CIRCULATION OF THE CITY PRESS
THE TARIFF AGAIN

The protectionists had il all their own way
I'm the House of Representatives yesterday: and
as there seems to be a regular system of log
rolling going on, in which most Of the men,
bers are concerned, each voting for his neigh
bor's speciality, with the understanding that
the favor will be reciprocated: we pres ume
that so far as Congress is concerned the inter-
ests of consumers are to be sacrificed to those
OF manufacturers and dealers with large stocks
on hand, who will be benefited by the in
creased rates. Yesterday it was agreed to
further protect window glass, (tcxing day.
A9ht.) fire bricks, books and engravings,
bristol board. salt, behring's, skins, shoe
bindings. &c. The tax on herriags and salt
will bear with peculiar hardship on the
poor man but who cares Thus, Mr. Pat
terson, yesterday, moved to reduce the duty
on imported books from 20 10 10 per cent.
because the persons who required the kind OF
books referred TO were chiefly poor scholars,
who must either get their books cheap
or else forego them altogether He
contended that II was due to the inter-
ests OF education. due TO the rising genera.
ton, who were TO be our lawyers and our leg
islators hereafter, that no such obstacle should
be placed by Congress in the way of their i'm. :.
prOvement a. that involved in a high duty
upon foreign books.
But the advocate of poor scholars was yery
promptly voted down. why Because some
body had 10 be protected Some of the New
England manufacturing companies have de-
clared dividends of only forty and forty. five
per cent for the year past. The Chlcopee has
declared the latter, and the Pacific NJ Ills twen-

cessity FOR further protecting these interests is
clear, even il the operatives have to pay two
