I Here the American manufacturer gets
the entire profit of the duty, and the fur
ther from tide-water, the more is this the
case. This iron monopoly is very severe
upon our railroads. Test this matter your

usually, this result is attained. =.

but also the expenditures. Besides it will
not be disputed that much of the money is
expended for unrighteous objects and paid
to corrupt men. That branch of the sub
ject has, however, been ably discussed by
Judge Ranney, and our business is with
those branches of our, finances which are
not officially reported, and to which the
public eye has been too little directed.
The first of these are the official stealinos.

1t may be claimed that I should deduct
the internal revenue paid from the protec-
tive tax levied, but as do not count pre-
MUM on gold, which would be over Sl2S,-
100000, or more than double the internal
tax, 1 think the amount right as it stands.
1t may be well, also, to add that the an
nnal product does not essentially differ
from that reported in the census of 1860; I;
and L have no doubt the actual annual pro-
ducti much larger than that reported un-
der the internal revenue tax.
Should any one doubt the correctness of
my calculations, would only invite him
to this simple calculations: If six per cent.
internal revenue tax, payable in paper
money, produces ffty-seven and three
fourths millions, how much will forty
per cent. tariff tax, payable in gold. pro-
duce? And if any one is at a loss to figure
it out, go to any common school and get
any scholar in the rule-of-three class to
figure it out for you; or, if your mind is
still wavering, work out this question:
Who is most likely to get the entire tax
the internal revenue Government officer,
or the manufacturer and merchant? NY
own opinion is. that the latter are the
sharpest tax gatherers of the two, for they
keep all they get; are, therefore, working
for themselves, while the public officer
only collects for the Government.
My anxiety to arrive at the exact truth
in this matter, led me TO try the question
by other tests, of which will give one of
many similar ones. One of the heaviest
iron firms in New York quotes railroad

OLD MUSIC,

Back from the misty realms Of Time
Back from the years agone
Family We catch the ringing rhyme,
And hear tie melody and chime
On olden songs, Of strains sublime,
Like the carol Of birds at dawn
And ever hear them soft and low,
Harping their music sweet,
Songs that we loved in the long ago,
Eippling their liquid ebb and flow.
Drifting their cadence TO and fro,
Like the fall Of fairy feet
Some faces our hearts viii ever hold.
Some smiles may remember yet
There were flowing locks like the sunsets gold,
There were parted lips Of Cupid's mould.
And the songs they sung can ne'er grow old,
For our hearts can neer forget.
All, welladay, It's story past,
Which may not tel again,
Twas happiness to sweet TO last;
The heavy elods on her grave are cast
And her voice is stilled and above her, fast
