TARIFF POLICY OF 1870.

We publish the following communication with
much pleasure, and we trust that the writer will, as
he promises, soon favor US again. We have only a
single remark to make upon the passage cited by
the writer from extracts from the work Of Mr..
Macgregor In saying that the tariff of 1883, "as
Grspenus tariff was based upon utter disregard
Of fixed principles" Mr.. Msegregor probably re-
ferred to the fact thus stated by him in the
tract as quoted by us: "The pyeanbiss Of the two
first revenue bills (of 1889 and 1900 declared that
they were imposed for protection and for revenue"
This discrepancy between the preamble and the
statute Itself probably seemed TO Mr.. Maegregor to
argue an absence of "fxsd principles" in framing
the bill Yet the criticism Of our intelligent cores
pondent il correct. What contrast between the
rates Of duty then and nOp under the sbominable
tariff Of l942
OUR EARLY COMMERCIAL POLICY.
In an extract from Mr.. Macgregor's statistical
volume published in the Union of the 18th, The fol-
lowing passage occurs
ain 1883 a tariff Of duties on foreign goods was
imposed, upon the principle Of creating maintaining,
and protecting domestic manufactures.
"As revenue tariff, this tariff was based on an
utter disregard Of fixed principles. 1t may be said
to have been continued in I'LL 1916"
What the tariff Of 1883, which is here denounced
IN wholesale terms, was, IN some Of its provisions,
may be Judged Of from the following statement Of
goods, wares, and merchandise subject TO ad valo-
duties imported into the United States from the
LIST Of October, 1885, to the LIST Of September, 1890"

More than four-ffths OF the whole amount paid
duty ofony Is per cent; less than one sixth, duty
Of I. per cent. while those that paid duty Of 22l
per cent, the highest duty then levied, constituted
but little more than one-hundredth part Of the
whole.
Let justice be done to the fathers Of the republic
Whatever Mr.. Macgregor may say to the contrary,
they were liberal in their principles Of commercial
policy. They had to provide for the payment Of the
principal and interest of the revolutionary debt, for
the expenses of the wars with Algers, Tripol, and
the Indian tribes, for the purchase of Louisiana,
and for the ordinary expenses Of government For
the means, they had TO depend almost exclusively
on the customs; yet we find that when the duties on
goods subject to ad valorem rates were the highest,
four.ffhs of the whole amount paid only Is per
cent.
In another communication, | propose to give
other proofs of the liberal principles of commercial
policy of the sages and heroes Of the revolution, and
their immediate successors. For the present let
this suffice. A. b. G.

OUR EARLY COMMERCIAL POLICY.

Here it will be seen that, OF the goods imported in
1890, subject to ad yalorom duties; seven-eighths Of
the whole amount paid duty Of only five pei
cent, less than one-sxteenth duty of per cent
and only litte than the twenty fifth part paid
as high duty as ten per cent
Among the articles which paid duty Of five per
cent. were all manufactures Of wool; cotton and silk
goods duty Oft per cent. Only china and glass.
paid - per cent. And only coaches and char.
OTIS so high duty az Is per cent.
These duties were subsequently increased TO
meet the necessities of government. The revenue
principle kept steadily in view, with discrmi-
nations, indeed, which were supposed to foster
tain branches Of industry, but carried to such
extent as to produce reclamations from those en-
gagged in other pursuits.

We compile from the New Orleans Delta and
Pesyune Of the 18th instant the following items Of
later intelligence from Texas and the seat Of war;
TEXAS.
The schooner Fairy, Captain Thompson, arrived
Yesterday from Galveston, which port she left on
he 4th instant, bringing US a few days later Jews
man was previously received.
Inc Galveston Weekly News of the 9th ult
states ha' inc report IN regard 10 the taking Of the
train OF one hundred wagons and effects belonging
70 uermah enigrants, who were on their way from
New Braunsfels TO Perdnales, by a party of In
dams, Is entirely unfounded, letters having been re-
eeived rom Houston, stating that the whole party
had arrived in safety al Perdinales. They were
culhvang the beautiful lands they found there and
had not even seen an Indian.
The above news is no doubt correct. Il is con-
hrmed IN the Galveston News Of the 18th ut The
name OF the new town recently started by the emf
grants on the Perdinales, is called fredericksburg
The settlement Is rapidly progressing, and they APP
pear TO be highly delighted with the great fertility
OF the soil. The Houston Advocate Of the '2lst
uh states that four or FIVE discharged soldiers
rom the army, on their way home, when about
seyenty-hve miles from San Antonio were surprised
6y party Of Indians, and stripped Of every rag Of
clothing but their lives were fortunately saved by
some American wagoners.
We learn from Captain Thompson that on his
passage from this port te Galveston about 3lst ul
between the Southwest Pass and Ship island shoals,
he saw large schooner, eopper-bottomed, carry
ing heavy press Of canvass. She at frat appeared
to be making for Vermllion bay, but soon bore d.
reety for the Fairy, hosting the American ensign,
which was answered. A heavy gale was blowing
at the time, and the stranger could not carry full
sail. She continued In pursuit several hours The
Fairy, carrying every rag Of canvass gained on her
pursuer, and finally lost sight of her The captain
supposed she was either piratieal craft or Mexican
cruiser-and 80 thinks the editor Of the Galveston
News. The most likely supposition is that she
was some United States vessel OF war, bound for the
Rio Grande.
Commander Randolph, Of the United States
navy, was In Galveston on the Cd, awaiting, says
the News, the arrival of Mr.. Rhodes, the United
States naval constructor for the purpose of examn
ing the condition Of the Texan naval vessels consist
ing Of the sloop-ofwar Austin, 20 guns briggs Archer
and Wharton, IL guns each; and schooner San Ber-
nard, guns. The Wharton is aground
The regiment Of mounted rangers required by the
government, 1t is thought, has been filed, and is
en- route for the seat of war.
