the ship Forest King. Capt Winter placed the mat.
ter in the hands OF the indefatigabe officer MoClosy

The last year in this table is the only year of the
tariff and it will, no doubt be taken by the
friends of that measure fair illustration of the
practical operations of that act. In making up this
table we have given the last two years of the
promise tariff the whole four years of the tariff of
1912, and the first year of the present tariff.
The compromise act extended from 1882 to 1912,
part Of both inclusive and the duty at the close
for the last years of that act ruled very lowlower
than under the present revenue tariff SO far the
returns of imports and exports for those years it
appears that the operation of that act not very
favorable to the of the country but these
returns should not be taken correct criterion of
the effect of the tariff upon this trade 1t is well
known that 1884 TO 1872 the banking system of
the country very much inaated-that prices for
every article of foreign manufacture and every article
of domestic produce were very high, which stimulated
imports and checked exports and thus the balance
each year largely against us. In 1872 change
was made in the tariff and the average rate of duty
was raised from twenty to thrty-fvc per cent. At
that time the banking systems of nearly every State
in the Union had exploded, and the currency had
become valuable that prices for foreign and do
mestic merchandise ruled in markets very low.
This state of things stimulated exports and checked
imports, and the result was, that, in 1S43 and 1884,
the balance was largely in our favor. In 1915 and
1s46the last two years of the high tarthe balance
was against us, which account for by the ex-
pansion which had, in the meantime, taken place in
the banking movements of the country. At the close
of 1916 the present tariff went into operation, and,
almost simultaneous with that commenced extensive
shipments Of breadstufs to Europe, an advance in
prices the other side, and unprecedented in
crease in the value of exports The imports
during the year 1s47 unusually large approach
ing very the great speculative years before the
great bank explosion but the exports more than
kept pace, and left handsome balance in our favor
at the close. The imports and exports of the past
year increased very much by the deficiency in
the harvests of Europe. The demand in Europe for
breadstufs created demand in this country for
foreign manufactures, and the result was conside-
rable expansion in our foreign trade.

WASHINGTON, July 8, 1913.

Neither the Senate nor the House has as vet
acted on the various memorials before them, pray
ing for the repeal of the Pilot law of 1897. Mr..
Dix has charge of this matter, on the part of the
pilots, and although he has made a speech, setting
forth their grievances, yet all further effort seems
suspended He must not suppose that he has yet
done all his duty in this matter Will he, for his
own sake if not for that of his constituents, urge
the passage of this measure ofrepeal! The end of
the session approaches, and there is every reason
to fear that it will be postponed until all action is
hopeless, or until there shall be no prospect Of it's
passage through the other House, even if il -Yoes-
the Senate. Mr.. Dix may feel assured that If
such be the case, he shall not go blameless. When
the most shameless measures, such as the Calitor-
MIA bill, are pushed through the Senate, and that
with Mr.. Dix's cooperation, It is reasonable to
expect that he will at least make some small ex-
ertion to forward the success OF a measure which
he himself says is so just and so necessary, and
which has been so long delayed These men have
waited with most exemplary patience. Their cap
tain has remained here several sessions of Con-
gress, for the purpose of giving such explanations
and statements were necessary, to put the of
himself and his brother pilots in clear light before
to the detriment of the pilot service, which must
suffer in his absence. 1t cannot be denied that
the claims OF these men are just and fair, and the
only objection raised is the miserable plea that
party Is arrayed against them in consequence and
the other party being lukewarm in the matter,
they are allowed, year after year, vainly to petit
ton for redress. Mr.. Dickinson, the representa-
tive of the hunkers the floor of the Senate, takes
no interest in their case, because il was first adj
vocaed by Slas Wright-at least that IS the only
ostensible reason for his shameful neglect of the
interests of these men, his constituents Party
has naught to do with this matter; but If the pilots
are prosecuted because they rave mostly voted
with the democrats, certainly that party is bound
in honor to protect them and labor to restore them
to the rights Of which they have been dispossessed
by a most unjust act of Congress, obtained upon
the most mendacious and fraudulent representations.
1t is not the New York pilots alone who are in
terested in this matter. Eight states have already
pettioned for the repeal of this law. viz: New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, South
Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas The
petition of the Savannah pilots, sent through Mr..
L. B. King, has been as nearly as possible Burk
ed "by that gentleman Party feeling should not
be permitted to control representative of the peo
pie Il, such cases. GALvrEHsIs

MONEY MARKET.

Monday, July IO-G. p. M.
Stocks are all down to-day. The transactions were to
very limited extent, and nearly every fancy in the
list fell off fraction. At the first board Harlem de-
clined q per cent, Canton q, Farmers Loan Il, Long
Island q, Norwich and Worcester x, Morris Canal Is,
Erie Railroad a. Reading Bonds ~ Treasury Notes
advanced "a Utica and Schenectady Railroad 4, and
Reading Railroad "a.
There has been moderate demand to-day, for ster-
ling exchange remittance by this packet and there
IL good supply of bills upon the market We quote
prime bills on London at 94 OK per cent premium;
ON Paris, 5f22x $40; Amsterdam 40 4Od; Ham,
burg, s5h Sc; Bremen, 7916 so.
The oney market is gradually getting easier Loans
on call easily be made at per cent, and as
soon as good business paper becomes more abundant
the banks will probably discount more freely. The
commercial classes have withdrawn themselves so
much from the banks that the demand for money has
become very much reduced. Credits have been much
impaired by the reyusion which has swept over the
commercial world that it will be long time before they
are restored to their original standard, and until that
event is realized, confidence in mercantile operations
cannot reach proper points to give much activity to
our markets.
Govern securities of all kinds, steadily i'm
proving in prices; and now that the is closed and
NO more loans to be made, we have doubt prices
ruling previous to the commencement of hostilties
will again be realized. As for the fancies more
depends upon movements in Wall street than any
thing else.
There is small demand for specie for Havre The
packet ship Bavaria carried out $S500O.
An election for directors of the Norwich and Wor
cester Railroad Company for the ensuing year takes
place Wednesday John c. Holland, Esq, who has
for several years past been President of this company
has regret to learn, resigned and his place will be
Allied by the new Board Under the administration of
Mr. Holland, the affairs of the company have been ju-
diciously managed and the running arrangements of

It is stated good authority that the city of Boston
has arranged with the agent of London banking
