a serious rupture and 20 prevent extremiuos, uie
compromise scheme of 1888 was agreed upon ny
Mr.. Clay and others; and it was TO go on IN de-
scending scale, reducing duties until io4z, wheh
the tariff taxes were TO come down TO ~ per cent
This compromise was made by tho friends OF

was Abandoned And MIR. Clay said, lspeaking
for many whig manufacturers,) thai In lo42, uey

unequal tariff of 1912; yet, contrary 70 their I'm,

But the hard tariff OF 1912 was considered as snort

practicable. The last Congress began THIS reform,
and in few months the new tariff VIII go into ope-
ration. II is based the palus OF properly whleh

into the tax laws Of this State soon after they go'
the power and this basis Of value continues 10 TINS
day by the consent Of all parties. The new tariff
is formed on the ad yalorem principle throughout,
and the greater part Of the duties under the tarn OF
1912, are collected on the same basis. mus some

the tariff Of 1886 for cousisteney's sake. Where
then is the occasion for alarm for panics, and for

From the foregoing, these conclusions result LIST,
that high tariffs have been short-liyed and full Of
evils I'd, that the unequal tariff Of 1912 was OPP
posed by Mr.. Clays peculiar friends; but passed
mainly by craving manufacturing wings yet aided
by some democrats who would not see their coun-
try dishonored. Sd, the tariff Of 1916 is improve
ment Of that Of l642, and viii be more lasting, be-
cause 1t il more judicous, and il gives more protec-
ton to American industry, because its influence
will be wide. 4th, the tariff Of 1876 will aid labor
and capital, help the industrial interests and benefit
the employed and employers. And, lastly, the
claim that high tariff taxes lower prices 10 consum-
will be true, when heavy loads are more easily car
ried than igh ones-and not before.

From the New Haven Register,
RATHER TOO FAST.

There are some political hot-heads who make
more haste than good speed; and their cause rests
much less on liked principles and practical results
than on panic and ruin making. These persons act
as # not only the well-being but the very salvation
of the country depended on the point whether the
tariff tax Is few per cent higher or lower on GER
tain articles OF trade. In this they are as much at
fault as in their general politics. They forget that
our government Is better, and our country more
prosperous, than any other, from causes other than
the fact OF little higher lower tariff They for
get that the tariff Of lS42 Is still in operation and
will be until next December, and that whatever
troubles and embarrassments in business there have
been and are, 50 far as affected by tariff influence
are chargeable on the present tariff. Yes il should
be remembered that during the tariff of 1912 some
ay, many, enterprlsing and worthy manufacturers
and traders IN various branches have not only suf
fered but been totally ruined under the operation Of
the existing tariff. So it always has been and so il
always will be, and the higher and more restrictive
the tariffs have been the numerous have failures
been eventually, and the more extensive have been
embarrarsmens among operators, particularly those
OF moderate means. Ii is hoped and believed that
some of the difficulties which have been felt under
the influence of the tariff of 1912, will be rene
died by the more equitable and judcious proyi-
SONS OF the tariff law passed by the late Congress
which will take effect after December, and which
will require at least one year to give it fair trial
Unless, then, the panic makers take more heed to
their ways, and are more sparing in their attempts
to DO all the mischief they can, they will only
be "rather too FAST" but they will be laughed at
as those have been who have needessly exhibited
political scarecrows," and blunderingly "waked
up the wrong passengers"

MISCELLANEOUS.
A ROMANTIC INCIDENT.

