with its accompanying Documents is a hard blow
to our Free Traders. They had hoped to show
from it that the New Tariff is destroying the Rev
it proves exactly the reverse. The Revenue from
Customs this year is considerably larger than last,
it should be, yet still below the pressing wants
of the Government, and such as to render it NOR
ally certain that Protective Tariff will neither
leave the Treasury bankrupt on the ohe hand nor
will it overflow it on the other. The Tariff as ad-
justed at the last Session. is Just about adequate
to the annual wants of the Government economi-
cally administered; but Public Debt of some
Twenty Millions having been incurred under the
comparative Free Trade of the last FIVE years, it
will be found necessary to lay additional duties on
Tea, Coffee, &C., for few years in order to pay
of this National indebtedness. But for this, the
Tariff would be just about right as it is the Ex-
pcnditures of the Government admitting of some
farther reduction.
Then to our Commerce-tbe gross amount
of our Exports for the year closng exceeds
that of our Imports only by some Five or Six Mil
lions; which, in 1913, when the increased Rates
of Duty will have effect through the whole year,
will probably be increased to Ten or Fifteen Mil
lions. Now do not expect desire uniform
preponderancc in value Of our Exports over our
Imports bst for the present. while we owe
heavy debt to Europe, and our Circulating Medium
is so scanty and unstable this is manfestly as it
should be. When our Foreign indebtedness shall
have been adjusted, and our Currency reinforced
by due infusion Of the precious metals, then will
our Circulating Medium gradually increase, and
the prices of our commodities appreciate in value
until proper equilibrium between Exports and
Imports will result.
The above tables of Imports and Exports show
an apparently large diminution in the amount of
our Foreign Trade in 1642 as compared with that
of the preceding year. but it must be remembered
that these statistics regard money prices only and
that there has been great and general reduction
in the money value of prodrcts since 164l. Prob
ably the actual amount and real vaue of the I'm
ports of 1912 were not ten per cent. below those
of 1941, while our Exports were still nearer
equality with those of the former year.
QJ The reasons OF Gov. SEWARD for disrnssng
David Moulton from the office of Sheriff of Oneida
Co. are published in the Albany Journal. 1t
seems that Mouton went to Washington to de-
mand of the President, by the authority of the
Governor, criminal then in the District of Co.
Iurnbia; that while there, he agreed with the man
not to arrest him. and to the discontinuance
of the suit by the prosecutor; that he received for
this $3.50, of which $50 to be retaiRed for pay
ment of his own expenses, and the rest to be given
to the prosecutors and that on his return, he de-
manded and received payment from the State
Treasury of his expenses for duties which ne had
not only not performed, but bargained, for Pc
cuniary consideration, not to perform. These rea-
sons the Governor thinks abusdantly sufficient to
justify his dismissal.
