LETTER FROM mn. BRYANT.
Zine Sculptor Powers on the Proposed
Art Tariff.

Correspondence ON. Y. Evening Post.
FLORENCE, February 25.-The artists here are
much alarmed at the prospect OF heavy duty
TO be Laid by Congress on works of art not by
American artists, imported into the United
States. l enclose a letter from the eminent
sculptor Powers, in which he shows the COnse-
quenCe5 OF such proceeding on the part of our
u overnmelt. That 1t will provoke retaliation
there Is no doubt enterIaInel here; and the
effect Will be to embaTass and distress very
much the artists who are pursuing tnelr studies
III this and other foreign countries. DIscrmi-
mating duties imposed by one Government
always occasion discriminating duties by other
Governments. An export duty on works OF art
sent home by American artists will assuredly
be laid by the Governments of those countries
where the fine arts are most cultivated, and
which will therefore, be most preiudIced by
heavy duty on their works OF art imported into
America.
Another effect of the duty will be to make
works OF art eXorbiiantly dear in the Omitted
States. Only tne very rich wilt be able 10 nave
pictures on their walls. Your millionaire will
not mind the duty; he will have the picture, or
the statue, or the bust which peases mis- fancy,
IN spite Of the impoIt duty laid by our Govern-
ment, or the export duty laid on the works OF
American artists by foreign Governments; the
man OF moderate means will button up his
pockets. The duty will be, therefore, a duty
laid for the discouragement of art. | hope tuat
the protest of Mr.. Powers against the proposed
duty will receive the attention IT deserves. The
artists who asked Tor the measure could not
certainly have toreseen the consequences which
are certain to flow from it,

LETTER FROM MR.. POWERS.

My Dear SiT:-There is a statement in the
New York EUenang Post that Congress is about
10 Jay very heavy duty on foreign works of
art; so high, indeed, as TO shut out, for the
most part, foreigners from competition with
native artists at home. But however this may
be- it's effect would be disastrous 10 American
artists in Florence, for 1t Is already threatened
here TO lay an export duty on our works, in
retaliation for tho duty already imposed on
Italian art. l have talked with one Of the
representatives IN the Italian Parliament on
this subject, who says that while mere copies of
paintings or sculptures may properly be taxed
he thinks that original lCOrks by 8U3pq artists
ought to go tIee OF duty into America as they
do in France and England; and the Government
here would not complain OF such law. OF
course we American artists here feel much
anxiety on this matter. There is no hope for us il
Congress increases the duty. We SHALL all have
to leave here; for an export duty would tax our
works Tor America not only, but everywhere
else and we could not live here. 1t is possible
that the Government might be induced to re-
taliate by an import duty on American produce
petroleum, for instance-which would be
more lust than an export duty on the works of
a few Americans in Florence. Ihere are no
other of our artists in italy, If except III Rome
and not under this Government. Thus you WIN
perceive that an act which may ne sport TO those
ARTISTS at home who have petitloned CONGRESS;
If passed by Congress would prove death 70 al
our hopes here. And surely II is an advantage
to art in America that some of US should come
abroad and study here. The intention cannot
be to provoke hostility towards us on the parl
of foreign artists aud foreign Governments.
have no doubt that the Roman Govern
ment will follow suit If the Italian
Government sets the example of retaliation
And does our revenue require high duty OIL
IridindL works of great masters abroad? or is il
that the petitioners desire TO compel our people
10 buy their pictures, or have no pictures a.
anY I do not know If we Americans are no
also included in the high duty proposed: and i
SO. then our case will be desperate indeed. W.
s6aii have TO run the gauntlet getting out o
Italy with our works; and also in getting int
a. baad and fail of oar voyage, 1t seems to M
fbattSe n at present plan is not a wise one. 1t
SjsbIv caIcniated 10 provoke retaliation. w
