THE. TARIFF,

The subjoined remarks upon the new
American Tariff bill, are sensible and
just. A great objection to it is, that, by
various contriVances and DISCUSSES, enor-
nous duties are levied at a nominal rate,
which appear comparatively moderate.
Its supporters did rot venture to shock
the good sense of the American people
by presenting the bill to them in its true
light:
The new American Tariff bill is calcu-
lated to be an average of nearly IS per
cent. on the whole imports. and to WELD
nett revenue of $28, 100000, suppo-
sing the imports to be the same as in 49,
40. The duties received in 1870 were
is. lo3, 100 dollars; so that the new tar
lit is estimated to raise an additional rev.
enue Of 12,896.21O dollars, about equal
to the loan lately authorized but great
doubts are expressed by portions of the
American press, whether the increase of
duties will be attended with any COM
measurable addition to the custom reve-
nues. The scale of duties is highly pro-
tectve. much more so than appears bv
mere reference to the nominal rates. for
it must be kept in view that there is an
absolute increase of the specific rates of
per cent. under restricted currency, and
on prices which are seriously deprecia-
ted. The duties are nearly the same as
in 1928, while the prices of the articles
have fallen in some cases more than so
per cent. The duty in 1928 on pig iron
was the same as it is under the new tariff,
namely, Al per cent. the price at that
time being Gl0 a ton. The price being
now only se9 IS ton, the same duty is
equal to nearly 100 per cent. Its opera
ton on cottons is of similar restrictive
character, owing to the minimum of val
ne. The duty on prints is 9 cents per
gard, and on white ccttons 6 cents per
yard. In 1888 the duty was 40 per cent
but now, owing to the reduced foreign
cost, it will be equal to 100 per cent
Ga white goods the duty in 1885 was AZ
per cent. and will cow be 60 per cent
On other articles, such as wines, spirits,
&c. the duties, which are higher than ev-
er, will operate severely 10 checking

THE STOCKTON GUN.

We learn that the experiments made
at Sandy Hook, last week, with the
"Stockton Gum" were of the most extra
ordinary and successful character. We
should be gratified were we permitted TO
detail the particulars of the results of the
experiments that were made by Captain
Stockton at the abovenamed place.
We lave often heard it stated, that
Captain Stockton would make the vessel
that IS now building at the Navy Yard,
under his direction. invincible. We are
now iuliy satisfied he will do so.
ms magnificent gun, combining, as it
does, the power of Fulton's Torpedo, and
the certainty of execution of the Ken
lucky rltie, will be the woEder of the age.

From the ". Y Esentng Post.

OUR COMMERCIAL PROSPECTS. !
We perceive it stated in the journals
that bills of exchange On London are sell
ling at N. Orleans at rates nominally
from par to one-half per cent. premium,
which is between Ell sht and nine per cent.
below actual par. This result was fore
seen by all experienced merchants when
the new tariff beanie law.
The reason why bills of exchange on
England are sold at such low rates is.
that we are sending to England cargoes
of the productions of this country, for
which we do not take English goods in
return. Cotton is shipped at New Or
leans for the British market, as formerly;
but British woo!lens and other manufac-
lures are no longer shipped 70, N. Orleans
i'll return. The new tariff has put an
end TO the reel procity of trade which late
| ly existed. The cotton is, therefore, to
( be paid for in cash. There are no bills
Of exchange drawn in Great Britain, to
meet the bills which the merchant at n.
Orleans draws upon the country. The
consequence is, that there are more who
have bills of exchange to sell than to buy,
and they fall in value.
| We shah shortly see the same state of
things in this city. Bills of exchange on
London are already considerably below
actual par. they are at nominal pre-
MUM of six and a quarter per cent.
which is more than two per cent, below
actual par. Let it be considered that
we send to Great Britain not only cotton,
potash, and pearl-ash, which have hlther-
to composed our principal exports to that
country; but that, under the new reguIa-
tons of trade adopted by the British Gu
vetnment, We export hams, lard. butter.
beef, pork, cheese, and flour-the latter
principally by way of Canada-and vari-
Gus other articles of produce. These must
also be paid in cash. The consequence
is. that the market is glutted with bills
of exchange on London. The same in
equality If trade which has produced this
effect within few weeks, will continue
to lower the rate of these bills. Persons
acquainted with the course of trade ex-
pect to see them, in a very few months,
quoted in our market at the same rates
as they are now sold at New Orleans
This will lead-as, in such cases. it al
ways does-to the importation of specie
from Great Britain. 1t will become
I cheaper to bring over the specie, than to
allow so great discount, on bills of ex-
change. This effect has already taken
place at N. Orleans. 1t appers from the
New Orleans journals that specie is al
ready coming over from Englad in pay
ment for cotton.
