THE TARIFF.

Every day brings further assurance that the
present tarifflaw cannot much longer disgrace
our Statute book. Not only imposing heavy
burden on the consumer, BY oblging him to pay
higher price for his articles Of prime necessity
but this oppressive measure imposes heavier
burden still upon the agricultural and planting
lnterests-indirectly- narrowing the foreign
MARKET and by decreasing the value Of land and
negroes; and directly reducing the value of

Correspondent Of the Journal Of Commerce.
CANTON, June 2.
On Sunday, the 25th May, there was most
distressing fire in this city within the walls. la
small open square, a mat. house had been
erected for theatrical entertainment, and some
1000 or 5000 persons had assembled 10 witness
the performances. Suddenly, in the midst of
the play, a fire broke out Immediately under the
seats occupied by the women.
VI course there was rush for the streets, hut
there were but two narrow ,doorways out. One
of these was soon closed by the falling of a part
OF the building, so that it was almost impossible
TO escape
The bodies Of about l4OO have been found
who deid from suifocaton or the flames or from
being trampled upon in the crowd. Many were
awfolly burnt who still live.
Whether the fire originated in design or by
accident, is not known; but, as is always the
case at such places, there were many robbers
present, who immediately began to wrench off
bracelets, anklets, ear rings and ornaments of
all kinds, which the Chinese wear in profusion.
1t is said that two more outlets for the crowd
might have been made, but in one instance il
would have been necessary to pass through a |
barber's store, and this he denied lest his few
cash should be stolen. The other passage
would have been through Mandarih's house,
and this his servants would not permit because
their master was absent.
The fire communicated to about 80 other
houses, which were destroyed.
1t is said that nearly 20 years ago fire &C.
