The President ON Saturday approved and
signed the act adding fifty per cent to the pre-
existing rates of duty ON importatons, inclu6-
ing those in bond as wei! as those or thci. way.
There is but one thing to regret with regard to
this-namely, that il was not done four months
sooner. Had it been, We should have been this
day rchor ty many millions Of specie which VIC

lul for what We have, even at the eleventh hour
As to the clamor against imposing The en-
L.-oed duties on goods in bond or On The way,
l. is smrlv impudeut. In the first place, nearly
all tho Impo.,s that pay any considerable duty
have been hurriedi. taken out OF bond On pur-
pose 20 erade the enhacoed rates; next, the
merchants were certain 20 ada hose rates to the
prices of their stocks, whether thcy poid it into
the Treasury or not; and the only practical
question was" Shall the higher rates that the
People will at all events be required TO pay 60
wholly into the pockets Of the merchants or
partly into the hungry vaults OF the Treasury"
The actual state of tie case is substantially thus;
An Importer has 100000 worth Of fabrics,
whereof half are in bis store, quarter iii bond,
and the rest on their way from Europe At the
first intimaton that this bill was pretty sure to
pass, lie puts up the price Ofnearly everything by
nearly or quite the foil amount Of the now duty;
making his goods worth in all, say 81, 100000.
But 10 takes out nearly orquite all those in bond
while the act Is being perfected, paying only
the old rates; he pays nothing extra on those
already in store; so that at most he will pay
the enhanced rates on but 100000 worth IN
ALL while no viii charge it on the entire
81, 600, 600 worth: too often joining in the howl
against the bad faith of the Republic in not
letting his goods on the way from Europe come
in at the old rates. There can be nothing fairer
than to charge the enhanced duty on all the
goods still within reach; but the sophstry OF tho
Whisky gamblers and their lobby agents seems
to have confused some naturally lucid minds.
| As to the Internal Tax-bill which has passed
the House, it is in the main a very good one,
and will of itself produce revenue OF
| $500, OO0, 900 per annum ii enacted and en-
I forced. Hero is where We fear it is lame-in
