The act recently passed. ia 10 tax all articles IN pro-

was for the purpose Of giving il the broadcast appli-

nue., that Mckay's bill of 1874 abandoned specific
duties, excepting in very limited number OF cases.
That the great body Of the community will be
gamers by the substitution ofhe act recently passed
for the act Of l642 cannot be doubted; especially
the agricultural and laborng classes. The rates OF
duty fixed by the last-namcd act were, in many in
stances, enormously high, and in respect to articles
Of necessity, which, according To every just pnnci-
pie, should be lightly burdened. We subjoin com
parison of the two acts in respect TO some leading
articles of consumption, for the purpose of showing
TO what an extent these rates have been reduced.
The rates fixed by the act Of 1912 are calculated
from actual importations, and obtained from la

Kay's bill Of 1874.

FARM AT AUCTION

W
On Monday, the 18th instant, at O'Clock
P. m, shall sell at public auction, at the auction
store of r. w. Dyer, in the city of Washington,
the farm of FOG acres, owned and occupied by Basil
Loyeless at his death. Ii lies just within the north
western limit Of the District of Columbia, about
FIVE miles from the city, the turnpike, which
branches half mile beyond the farm into the roads
leading to Rockville, Brookville, and Coesyille,
Maryland One hundred and twenty acres are in
wood, great portion Of it oak and chestnut fit for
fencing. There are several fine springs and rich
bottom Of forty adapted to meadow, with
good mill seat on Rock creek. The rest is on the
elevated plain, which divides the waters of Rock
creek and the waters Of the Eastern branch of the
Potomac. A height, not far from the road, eligible
as a building site, commands fine view of the sur
rounding country. The Sugar-oaf mountain in
Maryland some thirty miles distant is distinctly
visible. The homestead on the road was used as a
tavern, and proved profitable. Tho soil is well
adapted to clover, is kind, and easily improved.
The place Is recommended to purchasers by its
high and healthy situation, its neighborhood to
of the best markets in the Union, and its immunity
from taxation, the taxes within the Distre, and out
OF the city being little more than nominal. The
title is believed to be indisputable.
The terms of sale are One-ffth of the purchase
money IN cash; the balance in equal payments, at
one, two, and three years, for notes with approved
security, bearing interest. .. ...
