Liavo been taken from Ewrxo's control and compelled to tako its turn with unprivileged mensures. Tho vote against tabling was 138; on the other side, 1I6,—a smaller prepondorance than lad Dbeen confidently counted wupon by the friends of roponl. Votlng with the rosutnptionist minority were 05 Republicaus and 21 Democrats; whilo the repeal party was made up of 31 Republicans and 107 Democrats, As tho mattor now stands, the Vill is in the hands of tho Ohairmnn of the Committee, and can beealled up and dobated or put upon its passage at his plensure. Not- withstanding tho claim of the resnmption. ists that the winning side in yesterday's con. test contains severnl members who voted as thoy did {n order to keep the bill in shape to be debatoed herenfter, aud who will oventually vote against ils pnssage, it is very evident that the repealists of various shades of opine fon are largely in the majority, and that they will carry the dny when tho fiual voto is taken, THE ENOLISH MISSION, 3 There is n disposition on the part of the Tmplacables at Washington, whilo sdmitting the cminont fituoss of Mr., Wersn for the position of Mivistor to England, to stigma. tize the appointinont a8 a breach of promise with the Pennsylvanin delegation. A dis patch to ono paper says: **‘I'he members from that State all say that they hiave no objaction whatever to Br, Wersn, and regard Lis appointment a8 au honor to their Btale; Lut that does not provent a violation of faith by tho President and Mr, Evants in refusing to appoint 8mioN Caxenon.” The declara. tion sufliciontly illuatrates tho persistent and waliclous notives with which these malcon- tent upoils-seckers pursuo the President and seck to embarrass him,? ‘Thore is notbing in the nction of the Presidont that is notsincere and straightforward, aud for the Lest inter- csté of the country, from tho very outset. The Presldout was anxious (o compliment the grent and powerful Stato of Tonnsylva- nin by giving the mission to England to some oue of {ts citizons. Ifefoundthe Republican party in that State split into two factions,— the Uauenox faction on the one hand, strong through its control of patronnge, and the Iazruaxer faction on the other, mado up of young ien, and ropresenting - better and higher political elomonts than characterized the wachine politicians of the Caxenon class, Mo found a bitter feud existing be- tween them, and' that he could not select fromn the ono williout giving serious offenso to tho other and plunging the whole party iuto confusion, It was at this stage that Secretary Evanre substantially indicnted to the Penusylvauia dolegation that if it could hurmonize its viows sulliclently to agreo upon o man satisfactory to both factions, he would bo appointed. . "This {s the plaiu interpreta. tion of Becrotary Evarita' declaration, Now, thero is a well-defined rulo In morals, lald down by Parey aud every other moral phi- losopher of noto, that a man's words aro to Le construed by what you know Lo meant, and that it is not moral or honest to put a false construction upon them by guibbleor techinicality ; aud yet thislsexactly what these Implacables havo doue, Tunnoedintely upon this declaration, nud with a full. knowl. edge of tho fmport of Becretary Evanza' words, Don Casruo, the leader of ona fac- tion, summoned the Penusylvania delogation composed of men of both factions to Lis house, and, by the predsurcof bospitality, the appllcation of the majority rule, and the threatened witbdrawal of patronage, sprung the nowe of Sivon CaxruoN upon the deles gation as tho cholco of Pennsylvania for the wmizsion to England, It was a dishonest, un. der-hauded plot, both in its inception and its purposes. 'The OamenoN mewbers of the dologation knew thal the Fresident had no intention of eppoiuting Smuox JaxenoN so long as thero was any ono elss in the State competent to fill the position, and they tooka techuical advantage of Secretary Evante' declarution, construing it to mean what it did not, to embarrass the President and to exasperato the HanTeANrT wing of tho parly, I'be Prosident did what ony sincere aud sogacious man would have done under the circumstances, }le knew that ko could uot seloct 8 HantRaxrT man without Do Cam- xuoN's looking upon it a4 a personal insult, Ho could not select 8 Oarenon man without offending the Hantiaxyr fuction. Ho kuew still further that he could not aclect tho an- cient Caxrrox withont offending the whole country, Ifa therefore looked about him and solected a gentleman who was not promi. nently identified with politics, and was en- tircly unobjectionable to both delegationn, His search was not as difficalt as it might at first seem. e found a gentleman agninat whom neither faction can offor A word of* complaint, or show any valid objection why he should not go to England. Hais a man of irreproachablo purity of character, both in privale and publie life. Although for years an enrnest Repnblican, he has never been an offfce-sccker, and hes mover been idoutified wilh machine politics, He hns Leéen