TUE TRANSFER OF THE INDIAN BUREAU. 1t is considered certain that the Finance Committee's uts to the Indian Appropriation bill, attaching Burean to the War Department, will be adopted.

The bill recently reported from the House Committee on the Judiciary for the establishment of a National Bureau of Insurance wakes the Burcan self-sustaining while it offers security in the matter of insurance by requiring all companics who may act under the law to 4{"[‘0!1( Upited States bonds, the amounts varying according to their capi- tal stock. No party is pennitted to transact fire, marine | and life insurance at the same time. The object of the | proposed legislation is to give every company an oppor- | tunity to show its solvency in order that the public may be guarded against fraud, the principle being similar to that now applied to national banking associations, AGRICULTURAL REPORT. ‘The June report of the Agricultural Department gives & | comparison between the amount of raw cotton imported from the United States into Great Britain during four months of last year and the four corresponding months of the present year. It exceeds the quantity imported from India by almost 100 per cent, and almost exactly equals the totals from all other localities. It is equivalent to 500,726 bales of 400 pounds cachi, The report says 500,000 of bales in four months and $20,000,000 are respectable figures in the trade with one foreign nation even for the palmiest days of cotton shipping from the ports of the United States. The report also shows that Great Britain buys this sea- son ten times as much wheat from Rugsia as from us, and from France nearly six times as much. Only a littlo more than four per cent of her seven millions of hundred weight are brought from the United States. STATIONERY CONTRACT. The stationery contract for supplying the Department of State has again been awarded to Philip & Solomaus of Washington. SULPHUROUS ACID GAS A8 A CURE FOR RINDERPEST, CHOLERA, PLEURO-PNEUMONIA, AND TUBERCUL- 0US DISBASES. A communication has beca received at the Department of State from our Legation at London, inclosing two pampblets relating to certain experiments by Dr. James | Dewor of Kirkealdy for testing the efficacy of sulphurous | acid gas as & disinfectant. Results are cited which lead to the conviction that Rinderpest, Pleuro-Pneumo; and Cholers, and some others by which the human family are afflicted may be not only very much modified but even wholly prevented by this meaps. The method of gener- ating the gas is very simple and inexpensive. It is only uecessary to have a chafer of old ash cinders, set a small crucible into them and drop & plece of sulphur stick of the size of & man’s thumb into it. This will fumigate a large cattle shed or byre in 20 minutes. The animals seem to enjoy it, and it acts as a tonic on man or The shed or Dbyre must be well ventilated during the famigation, as well as before and after it, and sound sanitary rules must be enforced in re gard to cleanliness and the removal of dung heaps. During the prevalence of such epidemics as are above named, the | fumigation may be made according to the foregoing direetions four or five times & day; and not only is this treatment said to cure the fatal diseases, but it is stated that mange, ringworm and lice have vanished before it, | and that grease heels in horses have also been cured by it, | while severe cases of phthisis aud tubercular affections of the lungs have been relieved in human beings. The mat- ter is worthy of study and experiment by our scientific sud professional men, Dr. Dewor having liberally con- sented to the free use of his pamphlets, they will be sent | by the Bacrotary of State to an sppropriate committee in Congress, with a view to their publication and dis- tribution. s TilE ©OLORED PEOPLE AND THE PAIR—THE LADIES OF THE FAIR DO NOT ADMIT COLORED CHILDREN—A DAY IS SET APART FOR THE COLORED CHILDREN AND THE COLORED CHILDREN ARE INVITED —THE COLORED CHILDREN DON'T COME AND THE LADIES ARE BORED— FREEDOM AND SLAVERY.

