GFMoDIFlCATIoN OF THE TaRIFF.-It
is said that the Committee OF Ways and
Means in the House have, after much diff
ficulty, agreed to report a bill for the
modification of the tariff somewhat upon
the basis suggested by Secretary GurH.
RE. The bill contains five schedules Of
rates. We copy an abstract thereof from
the Washington correspondence of the
New York Herald:
The first schedule, the old one hundred
per cent. duty on brandies, liquors, &C..
remains unchanged. We now receive
three millions duties annually from this
source.
The second schedule rates the duty a,
twenty per cent. This includes all the
articles which, in the present tariff, very
from twenty-five to one hundred per cent.
1t also includes iron, sugar, manufactured
silk and hemp.
The third schedule is fifteen per cent.
the fourth ten per cent, and the fifth five
per cent, and embraces nearly all the ar.
ticles in the existing tariff, but reducing
to fifteen per cent. articles which now pay
twenty to ten per cent. articles which
now pay fifteen, &c.
The twenty per cent. schedule include.
raw silk and some desert plions of medi,
cines and dyes:ufs. We now receive
over seven million dollars duties upor
manufactured silk.
The lists are very full. and fifteen pei
cent. is placed upon all unenumera,ed ar
tcles,
Salt, which under the present tariff as
an enumerated article, pays twenty pei
cent, is to be admitted free cf duiy.
The free lis. takes in all the articles fre'
as we'll as many article row in the lowe
list Of duties. II also includes ceruil
dyessuffs and medicines. 1t is not, how
ever. asextra as Mr.. Gu,hrie's proposition
With regard 10 bounties the COMMITTEES
have determined 10 remain silent. Thi
does not look very favorable 10 the reci
procily treaty, which looks to their abol
ishment.
II is estimated that this tariff will yiel
revenue of about forty five millions.

nPTHE Wool MARKET.-The edi-
Tor OF The Wool Grower gives the fol-
lowing figures as what the various grades
ought to range this season:
Saxony, 60n75c
Merino. 40a60c
Three quarter and O half. 35a50c
Common, 35a40c
Prices depending on condition more
than usual There has been no change 10
favor sellers as yet, nLr is there any pros
pect. as the season for clipp ng draws
near. There is no doubt but what Wool
is worth quite as much to the manufac.
.urer this year as Inst. But the condition
Of the fnancial sffnirs consequent upon
the war, and the high price for breads,uffs
will tend to depress the early market be-
low the point to which it should 60. II
there should be good harvest in Eng.
land and at home, the chances are that the
Wool will materially advance in the fall.
Our opinion, however is, that at no time
this year will he price of Wool equal
that of last year. Farmers may do we'll
TO hold on, but they will not do wise il
they hold beyond fair offer, beca use they
got more for their clip year ago.

This is indeed triumph, the more so,
as il has been achieved without blood

Heretofore, the English and Dutch

the case is very different. America holds

Plank Road!

"Wednesday last, Messrs. Page, Tilton,
Baughman and York, the Committee ap.
pointed at the meeting some two weeks
since. for that purpose, accompanied by
Mr.. Newman, a practical surveyor, sur
veyed the proposed route for the Plank
Road across the Prairie. The survey
was commenced at the County Line,
where the New Haven aud Bucyrus road
intersects, and run due west across the
Prairie. The distance across, at this
point, is four and half miles, and the
Committee report that The route is practi.
cable, and that the only place that will
be at all difficult to build, is about one
hundred rods Of swampy ground, which
can be planked at a trfling additional
expense. The opinion Of the Committee,
is, that it will cost no more TO build the
road over the prairie, than it would to
build the same distancs through lin Der
land. The people west Of the prairie are
very anxious that the road should be
built, and will subscribe literally to effect
it.
By reference to another column it will
be seen that meeting will be held Thurs.
day evening next, the 29ih inst, to give
the matter further consideration, and hear
the report of the committee. We hope
it may be well attended. The project is
one Of vital ID porance to US. A rich
country, teeming with wealth, will be
opened TO us-trade that Plymouth has,
as vet never been able to reach, must flow
hither. Such enterprises must not be
overlooked 1t is only by such means
that we can retain the position we have
gained. 1t is only by such means that
we can hope for an increase in the future.
Let our business men think of the mat
ter. We hope also that farming com.
munity will be we'll represented. To
those along the Line it is Of direct inter-
est. LIE, the meeting be full one.
