TKURSDAY. LANEARY 80.


The course Of trade between nations is some
times remarkable, and subject to changes con-
trary to the experience of the wisest Statesmen
and political theorists. An example Of this is
afforded in the recent singular decline in the
demand for cotton fabrics manufactured in Eng
land and Europe, which is now being developed.
1t was thought by British statesmen, when the
supply Of Southern cotton was cut of, that the
falling of in the demand for manufactured goods
would be confined solely to the American mar
ket on account Of the civil war but the latest
adsices show that a similar decline exists in the
demand for the India and China markets, which
is proving to be so great that the want of raw
cotton is now hardly felt, though it was feared
that the pressure for it to supply the English
manufactures might become so great as to lead
to open war between England and America.
But the necessities of commerce. have fallen off
so greatly that England and France cannot dis
pose of the reduced quantities which they pro-
duce. E
Another instance of singular commercial dis
turbance is afforded in the change which has
taken place in the demand for specie. For years
there has been a stream of gold and silver from
Europe to China and India, and as constant a
flow from New York to England. Now the cur
rent is reversed-the stream to Asia is partially
checked, while that from England and France
to New York Is exciting the wonder of the fnan-
ciers of Europe. Singular as these mutations
may seerh, they are the natural results of politi-
cal changes causing like changes in trade--in
the demand and supply of different nations.
America now requires, not manufactured goods,
but specie to carry on Der war, and this, which
constitutes the sinews of war, s" she will have,
let it come from where it may. Her wants are
of a different nature now from what they were
in time of peace.
Not less strikingly has the American War dis
turbed the commercial equilibrium of the Old
World, than the changes in our own financial
system have disturbed the and revenue
of this kingdom. From a prosperous and healthy
state, it has met a sudden revulsion, which, while
it operates on all classes more or less, casts its
heaviest weight on the government treasury.
We published last week on our first page, the
official returns of the Collector General, showing
the IN of the kingdom for the year 1861.
In order that our readers may make u COMPARE
son Of the returns for 1861, with those Of previ-
Gus years, we insert the following table, which
exhibits the variations in the leading items:

This certainly is a sad picture for us to present
to our readers and the world, but it is the truth
and must be told. Moreover, it results mainly
from the changes made in our revenue laws,
which went into operation in 1859 and 1860. 1t
was predicted by us, while the law was being
considered, and again after its passage. The fol-
lowing was our language:
We hold that the change Of the tariff from fire to
ten per cent. is unnecessary and unwise, and will
only result in deranging and destroying. in part ut
least, our foreign commerce. We advance, then, the
following propositions rs the basis on which this gov
eminent ought to be conducted:
Free Trade in foreign merchandise. so far as the same is
prac,ieabie.
2-Frss Port, for our foreign Commerce and whaling in
terests.
s-A reduction Of the present store and coa.ting license to a
nominal figure. perhaps so each. and the abolition Of Stamps.
ID"set TaTatioH, as a prospective main reliance for thu
support Of the government
We by no means contend that an immediate abro-
CATION or change Of the present revenue system is
either practicable or desirable, but rather that the
general aim Of all our legislation on government rev.
enues should tend TO the development of such n policy
as - stated above. The immediate and total repeal
Of our impost duties would be iapracfica6le and
UHiriSe but what We contend for il, that they should
be kept as low as possible. 50 rs not fetter or disturb
our commerce with other countries This is what we
mean when We use the term Free Trade, and not a
total abolition OF all duties. The rate Of fire per cent,
duty is not excessive. and can be continued without
detriment to either our foreign commerce or the
internal prosperity Of the kingdom but the time
may come when n reduction Of that rate may be
deemed wise policy. The position of this nstion is
peculiar situated as il in the heart Of the Pacific,
poor in capital and internal resources, compared with
the surrounding nations, it is dependent 10 a large
extent on its foreign c0mmeTe for its trade and sup
port Our peculiar position, therefore, requires n
peculiar policy, differing in some respects from the
suereOtyped notions Of older nations, and adapted tc
our immediate wants.
Now, what is TO be the result Of this financial
scheme. 1.-THE tariff Of 1882 which the Ministers
have set on foot with such n flourish Of trumpets?
Those who have looked at il most thoroughly, think
it will have powerful and immediate results, some of
which may be stated
1st.-To decrease the amount Of every description of import
ed merchandise
Alas a necessary cons .quence Of the foregoing, to reduce
the number OF merchant yess@s coming here

The Union men of Baltimore demand
that all the slaves of rebels shall be
freed AT the recent great meeting in
Monument Square said by the Baltimore
Clipper to have been the largest meeting
held in that place, the following resolu-
tion was unanimously adopled
RESOLVED, That while con6scatioh and
emancipation Of the property aud slaves
Of rebels may not be an efficient means
Of suppressing the rebellion, they are os-
sential to cripple the power Of those
now in arms TO embarrass the restoration
of peaceful and constitutional govern.
ment after their military power is broken;
therefore we heartily approve of the poll
icy of coniiscating the property Of tho
leaders of the rebellion, and declaring
the slaves Of every rebel free from all
obligation TO obey those who refuse TO
obey the laws of the land.
This is a plain, common sense view Of
a subject which has excited more dis
oussiOn than any other measure which
has been brought up during the war.
The opponents of conhscation tell W
that it would not have the least effect
and that it would only exasperate the
rebels. Well we do not understand how
a measure which would have no effect
could exasperate them.

A contemporary humorously and truth
fully says that if VALLANDIGHAM and his
ilk of conservatives had been living at
the time of the FIRST murder, they would
have called convention-in the land of
Nod, we supyose-and adopted, mem. Cca.
the following resolutions:
"RegolUed, That we are equally opposed
TO the pretended piety and evident fana-
ticism Of Abel and the authorized vio-
lence of the heightened and chivalrous
Cain.
Resolved, That the 'Ultras' who are
clamoring for the hanging of Cain, which
would only exasperate him, desire to de-
stroy the domestic happiness and peace of
the family, and have no other purpose in
view.
Re'OlUed, That we are in favor of pun
ishing both parties, and invite all con-
servative men to unite with us in frowning
down this whole business.
Resolved, That nobody has a right TO
provoke murder and if Abel had exhibit
ted less fanaticism this one never would
have occurred"
Now, the above conservative platform,
which incidentally condemns the act of
CAIN, while it explicitly denounces the
conduct of ABEL, is faithful picture of
the trash which certain Union Journals
and Congressman are forever serving up
for us. Such allies do far more harm to
us than to our enemies.

Ono Million,

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Republican takes the same view
of the conduct of the war that the UNION
has done for weeks past, He says:
What is the use of sending out half as
many men as the rebels keep in the field,
unless it is designed TO prolong tho war
and increase the sacrifice Of human life
on both sides ? Here, the sentiment is
rapidly becoming unanimous for the en-
rollment of a million of men, to march to
the Gulf overcoming by the power of
numbers, protecting the loyal, and drv-
ing the malignant and incorrigible traitors
entirely out of the country. This is all
that can end the war, or heal animosities
in the rebel States.
That is the cry pour down a hundred
thousand into every rebel State.