A PARK NEAR WASHINGTO! Mr. Rice (M introduced a bill for the cstablishment and maintenance of a public park in th trict of Col umbis, which was twice and referred to the Commit- public B tee ou Public Bujldiz e and Grounds i TR TARIFY BILL. The Honse then went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, Mr. SCHOFIELD in the chair, aud resnmed consideration of the Tarill bill, Mr. AMEs moved to increase the duty on squares of steel or iron marked for measuring trom kix to ten cents per pound. Mr. Harpixe (11L) 1-: posed the amendment and said it 30,000,000 out of the Treasury to would be better to tthis bill was desigued than to pass those for whose be ny | this bill, The amendment was withdrawn Mr. MoreiLL moved to increase the duty on squares of steel or iron marked for measuring from six to nine cents » pound, . HA ixG (T11) protested against the ing the people of the West for the beuetit of facturers, . Mr. KELLY replied that the question of protection here to-day was more eminently a question of protection to the grower of wheat than to the manufacturer of any fabric. Mr. MoormeAD (Penn.) wrgued generally " that the smount of duty laid on articles had not the effect of in- creasing their cost, illustrating the argument by the asser- tion that squares of steel are cheaper now than they were when the duty was less, Mr. @axpisa (1) ridiculed the argument and called for reduction of duties for the benefit of the people of the West. IHe said that if the duty on cut nails was taken off m;{ eould be made much chedper. r. DAWES referred to cut nails that within the recol- lection of Mr. Harding’s life, under the influence of the protective principle, cut nails bad fallen in_price until they wero now pure able for one-fourth of what they fifteen years ago. Had it not been for protection the ople of this country would be to-day dependent upon England and the old prices would have to be paid. Under the system of protection competition had sprung up and bronght the l\ml:lt article of cut nails down to unn-Emnl. principle of tax- Eastern manu- of w.at it would have been had free-trade beeu encour- I I the monopoly of the market left to England. The principle was the same in regard to every other arti- cle. The Tariff Bill could be framed on one of two prin- ciples alone—on the principle of laging the duty on the raw material, or of laying it on the wannfuctured article. The effect of the tarif must be one of two things. It must bring in the mannfactured article, or it must bring in the laborer himself. It must import the laborer or the labor. The article must be manufsctured on this side of the water or on the other side. If on the other side, the Iaborer will stay there; if on this side, the laborer will come here and enrich the country, the gentleman’s (Hard ing’s) State more than any other part. If Illinois wanted wealth, she must have laborers; and laborers she could have if she would permit them to have employment on this side of the water, rather than on the other. He de- tied the gentleman or any one else to form a system of SEC. 5.

He dwelt briefly on the reasons for and against the smendment. Mr. STEWART advocated the Fmgoud amendment, after which further cobsideration of the #Ill was _postponed ntil y, and, on motion of Mr. DoOLITTLE, the uate, at 3 o'clock, went into Executive session, and soon after ufloumd.

Mr. MoRRILL moved to amend the parsgraph about rail road fron, soas to read: * On all iron imported in bars for railroads and inclined planes, made to patterns and fitted to be laid down on such roads aud planes without further manufacture, 1 cent per pound.” Mr. WiLsoN (Iowa) woved to amend the amendment ;t{ making the duty seventy cents perone hundred pounds. e said he was almost diuwd to recommend the gentle- man from Peansylvavia (Kelley) to the appointing power a3 head of the Agricultural Department, on account of the ideas he had put forth—but which the farmers of the West have mueh difficulty in comprehending unless they come in some special form. He (Wilson) found by a statement before him that the amount of internal tax takea off rail- road iron was §8 40 per ton, and on pig iron $3 40. He t that ought to be regarded as a sufficient advan. the iron rollers. r. GRisWOLD stated that the manufacturers of railroad iron had been losing money for the last three or four years, ;l‘h-y could not compete to-day with English manufac- urers, Mr. Wirsox (Towa) asked Mr. Griswold to inform him how much the manufacturers of railroad iron had lost. Mr. GRISWOLD, without answering the question, asked Mr. Wilson whether he considered that striking at the was the way s from $40,f 0 $50,f r mile, while the differenco between the prosent dut htm ilp:n at was and the r-od duty was only $450 per mile. the flo&m it. !y-’lln‘ of {h Trade League of New-York, he said that not one a: its officers or coun- sellors was identified with the industrial interosts of the United States; but they were almost without e: :dyuw identified directly or indirectly with the English trade. Mr. KAYMOND 8aid that this was a sizple question of detail. The iron-rolling interest