as the Tories had the majority in Congress,
1t was passed into law, and received the
appreciation of President Jackson. BY that
law the last reduction will be made on the
first day of July, 1912, after which there
will be no duties, under that act, above 20
per cent. ad ualorcm. This is the law now
in force, except as modified by the act Of
the extra session, which raised the duties on
imported silks, wines, &c. up to the rate
fixed by the compromise bill. These duties
had been repealed as to French silks and
wines, by the treaty with France, in 1881,
by which we obtained indemnity for French
spollations upon our commerce, subsequent
to 1900. That treaty had expired, howev-
er, by its own limitation, before the duties
were raised to 20 per cent. lasi summer.

From MExico.-The n. O. Bee of the llth
publishes letter from Brantz Mayer, Secrea-
ry OF the U. S. Legation at Mexico, relative to
the release of Franklin Coombs by Santa Ana.
Il corroborates Mr.. C,'s statement already
published, but says that his release was effected
through the interpositon of Mr.. Ellis, our
Minister there, and was not granted merely as
personal favor by Santa Ana, as stated by the
latter to Col. Hamilton. 1t shows by brief
sketch of the whole matter that Mr.. Ellis did
his duty promptly, fully and efficiently.
A letter has also been received, says the Bee
from Mr.. Kendall, dated at the Hospital of St.
lazarus, 18th of March, He speaks in terms
of high encomium of Mr., Mayer, from whom
he has received every cvity and attention.
So far as he has been able to ascertain from
his limited means of acquiring information, he
thinks that every exerIion has been made by
Mr.. Ellis to procure his Liberation, compatible
with his instructions. He expresses no hope
OF release except through the interference of
the Government Of the United States,

FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL, 30, 1912.
TARIFFS.

The first tariff law that was ever enacted
by our government, was passed by the Con-
gress of 1899, and approved on the 1st
of June of the same year, by President
Washington. 1t was the second act passed
by the first Congress of the United States,
after the adoption of the Constitution.
We believe no other revenue act was adj
opted with any view to protection, before the
session of 1916. That act established a
few manufactures among US, such as hats,
boots, shoes, harnesses, and the coarser cot
ton tabrics,-but it was wholly insufficient
for wool, woollens, and most other manu-
features. We CROPPED our way along in the
dark, struggling against adversely and en-
barrassment, importing more than we expor-
ted, and laboring under great difficulties, till
the tariff bill of 1924 was adopted. Tha,
tariff gave the first impulse to the industry of
our country, and a great number of our citi-
zens embarked in the business of manufac-
turing, but, suffering under the combined
difficulties of a want of capital and want
of skill, while at the same time the cheap
fabrics of Eurpe were flooding our markets,
many, who engaged in the woolen and iron
manufactures, were ruined. They deman-
ded an increase of protective duties, and
succeeded in obtaining il in 1923. This was
called the " High Tariff Bill" and its opera
ton was most salutary, SO far as the business
OF the country was concerned. But the
South raised great clamor against it, and
threatened Notification" unless it was
repealed.
In 1882 there was a modification of the
tariff, by which some duties were reduced,
ond others, not required for protection, such
as those on tea, coffee, cocoa, and long
list of MINOR articles, were taken of. This
however did not satisfy the South, nor the
4" Free Trade" party of the North. They
demonstrated against the protective policy
altogether, and demanded its repeal. Presi-
dent Jackson sided with them, and the
continued threats and clamor of the South
and OF the importing merchants in our
cities, stimulated by English agents, were
so great that the friends of protection
were compelled to yield. A COMPROMISED
act was accordingly effected in 1898, while
President Jackson was in the chair of state
with large majorities in both branches of
Congress, by which all duties were 10 be
gradually reduced, in succession of nine
years, down to 20 per cent. aud made uni

TIE CHILDREN IN THE WooD.-Two chill
dren of the name of Meggher, the Oldest not
over six years old, strayed from the residence
OF their parents, into the woods, about four
miles from the town Of Dartmouth, Nova Sco-
tia, on the afternoon of the 18th instant. Sew
eral persons started in pursuit, but they all re-
turned without success. On Sunday the l7tb,
large number again went in pursuit. and after
proceeding about SIX miles from the house of
the parents, through the woods, their attention
was arrested by the barking of dog of one of
the party, when they were both found dead,
locked in each Others arms. From the APP
pearance of their limbs, they must have suffer-
ed dreadlully. The father and mother were
both lying sick at the time.

IMPORTANT News FROM lNDA.-Disds-
ters Of the British IN Afghanistan.-By
letters from Bombay Of the lst of February,
intelligence has been received Of the great
est disaster which has ever yet bciaIlcn the
British in the EAT. At least five thousand
English and Anglo-lndian troops have been
destroyed in their retreat from Cabool
Success in the East had become so much
a matter Of course, that the first accounts of
this tremendous disaster were at first discred-
tied. Subsequent accounts however, leave
no doubt Of the accuracy Of the leading fea-
lures of the intelligence. Between 5000
and 5000 troops have been desroyed-the
British commander General Elphinstone,
has been taken prisoner-numbers of Eng.
lish officers have falcn--the British Envoy,
Sir VIM. M'Nagh,on has been treacherously
assassinated-thc murder of Sir Alexander
Burnes, is conGrmed-and Lady M'Naghton
and sixteen other ladies are in the power of
the Ahghans.
Such is an outline of the disasters. In
order, however to give your readers view
of the whole circumstances of the case, it
will be necessary to revert to the past. The
position of the British in India, and the ex-
tent of their dominlons, is but impeIfectly
known in England, and cannot be supposed
to be very familiar to the generality of Ame-
rican readers.
The spread of Russia influence in the
East, has ever been source of jealousy to
England. Accordingly couple of years
ago when Russia marched on Khirech, and
was known to be intriguing against us in
Persia, the Anglo-indian government took
the alarm. |, was resolved that grand
blow should be struck. Russian influence
was dominant in Persia; Alehanistan lies
between Persia and British dominions, Sc
that when il was found that the Russian.
were intriguing agains, them at Herat, and
were gradually extending their influence
eastward, England determined to extend

