TIE COMPROMISE ACT, THE TARIFF, AND
THE REVENUE.

TIE COMPROMISE ACT, THE TARIFF, AND
THE REVENUE.
Since the appearance of President Tyler's
Massage, many inquiries have been made for a
list of the articles excepted III the filth section OF
the Compromise Ast, and which it IS still propos
ed to leave free; and Of those 7ow free, upon
which it is proposed TO levy duty Of 20 per cent.
We arc indebted for both these o tho New York
American. The editor of that paper understands
that Mr.. Ewing proposes duty OF 20 per cent
ad vaorem all articles now free. Except those
specified IN section . OF the Compromise Act Of
March, 1888, and except gold and Si!ver,) and to
bring up to 20 per cent. the duty all articles
paving less. This measure, It Is believed,
will suffice to render the revenue equal TO tho eX-
penditurcs. until the full and final effect OF the
Compromise Act in March, 1913, can be tested
until which time II seems 10 be desired TO post
pOne the final revision of the tariff