of the country was en- titled Wnn also. The duty on raiiroad iron was raised yeumm.lfl&s-rwnwflsu,u for the reason that the internal wmunudlo 40. "Ml internal duty had been taken Off, and yet it was proposed | now to raise the duty on imported iron to 22 50, equiva 1ent to an increase of $6 75 in addition to t e $8 40 of in- | ternal tax taken off, being an increased protection of $15 15 per tun. That was & very large increaso in the rate of duty on railroad iron. Iron imported '\mder the | present law had to pay now a duty of $15 75, in gold; freight charges, eqnel to 5 5 or mare, also in gold | surance and commissions amounting to $5 more, making in all $22 75 in gold, or $38 62 in carrency, to be paid on every tun of rairoad iron brought here from hng!nnyL And now it was proposed to increase the duty $6 75 in gold or $10 in currency, so that every railroad L‘ompnn{ that bought a ton of iron would have to pay when landed, | in bond, $48 in corrency, over and above the cost of the article abroad. The great complaint he made against pro- tection was not that it was wrong in_principle, but that there was no end to it. They had been told in the begiu- | ning that protection would only be needed for a few years, and then that the manufacturers of the country tould stand-alone. They bad been adding on moreand | more protection for the last 30 or 40 years, and_still the maunufacturers asked for more. The w-York | Central and Erie Railroads employed togetber five | times more capital than all the rolling-wills in the United States, disbursing ten times as much money to work them, and supporting ten times as many people. These tworoads renewed usually one-fifth of their track every year, re- quiring, each of them, 20,000 tuns of railroad fron. At the present Tate of duty the duty on that was $772,000; at the increased rate proposed it would be $975,000—tkat is to say, these two roads would pay about $2,000,000 by way of each as protection. They had paid’ last year $1,000,0 Internal tax. There must be an end to that—they could | not stand such a pressure. These were only two Tailroad | companies, All tho railroad companics of the United States had paid last year little less than $6,000,000 for in- ternal tax, and now it was proposed to put upon them $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 more in the shape of proteetion. Te dosired to see the time come when these manufactur- ing establishments would have got fuoting enough to pro- tect themselves. At any rate he did not like to see the railroads of the country saddled with enormous taxation merely for the protection of the iron-rolling interest, which was now amply protected. Mr. GRISWOLD asked whether the gentleman (Raymond) that home competition was the surest way, not only in theory but in actual experiment, to cheapen production ? Tiie iron-rolling mills of this coun- try, with a cupn(-ury to produce 900,000 tuns anuually, pro- diced last year onfy 350,000 to 400,000 tuns, because the low grades of English iron could be sold here cheaper than Ameriean railroad iron. No branch of Industry in En- gland had ever contributed so much to the " national wealth and prosperity as the great iron interest. He ap- appealed 1o his col A’n{flk"|lu)‘n)1rlllll 1ot to permit his judgment to be warped by the futile and specious argu- ments presented by persons interested in railways or foreign manufactures, x Mr, WiLsON (Towa) said it would have been more satis- ry if the gentleman (Griswold), instead of dealing in | mere genernli 1ad come down to details, and said how | yanch the iron manufacturers had lost in their bnsiness. | This was simply legislation in favor of keeping up high | 1 could have 1o other effect. ‘ | ARFIELD said that if the duty was fixed as it had already been on bat iron, then justice required that daty be put on reilroad iron. It cost slmest the same to make | Traiirosd iron 48 it did & tun of common bar iron. ded,that the iron interests of the country should | n fp and destroyed by the interests of forcigu arers. ‘The Birmingham smiths, more than a cen- warter siu utioned Parliament that the | ould be suhjeeted tosuch restrictions as should | the iron trade to England, That was still the purpose and_ policy of Great Britain. Those who de- sired that Great Britait should succeed in that policy might vote for the proposition of the gentleman from lowa (Mr. [ Wilson). In 1750 a bill was actually introduced into the | British Parliament ordering that every iron-mill in America | should be demolished, and it only lacked 32 votes of bvmfi | carried, but o proposition was carried that no iron-mi should be ever erected, and no trip-hammer run by water power should be erected in the colonies of America. They might produce the raw material and ship it to England for her behoof ; but whenever they proposed to step beyond and make for themselves what fron they needed, the Birm- ngham smiths went up to Parliament asking for such legis- tioh as should forev the trade to the people of at Britain, There was the same sort of issue sull. Mr. Donge argued in favor of increased protection to railroad iron, predicting that under is mills would spring up all over the West, not ouly to make new rails but to re-roll old ones, and to perpetuste in the cheapest manner possible the existence and progress of railroads Westward. Mr. ALLISON spoke in favor of reducing the duty on rail- road iron. He K-u.