vance in gold. But it is plain that our imports are
steadily increasing, and that they will continue 10
increase 80 long as successes in the field and issues
of paper money tempt and enable people to spend
money. We are already exporting coin at the rate
of very nearly million week. Since January we
have sent abroad nearly nine millions, against
about two millions in the same period last year.
and rather more than three in the same period OF
1860 As the spring and summer advance-espe-
cially if peace should be re-established-our i'm
port trade will receive marked developement'
and it is not probable that, under any circum
stances, we shall obtain sufficiently copious sup
ply of Southern staples to pay our indebtedness
in time to prevent very heavy drain Of bullion.
This is what the bulls in gold are relying They
argue that when we come to export two and three
millions of gold in week, as was the case in 1857
and 1860, while the banks can refuse to part with
their reserve. tho demand for coin thus created
must cause an advance in the premium to a 5per
cent at least. A few days now will enable US to
test the soundness of these theories.

market for the past week and month";

Nothing further is known with regard to the pur-
poses of the Ways and Means Committee in Con-
gress on the subject of the tariff Leading mer.
chants seem to think that no further increase will
be made in the duty on tea, sugar, coffee, &c. That
these articles can bear further duty without
reducing the consumption or pressing un-
duly upon any class in the community is
obvious 1t is apparent to every one who
il cognizant of the facts and rightly in
terprets the signs of the times that the
country is on the eve of period Of great pros
perity, during which every one will consume for
eign goods in large quantities, whatever the cost
may be. 1t will be just as easy as not for Con-
gress to make the tariff yield 500 900 900 during
the fiscal year 1923. All that will be necessary
will be to raise the duties on tea, sugar, coffee,
hides, wool, lead, tin, tobacco, and all kinds of
foreign dry goods and articles Of luxury, from 25
to so per cent all round. No one doubts but it
would be gain to the country at large if many of
the foreign manufactures and other articles Of
merchandise which We take from abroad by the
million every week could be wholly excluded from
our ports. As this cannot be done, and as our
people, when they have money, will buy foreign
silks and linens and woollens and jewelry and
champagne and tobacco, and sauces and watches,
all that remains for Congress to do is to make these
articles OF consumption bear as heavy proper
tion of the national burthens as possible. The
special arguments in favor Of doubling the duty on
lead have been frequently urged in this column,
aud will doubtless be pressed by Western men,
bers. Tin and steel, likewise, will bear large in
crease Of duty.
