Mr.. Hosmer Mas native Of Connecticut, and
ennfgrated t an early hge into Livingston County,
N T., where hss sscommeuced the practice Of the
law, and soon. placed himself BY his talents and
industry in the ftent rank uf his profession. While
still comparatively young, he wss elected mem.
ber Of the Legislature, and, re believe, delegate
to the Constitutional Convention. When the late
war broke out wih Great Britain, he WIS among
the first to draw sword in his country's defence,
and at the battle II Black Rock aa well az In other
,aslda, acquitted himself with signal honor and
dBanction ID an officer In the army. In his pro-
fession, as in eyed public capacity he was called
upon to act, ho wfs distinguished BY re. olution,
mastery ability. the most sterling integ-
,r1ty, :. and. = ready eloquence which
Charmed and eattfed away all hearers. Had
Mr.: Hosraer's desire for public place and prefer
ment been upon a1ercl with his acknowledged ca.
pae1ty, he might h4ve reached almost any station
to which he aspired- But he loved foo well tie

The London Times declares that the
nsw American tariff amounts to an abso-
Lutte prohibition Of European goods This
Is simply nonsense. The Morrill, tariff,
so.called, is not SO high as the tariff Of '4G.
It does not average SO high as the revenue
system which prevailed up to 1857.
Whether VIC imported any European goods
between 184S and 1857, let the financial
crash Of the latter year make answer.
The facts are simply these. Under the
tariff Of '57 The government has becn
running in debt latterly at the rate
OF '$3o,t0o,o0o q year, and losing
credit in the same proportion. Now
this deficit must be made up
from some source. Either the tariff
must be raised or the tax-satherer must go
around to peoples doors. If the latter al
tcrnatiye be resortcd to the taxes on the
people Of Illinois, to meet the deficit Of the
tariff Of '57, will be fully s1,5oo,ooo per
annum, supposing that al the Southern
States pay their share; or $4,000, 900 per an
mum, il those States pay nothing. The
latter sum ia about dou5le the State tax Of
1880 for all purposes.
We are not aware that American tariffs
should framed to suit England or any other
European nation. They do not consult us
when they want 10 raise revenue by i'm
posts Great Britain believes in free trade
Just 30 far as 1t is profitable to herself, and
no farther. She raises nearly one-half Of
her enormous revenue BY duties on imports
specific duties at TINT She admits raw
cotton free because she must haye it, but
she puts tariff On large variety Of cot
ton manufactures because she wants the
money derived from such tariff She ad-
mits corn and provisions free because she
must have them at the lowest possible
figure to sustain her manufacturing classcs,
but she Ievies q toll Of $2.40 per cwt on
manufactures of copper, the same on
earthen ware, the same on tin ware; 72
cents per pound and per cent. additional
on unmanufactured tobacco, $218 per
pound and 5 per cent additional on the
Same manufactured; $40 per so Gu
bic feet cn manufactures Of wood; s1440
each On piQnos 10 per cent, on all manu-
factnrers ofleathcr; 4 cents per pound On
india rubber goods Of all kinds, etc. In
short, Great Britain believes in free trade
Just so far as she can make money out Of
