We are surprised to find SO acute fnan-
cier as the Hon. Freeman Clarke, of New
York, repeating tie error which has OBJ
tained singular prevalence IN some quar-
tens, that the premium on gold was an ad-
dition to the tariff, and TINT the decline In
the premium on go1dis, consequently, fall
In the rate Of duties on imported goods.
The duties on imports are given percent
age on their gold value, if ad ealoren, or
a specific sun per yard, pound, or bushel
In either case tie rate Of duty is precisely
the same, whether the value Of greanback
is 90 cents OF SO cents per dollar It is tue
that, when the premium on gold rose, manu-
facturers' prices for wares rose with gold,
while the cost of their labor and many of
their raw materials did not rise until long
afterward. In this manner they nede
money, not because tho rate of tariff WIS
increased by the premium on gold, but be-
cause the prices of what theT had to sell
rose faster than the prices Of what they had
to buy Now that gold is falling, manufac-
turers feel q depression, not because the
rates Of customs duties arechanged thereby.
but because the prices Of the product de-
cline much sooner than the prices Of the
labor and raw materials which enter into
the cost Of their production. -

lection OF one corporation, and at the e1-
Penso of 1000, 900 Of people. If this ta1

y WILL have an exclusive market, and will
demand It's own prices for the inferior ar
ticle.
Drop black and Indian red are nada of
ivory shaTings and scrap iron. These
naterials are so heavily taxed in this coun-
try TINT the manufacture Of the paints can
not be profitable. Instead Of reducing the
tax On the raw material, and thereby en-
couraging the home manufacture Of the
paints, the Committee Of Ways and Means
propose to ta1 the whole public, by increas
ing the duty from 25 per cent to 50 per
cent. Here is another illust.atio ion of The
policy Of taxing the many to benefit the
few. There is no demand for these articles
sufficient to justify their nanufactura
alone; but they might be made in conjunc-
lion with other articles. But the materials
are not taxed in foreign countries, and the
foreign manufacturer can, therefore, afford
to sell the paints almost IS cheap, per
pound, in the United States as the. cost Of
the raw material in this country. If scrap
1ron and ivory shnvings, which yield but
little revenue, were unta1ed, these paints
could be proftabiy made in this country,
end the public would have cheap paints.
But, instead of doing that, the committee
treble the tax on the foreign paints, and
make all who have to use them pay the
difference in the price.

The New York Tribune says that the
opponents of the existing tariff "did their
worst TO elect United States Senator from,
Iowa last winter, and were handsomely
thrashed-the Hon. George G. Wright,
who will take Governor Grimes place on
the 4th of March next, being an ayowed
protecfonist-"
We undertake to say that the tariff ques-
tion WIS not an Issue in the recent SEN
atorial election in Iowa, and that very few
persons, in or ont of that State, knew or
even inquired what were the views of Mr..
Wright on that subject before the election.
He WIS supported by several newspapers
that have uniformly opposed the cheat and
delusion which goes by the name
Of protection. And We venture to
predict that, when he takes his seat in Con-
gress, he will either incur the hostility of
the New York Tribune by his sotes on the
tariff question, or will incur that of his sovn
State in a very decided aud. UNPLEASANT
manner. a1r. Wright declared himself, af-
ter his election, in favor of "protection to
manufactures, giving, rs the principal rea-.
son therefor, that it had been part of his
"boyhood faith" Whether he was in
favor of protection to pig iron to the ex-
tent Of nine dollars per ton, or only 1--WE
dollars, he did not say. II he continues
to govern himself By. his boyhood faith, he.
will probably conclude that Ave dollars per
ton is enough.
