The most notable instance of self-stultiti- J.
cation on this subject is furnished by the
:. free trade" Chicago Tribune. There IS
lust now movement to increase the list OF
goods whose importation is allowed free of
duty, and the Tribune, referring to this re-
Gently, said
sThe tariff jobbers at Washington are
telling the country that they propose to
ameliorate the taxation by adding to the list
of free goods number of articles which are
not produced in the United States, and which
therefore, pay duty, and are source OF
revenue. This is no relief from taxation,
because the revenue thus lost will have to be
collected from other objects.
Now, this is precisely analogous to the ar
gument of the opponents of free trade, VIZ I;
that the revenue lisa necessity to the Govern
ment, and that lost by the abrogation OF du-
ties ON imports would necessarily 6 have to
be collected from other objects Is, by
direct taxation. And if, as employed by the
Tribune, it is good argument against an
increase Of the list, it is evidently still bet,
ter argument against entire free trade, or any
general approach TO it.
But the hostility of the Tribune to the
changes proposed has deeper significance
| than anpears on the surface. AL or nearly
all, of the articles proposed to be placed OIL
the free list are imported for the use of manu-
facturers, and would enable Americans to
compete to greater advantage with foreigr
manufacturers. But the Tribune, true tt
the instincts which have ever induced it Il
oppose the interests of the former to the ad
vantage of the latter, opposes the measure
apparently on that account. .-n1,ran9Hett

lars of an attempt by man named Wm. h. LII

"On Christmas day, annmbcr OF men were out

yery much intoxicated one of the party told him
that bolt in the buggy was broken, and that, ii

THE I'M US1ICE DONE MRS.
STT1 WE

A good woman. of heroic labors in behalf
of many great endeavors, Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe deserved far better at the
hands of liberal American newspapers, than
she has received. Certainly whatever her
verboseness, or her feebleness of argument, or
her faults of style, all of which have been so
freely charged against her Byron article and
book, she did not deserve the contumely,
Iidicule, and Misrepresentation, which
large portion of these journals have recently
thrown at her. For their intemperancc,
their indecency, nay, their brutality, we
can find no explanation or excuse; their
conduct has amazed us.
For Mrs. Stowe may have shown bad
taste, in publishing her stories about Byron,
at all. If SO, in that degree, she may
be condemned. But she sincerely believed
she ought to do SO. OF this, no one who
appreciates her character can doubt. And
the reasons she assigns for the step are at
least plausible. Then her indiscretion must
be to a large degree pardonable; let lis
pass that question, leaving whatever Of
ground remains uncertain to her opponents.
What next?
| Nobody doubts, surely, that Lady Byron
distinctly stated to Mrs. Stowe, that hei
husband had been criminal with his sister,
Lady Byron says, he, himself, told her So
What then2
Mrs. Stowe asserts and to our satisfaction
it is proven, that Lady Byron was incapable
of maliciously inventing the story; that sh'
was of sound mind and therefore could no
have imagined it; and that her subsequen
treatment Of Mrs Leigh can be explained oil
the supposition that for some time-possibl,
some years-she believed that the sister hat
not yielded to the brothers criminal advan
ces.
What, then, remains, wherein Mrs
Stowe has so erred2 Was she wrong il
saying anything about the foul family? Pos
sibly, she was. but she had large, if not tul
justification. Has she failed to fairly prov
her case 1t is difficult to perceive The poir
of failure. Has she done injury to th
memory of Byron? Surely. nothing ca
blacken his biography,
Let us, then dismiss the subject. 1t is Mt
, a pleasant one. But, in doing SO, we sa
: once more, with perfect plainness, that IL
personal attacks upon Mrs. Stowe, by mar
generally liberal newspapers, have bee
shameful, disgusting, and without possib
: excuse. She has done nothing to call f
such incorporate and wholesale criticism

Relative Payment ~ Men ana women.

In General Spinner's recent report to the
Secretary of the Treasury, he makes some
strong statements in relation TO the female
clerks employed by the Government, and
incidentally supplies proof OF some of the
assertions made by the advocates of suffrage
for women. After stating that all the cou-
pons and all the mutiated United States
notes and fractional currency are assorted,
and prepared for destruction by female
clerks, he adds that they not only do tb cir
work better, but also do more in given
time than male clerks, who receive double
the salary, possibly can. To prove this the
temale clerks were required to recount the
work of the male clerks, and it was found
that they not only corrected errors in the
count, but that they detected counterfeits
that had not before been discovered, or
known to any person connected with the
Treasury Department, Washington or else
where. and which had been overlooked by
the male clerks in the offices where they
were originally received, and by those in
this office who had counted them. But for
the discovery of these counterfeit coupons,
the Government would have suffered great
loss. Washington and Philadelphia, he
states, are the only offices where female
clerks arc employed, and the best work is
done in these offices by these clerks. III
has been remarked here, all along, that
the remittances of mutilated currency tc
his office from the office in Philadelphia
are better prepared, more neatly done up
with less mistakes in count and containing
less counterfeiis than those from any other
office. The reason is that that office
