" Money and Business"

Under this caption the Tribune of last week
reiterates few of the old threadbare arpu-
ments in favor of high protective tarif-tak-
ing for its text a paragraph from the Dry
Goods Reporter, in which the principal idea is
that three ourths Of the ,chole imports of the
Union are made at Nep York" Our neigh
boris article closes as follows -
The ruinous free trade system of '46 has
already done very much towards cramping the
enterprise and paralyzing the energy of our
,cltlzenS, and the centralizing and accumulating
tendency OF the present taIlf system will event.
ually do much more towards checking our
growth and making our citizens poor. New
York has attained large portion of this for
elgn trade by gross fraud upon the Revenue,
and the legitimate tendency of the Tariff of
'46 is to encourage fraud or check home in
terests. We wish the people to carefully
consider to whom this outrage upon their in
terest is due I'D. r
Notwithstanding the fact that the old High
Protective Tariff issue was repudiated by the
wing party in the last Presidential campaign,
and is now regarded nearly as obsolete an idea
as the old National Bank, and notwithstanding
the fact that its great advocate, who has been
STYLED the ''father of the American system re-
Gently declared that she would not even pro-
pose TO alter the essential principles of the
tariff bill of lS46''-we now and then find
wing press re-vamping some of the old argu
ments that have been answered over and over
again, and making such broad, unwarranted
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by figures, and which
indeed are disprOred by them-as appear in
the extract quoted above.
"The r1nous free trade system of 49,
and here we discover a resort to the old favor
lite mode of tactics that the advocates of high
duties and protection to a few privileged class
es are so disposed to avail themselves of-but
which would be rendered little more ardild-
bic if based upon "official Statistics for sup
port. Instead of the low duties system of 46
tending TO cramp the enterprise and paralyze
the energy of cur citizens-'checking our
growth, and making our citizens poor" we
assert that comparison of the business of the
country, both foreign and domestic, under lo,c
and high duties, will show the advantages to be
much in favor of the former. Under the four
years of the high tariff of 1912, our imports
and exports were much less than under the four
preceding years of low duties, making, conse-
quently, a depression in our commercial inter
ests. Our commercial and consuming interests
are of much more importance than our manu-
featuring interests, and the figures show that
each of the two former were made to suffer
under high dnties, while the latter was only
benefited. Thus, as to our imports, the aver
age amount of yearly imports from

Letters of Vim. H. Se1card and John Van
B,ren.-As part of the history of the late
Boston slave case, we should have mentioned
the letters received by convention of aboli-
tionsts in Boston, at the time the excitement
was high in that city. Mr. Seward recon-
mends constitutional resistance to the law, on
the ground that the congress of the U. States
has no jurisdiction of the subject. He encour-
ages agitation as inseparable from our political
organization and, not believing the Union in
danger from such course, he recommends a
repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law. Mr.. Van
Buren, with less subtlety but more boldness,
says, that an unjust law must be obeyed until
it shall be repealed. But an unconstitutional
law is best tested by resistance. He gives no
advice to fugitive slaves to resist the law; but
says, if he should be seized by this law, he
should resist with all The means he could COM
mand. He agrees with Mr.. Seward that there
is no danger to the Union, and in some other
respects. Those who are inclined TO be per-
suaded by these letters, would do well to read
the able expostions of the law which have been
given by the courts before they make up their
minds TO yield to the views of either Mr.. Sew
ard or Mr.. Van Buren,.

But we think we have produced sufficient
evidence-all coming from official sources-to
disprove our neighbours statement, and to show
that our commercial, agricultural and even
manufacturing interests are in more favora-
bic condition under the present tariff, than they
were under the high tariff Of AZ, and we trust
that the statistical information which we have
furnished will be saved by onr neighbor, SO
that when he gets into another of his periodi-
cal tariff fits, he may recur to the facts, and
thus save himself the modification of either

FIRST LESSONS IN COMPOSITION, in which the
Principles of the Arl are developed in con-
nection with the principles of Grammar
embracing full directions on the subject Of
Punctuation; with copious Exercises BY &.
P. Quackenbos, A. NJ, Rector of the Henry
Street Grammer School, New York.
This book presupposes knowledge of
grammar, and is intended as the pupils first
book in this study. In the first fifty pages he
is made familiar with the nature and use of the
different parts of speech, so as to be able to
recognize them at once, and to supply them
when a sentence is rendered incomplete by
their omission. He is then led to consider the
different kinds of sentences, and is thus pre-
pared for punctuation, the rules for which have
been condensed and rendered perfectly intelli-
gible to all.
This is, without question, the best work that
has appeared on the subject which it is intend
ed to illustrate, and it appears to be admirably
adapted to the use of our common schools 1t

And losti because their infant forms are laid.

They are not dead; hut to bright realm springins-
Bright, though to our mortal vision dim us
Faith hears them ever in His temple singing,

They are not lost; but from these desert regions
Which.for painful hour, their young feet pressed
They have heen welcomed by immortal legons,
Unto a kingdom where the weary rest t.
And shall we yield despairingy TO sndncss,
Binding our spirits to the senseless clod,
While the good angels, with song of gladdness,
Bear our young children to the throne ofGod!

Waiting and watching, till bright to.marrow

A MAN ATTACKED BY A PANTHER.
We learn from the Thibodeaux (La. }
Minerva, that short time ago man was
attacked by panther, on the Raccourci
Road, leading from Bayon Black 10 tho
Little Terebonne. The panther had
crouched himself ON the branches Of
large tree by the road side, and, as the
man was riding by, pounced at his prey,
but missing bic aim, caught upon the
horses rump, tearing The skin and flesh
in most shocking manner. The rider,
in his fright, and in his endeavor TO dis
mount, let fall his overcoat, which the
panther discovered, quilted his hold ON
the horse, pounced upon it, tearing it in
many pieces. The man made his es-
cape without receiving any greater injury
than severe fright and the loss of his
OyercOat.
