COMPROMISE OF THE TARIFF.


We took occasion, last week, to speak in depreca-
ton Of the intelligence, conveyed in some slight
surmses which had reached US, the effect that Mr..
Webster was about to introduce, by way of.compro-
mise, substitute for the wretched nonGescnpt tar
iff bill now before the Senate. We placed, at the
tme very little reliance in the truth of these rumors,
yet we conceived the fact to be of so great mpor-
lance that the suspicion should awaken atten-
ZION. We regret to say that later news confirms
suspicious. The New York Express, in letter
from Washington Correspondent, under date of Ju-
ly 21st says:
"There is an earnest effort making to compromise
the Tariff question here Mr.. Webster and the
ufacturers taking part in it. The plan is to reduce
all the duties above 80 per cent. In the Tariff OF 1912
80 per retaining the specifics wherever they
existin the law of 1912. This is the main feature
of the proposed compromise"
Upon this the Tribune makes many very just and
truly sfrank observations We have only room tor

awe again beseech the friends of protection In
Congress, to remember that they act not for to-day
or for two years years only-not for those who may
press upon them at their lodgings, or in the lobbes
and who look no further than the realizing of good
dividends on their capital now invested in manufac-
turers. We the friends of this class, far as is
compatible with good will to all men we deem them
mertorious and rejoice to their enterprise and eff
forts well rewarded. But it would be unreasonable
to expect from them the broadcast, most comprehen-
sive views of public affairs. In their sphere they
are generally shrewd practical men but they not
incapable of asking for that which shall ultimately in
jure themselves by injurng the whole Country. Let
them be duly needed but let the millions who
not afford to 60 to Washington, having to their
bread by their daily labor be also regarded Of these
we feel sure the general sentiment emphaticaly is,

People with us, this will give them heart and
ergy for the struggle which after all is inevitable if
against us scorn to take any thing at the mercy
of our adversaries. Stand fast by our convictions
and our cause, and let the millions with whom Home
interests, and Home industry are words o. power,
have fair opportunity to triumph principles,

MURDER OF Mrs. SpENcER.-As several of our CO.
temporares have, with little regard to candor and
less the feelings of the friends and relatives of this
unfortunate lady, INDUCED in very ILL timed and
founded reflections upon her character, We insert,
entire the particulars of her foul murder from the
Sentinel published at Jersey city. 1t is certainly
new way of securing justice to appeal to the faults
of the victim, even if they actually existed as an ex-
cuse for the criminal. Inconsiderate expressions of
the PRESS are of great Importance, in forming public
opinion, and should be carefully guarded against.