a successful merchant, lina amassed great wealth, nud has found time to enrich himself with the still more desirable weaith of information and of cuolture. Ila has always been . regarded nand held up in Pennsyivania as a model citizen, and will represent tho country at the Court of St. James with becoming digoity as o gentlemad and with succers as adiploniatie agent. Inall thesa procaedings the Presi- dent lias ncted for the highest and best in- terests of the Republican party, as well as for tho welfaro of the wholo conntry, Tho wrath of the Implacables does not grow ot of any violation of promise by the Preai. dent, for ho had mnde nona. They nro dis- gruntled because, in his honest, manly fashion, ho has set his foot down upon a miserblo trick and squolched it, s a— i o TO THE GREENBACKERS. Thero is just one issuo in the present local campaign, viz.: The reform of the County Government and the rescuo of its adminis- tration from the bands of a corrupt Ring and from its extravagant and nnserupulous ngents. It is beyond all reasonnble doubt that the election will be carried either Ly the Republican Reform ticket or Lizs's Demo- cratic ticket. Yet, in spite of this obvious condition of things, thora are-no less than five tickots in the fleld,—the two principals, two factions of the Workingmen, and, fiunlly, the Groenbrckers, These sido movements Liavo no earthly hope of success, and bave been organized with the purpose of confusing tho issue and jeopardizing the cnuse of reform, The various branches of the Workingmon's movemeunts Lnve swal- lowed the Lrzn-Lxxon ticket in part or ns a whole, nud are run in tho interest of tho gong, The action of the Greenbackers in vominating Dave Haaptoxp looks very much as though the purposo is to wuse the Greonback influcnco in tho county to assist in the election of Lyyou and the remainder of Lizn's ticket. Ilantoxp fs and always biag boen a Republican. Iio was o candidato for the nomination for County Treasurer befora the Republican Convention, and beeauso ho failed to get it he is a sore- hend, and secks to defeat Mr., McCrea, who ia the regular nomince, Iawsonp will not roceive n singlo Democratic vote, so that all Republicans who vote for him bocanse ho is nowinally the Greonback candidate might as well vote at once for Lyncit; in fact, that is what they will bo doing, ‘though in o covert and sneaking way. No right-minded nnd intelligent citizen of Cook County who has a sympatby wilh the Greeuback movement will allow this sympathy to be abused and himself betrayed by this sham. There is no opportunity in the presont eloction to cxpress sn opinion for or oagainst tho Greonback move- ment, That is a national offair, and . cun only bo influenced by national and Con. gressional votes. In tho election next fall tho Greenbackers will have the right to run inde- pendent candidates for Qongross if their views find no represoutation among the regular party candidntes, Thoir principles will thon furnish an excuse for going outside the Re. publican aud Demoeratio parties, and they oy draw from both sides. DBut it will only do the Groenbeck movement an injury to poll a few handred votes in this local cloc- tion, which will bo taken exclusively from the Ropublican candidates and for tho bene- fit of Lien's gang of tax-oaters. If tho Greenback movement bo prostituted to help Haxyonp work out a personal spite, and to assist in the continunnee of misrulo, oxtravas gance, and friuds in tho County Govern. ment, it will bo subjected to suspicion in the future as a mere blackmailing agonoy, rendy to cast its influence wherever it finds tho groatest corrupt inducement, The number of citizons in Cook County who are in favor of greonback inflation is probably considerable, but every oneof thoso citizens s interested, to n gronter or less ex- tent, in having the nairs of Cook County administered honestly and econonmucally, It ia estimntod that half a million dollars annn- ally can bo saved to the county by reforming the Board of Comnissioners, by displacing Lx:o, tho Connty Clerk, and by electing a Qo inty Treasurer who shall make tho same stubborn resistance to the misappropriation of county funds that Mr, Huck hLas niade, ‘I'here is not n man of greenback sympathivs in Cook County, whether & property-owner, in business, or a laborer, who is mnot opprossed by this oxtra burden of Lalf a million dollars a year, thus squandered in tho mismanagement of county affairs and the plundering of the County Troasury, Theru is not onu of them who s not under a moral obligation to vote ngainat this system of plunder, Thero is not one whose private interest does not suggest an active opposi- tion to Lien's gong, Yet tho soparate ap- pearance of a Groonback ticket, with Dave Haaatonn ot tho hoad of it, is nothing moro uor loss than au auxiliary movement in be. half of Lien's tox-devourers and in the inter. est of tho old County Riug,*No Greenbacker of scuse and honesty should permit hiwmself to be deceived by the fraud, N WATCH THE $500,000 JOB, As an additional