TERRIBLE EFFECTS OF THE NEW
TARIFF.
We continue TO receive most dis,ressinp ac
counts of the effects produced by The passage Of
'he new Tariff, which does not GO into operation
until next December. The New Haven Courier
thus announces one Of the effects:
he disastrous effects Of the overthrow of The
iariif are beginning 10 be felt in various ma rs of
me county A new hinge factory in Southwark
will not be able to 90 on.''
The Register of the same city in quoting the
above. says II is g. loud call to folks who were
calculating 10 sOing doors" and then goes on to
"pe up the agony" as follows:
I" We understand that an establishment FIR tho
manufacture of busttes, in Hornsby, has been
obliged To curtail-and that tin whistle factory
on Duck rlver,' has blown opt. NIB. A small
boys great Toe was shockngly bitten by mosque
Toes last night. IN consequence Of the fal of cot
'on-sheeting after he had been put to bed RI
naughty Bob Walker could have seen that dear
nile hlg toe, and the tears of the anxious mother
who didn't know twas out, his hard heart wonld
have lelt the necessity of protecting our infant
manufactures"-ihe brute!''
We should like TO add the following from
wing merchant Of eminence in The CITY of New
York, written to member Of Cong ress, as il will
probably help our wing friends here TO push along
the panic:
' am ashamed of the cry that is benp made
about the countrys being ruined this bill passes
IL does not echo the sentiment Ofthe we'll inform
ed OF Inc wing Party, and is made by those who
are now reapng golden harvest, and wish to
prevent home competition well as foreipn-he-
cause they believe IA long as the Tariff of 1912
stands, there Is an uncertainty about the matter
which prevents capitalists from investing in
manufactures; for, as long as the Tariff is where
It is now, we likely to have change. and we
do not know where the change will leave us.''
YUCATAN AND IT'S CONDUCT TO.
WARDS AMERICAN CITIZENS.
The following account of the Yuca,ecos, from
the New Orleans Picayune, does not agree with
the opinions heretofore entertained in this country.
Of the favorable disposition of that country towards
the United States:
gentleman who left Campeachy on the 9Th
inst, informs that il is great error 10 snpross
that The Yucaecos nurtnred any good will to-
wards the citizens of the United States He con-
tends that in no part of Mexico does there exist
IN Yucatan. and that whatever representations TO
the contrary are made to our Government or pub
lie men are prompted by fear or for the purpose of
deception.
He states that while at Campeachy, he met
with eight American citizens who had been ex-
pelle from Tobasco. They were insulted in tho
streets OF Campeachy by the robbers, and were in
continual danger Of an attack. Even in Tubasco
they were more decenily and becominqly treated
than in Yucaian
Our informant relates case within his own
Know ledge of an outrage upon an American citi-
zen IN Laguna. He informs us that a Mr. Dun
can Frazer, citizen Of the United States, was
robbed some time ago Of twenty nine doubloons;
that recently six or eight doubloons and small
quantity OF silver were recovered from the robbers
before Judge Garmandia This money was re-
tanned by the Judge. who, not satisfied with that,
seized on thirty other doublooas which Mr. Frazer
had placed foT safekeepiDg in the hands of one
Don Juan Rpurs. acting American consul in tho
absence of MIR. McFaul. Roura and Frazer were
both thrown in prison. Roura was released upon
giving up the.mnney. Frazer was turned adrift
few days afterwards, in such state of desttu-
ton that he asked TO be sent back, for the very
want of means TO get meal elsewhere Mr.. Nc
FauI, U. S. consul at Eaguna we are told. OBJ
tanned leave OF absence for three months. and
leil RouTa as consul pro fem. He has been absent
already about seven months and our IpfDrmant
thinks Ronra and the Judge were in collusion
touching Frazer's money, and that they divided
the spolls between them Roura's going to Jail
Tor lew honrs being merely TO cover his rascality
The same gentleman informs us that there is
not an American consulate from Tobasco To the
balIze Honduras. filed by citizen of the United
States. Natives of Yucaian in every instance fill
Inc Office, and that the United States hsu has no
respect paid it whatever. That on The 4th of JuIy
last, when the consul was requested to raise The
American flag, the Yucatecos did moi know il was
day consecrated by the Declaration of Indepen-
dence; and he merely stuck the flag out ON the
corner Of his piazza, where it dragged the ground
to the qualification and glee of the lazzar 'front.' He
states that the British consul raised the English
flag IN compliment to The United States. though
the day is not one Of happy memory to his nation.
In this condition Of affairs The American citizens
are SUBJECT TO all manner Of exsciions and imposi-
IONS as the officers Of their own government are
"' hostile people and generally in colluson with
me authorities, whose prejodices and interests
lead Them to acts Of insult and rapine
IN mons Of the Yucaian ports did our infnrmant
see The five star flag which in this COUNTRY is spo
Ken OF as The ensign Of Yucatan confederscy -
The Mexican flag was flying in every mort and
trotn every fortified town. Our informant was at
Merida, and there The Mexican FLAG was unfnrled
over public places There was no such fac "a
