The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 18. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for reassurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

WHAT IS THE PRESENT CONDITION OF INDUSTRY —The facts which constitute an answer to this ques tion are to a considerable degree contradictory and paradoxical. On the one hand, there is much that indicates that the country is rapidly recovering from the effects of the war, and resuming that won derful career of progress and development which especially characterised its history during the period embraced in the thirteen years from 1847 to 1860. On the other hand, there is another class of facts which as unmistakably indicate the existence of agencies which tend to arrest *or obstruct national development, and which foster speculation, idleness, extravagance of living, discontent with moderate and slow gains, haste to be rich, and the spirit of trading as distinguished from the spirit of produc tion. Within the last five years more cotton spindle ; have been put in operation, more iron furnaces erected, more iron smelted, more bars rolled, more steel made, more coal and copper mined, more lum ber sawed and hewn, more houses and shops con structed, more manufactories of different kinds started, and more petroleum collected, refined, and exported, than during any equal period in the history of tha country ; and this increase has been greater both as regards quality and quantity, and greater than the legitimate increase to be ex pected from the normal increase of wealth and po pulation. EFFECTS OF THE WAR. —lnvestigation shows that in many departments•of industry the cost of skilled labour and of raw material in Great Britain and the United States very closely approximated in 1860. In 1860 American coarse cottons were obtaining the command of most extra-European markets. In 1860, wooden ships, allowing for quality, could be built cheaper in the United States than in any other country. In 1860 copper in the pig was ex ported from the United States in profitable 301H petition with the mines of Cuba and South Ame rica ; and evidence has also been presented to the Commissioner showing that in some instances pig iron was manufactured with profit at rates far lower than the average of Europe, while the purchasing power of the wages paid for the same was consider ably greater than at present. But the war came, bringing with it certain inevitable results, and these results now constitute the per contra upon the na tional ledger before referred to. The feature about them which, in contrast with the facts above cited, seems contradictory and paradoxical, is that while our resources as a nation have, on the whole, con tinued unimpaired, while we continue to possess and enjoy the greatest area of fertile territory, the most unrivalled means of intercommunication, na tural or artificial, and the freest and most popular form of government; while the aggregate annual products of the soil have continually increased and not diminished, and those of the anvil, the forge, the loom, and the spindle have also multiplied, there is, nevertheless, hardly a single domestic article or product, agricultural or manufactured, in behalf of which the claim, either directly or indirectly, has not been male within the last two years that the same could be produced to greater advantage or profit in some other country than the United States; increased protection even being demanded for oil paintings, rough building stone, Indian corn, Bibles and ice—the last to the extent of 15 per cent. gold, and this claim the Commissioner is obliged to admit is, to a very great extent, in exact accordance with the truth. The United States finds itself, there fore, in the anomalous position of a great nation, favoured in many respects as no other nation upon which the sun shines, unable to exchange its pro ducts on terms of equality with the products of any other country ; the marked exception being always its product or supplies of the precious metals. ADVERSE AGENCIES.—The immediate cause of the anomalous conditifan of affairs in question must unquestionably be referred to the greatly increased cost of nearly all forms of labour and commodities as compared with the price for the same that pre vailed in the decade imme liately preceding the war ; while these in turn must be regarded as the result ant mainly of three agencies growing out of the war, -viz., irredeemable paper eurretunc.,--stnegua—auid,..;.;,:::::4::t;..," 7l heavy taxation, and a limited supply of skilled 14- boar, the last manifesting itself at the present time in specialties rather than in general. NATIONAL TAXATION UNDER THE TARIFF.—It is important to recognize the fact that under the exist ing financial conditio❑ of the country, the old-time issues between the advocates of free trade on the one hand and protection on the other, have ceased to be of any real practical importance—inasmuch as in the arrangement of a tariff with a view to revenue, the requirements of the Government must certainly, for the, present, necessitate so high an average of duties as to afford all that can be reasonably asked for on the grounds of protection ; and with a given requirement, moreover, for revenue, in excess of what can be derived from the taxation under the tariff of acknowledged luxuries, there would seem to be no valid objection to distributing the addi tional taxation in such a manner as to favour those branches of industry most exposed to foreign com petition. TILE EXISTING TARIFF.--TIIC avowed object of the tariff, as revised in 1861, was revenue to pro vide for the expenses of a great war. Subordinate only to this was the other principle of discriminat ing duties in favour of domestic or home industry —a principle which may be considered as the set tled policy of the great majority of the American people, and which, as we have already shown, is recognized and virtually acted upon by all the lead ing commercial nations of Europe. With the ter mination of the war, and with accruing receipts from the tariff in excess of the actual requirement of the Treasury, the popular tendency as expressed by legislation, accomplished or projected, has been to reverse the order of importance of these two principles, and to make the idea of revenue subor dinate to protection rather than protection subor dinate to revenue. And in carrying out, further more, the idea of protection, but the rule for guid ance would appear to have been adopted for legis lation, viz. ; the assumption that whatever rate of duty could be shown to be for the advantage of any private interest, the same would prove equally advantageous to the interests of the whole country. The result has been a tariff based upon small issues rather than upon any great national principle; a tariff which is unjust and unequal ; which need lessly enhances prices ; which takes far more indi rectly from the people than is received into the Treasury ; which renders an exchange of domestic for foreign commodities nearly impossible; which necessitates the continual exportation of obliga tions of national indebtedness and of the precious metals ; and which, while professing to protect Ame rican industry, really, in many cases, discriminates against it. INDISCRIMINATE PROTECTION A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE EXISTING TARlFF.—Another characteristic feature of the existing tariff is that it attempts in discriminate or universal protection, an idea which, if fully carried out, would render all protection a nullity ; and to the extent to which it is carried out does more for foreign as compared with domestic industry than almost any other one agency. The term raw material is only a relative expression ; so much so, that it would be difficult to instance any article, the product of industry, to which it could whether e th th e e r be absolutely and unqualifiedly applied. H nece ssity in the construction of a tariff , the object aimed at be revenue or protection, of the ; exercise of discrimination which discrimination, in order that it may be intelligent, must be based, not on a consideration singly and separately of the in terests involved, but upon a consideration and d isnu g es e tta o hi f en thectanr thedr n l el al doctrine l s e w separate nvtew in terestssk annv knowledge p t g h e i approximates to perfection in at the the,a t d a eg l legislationl ree th at it provides for the greatest good of the greatest number.
