The Tariff.

A very reliable Washington letterwritey 1nakes
some Interesting statements as to wbatls doing
by the Commtteeof Ways and Meaps'with re-
gard to the Tariff. He states that they have
had an interview with the Secretary of the
Treasury, and that they have made such prog
ress towards an agreement upon a project, that
there'is mo longer any doubt that they will
bring il forward with such strength that it will
be sustained by congress- 1t is further stated
that the schedules of the Tariff of '46 -@ili--be
preserved in their general form, but with some
exceptions in which it is proposed to make
changes. Many articles now charged With du-
ty, the writer says, are to be admitted duly free.
We suppose these are chiefly raw materials
which enter into the manufactures of thi. couh-
try. The writer states that the Secretary pro-
posed to admit wool costing less thag three
cents pound duty free. The committee pro-
pose, instead, to charge that wool with duty
of FIVE cents per pound. Wooden f,bricsare to
| be charged with duty of t,oenty fire insead of
Mirtufre cents; do. iron of all sorts.
Nothingis said about what is TO he done with
fine woods which are much wanted by he man
afacturers, and the duty on which is sich that
Kthey cannot compete with the foreign nanufac-
-tnrer. The reduction of the duty on tie foreign
~woolen fabric is certainly no help to the do
mestic manufacturer, and will be very distaste>
full to him. The reduction on iron viii create
some alarm amongst the iron mongers. Ifany
thing very obnoxious to the domestic manufac-
turing interests should be proposed, as it is the
short session, the bill will likely be strangled
by delay.
