REMARKS OF MIR. RIVES ON THE
TARIFF

We would call the attention of our readers to
the remarks of Mr.. Rives, in the Senate, on the
Tariff question, as reported in the Globe, which
will be found in ,o-day's paper. The PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Rives, if it had been adopted
would have put the ''vexed question" to rest
1t would undoubtedly have had the hearty con
currence of the President, and Of a majority of
both parties out of Congress. Thus 1t would
have been permanent.
AS it is, high protective Tariff, which will
not Weld sufficient revenue for the purposes of
Government, has passed both Houses in one,
by the casting vote of Democrat. The re-
sponsibility will not be with the President.
Mr. Rives, and those who voted for his pro-
position, will receive the appreciation OF the
country.

THE LATE TARIFF BILL.

We find numerous anonymous writers 1--WE
presume they are manufacturers, in every
sense of the word1 are still contradIctIng our
assertion that the late Tariff bill would have
left deficit in the Treasury if it had become a
law. of ten or twelve millions of dollars. Well,
they can contradict US. But we assure them
we stated truly. True, Mr.. Toward was away,
but had he been present, he would not, and
could not, have made the calculations himself
they would have been confded to the IDENTICAL
officers that made them in his absence.

To the PRESIDENT Of the United States
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, August 9th, 1912
GENTLEMEN: The President has referred to me
your letter to him. of the 10Th of this month, asking
for the interposon OF the good offices OF the Govern
ment in behalf of sundry citizens of the United States
now held prisoners Van Die mans Land, convic-
ton of offences growing out Of the revolutionary
movements in Canada some years ago; and has IN
struced me to adopt such the subject may
be most likely to promote the object which you have
in view.
The considerations which you state, gentlemen, are
undoubtedly such may justify the exercise OF elem
eCcy On the part of the British Government, towards
these persons. They have been transported half
round the globe to penal colony, have already suf-
fered much and long; and many of them have friends
and connections in the United States, who sympa
thze deeply in their fate For the purposes of exam
ple it would seem that it would be hardly useful to
continue their punishment longer. And now, that
other questions of difference have been settled, and
that undis,urbed peace may be expected along the
borders, their release would be happy and proper
consequence of the pacific arrangements recently en-
tered into between the two Governments.
| shall communicate your letter, without delay to
Her Britannia Majesty's Minister Plenpoientary and
Special and respectfully urge him to press the Con-
sideration of your request upon the attention OF his
Government.
And will add gentlemen, that entertain the
strongest hope that this nerposition will at the pre-
sent moment be efecua and that these mistaken and
misguided young will soon be returned to Their
country.
Iha,e the honor to be, gentlemen, with great re-
spect your obedient servant,

CORRESPONDENCE IN RELATION TO
AMERICANS SENT TO VAN DlEMAN'S
LAND
HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES,,

AUG. 10, 1912.
sIR; We beg leave TO address you in behalf of
sundry citizens of the United States held prisoners
by the British Government in its penal colony of
Van Deman's Land.
1t is represented to us that upwards of one hundred
citizens of the United States thus held captive at
the present moment
They are chiefly young of the State of New
York, who, during the late revolutionary movements
IN Canada, conceving that the struggle there was
analogous in principle to the revolutionary war OF
their own country, volunteered their services in aid
as they were induced to suppose, of the people OF
the British Provinces in arms for independence.
Being taken in against the established Gov
eminent of those Provinces, and found amenable TO
Its criminal laws, they sentenced to the punish
ment of transportation to Van Dieman's Land.
We have been charged with the presentation to
the House of many memorials, and of the proceed
ings of public meetings, seeking the nterposition of
the Government Of the United States for the release
of these prisoners.
1t seems to us that the accomplishment of this OBJ
ject is one, which would be honorable and just for
the Federal Government to attempt, by application
to that of Great Britain
Though convicted and sentenced in due form of
law, for the acts committed by them, yet the crimes
charged were Of political nature class OF offences,
in regardto which il is common for one Government to
nterpose amcably in behalf Of its subjects held cap
tive by another Government.
These individuals, in volunteering to enter Canada,
deemed themselves to be exercising rights Of emf
grafton, and Of action in foreign war; appertaining
TO 6 he it'd and,
not until after many of them had actually been made
prisoners in Canada, that they became that
they proceeding in violation OF the laws OF
their own country as well as those of the British
Provinces
They have already been severely punished and,
for public effect their liberation would, it seems to
us, be more useful in preserving the peace OF the
frontier than their longer detention.
We cannot but hope, therefore, that the Federal
Government, which has recently exerted itself sc
efficiently for the release of citizens of the United
States detained in Mexico, may be induced to extend
its parental care to those, also, who confined ir
Van Dieman's Land.
We think that the present time, when arrange
ments in progress for the removal of so many OF
the causes of difference between the United States
and Great Britain, is suspicious occasion for So
licting from the latter act of mercy towards the
citizens of the former, thus attestng in the strongest
manner, the reciprocal good feeling, by which both
Governments are actuated.
We therefore would most respectfully submit tc
your consideration the propriety and wisdom of i'm
mediately applying to the British Government fol
the release of these citizens of the United States.
We have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
