THE TARIFF.

STUTTGARD, JULY 22 —Sir George Shee, the Eng-
lish Ambassador, has agreeable news to send to London
respecting the Customs Union, the augmentation of the
import-duties on twist, appears not to be approved ot;
notwithstanding the urgent solicitations of the advocates
of such a measure who are now here. Prussia fears that
it would thereby be drawn into the prohibitive, or at
least, the protective system. On the other hand the
deputies of the Customs Union (doubtless according to
their instructions), are said to be inclined to augment
the duties on woollens and mixed cloths, for while cot •
tons, fur instance, pay an import duty of fifty dollars,
merinos, mousselines de time, &c., pay only thirty dol-
lars, though the value of these articles is much greater.
By this disproportion in the duties, the woollen manufac-
• tures, especially ladies' dresses, have become the most
dangerous rivals of cottons, the consumption of which
accordingly decreases. But on the other hand it is to be
observed that woollens in general undoubtedly give
warmer and more durable clothing than cottons, and the
public is consequently essentially interested in not
having the prices of these necessary articles artificially
increased, and that regard must be had to the poorer
classes, to whom warmer and yet cheap clothing is so
necessary ; for the finer goods used by the rich are
much less affected (in proportion to their prices) by the
the Import-duty. Now as we have not, and do not,
mean to introduce the system of ad valorem duties, the
proposed measure might very easily affect the public
without benefiting the manufacturers.
