One Of the most important questions which the
present Congress il called upon to discuss. and
perhaps to settle, Is that Of the manner Of raising
our revenue. The immediate point now at issue
Is whether we shall continue the present system Of
nd polororp duties or retarn TO that OF specific inn
posts. In this question every trader is inte-
rested. and we believe there Is hardly 1.-THE of
our intelligent merchants engaged in foreign
commerce who have not become, through prac-
teal experience, the advocates Of the system of
specific imposts.
In the general principles involved In the tariff
discussion there is much less diversity of opinion
now than formerly. II is generally admitted
that tariff is simply means Of revenue for the
government, the protcctonists having abandoned
their old ground Of direct prohibition and as
sumed that Of incidental protection only. But in
all the tariff systems that have hitherto claimed
the public attention. It has never been pretended
that any of them should be made the means of
oppression or even annoyance, TO the trader
Governments everywhere have recognized the
fact that the importer, who pays the stipulated
duties on his goods is merely the channel
through which the duty is collected from the
consumer. Acting upon this principle, no GO
vernment claims that the merchant shall ad-
vance to it the amount of the duty to be col
lected, and wait for reimbursement until be has
sold his goods. In some countries long credits
for the amount Of the duty are given to the i'm
porter, 10 enable him TO realize before being
called upon 70 pay. In others the bonded sys-
tenn Is established, 80 that he can place his goods
In the public warehouses, and pay the duty only
as they are taken for immediate distribution and
consumption In both Of these systems the great

Cry RAILROAD AND OMNIBUS FARE.-we give
elsewhere a communication from a stage pro-
prietor, in which he attempts to prove that the
city railroad cars cannot be probably run for
less than five cents per passenger and that omni-
bus propretors must charge six cents TO realise
any profit In support Of his position he gives
the statements Of the secretaries Of ne respective
railroad companies made to the Comptroller in
1854, together with some facts from his own
experience on the subject of omnibus fare
Apart from the interested character of these
statements, there are q few facts known to the
public which go TO chow that they are
not entirely reliable. The stock Of all
the city railroad companies is above par,
with the single exception of the Second
Avenue Company, which has the reputa-
ton of being the poorest, although IL pays
two per cent quarterly on Its capital stock. The
Eighth Avenue Company has declared as high as
fifteen per cent per annum; and, in the midst Of
the financial panic Of last year, its stock was in
demand at l25. The other city railroads yield
eight and ten per cent dividends, and their stock
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1858-12-22

is in demand at high prices. 1t may be pre-
mature as yet TO ask for a reduction of fare to
three cents but in view of these large profits, it
is not too much to ask that the public should
have better accommodations than they have at
present At least one-third more cars should be
placed on the Eighth Avenue road, and the other
lines should add largely to their present compile
ment, to prevent overcrowding. An agitation on
the subject of reducing the fare to three cents
might open the eyes of the companies on this
subject, and lead to some reform.
With regard to omnibuses we know that the
Phenix, Knickerbocker and other lines run
for five cents and pay profit; and we presume
all the remaining lines could do likewise. At
any rate it would do no harm to try the expert
ment.