HARD TO PLEASE.

The Democracy held convention in the
Court House in this town last Tuesday for
the ostensiblc purpose of obtaining an in
crease of the duty on imported wool above
the rate at present fixed by the Tariff
Bll' of Mr.. SALToNsrALL. As we said
last week, we sincerity hope the duty on
wool may yet be raised before the bill of
the Committee becomes law of the land,
and it will be time enough for the Tories to
clamor after that event takes place. 1t
strikes us however that these gentlemen are
very "hard to please" For while they
have been denouncing the Wings, for years,
as the High Tariff party, they now claim
that appcllation for themselves, and scold the
Wings most Justify for not imposing higher
protective duties. But, 81 let that pass" for
the present. We shall .unmask the dema-
gogucs, however, at our leisure. But the
most amusing part of the proceedings ofthis
convention was the appointment of a COM
mittee of three lawyerst to select some "dcm-
ocrat" tn the Senate or House of Represen-
tatives to whom the resolutions of the "par-
ty" might be safely cntrusled-the delega-
ton from this State being considered by
these "high tariff" men as too strongly at
tached to the principles of" Free Trade"!
We presume the committee will select Ath-
ertom and Woodbury. of New Hampshire,
or Calhoun and RheH of South Carolina as
safe and proper men," true democrats" and
good protectionists" enough TO take charge
of their proceedings. Query. Wouldn't
it be well enough TO request the Washington
Globe to publish the resolutions and the
New Era, Evening Post, Richmond Enqui-
rer, Albany Argus, set id omne genus" TO
publish thcml If the wire pullcrs, who
called this meeting, instead of styling It a
convention to protect the "Wool growers"
had chrisened it "a meeting to null the
wool orer the eyes ofthe people," they would
more truly have designated its object. We
shall pay our respects TO some of the rusolu.
tons Of the convention when they appear
in the Sentinel.

TEMPERANCE.

Through the cxertions of Mr.. John n.
IIickok, reformed drunkard, and an in
defaligablc laborer in the cause of total
abstinence from all intoxicating drinks,
twcnty-onc individuals, constituting, with
two or three exceptions, the entire crew of
the steamboat Burlington, have signed the
following pledge
"We, whose names arc annexed, DESTROYS
of joining a Society for our mutual benefit,
and to guard against a pernicious practice,
which is injurious to our health, standing,
and families, do pledge ourselves, as gentle
men, that we will not drink any spirituous or
malt liquors, wine or cidcr.''
MIR. Hickok is entitled to great credit for
his unwearicd efforts in the cause IN which
he is engaged. He knows, cxpcrimcntaly,
the evils of the practice he is combating,
and is generously devoting himself to the
reformation of others. If he could induce
the Directors Of the Steamboat Company to
Danish all intoxicating liquors from theil
boats, and take down their bars, he would
confer still greater favor upon the com.
munity. They have already the example Of
other boats, an experiment with the appro-
baton, it is believed, of the public

The BOUNDARY QUEsTIoN.-It mas been
rn'nored Tor some days, says the Boston Daily
ADV. OF yesterday, that the Secretary of State
has written to Gov. Fairfield of Maine, request
ing him to call session of the Legislature, for
the purpose of obtaining their sanction to
measures for the adjustment of the boundary
question. The Portland Argus says on this
subject
1t is now pretty generally understood in this
quarter, that Mr.. Webster has written TO Gov,
Fairfield, requesting him to call forthwith an
extra session of the Legislature, for the porpose
OF appointing comm sslOners to treat with Lord
Ashburton and the General Government on
the Northeastern Boundary Question 1t is al
so understood, that Gov. Davis, of Massachu-
sets, has been written to on the same subject
and tor the same purpose.
In the Massachusetts Legislature, at the late
session, certain resolutions were passed. which
it was understood were intended TO invest the
Governor and Council with authority to meet
the case now supposed. Whether the resolu-
tons are regarded by the Governor and Coun.
Gil as comforting the requisite power 10 accede to
any terms of compromise likely to be proposed,
we are not informed. 1t is to be regretted, we
think, that the grant of power to assent on the
part OF ms state to any arrangement which
should be satisfactory to the Governor and
Council, had not been specifically granted.
The Saco Democrat, published at the place
of Gov. FarIield's residence) confirms the re.
port that the Governor last week received n
letter from Mr. Webster, suggesting the expe.
dency of calling an extra session of the Leg
stature. The Democrat was not informed Of
the determination of the Executive in relation
to the matter
