Tariff Movement I'm rcial
systema.


II viii be seen, on reference 10 our Compression
al proceedings, that the House of Representative
has taken up the tariff; and we have no doubt
before they are through with il, there will be ma
nv important alterations made
This is the commencement OF the contemplated
changes in our commercial systems, and we hope
all those proposed will be perfected and carried
through. We trust the Warehousing bill will not
be lost sight OF amidst the excitement attending
the progress Of the tariff alterations as that must
be very important feature in any new CONNER
cial system may adopt With comprehen-
sive warehousng system, any defects that might
exist in any tariff BILL could not operate too
directly upon Our foreign trade, and there would
be greater uniformity in our importations, more
more simplicity in custom house business general
w. less delay in getting merchandise entered and
cleared, and in fact, more economical admin
stration OF the customs department of the govern
ment than has heretofore been possible to perfect.
We shall be able in few days to tell what will
probably be the complexion ofthe new tariff bill.
It is pretty generally admitted, by the opponents
Of the present act that it cannot be reduced that
The existing average of duty must, if possible
IN part, at all hazards and sacrifice of party prn
ciples, be sustained. The present rate Of duty,
ordinary and extraordinary expenditures of the
government, unless it is more judciously levied
under the new act than under that of 1872 There
must be duty laid upon staple articles of import
and not so much upon such articles, the importa-
ton ofwhich is regulated by the duty more than
by the demand. When revenue is the principal
object, those articles regularly consumed by the
people at large, and the importation of which
is from year to year uniform, must bear the burden
of a duty high enough to relieve many articles
from duty high enough to shut them out almost
entirely.
We refer particularly to the establishment of a
duty upon tea and coffee, and would suggest that
duty of at least twenty-five per cent be placed
upon these articles.
1t appears by advices from Washington,
that the West are opposed to laying duty upon
either tea, coffee or salt The Secretary Of the
Treasury has submitted new report upon the
finances of the government, and of the tariff, to
the Senate. The difficulties with Mexico and
the increased expenses of the government, APP
pear TO have upset all his former plans, and he
has been compcledto change his system entirely.
II is our opinion that all the financial genius of
Mr.. Secretary Walker will be brought into action
i'll providing for the deficiency of fifteen millions
of dollars. 1t is suggested by the Secretary, that
a law be passed, authorisng an issue of treasury
notes, instead of resorting to direct loan.
The business of the administration has Just
commenced We have been getting into debt,
and now comes the difficulty We must get out
of it the best way can.

The first is peculiarly rich in its illusions to the
pompous dispatches of the Mexican general, who
was determined to eat up General Taylor and his
army, if he had had an opportunity. The oppor-
tunity, however, was not offered, but on the con-
trary, the tables were turned, and the lckers be-
came lickees. The laundering manifestoes and
pronunciamentos Of the Mexicans resemble, very
much, the special edicts OF the Brother OF the Sun
and Uncle of the Moon, in China. Indeed, the
Chinese are the Mexicans of the eastern hemis-
phere, while the Mexicans are the Chinese Of tho
western hemisphere, but to both the "outside
Barbairans" are superior.

shortly afterwards, it announced that Whepley