inccutive for the bum. mers and political parasitea to combine in fuvorof *'Boss" Lixn's ticket, the County Ring lave caused an extrp lssuc of half o million dollars in bouds to ba voted on at next Tuosday's election. This is equivalent toa notice that there will be §3500,000%0ver aud abovo the yicld of the constitutionnl tux-levy to gratily the greed of the ringutens and plundorers in case they can keep their hold upon the County Government, It was ashrowd device. Tt wes boliaved thatths woney would bo voted in any case, uuder the impression that many who would vote ogalust the Ring would still vote for this issuo a3 o county necossity, But it is not 8 public necossity, If all the Reform candidates for tho County Board on the Republican ticket be elected, therd will ba an honest msjority in that Board, business management will be insugurated lu tho County Clerk's office, and 28 wuch money will be saved within tho year aa the peoplo are now asked to vote in extra bonds. If the issue of new bonds be neces- sary before the Court-House can be com- pleted, the issue can be postponed a yeur without stopping work, in case the Reform tickot be sugovssful. Duy the Reform tickot may be beaten, after all, 'The Lien gang are making the most desporato efforts to suc- ceed. Al that demagogism, chicanery, and Lrscn's money ean accomplish will be done to defeat the Reform movement, If the Reform movement be defeatod, then the £500,000 will ba squandered and stolen, Tho connty will bo tho loser to just that extent. The danger i too groat to be risked. The connty is nearly ruined a« it is, Thera is so littlo confidenca in the prosent managoment of nffairs, and 80 much uncertainty as toa chango for tha better, that the county can only borrow monoy at a usurious rate of in. terest from month to mouth, Under these conditions, it will bo foolhardy for the tax. payers to rnddlo themsslves with & new morte Bago for hnlf a million dollars. An honest and ecopomical Government can got along without it; if the Government is to con. tinue extravagant and dishonest, it in Letter to starve it into a complinnee with public domnuds, It will be enongh to have the fnll tax-lovy exhausted wilhont voling nn extra fund for plunder, | Every business man and tnxpayor shonld vole against this issue, no matier what ticket he may support. —— AN INSULT TO SCANDINAVIANS. The Dotnocratic Exccutive Committeo hns again showed its cowardica and poltroonery. “In order to cateh Seandinavian votes, the Democeatic Couvention nominnted Orar Riecner, n Scandinavian, for Clerk of tho Probate Court. It will bo remembored thint at the samo Convention, after having promn- 1sed to give tho Workingmen tho otlior offices if they would nominate Lien and Lyxcu, they deliberntely sat down upon the Worke ingmen's eanidates and placed the tools of Lies and Lysen in nominntion. This de. liberato perfldy 8o inconsed tho Workingmen that tho Democrats beenmo alarmed lest tlere should be n general bolt agninst their ticket. Tnking counsol of their fenrs, they have now sumnarily kicked Orar Rizonrr off the ticket nnd put Tmosas Kavasavom, tho * Industrinl” candidate, n very rospect- ablo Irishman, in bis placo upon a ticket nlready Jonded down to tho gunwales with Irishmon. This netion is chnractoristio of the bummors who aro running tho Demo- cratio campnign. In the fieat placo, they deceivo and insult the Workingmen in tho County Convention by a dirty not of politic- al perfidy, They then turn round and ine sult thewm again by making a concession to them which indicates they consider them more vonal and corruptible than the Scandi- navians; and lastly, they deliborately kick out the Scandinavians and spit in their faces with the declaration that they aro of no conscquonce upon the Democratio ticket compared with Irishmen, and that thoy have 10 place upon thoir ticket fora Beanding~ viau 8o long ns they can find an Irishman to fill it, Tho Beandinavians arc not (ho mon wo take them to be if they do mnot resent this deliberato insult to ono of thelr nnmber, aud this contemptuous slight put upon their whole nationality, and make their resentment felt at the clection, If there were but one or two Irishmen on tho Domo- eratic tickot tho easo might be differont, al- though even then it wonld be a gross breach of faith to roject n candidate fairly nomi- nated, and ngninst whom there is no chargo made; but, when the ticket is composed nl. most oxclusively of Irisimen, to kick onta Seandinavisn to make room for ' another Irishman, howevor respectablo ho mnay be, is a specics of poltroonery and insult of which only Dave TuorxtoN's bummers could Lo guilty, That theso bummers hold the Work- ingmen ot a cheap rate isevident enough, but it lu still more ovident that thoy hold the Scan- dinnvians 28 utterly beneath contempt, Tt thero is o Scandinavian in this county who votes for the Democratic ticket nfter this outrageous insult put upon his nationality, it will only show that he is incapabloof knowing whon Lo is slapped in the faco and kicked out into the strect, THE STATE-HOUSE JOB. Tho Bpringficld papers having nssortad that the tax hiad boen inserted in the levy for 1877 to cover tho half-million aud moroe dollars asked for the State-House, and would therefore have to be pnid whother the ox- peudituro was voted down or approvad, wa pointed out that if the people voted down the nppropriation the tax would then be illegal, and its colloction would be prohibited by the Courts. Now the Springfield Journal angwers this by saying: Inco the Journal pobllehed ‘ract (Sec. 18, Arl.IV,) from tho Constitution of 18; Lach General Assenibily shall provide forall the appro.

