Modification of the Tar,f.-The Norristown Re.
giser, one of the most prominent democratic papers
in Pennsylvania, holds this language:
ga modification of the tariff can now be eff
ected, either by adding to the per centage on ron
until it comes up to the revenue standard, or BY
fixing unchangeably the ad valorem on which this
per centage shall be assessed. If this price be
fixed high enough, thirty per cent. ad valorem will
answer. The latter has many advantages-it
would prevent sudden fluctuations, and stop effect
ually fraudulent invoicngs, and the duties would
never run too high nor too low. The objection
that i would be specific is not well founded-a
specific duty as commonly understood, is laid upon
quantity, as per ton, or per yard and having no
regard TO qualify it is not equal and therefore in
consistent with an ad valorem tariff But a specific
price, although permanently fixed is not at variance
with the principles Of an ad valorem revenue
tariff, because the price fixed is ad valorem-and
The standard that fixed valuation, with the per
centage, Is the revenue standard. Ii is only fixed,
and not sliding, for the puspose of avoiding huctu
alions and fraud in the invoices"

the privilege of examining an original autograph

Insuring Debtors Lye-A case was tried
day or two ago, in one OF our courts, in which an
unusual circumstance in the relations of debtor
and creditor was developed by the testimony The
suit was against the executor of person who be-
came indebted to the plaintiff and another person.
in the sum Of about five hundred dollars each. As
matter of prudence, these creditors united in eff
fecting an insurance on their debtors ife to the
amount of their claims upon him. In few weeks
after this the debtor died, and the insurance COM
pany paid the amount of their insurance. The
plaintiff subsequently brought suit upon his claim
against the estate of his debtor and WILL of course,
obtain twice The amount of his original claim. The
mater was sugges ed on the trial, but as there was
no condition IN the policy of insurance, nor any
circumstances which could prevent the plaintiff
from recovering on the policy and against the
estate of his debtor also no legal objection could
be urged to The suit. philadelphia Ledger.
