a.aae AID vALoREm DUTIES.

Our tariffs, even when protective, have gen.
orally been framed for us by British influence.
They have been smashed in the name of Free
Trade by that same influence four times within
fifty years. When most protective Of American
industry, they have been constructed full Of
holes through the ad ralorem principle of valua-
ton, so as to let the foreign importers shove in
their goods more or less free of duty. 1t will
astonsh the public to know that our present
Tariff has z, ,439 ad palorem duties, and only 475
that are specific; while the British, who are
coaxing, arguing, bribing, and clamoring
to US to give them Free Trade, have
only l3l ad ralorem duties In their tariff,
and make it constant special study in theiS
revenue service how to diminish their number
and to entirely get rid of them. They have fol-
centuries gauged the importing conscience, and
held their noses while CustOm-House oaths
were being taken, and know that in whatsOeves
tariff is an ad ralorem duty through that
differentiation and perjury will persistently
endeavor to cheat the revenue. The Congresa
will be immortal for patriotic service to itS
country which, in revising the tariff, will pluck
up by the roots forever the ad rdlorsm principle.
and require foreigners to pay specific duties BY

demand for distilled spirits for the manufacture
of spurious liquors, wines, cordials, bitters, &c.
The report says:
"For the manufacture Of 'imi,ssion sfnes' the
demand for distilled spirits has also heretofore been
very large; four firms in the City Of New York having
reported to the Commission o consumption OF 223 600
gallons Of pure spirits for this purpose during the year
1861"
About twenty per cent. is the proportion Of
spirits used: so that we have from four firms
alone nearly two millions Of gallons Of this
horrid mixture palmed off for consumption
There are probably not less than three hundred
firms engaged in this debasing traffic
Again: it is shown that the importations OF
opium, Indian hemp, and other narcotic and
intoxicating drugs, were largely increased; and
it is evident that their use is but another way Of
adulterating spirtuous liquors. Of their effect
upon the popular health, not less than the popu-
lar morals, there can be no two opinions A
distinguished physician testifes in regard to
them:
There is large and inereasins ella. Of proprietary

These considerations, and especially the facil'
tiles for evadng the excise duties, are powerful
arguments for reducing the tax upon the manu-
facture and if needful placing additional restrc-
tions upon its sale, by licenses both for whole
sale and retail purposes. There will be too
much whisky drunk in any event; but the
chances are that the higher tax will only add to
the quantity.

sAVAGR AND CIVILIZED.

We had not long since very pretty tale from
New-Zealand. The Hon. Hone Wetere, native
magistrate-his English name, of all names in
tho world, is John Wesey-tried an ancient
Maori female for witchcraft, found her guilty, OF
course, and with his own judicial hands incon-
tinently dscapitated the unfortunate old lady.
The Hon. Hone Wetere is, it seems, q conserva-
tive. The radical missionaries have, no doubt,
told him that witchoraft is all stuff and non
sense; but Hone knows better than that. 1t is
a part Of his religion to believe in it; 1t is a
part of his politics to believe in it; 1t is part
of his social science to believe in it; and, doubt.
less. he does not deem this world worth living
in unless, when he discovers a witch, he ia TO
have the privilege of making her shorter by a
head without delay. He only follows the law
as established by his ancestors. He only plants
himself firmly against innovation. He believes,
the pious man, that when witches can keep
their heads upon their shoulders, tho wreck Of
matter and the crash Of worlds may be eI.
pected at an early date.
We hold Mr.. Justice Wetere in great con.
tempt; but very respectable folk at this end oil
the world are quite as worthy Of our indignant
censure. Perhaps Wetere has heard from
Jamaica-who knowsl Perhaps he thought
that, when an English pro-cOnsul, taking coun-
sci of his fears or of his prejudices, carried
slaughter through whole district. hanging by
wholesale, and even treating himself to the
delicacy Of q suspended clergyman-perhaps
when Wetere heard this (Which The London
Punch considers an excellent joke) he thought
It hard if he could not be INDUCED in the murder
of one single old woman. No matter what he
thought! He did the deed; he extirpated the
witch: and we do not see why the English
Tories should not send him out silver broad

guished consideration.

