Perpetual Wotion.-An ingenious
Yankee is exhibiting machine in BuiTa-
10, which purpor's 10 be perpetual mo-
ton. The Buffalo papers speak of the
machine, but do not describe it, nor in.
form wha, principle in mechanics is ap.
piled to create the motion. The Adver-
User SAYS, "if it is not perpetual motion,
then our knowledge of mechanics and
the power of gravlalion, is sadly a, fault.
After the moss careful inspection of it,
we failed to discover any reason why i,
should not continue in motion till the
machine wore out"

ed that the arrangement of the tariff is not OF such
vital importance and as other branches of industry
become established their opposition TO more liberal
construction to this act will be Withdrawn, and gra-
dual reduction of the tariff will be quietly submitted
TO- We see by the annual returns from the Treasury
| Department, that under the present act the average
per cent duty upon imports becoming less and less
! every year According 10 this, a few years will SUI
| flee to reduce the average duty TO revenue point
The party in favor Of revenue standard OF the tar
if is not disposed await this gradual reduction
An immediate modification OF the act Of 1912, and
an uncompromsing opposition TO everything above
strict revenue point, the principles of that party
which we have designated as the conservative party
upon this question.
The principles we advocate in relation to the tar
if are derived from the two great parties: A reve
tariff with incidental discrimination for protec
ton, consider better suited to the present posi-
ton of this country and of our commercial affairs,
than any other. We take medium course between
the high tariff party and the revenue standard party.
The first is behind the age and the latter rather
liberal for the times. We yet too young to adopt
a system more liberal than the Oldest commercial
nations in the world have yet venured 10. We
must come down gradually from high to lew Ia
riff. There have been 100 many experiments tried
in this country already, and it is time we should
legislate more carefully than we have heretofore.
The tone ofthe Cabinet upon this question is con-
sidered of some Importance, division upon the
subject is confidently looked for. The Secretary of
the Treasury, and the Secretary of the Navy, do
not hesitate moment TO proclaim their princi-
PIES but the other Secretaries do not disposed
to commit themselves in advance. Three Secreta-
ries of the four composing the Cabinet, come from
high tariff States, and il is of the most vital impor-
lance to them that they should not be called upon
to take any position in the matter, although the Sc
cretary Of the Navy leans to the stronger influence
in the Cabinet. We have no doubt but that this
question will lead TO dissolution of the Cabinet or
to one or two designations before the meeting of
Congress. Symptoms Of internal difficulties have
already made their appearance. and when the ex-
posion comes, will be that the Oregon ques-
zion had very little TO do with it.
