The N. 7. Indepcndt,a points out some OF
the defects In our present tariG Speaking
Of the enormous price that has been charged
for butter, 1t eays:
The Cause of this exborbltant advance in
such commodity has been attributed BIZ
some Of our contemporaries to speculation;
but We think the sole cause has been a legit-
mate one, and may be directly trnced to the
neglect Of Congress in not amending our,
tariff Of duties on imported merchandise
The product Of our dairies has been sent off
whose Importation has been stimulated by the
low rate Of duties imposed upon them.
What is IN article Of luxury? ia question
that opens wide door for debate But there
are certain things which no one Will deny are
luxurics, pure and simple; and these are
taxed articles in the whole catalogue Of for
eign tmportations. All kinds Of jeWelry, and
all the trumpcry which comes nnder the head
Of mock iewelry, for example, pays but
twenty Ter cent, while mechanics tools
pay tlfrty-fiye. Silks costing undera dollar
yard, md silk velyets under three dollass 4
calicoes pay about hfty, and sometimes ns
hishns eighty3per cent. The tnest Of 1neri-
nos puy but thfrty-dye Fer cent, while low
priced n,oussc1ine de 1aiues pay about fifty
Champagne and Burgundy wines, which
ought to be taxed ut least hundred per cent,
pay but fifty, the same tax that Is put upon
medicinal preparations, which are necessary
for the preservation Of health. Little toy ny
ures for mantcl ornaments pay but ten per
cent duty, diamonds but five per cent, pearls
and coral but thirty, while; steel flea pay
thirty-dve per cent and two cents pound.
The tariff Is full of such violations Of the
cardinal principles of ta1ation, whereby the
highest rates Of duty are laid upon articles Of
prime necessity and materials. needed by the
laboring people, while the lowest rates are
put upon articles of pure luxury. which none
but the very wealthy ought ever to indulge.
in. Is 1t any wonder that thoughtful men
Congressmen to their highest duty while

from that SOURCE The duty on bleaching

business. Since straw paper has come into
general use in consequence Of the scarcity of
rags, bleaching powders have advanced very
greatly In price. 1t requires several times
more Of them to bleach straw than cotton raga.
The advance in the price Of print, labor, liy-
