Mr. Riddles bin to regulate in part the trade
between the L. States and the Erpuhc of Peru,
which was reported to the House of Represen-
tatives, on Monday provide that guono shall be
admitted duty free whenit sells IN our markets at
$40 per ton; that small duty of four per cent
shall be imposed upon the article when the price
thereof is below 81. duty of ten per cent when
price is below $50; and duty Of sixty per cent,
when the price is above $50 the bill TO take effect
if the President shall not succeed in ncgotiainga
treaty with Peru for supply of guano on moro
liberal terms than at present.
The provisions of this bill, we believe, will not
do. The duty is too low Free admittanee at
$40 and prohibition by 80 or 100 per cent, nd
valorem. whenever the price shall exceed that
sum, would operate Ms an immediate and affec-
tual remedy for the exorbtant rates now charged
for guano. 1t would touch the pockets not only
of Peru but of her guano monoposts, and is the
most direct method of meeting the declaration
which they have made, that the property is theirs
and they have therefore the right TO dispose of it
when,and on the best terms they can. This meas
ure would leave Peru and her vampires in the OK
ercise of their Wanted rights, whilst it would re
leve the American agriculturalisi Of the eNtorton
which they now practise upon him. Nor would
there be any danger from such a measure of
cutting off the trade. In the United States
are the largest markets for the article and,
without the demand which exists for it here, its
price would Immediately fall 81 per cent. In
fact the monopoly for il in our markets, said to be
hel by Messrs. Barreda q Bro, would become
valueless to them, they would be excluded
from English and other markets by the mouopo-
lies there held by other parties. We should
Eadopt. therefore, active measures ,Nnd this would
certainly be only proper rebuff which the ex-
Porting and uncompromising spirit of Peru and
heg agents would seem TO require. Guano has
pine necessity TO the cultiyator of the soil
1larly in this State; but It's price has now
- point from which no profit can be rea-
pse. In England, where the lands
nd rents exorbitantly high, it appears
Aaen assteady falling off in the
