TARIFF AND DISTRIBUTION

Affairs IN Washington are assuming an as
peel which should alarm the whole country. A
tariff bill will pass both Houses, as it has Already
nearly passed through the Rouse of Representa-
lives, which will be more or less satisfactory Ia
the friends Of protection. But the bill now on
Its passage proposes to repeal that proviso of The
distribution bill, which brings back the avails Of
tie ruhic lands into the common funds, in case
the duties rise above 90 per cent, and without
which no efficient tariff can be- devised But if
members mean what they say, protection and
distribution must go together. Many of the
Western members will not vote dollar for rev
enue, unless they can have the Land revenue for
the states. Distribution or no protection is the
rallying cry with them. The sam. feeling on
this subject pervades both H"uses. Many wings
who would postpone or relinquish the distribu-
tim bill, are thus forced to 90 for both
But after all this sort OF wraneling about dis
tributinn no tariff, or tariffand no distribution,
tariff of some kind must be passed, or the Gov
eminent cannot be supported. The proceeds of
the public lands already belong 10 the States.
Congress has nothing more 10 do abnut them:
but must provide revenue, and when this is
done, we shall see whether The politicians at
Washington will dare to sacrifice he country.
II would be quite as well. TO use the language of
another, that the District Of Columbia and all
its tenants should be swallowed sp by an Garth
quake as that the whole nation should much
longer be deprived Of the benefits OF protective
