IL Is somewhat annoying to the readers Of the

desirable.
We arc all on the tp-toe Of expectation to hear d.

true, as stated on good authority that Gen. Taylor
has received no direct orders from the War Depart

A RARE DEVICE.

The tariff of 1912 was repealed because il was
declared to be progressively high, and now we find
the Treasury Department engaged in effort to
prove that the recent act Of Congress is more pro-
tecfiUe than the odous black tariff I" itself. 1t is
true it requires some ingenious twisting Of facts to
make out such result, yet to accomplish it rates
are assumed which every business mans experience
will contradict.
We think it likely the seamstresses Of the cities,
who now get but ninepence for making shirt, will
soon understand the difference to their branch. The
Wing tariff imposes so per cent, the Locofoco but
thirty on ready-made clothing On hats and bon
nets large numbers Of which are manufactured in
this country the duty is reduced from 80 to 80 per
cent. Brandy was 81 per gallon, equal to I34 FER
cent. it is now to be but 100 Other spirits were
taxed as high as ga per cent; they are now put
at 200. Here are proofs Of regard for the poor.
Special regard for the farmer, about whose inter-
est we heard so much during the canvass of 1874,
is evinced in the fact that under the Wing tariff, the
duty on wheat 25 cents per bushel, equal to
27d per cent By the new tariff the rate is 20 per
cent Wheat flour reduced from 32s to 20 per
cent Farmers, is this the sort Of protection now
expected from your Democratic friends (!
