On the second reading of Heifren's bill
for the protection of sheep from dogs, Green

The Tariff.

The Washington States is alarmed at the
in Congress. 1t says;
The apprehension excited among Demo-
cratic members by the President suggestion
in regard to the imposition of specific du-
ties, was increased by the prompt response
of the House to the appeal in behalfof a pro-
tective tariff. Mr.. Dewart of Pennsylvania,
felt himself so greatly encouraged by the
unexpected recommendation of the Execu-
tive, as to immediately propose suspension
of the rules with view to the introduction
of bill in accordance with the designs of
the protectionist party. The movement was
zealously seconded by Mr.. E. Joy Morris,
Representative from Philadelphia, and by the
cooperation of few ambiguous Democrats
with the bulk of the Opposition, was sus-
tanned by decisive majority of the House.
We had supposed, if any doctrine of the
Democratic party was thoroughly incorpor
ated in the policy of the Government, that
the principle of free-trade was thus establish
ed beyond the possibility of reputation
We had supposed, if the Democratic party be
united in the support of any one article of
its creed, that it is unanimously averse to
the revival of the Federal system of protec-
tive duties. We had fondly imagined that,
instead of being reduced to the necessity of
defending our position, we might be at lib
erty henceforth to develope the philosophy
of free-trade to the farthest limit compatible
with the exegincies of the country. The
action of this very Congress during its last
session, in entertaining proposition for the
abandonment of the tariff system, confirmed
us in the opinion that the Democracy need
be in no apprehension of a return to the ex-
ploded dogma of protective duties.
1t appears we repose upon a false security.
The first day of the present session is signal
lied by a recommendation ofspecifc imposts
from Democratic Executive; and the second
returns favorable response to the sugges-
ton from Democratic House of Represen-
tatives.

vessel to New London, Connecticut. A
trial of the negroes for murder was subse-
quently had, and it ended in their complete
acquital. They were afterwards sent over
to Africa by the Colonization Society.
The claim which has been presented to
our government for the indemnifcation of
the owners of slaves and the Amistad for
the loss of their property. The amount of
the claim presented by the Spanish govern
ment on behalf of the aggrieved parties, is
$4,000, and this, the President, in his mes
sage of December, recommends the payment
of, by an appropriation for that purpose.
The claim was also recommended by Presi-
dent Polk, and has been repeatedly referred
to in other messages during his administra-
ton.

Compare the progress Of the cod fisheries
with that Of the production Of pig iron.-
Accordin, to the last annual report of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, the producto, of
piy iron in 1890 was 2O,NW tons; in 1880,
it was l6j,O 900: in $40, it was 37,5 900, in

production Of the country would present a
still more striking contrast with the progress
Of the cod fishery. In 1891. the export of
cotton was l24 ,s93 900 pounds in 1890. it
amounted to DOS ,45? 900; in 1910, to 743,

ceeded one thousand millions in 1856, the
export amounted to l.3il ,43l 900 pounds.
