TARIFF PRosPEcTs.-A v asbington
correspondent writes his impression
about tariff measures "that such a mod
ifcation of the present tariff will be pro-
posed, with the consent of the Admin
istration, as viii produce a sufficient re-
venue to provide for the expenditures
of the Government. tits propable the
duty on iron will be raised from "a per
cent (the present dnty),.to so per cent.
But this will not be easily effected nu-
less the duty on all cotton and woo!len
fabrics be proportionably raised. In
the desire to help Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, New England must not be
forgotten"
