in case OF fire. 1t is useless to condena the
tiremen or any one else until this is done.

The SOUTHERN PRESS ON NEWSPAPERS AND
PRINCPrEs.-The newspapers, and particu-
larly those of the South, are very much
exercised about the course of the HERALD.
They speak of the "NEw YORK HERALD's
somersaults," of its belonging to first one
party and then to another, of its want
of principle, and sometimes the sapient
editors, judging from their own experience,
accuse US of being bought up by the politicians.
1t is a favorite theme, and just now the HERALD
is very extensively advertised by notices Of
this sort Now, while we can have no objec-
ton to being SO generally advertised we think
proper out Of charity to these foolish Journalists
and by way Of difusing useful knowledge,
to enlighten them on the subject of independent
journalism.
The other newspapers of this country, almost
without exception, are mere party papers.
They exist, such an existence as it is, by party
patronage or support, and their editors have
no conception Of an Independent paper like
the HERALD, which cares nothing for party
and assails all parties in turn when they de-
serve it. Hence they judge us from their own
standpoint and are incapable Of judging us in
any other way.
They say we change. Hows Are we not
always for the constitution Of the countryf
Do we not always sustain the dignity and
advocate the interests Of the countryf
Are we not always opposed to extreme men
and measures, and do we not always
support the conservative principles and
action of the government! Whatever tends
TO preserve the government or to pro-
mote the interests Of the country never fails
to enlist the support of the HERALD. But the
measures of parties or partisan politicians,
whether in or out Of Congress, or even in the
executive departments, only meet with our
approval when they are for the public good.
Parties change, public men change, but .
patriotic and an Independent journal never
changes with regard to the fundamental prn-
the public welfare.
! Rnt. speaking of change-that is, change in
policy, in matters OF tatail and such as do not
strike at the bases Of institutions or society-ali
governments and all statesmen Change what
was once desirable may no longer be attainauie
or applicable. Keeping in view always the
| conservative principle upon which society and
governments rest, we should study to adapt our
| measures to the exigencies Of the time. Let u
| do the best 1--we can under the circumstances
Let US take what we can get, not throw.
ing away present good or opportunity
at the risk Of losing all and for an uncertain
future. These are the views that govern states
men and great, independent journal They
are particularly applicable just now to the con-
dition of our country. These, and these alone,
aud not political parties, govern us in the con-
duct or the HERALD. Such Is Independent jour-
nalism. When our contemporaries become
enlightened enough to comprehend this they
will cease to attack US and follow In our foot
steps.

a movement arranged by General Pfim, with
the consent Of 3 section Of The army, and Of
large portion Of the 1t Progresista,H u or radical

UDonnen, and Of compelling the -Queensof
Spain either. to abdicate, or to surrender her
t6rune to the King OF Portugal, thus uniting
the long divided countries Of the Ihersan
peninsula. The only cry as yet attributed to
the mptineera Is one for the "unitY of IBERIA y
but there may be many other cries which the
Government Is more careful to suppress, and
which, from the strange isolation Of Spain, 1t
has the means of auppressing. These means y
have been unecrupu}ously employed, and the
only opinion therefore which 1t Is as yet safe

TAX ON MANUFACTURES.

The Revenue Commission recommend

ternA1 duties on anutactures-one-balf the
taxes to be rcmitted nov, and the remainder
on The LIT day Of July, 1888. They also Buc.
gcst reduction Of the tariff equal to sso, ,O0o,~
000, without specifying what articles shall be
affected. The tariff, according to the esti-
mate OF the Commission, is now fixed at an
average rate Of iSper cent, and the tax on do:
mestIc manufactures from to IS per cent
In adjusting the proposed reduction We pre-
sumo the Commission intended to recommend
the reduction OF the tar on domestic uaa-
ufacturrs. At MI events, We trust that
the Western members Of Congress will sec to
1t that the reduction Of the tariff shah keep
step with the reduction Of the tax on .domes-
tic manufactures We believe that nobody,
IN this quarter at least, is In favor OF any
u1orc protection than Is now given to the
manufacturing interest Resembling the In
terual taxes on manufactures Ia equivalent to
adding fran to Is per cent to the existing
protection, md 1mlcsa the tariff Ia reduced In
4 corresponding ratio VIC hive no guaranty
thst the consumer will be benefited BY the
abrogation OF the internal Duties.
In connection with the cotton tax Of are cents
per pound, the Commission recommend that a
drawback Of five cents Per pound be allowed
on exported cotton goods 4 drawback is

try. The Government Of the United States
