The Tariff laigrity.

X Is sad that the new tariff bill con-
tains three mysterious items, which
read as follows:
''On timed iron, known as tin plates.
and on iron or tin plates galvanized and
on iron coated with zine or any other
metal, two and half cents per pound
= Palm and cocoanut oil. free.
Tin in pigs, bars or blocks, free"
The present duty on the plate is
twenty-five per cent. or one and one
third cents per pound, and yields annu-
ally about 5000, 600 in gold revenue
to the government. Tin in PIGS, bars
or blocks, pays duty of fifteen per
cent. in gold. The manufacturers of
tin ware in this country have remon-
strated against this increase of tax OH
tin plates, and as that article has never
been made in the United States, there
Las been an inquiry Why TIE committee
proposed the change
The New York EEorH explains the
whole operation. 1t appears that the
manufacture of tin plates is a specially
with Welsh, and though Welsh me-
chanics were brought over to the Uni
ted States, some years ago, to make
them here, the enterprise failed To
make tin plates there are these essential
qualities: thin rolled sheets, tin, and
then cleaning it with palm oil One
Mr. MeDanicls, constituent Of Kelly
and Cake, proposes to try to manuiac-
ture tin plates, and as a preliminary,
Kelly proposes to let McDariels have
bis p;g tin free, and high palm oil free,
and that the tax on imported tin plates
shall be doubled, so that he can have a
monopoly Of the market. The revenue
on these three articles, amounting to
$4,000, 900 per year. is TO be discontin-
ued, and the public are to be required
to pay that amount Of tax to MeDaniels
1t must be remembered that this action
of the committee of ways and means in
cutting of 81 800, 000 of revenue and
doubling the tax on every tin pan in
the country for the pers 3nal benefit or
within Of one .nan Is not to protect any
industry now III existence. but designed
wholly to enable this man ia Pennsyiva-
MA 10 try an experiment. The tin
wares of forty millions Of people are to
lac taxed, not for revenue, bat to helo
McDaniels to commence business This
is another illustration Of how tariffs are
made. and now the whole business of
taxation is arranged to extort money
from the people, not for the government
but to enrich private insividuals.

Citizen.

The gentlemen writing for the Re
pvJhcGn. over the signature Of Citizen
must excuse US from entering into a
controversy with him. He is too deep
and TOO prolific fer liz. We have read
his articles before now, and know to
what fearful tengths he will 90 when he
gets started. We are sorry he called
us bad names and grew witty ct our ex-
pense and has commenced arguing the
famous. case Of state VS. Wheeler-for
we fear he never viii stop. His talent
and leisure are both so extensive that
he is liable to make writing his pro.
fession hereafter.
For the information that democrats
arc indignant" and he is likely to start
a paper that the " democracy need not
blush to own" (you know the democracy
is to purchase and he to manage the
new organ, and therefore the democracy
= owning" OF course will not 9 blush }
we are very grateful, as we can now
govern ourselves accordingly, and sell
out before the day of wrath. We are
sorry now that the g citizen does not
own third of the DEMOCRAT Office
We are at loss, however, to imagine
Why the q Citizen" the RepuLltcan and
the Md'anion insist on dragging pol
tiles into the case Of state VS. Wheeler
ct al.
We have never attempted it, and
they all know it, though they repeatedly
charge us with having done 50. We
ask, if We have, in what artical or
expression did we do so?
Please, gentlemen, refresh our
recollection, or take the credit upon
yourselves of trying to use the power
full engine of political prejudice to
punish men before conviction, and to
govern court of justice.

Tie RciGss oG I'error--s 'eE. f.esS-
ing Fise;r Guilt.

The process Of developing the mean
ness Of radicalism works slow when We
consider the enormity OF It's crimes, but
It Is sure, nevertheless. While those
who are guilty of the criminal acts de-
manded by radicalism may escape just
punishment according to our laws. for
their crimes. it seems to have been de-
creed By an all-wise Providence that
their consciences should never be al
rest.
At no time in our c9untry's history
was the spirit Of Intolerance more ram
pant and oppressive than Immediately
succeeding the death Of President In

culed By a reckless adyentUrer, was
seized upon by tbs leaders Of the Re
publican party in ali parts Of the north

who were obnoxious to them politically.
In many places prominent democrats

THE editor of the Herald, without
taking the beam out Of the eye Of his
party, discovers quickly the mote in that
Of the Democratic party, in the person
Of Mr. Wheeler, of Plymouth The IN
ference intended by the UcroH is un-
Just and uncalled for, and can rebound
with more force upon his own party, if
they be proper. For instance in what
particular does the case of Mr.. Wheeler
differ from that which occurred in La
porte some eighteen months ago, in
which prominent radicals were implica-
ted by the victim, an innocent, coniiding
German girl, and the parties we believe
have never been tried; whereas the
Plymouth Democrat says Wheeler is
implicated by an irresponsible party. If
parties are to shoulder the sins Of indi-
vidual members, then look out. Radical
ism will have an overwhelming load.
Persons charged with crime are pre-
sumed to be innocent until proven and
found guilty. If Wheeler is proven
guilty. we trust he will suffer the full
extent of the law, regardless of his po-
litical views. And if it is desired to
saddle individual sins on parties, we
have plenty OF material to work on in
the radical ranks-MonticelIo Coastitu-
HOH0liSt.

We noticed Hugh Rose and p S.
Alcman on our streets few days ago
They did not look as though they were
fleeing from justice, as the Plymouth
Repubhcaa, and other radical papers,
would have us believe From this dis
lance it would appear that much OF the
luminosity of these papers is worked up
Tor political capital. This is most en-
phatically wrong. If the parties ac-
cused of crime are guilty let the fact be
proved, and all the punishment inflicted
by law mcted out to them The friends
and former associates Of those who are
accused should not be held responsible,
and the effort to make political capital
out of the case is disgraceful.--Laportc
Argss.
As it has not yet been charged, to our
knowledge, that the Argus has been
bought by WHEELER and VlNALL,
its opinion should have some weight
with those who differ from us.