The Coustitution in cxpross torms proibits the appropriation or expenditure of any more wouoy ou. the State-House unless the same bo nuthorized by the vote of the peoplo; and §f the peopls vote down such su appro- priation, the trick of levying atax for the woney will fail, as it deservos Lo fail. ‘The Stato Government has Llundered all through the business. I'ho State-House Conunissioners wasted nearly a million of dollars of the money authorized to be ex. pended on tho State-llouso. They sup- pressed the facts and deceived tho Logisla. ture until they had expended the last dollar, "The ouly apology or excuse they could offer waue their ignorance and unfitness for {he offices they held. 'Tho most serious objec- tion in the miuds of the people to voting the mouey to mako good the deficiency thus ore- ated 1s the fdot that thess same notorious Comiissioners have, to the disgrace of the Btate, been rotained in office, refuso to yo- sign, and josst on handling whatever ad- ditiopal money may be voted. Had the Commissioners rosigued or been dismissed, there would have been less objection to spending another million of dollars on the State-House, But thero is astrong objection to voting another wmillion of dollars to be exponded by men who have been falss ta the trust reposed in thom. The Spriufield Riug has deflantly declared that the peo- plo must vote the money to b expended by these Commissioners, or tho State-Ilouse ahall remnin unfinished, and, if the nppropri- ation be rejected by the people, the Spring. field Ring may thank their dofinuce (o publis opinfon, TARIFF LEGISLATION. On tho firat day of the session of Congress two Lills wera introdnced having for their object tho rovision and moditiention of the tarifl. One of theso was by Mr. Mormsoy, who introducad the same bill offored by him during tho lnst Congress, but which that CUongress rofused to consider, being too busy in Prosident-ranking to consider snch logislas tion, The other Lill is by Mr. WirvL1a, of New York. Ever sinco tho Monnsoy Lill wna first proposed, the condition of the Unsi. ness of {he country has no chavnged that the wuccossity for tho modification of the tariff has incrensed. Tho MornisoN bill provided for epecitio duties in cvery caso in placo of ad ealorem, and the aholition of donble duties, sv far na ia practicable, It reduced the duty on cotton fabrica from i0 to about 80 por cent; on fron, steel, hardwnre, and motals to an averngo of 25 per cent; on steot rails from £28 to H15 per ton; on cop- per from five to 'two conts per pound; in. creased tho daty on tobacco; reduced the duty on woolen goods from an average of 80 per ocont to 40 per cont; and Invgely reduced the tax on raw wools needed by American manufacturers, A gonoral reduc- tion is mado on & long list of miscellnncoun nrticlos, nnd makes many of them free, eopacinlly drugs, dycs, and chemicaly, Thoe bill alio imposed a low {nx on ten aud coffee, which tax, howover, tho Committeo struck out. ‘Tha Lill was in the interent of rovenuo, and especially in the rcmovnl of taxes which ‘were opprossive upon manufacturers. The bill now proposed by Mr. Wirria has ovidently. been prepared with much care, aud has been modernized to suit the great changes that have taken place in our trade within the last two years. It provides for An avorage reduction of 256 per cent on im. ported merchandise, oxcopt raw materigls which entor into manufactures, on which ar- ticles the duty is either rcpested or very much reduced. A duty is plnced on tea and coffee, All articlos not taxed in the bill aro to bo admitted free of duty, Bpeeifie duties aro lovied so far ns practieable. Tho bill not only chauges and mekes reductions of du. ties, but it cuts out of the thirty or forty tariff Jows n vast amonnt of special, enmber- some logislation which serves no purpose other than to lead to complications and vexa- tious litigation, and offers liberal opportunities” for customs officers to lovy blackmail, The wholo rystem of customs fees is abolished, nnd officers are to be paid salaries, Various high-priced Lut uscless offices nro abolishod. Mr, Wineis claims that the bill, if possed, will savo tho Government $2,000,000 8 year in the cost of collecting the revenne. In these Lills aro contained the generaland specinl ronedies for {ho shameless frauds and abuses ns well as the extortions aud dis- criminations which our present tariff