-d gentlemen who were insisting oo | proteetion not to suppose that those who were opposed to too much protection were free-traders. He was w lling to give to home manufucturers all the protection which the exigency required, but no more. He knew of an iron mill in Penusylvania which, ou a capital of $200,000, had paid Jast year $215,000 of internal tax, and he did not_suppaose ithad been nmnlnr ataloss, He found that the iron- rolling interest had been growing during the year, and that the iron-mills of Pennsylvania had paid more internal revenue for the last month than they bad paid during the preceding year,and yet they asked an additional protection of $6 a tun_after having been relicved of $8 40 internal X ?n--ul.-fllmt other on bad been made for el Tenent, such as requiring all the Pacific Railroad Companies to purchase iron of American manufacturers. He thonght that the iron interest ought to be amply satis- fied with the present tarifl, . Mr. BExsA X argned (hat the present duty on imported fron Was sufficiently high as a protection to that interest. Mr. STEVENS said that all these froe-trade doctrines that are now located along the Mississippi, wq& some years ago down further South, 1had heped th ey were ex- sunged from the free, industrial,” manufacturing North; [m! 1 was wistaken. Whatever else they do, I am very | sorry that the South has not taken away with it all the: free-trade doctrines, Thirty years ago, before there were | rolling mills in Penusylvania for iron bars of this kind, the | price of the article iitroduced from England was more than three times what it was five years ago. Before the | war, the reduction was csused simply by ‘)mle«-linx Amer- | jcan interosts, and enabling the iron mills to build up a trade; and yot, these geutlemen cannot see it or under- | stand it; they are blind to everything but theory, which is 0 mere theory, aud never ean be reduced to practice without crushing all the interests of the country. Do not | | gentlemen know that the reason why Epgland can send | Ter iron over here as she does is because the price of labor | is only about one-third what it is here 1 The price of iron is well ascertained to consist of one-twentieth part of cap- ital and mineteen-twentieths of labor.

Mg. STEVENS abruptly closed his remarks at that point, “{ling that he was too exhausted to procecd. r. KassoN said: 1 am glad that the geutleman from Pennsylvauia has renewed his suggestion that 1am a free- trader; Iam glad of it for two purposes—first, that I may ate what kind of division exists on the part of principles which divide the House as they do the country on this lulflcc!. ‘Ihere is, on the one hand, the absolutely free- trader, who wishes to abolish Custom-houses, and let the markets of the world be as free as the markets of our own country. At the antipodes from here is a man who calls himself u protectionist, but who is a prohibition- ist; and who (one of them, a particular friend of the distinguished geutloman from Pennsylvania), told me be would build ng & Chinese wall between the United States and every other part of the world. Between these two extres two other classes; one of them wishes simply to foster the infantile industries of America until they are able to tske care of themsclves in free com- petition ‘with the encrgies and industries of forei countries. To that class of free traders I belong. 'l‘i: other is class of men who also call themselves protec- tionists, who wish to build np monopolies in the country at the expense of the consumer and at the expense of other industries in which they are not concerned. I do not pretend to say to which of these four classes any member of this House bolongs except myself, but I do distinctly affirm, sud 8o knows the Free Trade League of New- York, and any other Froe Trad as committed to their interests, t! ing of the infantile interests of Amerit bave obtained their majonty, and can stand alone, I woul would then open to the ignored the fact G say, * Hands off,” and p'flh of the country the i;rml of buying where they could buy cheapest, and selling where they could sell bighest.

If that is to be a free trader, I glory in the word. The millions of in the West cannot see it when you tell thom that they aro selling their railroad iron cheaper, with the extra duty on it, than they got it preflmul‘.‘ The debate was further continued by Messrs. Kelley, @riswold, Morrill and Hale. Mr. HALE said the cheapness of iron in this country be- fore the war, and which would exist to-dsy but for the in- flation cansed by the war, was the result of a_protection to home industry, of hnfldu:g up American interests, of diseriminating in favor of our own labor, 50 a8 to give the market to home producers. the bome manufacturers were struck down, the people would be left at the mercy of foreign im:omn.
