The Tariff.

The Philadelphia Argus, concludes an
editorial on the present political phase OF
the Tariff as follows:
What are the eleven Republican mem.
bers of Congress from this State doing now
to secure protection for Pennsylvania en-,
tterprise and industry? 1t is true that Mr..
Morris has reud an essay, and published
1t, in favor of the doctrine of protection.
but here their zeal has stopped, and they
have found employment in silly inyesti.

mostly grntify its spleen, when questions
OF vital Importance to men of all creeds
are pending in our national councils? We
think not. Our people, impulsive as they
may be at times, are too intelligent and
patriotic to permit the interest and honor
OF their State to be periled in this manner,
and we much mistake them if they do not
call the Republican members of Congress
to serious reckoning. Let us hear no
more, then, about Democratic insincerity
on the tariff question the facts are before
the country, and they speak for them
selves.

The total amount OF railroad iron im-
ported up to 30th January, 1858, was / =
Sl6,523 tons, valued at Sos, 1888, ,793, on
which duties to the amount of S25 ,l26. .6I3
were paid. OF this sum S6,3I3,3 800 were
refonded, leaving the actual duties paid
on railroad iron up to the present time,
.SlS,753,3l3.
There are about thirty thousand miles
of railroad in the United States, and the
States receiving the lands, as already
named, contain about seven thousand five
hundred miles, or seven hundred and fifty
thousand tons of railroad iron, valued at
S3l, 1856, 900, on which duties to the amount
of 1858, 32S were paid.
The total value Of iron and of iron manu-
factures imported from 1851, to 1858 in
elusive, is SlGS, ,242,06l; on which duties
to the amount of S49, $50, ,0SI 20 were paid.
Now, Mr.. President, permit me to re-
view this account for few minutes. As
the duty on railroad iron has been the sub
ject of special complaint, | shall deduct
from the aggregate value Of the land grants,
the total amount of duties paid on rail
road iron from the day the first bar was
imported up to the close Of the fiscal year,
say SIS, ,75G, ,3l3, and balance of SSl, ,949,-
l57 remains; of this aggregate of duties
the States receiving the land grants for
railroads paid less than five millions. But,
sir, to be still more generous, suppose we
deduct the aggregate value of all the rail-
road iron used in the same States, less the
duties, say, S3l 1856 900, and the balance
still S50,764, l57. But, sir, we can 90 furo
ther and deduct the total amount of du.
ties paid on iron and iron manufactures
since the first land grant in 1850, less the
duties on railroad iron already deducted
and there is still left the handsome ball

MANUFACTURE OF CARPETs.-An eSani-
nation of ordinary velvet carpets shows
that the back, instead of presenting the
same appearance as the ffont-whch the
ingram does-is apparently web of moth
ing but hemp. The process Of making
velvet carpetsin this way is Of comparative
ly new invention, and has contributed
more than anything else to the great re-
duction in the price of such fabrics In
these carpets the wool is all worked upon
the front, and the hempen threads all
thrown upon the back; hence they can
be manufactured at greater economy
than hidderminster carpets, in which,
though they also haye,a velvet surface
the thread is carried from back TO front,
and from front to back. The latter de-
scription of fine carpets are necessarily
made of fine wool, and consequently are
soitcst, wear longer, and do not whiten
IN the seams. But, on the other hand,
they cost great deal more, nor can they
be made with so many colors. being wo.

the rights of States. She intends to deal
justly 10y her sister States and stands by
the Constitutional rights of all. She will,
as she always has done, in peace or in war,
perform her whole duty to the Union, and

The NEW GOLD CHIPPING PRocEss-
A woman was observed in New York, last
week by detective police officer, purchas.
ing loaf of bread at bakery, and paving
for it with a five dollar gold piece short.
ly afterwards she was noticed by the same
officer, making small purchases at various
places, always giving similar gold piece
as payment and receiving good money in
exchange, and finally, he noticed her 90
ing into an exchange office and obtain
gold pieces for the very bills she had res
celved in change, requesting that the piec-
es should be as new and thick on the edge
as possible. The officer satisfied there
was something wrong, arrested her, when
it turned out that the gold pieces passed
by the woman had been ingeniously sawed
down about half an inch edgeways; about
one dollar and thirty cents worth of gold
taken out; the cavity was filled in with
base metal the edges closed together ap-
parently by great pressure the piece was
then ''remilled," and the coin looked as
well and would ring as well when struck.
as the genuine coin, and the fraud could
only be detected by weight As a test,
one OF the pieces was taken to bank and
was pronounced good, and the officers of
the bank would not believe it was ''tin.
kered" piece until it was weighed.