author. izes, Our tariff is framed to produce aslittle ravenuo as possiblo under the highest rates of taxation, It is framed to reduce consump- tion to the minimum, and . consequently to reduco and limit production. It was de. signed nominally to encournge and promote American manufactures, but that idea has long sinca boen nbandoned. Wo are now, in many branchios of manufnctures, producing without reference to the tariff, 'Ihe tariff imposcs o duty af 71 per cent on common printed calico, ‘That onurmous tax was lovied ostensibly to oxclnde British calico from competition ; and now wa are exporling cot- ton printa and cloths and solling them in Manchester in opeu competition with British goods, Protection, fnstead of protecting the American cotton mnnufacturer, was reducing him almost to bankruptoy, closing his mills aud pauporizing his luborers; and tho manufacturor, to save himself, bnd to abandon protection and proceed to nake goods and sell them nt tho world's prices whorever ioconld find a purchaser. Certainly the 71 por cout tax protects no person., ‘The tarif now amounta practically toa prohibition on oxports of American mianufactures, It taxes them on their raw materials. Thoy no longer seck protection against foreign com- petition, but they do need rellef from the taxes thoy are compelled to pay to the “protocted " classos who produce the raw material of their {rades. The chomiuts who wako dyes, and not the manufncturcrs of Manchester, are they who now staud in the way of tho calico priutens aud the woolen monufacturers of this country, When tho differenco of half a cent in the cost of pro. ducing cotton cloth can now control the markots of the world in cotton guods, the tariff which imposes that or a greater tax on the materinls used by our mannfacturers is tho oppressor, rather than "tho protector, of American industry, Despite the mauy years during which tho principles of a protectivo tarilf and its -prac- tical oporatious have becu discussed, there is much confusion in the miuds of thousands of falr-minded people on the subjoct. ‘Lho effoct of a duty s not mensured merely by tho actunl sum paid at the Custom-House, ‘Takofor examplo tho caso of a quantity of merchandise which cost abroad 100, where tho duty, including froights, exchango, in. suranco, ond other mnttors, equals 60 per ceut. ‘Ihese goods pasa throuyh on an Averugo threo honds—tho fuporter, jobbor, and ro- tailer—before they reach tho consumer, The profits of cach of theso are added not only {o the original price of the goods, but also to tho duty and other costs, The orig. inal coat of tho goods being $100, they reach the consumor after {ho following pro- cess: on‘nml cost of good Duly, e1G.0eersers “Fhrce profite on original coa Three profits on duty, ctc., ‘Totn) coat (0 the CODSURIET.ersvrness It will bo scon that the goods whi originally $100 aro oventually bought by con. sumers at an advanoe of 132 per cent, A ro- duction of the duty to 25 per cent would in- clude a reduction of all the jntermediate ad- ditions, and under a duty a¢ that rute thoe cost to the consumor would be: Orizinalcost.,,.. DUty oo seeens ‘Tnree profits cenloin, Total cost to convume: Hero would be & saviug of § cost of tho goods tothe consumer; thae re- duction of duty beiug only §35, the remain. der being saved on the additions incidental to tho highor rate of daties. Every cent added to tho duty is stteuded witha cor- responding increase to the cost of the goods until they reach the consumer, and every cent taken from the duty is alio attended by a like roduction in the cost of the articlo by its final purchaser. The man who has wheat worth $1 per bushel, and waots to purchase goods worth $100, on which therois & duty of 50 per cent, has, in tho first place, o measure out 100 bushels to pay the firat cost of the §oods, and then fitty bushels to pay the duty, and then forty.fiva bushels to pay three profits on the first costof the goods, and then twenty-rovon and n half bushels to pay threo profils on tho dutics; nnd his total fe 2224 bushels, of which 77} bushels are made noceesary beenuse of tho duty. Dnt thatis in cnso ho purchases imported goods. If o purchaso domestic or protected goods, he Lns to pay the spmo amount, of which no part poes to the Troasury. That fa the prica of protecting home industry. A reduclion of the ratos of duty is not only a reductior of taxation to the amount tho to of duty is reduced, but it is also a large reduction in the finnl cost of tho goods, be- cnnse of tho reduction of the sum on which profits are collected, It is now conceded that our maunnfacturors, it they are to live, must cugage fn prodneing goods for sale ontsido of tho American market. To ennble them to do this they mnst have raw material free, that they may produce cheaper, Wo anust buy as well as mell. Wa must reduco tho cost of ravenne collection by stmplifying the machinery, and, abandon- ing tho foreiblo prohibition or limitation on prodnction, let fair competition regulate and control the trade of the country.
