New VIEWS on THE TARIFF. The report Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury will preset some
novel views on the Tariff. He proposes to es-
tablish as principle of tariff legislation, the re-
duction of renewed regular additions to the free
list as fast as NAV be required tn equalize reye-
nue. with expenditures, and TO prevent the ac-
emulation of a surplus and to encourage man
ufactures by selecting the articles to be so add
ed from those which have ceased to be import
ed by reason of the superior cheapness of their
production in this country. This system will
confne taxation to those articles which enter in
to competition with those Of domestic growth or
manufacture.
The document upon the whole is forcible
argument for the necessity Of protection to man
ufactures, and takes the position that the most
efficient protection will be found in the gradual
and systematic approach to free trade, which he
recommends. In illustration of the argument,
he presents elaborate tables 10 prove that the a
verage industrial production in each year, and
that no State in which agriculture is nearly the
exclusive occupation of the people, produces
more than 500 per head per annum.

Statistics showing the decline of infant bap-
tism in Massachusetts, are declared BY the Com
gregational papers to be melancholy. while the
Baptist editors pronounce them highly salisfac-
tory as signs of progress in the right direction
The Episcopal Papers are also making these
statistics quite prominent, but with different
purpose from either of the others, to show how
prone those who remain outside Of the true
church are TO fall into looseness of ceremonial
observance. The statements are obtained from
reports of the churches, and they show a mark
ed annual decrease in the number of infant bap-
tisms for the past ten years, until in 1854 there
were but 1908 such bapiisms in the 466 church.
es of the State. In 1876 of the churches there
was not single infant baptised, in G5 others
each, in the remaining GAG about 5 each-an
average Of between and to each church in
the State. The same neglect of the ordinance
is supposed to prevail among the Congregation
alisis and PresbyteIians of the other States in
dicating either gradual change of opinion on
the subject, or a remarkable neglect of duty in
the members Of the churches.
