The Injustice of the Tariff OF 1916 TO
American Labor.

We have already illustrated the radical
iniquity of our existing Tariff by the ex-
ample of Hemp and its Manufactures, the
former being charged a duty of thirty per
cent. ad valorem on its foreign cost, while
the same staple manufactured by Foreign
Laboris admitted as Cables, COrdage, &C.,
at a duty of twenty-five per cent. ad valo-
rem, or one-sixth less than is charged on it
when imported raw and manufactured by
American Labor. Nobody defends this
no advocate of the existing Tariff attempts
to correct it-yet none of them indicate a
willingness to correct it.
But it seems we did not fathOm the
depth of the antiNational injustice. The
present Tariff, through inattention or de-
sign, failed to specify Rope Yarn ,
among the articles subject to twenty-five
per cent. or any other duty. The conse-
quence is that it comes under the head of
'non-enumerated articles, which pay a
duty of but ttcenty per cent.--Or one third
less than the American spinner of just such
Yarn must pay on his raw material in case
be imports it Read the plain and forcible
expose Of the Rope Makers of Williams
burgh, and say whether this ought or ought
rot to be corrected:

preston which has been felt by this branch Of in
dustry for the last fe " years demands effort
for its removal in order TO prevent its threatened
extinction. We believe that great part Of this
difficulty has been occasioned by an inadvertent
omission in the Tariff Of 1896 which renders the

~ The Albany State Register has a
very savage leader in reply to The Tn
bune's article of Monday last on the Sill
yer Gray intrigues to commit the Wings
of New York to the perpetuation of the
Fugitive Slave Law. The following is its
vigorous peroration
1.-THE passage of resolutions sustaining the Ad-
ministratiop, that is, the Fugitive Slave Law, so
far from embarrassing, would smooth the way for
the election Of a United States Senator, and re
move the princp pal obstacle to the harmony OF the
Wing party. Rather than see il AbOlitonlzed,
we will fight to the death. and die In the last
ditch. 1.-THE Editor of the Tribune and his friends
are resolved on AbOlitionizing it, then 1t Is d.
vided party and all hopes OF reconciliation are
vanished"
Now, we think "the way for the cleo
ton of a United States Senator" was
smoothed' by the election of Wing ma
jorlty of fvreJ a. tho Ioint Ballot of the
present Legislature, and don need any
more rubbing down. At all events, zoe
sha'nt profer any. And if the Admins
tration wants to be sustained" as it has
been in Pennsylvania and New-Jersey,
why it can make the Fugitive Slave Law
its Shibboleth and go ahead. The Wing
party of New York will simply refuse to
bury itself under the load.
But the Editor of the Register must
forego that desperate resolve about fight
ing and dying. He must not so deprive
the public of one of its chief sources of
amusement. We know no other man alive
so fit to edit the Silver Gray organ as
himself. Let him be entreated to re-
consider his determination, and let his sur
plus valor ooze out at his fingers ends, as
in the case Of his brave words in our State
Senate in support of our States Jury Trial
and other Anti-Slavery measures. He
mast consent to live, Ebut he need MT distress
himself about reconciliation. If he
and his little clan will get fairly out Of the
Wing party for good and not stalk out
at Syracuse merely to creep in again at
Utica, he will do the cause all the good
within his power.

The NEw-HAMPsHIRE CAsE.-The
House yesterday-we presume by party
vote-settled the Hampshire Con-
tested Seat in favor Of Mr.. Geo. w. Nor
rison, the returned Member, and against
Rev. Jared Perkins, the Wing contestant.
The case establishes an important prece-
dent, and therefore deserves brief state
rnent. The material facts are as follows :
When the XXVIIth Congress passed an
act requiring that each Representative
should thenceforth be chosen from a sepa-
rate or single District, New-Hampshire,
with three other co-Foco States, multi
fed and defiled the law, choosing her
Members by General Ticket, as Heretofore.
A Loco. FocC majority in the House admit
ted them in like defiance of the law, and
so the State continued to choose by Gener-
al Ticket till the 'Hale-ssorm of 1916,
when the Wings and Independents carried
the Legislature and Distracted the State,
and Distracted it fairly, not breaking
County lines, and making four Districts
nearly equal in populations equal as
could be without dividing Counties. Since
then the State has chosen by Districts-the
dominant party carrying the twOupper and
the Wings and Independents the two lower
Districts. Several successive Loco Foco
Legislatures left this law unchanged, but
that of lS49 or so Gerrymanded the Dis
tricts, in order to make them all LEGO Fo-
co, adding on several Of the strongest Loco
FOcO towns to each of the Wing Districts,
and making the four Districts not more but

The New Gambling,

We have declined the advertisements of
several Gift Concerts and other new
fashioned Lotteries, which we find are be-
coming of almost nightly occurrence. These
forms of modified or diversified Gambling
are wrong, and must be stopped; but we

standard of morality for others. The lav
forbjds The publication of such advertise
ments as have been sent US, and we trust
our friends whom we have felt constrained
to disoblige, will accept this as an ample
explanation of our course. We call their
attention, and that of the City Authorities,
to the following:

less equal than they were before. The
Members of the present Congress had al
ready been chosen-Messrs. Wilson and
Tuck in the two lower Districts. But Gen.
Wilson resigned last September, and a
special Election was ordered for successor.
But who should choose that successor !
From what District should he be elected
The Wings said, From the District as 1t
existed at the time Gen. Wilson was elect
'ed-that is the District unrepresented-
for the towns Just added thereto are al
ready represented by the Member for
whom they voted, and who is still in his
seat-otherwise they will have two Rep
resentatives.' This the Loco-Focos re-
sisted, insisting that the towns added to the
District since the regular Election was held
should vote to fill the vacancy at the special
Election So these towns voted, the
Wings protesting; and the result was as
anticipated-the District as it was electing
Mr.. Perkins, (Whig,) and the District as
it has been Gerrymandered giving major
ity for Mr.. Morrison, (OpPosition.) Here
upon the latter was returned and took his
seat, Mr.. Perkins contested, and the House
has lust decided that the former shall hold
on. We do not care much whether the
Opposition majority in the House shall be
one more or less, but this decision seems to
US to encourage the bad practice Of altering
Districts to subserve party ends, and we
think it in that view unfortunate.

sKnockings are produced by the art ofthose who

Of MANY mediums, l not only discovered how
the Rappings are produced. but by much prac-
tee at leisure moments, found that | could pro-
duce them myself, even louder than bad ever be-
fore heard them, and in manner that no person
could detect if chose to impose upon his credul'

that was crowded with an audience OF thousand
people.