The Paris correspondent Of The New York Cour-
rier des Etas Unis, in describing a recent Jeh in
Paris, tells the following story; n..
AT one OF the last soirees given by the minister
Of foreign affairs the concourse was very great OF
ladies of the diplomatic corps, when lbrahim Pacha
was announced. His Egyptian highness passed
smiling along the front Of the charming line, when
having reached the extremity Of the circle, where
stood Madame X. the face Of the prince became
suddenly flushed, and he immediately passed on,
with difficulty coneeang the traces Of lively emo
ton. IL was still more difficult for the lady 70 hide
her confusion. We happen to have II IN our pow
er TO give the true motive Of this embarrassment,
the disclosure Of which in no wise, al the pres
ent time, be injurious TO any one.
"Some time before the battle Of HONS, which
preceded that Of Konieh, and during the negotia-
lions which were carried on between Mehemet Ali
and Hussien Pacha for definite arrangement, the
Sultan Mahomed in order To hasten things 10 a
favorable conclusion, conceived a mysterious pro-
jeet, of which lbrahim was to be the victim. In the
Sultan's harem young girl OF Greek origin, of
illusrious BIRTH aud Of rare beauty affecting great
zeal for her interest," the Sultan told her that he had
resolved 10 present her to lbrahim Paeha who was
then in Syria; he drew brilliant picture Of the hap
piness and glory that awaited her there if she could
secure his heart. To succeed infalibly in this,
said he, here is an irresistible talisman,' and he
slipped ring upon her finger. Ii ID known that in
Turkey people give ready credence to the virtue OF
tallsmsns in awakening the heart and giving birth to
love. Profit by favorable moment added he,
and when lbrahm is asleep, dip this ring in the
beverage which you will give him to drink on
awakening, and his heart and his hand will be for
ever secured to your

Aleppo, that, with numerous suite Of slaves load

joining him. But this extraordinary liberality I'M
der existing circumstances awakened his suspicious,
and he would not keep up the young girl, but sent
her to Sidiaga, the governor of Alexandria Always
credulous, and con6ding in the virtue of her tails

A MAGNIFICENT PROPHECY.

s Persons familiar with astronomical matters are
aware that the eccentric and apparently capri
cous motion of the planet Uranus or Hersche as it
is popularity called in this country has seemed to be
an exception to the laws governing the planetary
system, and has almost broken the hearts of the
astronomers to account for. Ii was evident enough
there was a disturbing force somewhere that pro-
duced these unaccountabe vagaries but to decide
where or what 1t was, was the erperin,entum crucs
The theory, or rather the conjecture family hazard
ed, that the cause might be looked for in the inu-
ence of Jupiter Saturn was promptly shown to
be untenabe, and most astronomers have for some
time given up the matter in despair utterly in
explicabe. ...
member of the French Academy of Sciences
(Leverrer) was not disposed to give it up. The
heavenly system, he reasoned, is perfect. For
every movement there must be a cause All the
parts must be in harmony with the grand whole
and the motions of Uranus however eccentric they
may appear, must be in harmony with the general
law. Pursuing this train, he arrived at certain con-
illusions, which, on the Both Of June, he unfolded
at meeting Of the academy. His theory, as stated
by the Paris correspondent the Courier des Etats
Uns, is nothing less than that the motions referred
to are caused by another great planet the existence
of which has hitherto bean unknown or unsus-
pected. There exists, says the Boston Daily Ad-
vertser, which furnishes abstract of the state
ment In the French paper, in celestial space a
planet that one has seen, and Of which M. Lee
having actually seen it himself; il is in the depths
ofhis cabinet, and without opening his window, in
combining figures and formula, M. Leverrer has
not only discovered the planet in question, but has
calculated the orbit and measured the size of it, #
is for astronomers by profession to verify the cor
RICHNESS Of these calculations. The mass Of readers
will perhaps wait the test Of the planets. M. Le-
werner Is not afraid of actual appearance before Civ
ing full faith to the calculations of his trial. He
points to observers the region of the heavens to-
wards which they must direct their telescopes, and
the precise moment when the star he announces will
be seen to pass, This is to be the first Of January,
lS47. = -
Certainly, never discovery presented in the same
degree the characters of boldness and originality az
well as importance in its results. If the prediction
Of M Leverrier is fulfilled il win be great triumph
for mathematical analysis, and for the person who
has given so new and so important an example Of
II. As in all things of the kind, il is by proceeding
from the known to the unknown that these discovs-
ries are made
II the prediction Of NJ. Leverrier should be veri-
fed what magnificent idea il will give of the uni
verse, and ofthe almost godlike power OF the human
intellect And if it should turn out true how will it
agree with Kepler's law

IMPORTANT TARIFF FACTS.

Certain important facts connected with all sub
jects should be generally known before the public
mind forms right conclusions, and when these facts
are well understood, the subject continues rightly
settled until some malign influence is exerted in a
wrong direction, and then false conclusions are
formed. These remarks apply with peculiar force
TO the tariff subject; which some have used as a
stalking horse to ride into power It is about time
that this humbuggery was exposed, and its authors
