The CURRENCY,

A Washington correspondent says Of the
late speech of Mr., MORRILL,, of Maine, on
the proposition to reduce the great volume
of currency now ahoat that it is as full of
striking points as any that has been made
since the session began. He shows to Con-
gress and the country that this is matter
Of far greater urgency than the schemes
about which the members are consuming
precious time. One fact brought into prom
inence by him deserves repetition; the
amount of paper currency in use in 1862
was only S1s4OOO,00O, whereas it is now
nearly one thousand millions, or fire times
as much! And his query is a searching
one, whether the business of the country is
so much greater now than it was then, as
to demand such vast expansion of paper
money to carry it. No one who knows
anything abOutit will answer affirmatively.
Then why permit such useless body of
currency to be aioat only to make prices
ruinously uncertain and to remain as a sort
of reserve force ready for the use of specu-
lation?

HOW the Tariff Works.

From one Of our exchanges we clip the
following Interesting article;
Say the cost Of making yard of cotton
cloth a eight cents, the tariff Is six cents
per yard. An English vessel arrives In
Boston, freighted with cotton cloth. The
owner steps on shore and inquiries what the
duty is. He Is told that Il Is six cents per
yard. This added TO the original cost Of
the cloth, makes II cost him fourteen cents,
aud the expense Of bringing II across the
Atlantic one more, so that when he gets
to the market with his cloth, he Is Obliged
TO charge fifteen cents per yard 10 get his
money back, and TO make any profit he
will have to charge seventeen cents for his
cargo. A Loweltrmanufacturer steps up
aud offers his g0ods, Just as good, for
fifteen cents. two cents less than the Inn
porter can sell at the result is that the inn
porter withdraws from the oustom-house
and departs with his cargo. lie pays no
duty to the Government, and yet the man
who buys the Lowell mans cloth pays
seven cents more per yard than It would
have cost him had there not been duty on
e. And the Lowell man pockets the
amount. lie gets the tariff and not the
Government. sr.
This is no fiction; IL is exactly the case.
Hence we derive no revenue from this
class of goods, the duty being prOhibitory,

laborer-pay seven cents tax on every yard
of cotton cloth they buy, and It all goes to
the manufacturer. Hence the high price
OF cotton goods, and not a cent. of this adj
ditional price goes TO pay the public debt.
This will hold good on nearly every thing
the farmer uses, on all his implements of
wood, iron, steel and brass Their prices
are enhanced and yet no revenue accrues
to the Government from them because the
high duties exclude foreign competition.
Thus 1t will be seen that in addition to the
S500000000 paid to the Government, fully
as much more is paid TO Eastern manufac-
tureB.
Such is the tariff as 70 the manufacturer.
There are some among us who think the
system good one. But If good system
for manufacturers, why is it not equally as
good for agriculturists Suppose an En-
glish vessel arrives in Boston freighted with
foreign WOOL and ties up TO the wharf side
by side with the vessel freighted with cot
ton cloth why is the owner of one cargo
permitted to sell his load without paying
duty, while the owner of one cargois taxed
q hundred per cent. for the privilege?
Those Western farmers and workmen who
have just voted to retain the high tariff
party In power, can have the use of our
columns to answer