TuR TAX ON WHISKY.


nently fit subjects for taxation. As luxuries,
they ought to yield public revenue, and as
baleful agents of intemperance and crime, they
should be taxed both in manufacture and sale,
40 as 10 restrict their use aud offset the ruin
they work. Every civilized government raises
q large revenue from these sources: Great
Britain having collected in various shapes, in
1865, no less than f23, LAG, ,96l-more than
$3.50. 600, 900 in coin or about one-third Of her
total revenue. In Russia, the Government has
monopoly Of :he production and sale of spir-
its, from which she derived, in 1864, $685. $50, ,OOO
or nearly 81 per cent. of her total revenue.
France, in 1868, raised from liquors ,21l ,l23, ,4ol
francs, or over twelfth other public income.
The Commission which has been surveying
the domain of taxable expedents has issued an
interesting Special Report on Distilled Spirits,
in which the subject is examined at length from
the several stand-points Of Revenue, Industry,
Morals and Hygiene. 1t is Of opinion, from
home and foreign testimony, that the imposition
of high tax does not materially decrease the
average consumption for drinking purposes
Illicit distillation, smuggling and fraudulent
returns, ,counteract the restrictions of high tax.
II is found also, that, above certain ascertain
able rate of tax, every addition results in an
actual decrease Of revenue, without lessening
the consumption.
What, then, is the highest available point OF
taxation for revenue purposes The Commits
sion recommends a reduction of the tax on
spirits from 80 per gallon to 81 The grounds
for this proposition are numerous, and some OF
them gather weight with consideration.
First of all, as question Of Revenue. it is found
impracticable to collect the tax now imposed.
The revelations Of Illicit dstllation in this city
of late reveal the great loss to the public in.
como and the corupting influences on public
morals. A tax of one dollar, assimilating to the
Canadian duty, would curtail this practice, and
also have the effect Of stopping smuggling across
the border. The average consumption of the
country Is between forty and fifty millions OF
gallons per annum. 1t appears that the sum re-.
ceved for taxes on spirits in the first year,
ls64-5, was only sixteen millions; and it is
doubted if. with the present rates, more than
twenty five millions will be realized for the cur
rent year. The tax of 81 is relatively higher
than that imposed by any other Government;
for though the British tax is ten shillings gal
Ion (imperal) of high proof, it is really lower
and relatively seventy per cent. less on the first
cost Of production.
Beside this, the article Of alcohol enters
largely into the mechanical arts in the prepara-
of gums, drugs, tinctures, varnishes. and the
like. To accommodate this industrial interest,
the British Government has permitted alcohol,
when untitled by nauseous preparation for
drinking purposes, to be sold untaxed. The
high price of alcohol has already had the effect
of crippling several branches Of manufacture
and sending abroad for the products.
A mora serious consideration however, Is the

stitious notions in doing 30, of enchanting the
recipient, Of bewitching him to death, or to
dumbness, or of hardening his heart, or Of
soaring him into an abandonment of his views
upon the Suffrage question. The beastly
wretches in Mississippi who slaughter and burn

spell has fallen upon Slaveholding-the evil
eye of civilization has smitten 1.-THE glory of
the violent has departed; and they stupidity hope
to rekindle it by offering up sacrifices to the
Devil their master, by shooting, roasting, maim-
ing torturing, by every invention Of cruelty
and torment. Still in their decadence fingers
their ancient ferocity. Still to whip, to starve
and to strangle-stil to hunt, to shoot and to
stab-still to treat Gods image as wild beasts
are treated-stll. in defiance Of law, to keep
up semblance Of renless and irresponsible
power-these are the precious consultations OF
obdurate and enraged traitors Is it asked
what these wrctches expect to gain by such
Heaven-defying, law-defymg actsl How do
we knowi Perhaps nothing more than the inn
mediate qualification of their low instincts and
the instant solace of their undying hate. Des-
peration never reasons. They may hope to
frighten us back to a quasi patronage OF the
old iniquity. They may think to worry the
Blacks into rebellion which would
leave them at the mercy Of every hard
hand and harder heart. They may have no
other motive than that which drives the starved
tiger upon his prey. They have a lively faith
in wickedness. They conceive that precious
virtue is latent in monstrous crimes. They be-
lieve that some deity will take them in keeping
if only they dabble their hands often enough in
human blood. 'Tis an old delusion, confined
to no quarter Of the globe-as rife and as ram
pant in Richmond as in Africa-the delusion of
believing that justice can be crushed by the
ead-weight of wickedness, if only it be deadly
enough and sufficiently weighty. Power is
pleasant TO the powertul--revenge is sweet
the heart of man is desperately wicked-wrong
resorts naturally to physical force; always has
since Cain accomplished the primal homicide.
The tragedy of it is, that killing goes on under
the shadow of Christian churches-that civilized
nations sanction public deeds which, ifthey were
private, would make busy work for the hangman
and his halter--that, run as fast as we may, we
can never outrun the selfshness which would
reap without sowing, and the spurious philoso-
ply which finds right in might. The blood
smeared Maori in his nakedness-the Governor
Of Jamaica in his uniform-the Mississippi
planter in bis linen coat and Panama hat-the
came savage soul is in all three! The labor
of amcliorating human affairs is ceaseless-let
us be thankful that History proves that 1t Is
not altogether hopeless
