debt and its current expenses. and II could
not do this very well without a duty on Inn
ports. Here, then, the fiscal consideration
overcomes that of free trade. Necessity proves
superior to principle. This is an advantage,
undoubtedly, to the manufacturer; but it must
not be inferred that protection per Sc is right
or good policy. A tariff for revenue only is a
different thing from protective tariff. This
is distinction that the party press does not
make. On ono side protection is advocated as
a sound principle Of political economy, and on
the other free trade. without considering the
fiscal necessities Of the government. At pre-
sent we cannot do without q revenue tariff,
however unequally that may operate upon
different classes and sections; but as free
trade would be most beneficial to the mass of
the people and lead to the greatest aggregate
production, the true policy Is to approximate
to that as steadily as the financial condition of
the government will admit. The legislation of
Congress ought to be in accordance with such
views.

To-Day's Total Solar Eclipse.

The American eclipse of August T. 1869,
and the Indian eclipse of 1868 were in several
respects more important than the total solar
eclipse of December %, 1870, is expected to
be. That of 1868 was specially distinguished
by the exceptional extent to which the lunar
disc overlapped, during central totality, the
concealed disc of the Sun. At some stations
no direct solar light was visible for more than
six minutes. The eclipse Of last year was less
distinguished in this way, although the dura-
ton of totality at some stations exceeded four
minutes. But what rendered the American
eclipse extremely important, even more inn
portant than the Indian eclipse, was the fact
that large proportion of the track Of the
Moons shadow lay across region dotted over
with we'll armed observatories. At many
stations where it was carefully observed, from
Alaska to North Carolina, the atmospheric
conditions were peculiarly favorable. Accord
ing to Mr. Proctor, Fellow Of the Royal
Astronomical Society, it is probable that on
no previous occasion had SO large an array
of practised observers been employed in scru-
tinizing the phenomena of total eclipse;
and it is absolutely certain that 80 many
appliances had never before been employed
to render the researches Of the observers
effective.
But in both respects to-day's total eclipse is
less important. The greatest duration of total
observation will be but two minutes and eleven
seconds; and the track of the Moons shadow
only skirts the region within which the prin-
cipal European observatories are situated. In
fact, the only parts of Europe traversed by
the shadow are the southern provinces of
Spain and Portugal, Sicily, the southern ok
tremity of Italy, aud parts Of Greece and Tnr-
key. And of these regions only those in the
Spanish peninsula and Sicily are practically
available, because in the others the duration
of totality will be less and the Sun will have,
but small elevation. The best places fpr
observing the eclipse will undoubtedly he
those along or near the track of to.alitytin
Algeria.
The scientific party sent to the MeAiter-
ranean by the United States government, and
whose arrival at Lisbon, en- route for Sicily,
we announced last week, will probably{have
large and honorable share In the obsef vatioas
to be made of to-days eclipse. the plans Of
several European governments ftf sending
out similar expeditions haring fbeen inter
fered with by the Fra hco-Prussian
war. Both the American and Eng
lish observers will be amply provided
with the best means for making spectroscopy,
polariscopy, photography and general osserva-
lions contribute to the objects which they
have in view. Their main Object will be to
determine the nature OF the Corona. Astrono-
mefs have been looking forward to the
eclipse of to-day as likely to supply the
first really reliable information yet obtained
respecting the polarization, Of the corona. Mr..
Proctor has expressed his opinion that the
chief promise Of the expedition which was to

An Independents Philuael phia Scheme.


Philadelphia, it appears, has resolved to
establish an American line of steamers to
Liverpool, and the wiseheads and capitalists
of the coal and iron State have combined upon
this question. A railroad company is at the
head Of the movement, and the basis of sue
cess, it seems, is placed upon the capacity of
the railroads to bring produce from the West
at lower freights than the New York railroads
are doing. Now this is a question of compe-
tition between the railroads of the two States,
to the success of the new transatlan-
tic line. That New York has no American
line Of steamers running from this port to
Europe is deplorable fact. 1t is more than
this-it is a reproach to our spirit Of enter
prise. If Philadelphia Is fortunate enough to
establish paying line, SO much the better.
However, the scheme seems to be at present to
a certain extent inchoate. No company has
been organized, but at the same time there
seems to be considerable capital realized by
subscription. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, who are the controlling spirits, sub
scribed four hundred thousand dollars, and the
Board Of Trade contributed on behalf of the
merchants of the city half million dollars.
1t is proposed to build four iron steamers of
two thousand eight hundred tons, two of them
to be constructed at Wilmington and two on
the Delaware somewhere contiguous to Pnila-
delphia.
All this looks as if our provincial neighbors
meant something practical. The funny part
of it is that the projectors of the scheme are
so determined that it shall be Philadelphia
enterprise pure and simple that they have
resolved that the village Of New York shall
have no hand in it. New Workers, we pre-
sumo, cannot even buy stock in the company
when the company is formed; yet it is not at
all unlikely that New York capital will take a
hand in, and pretty full one, too, if the enter
prise carries any color Of success about it.
1t is an excellent thing to see the prospect
of an American line of steamships, built in
our own ports and carrying our own flag, sail
ing once again upon the Atlantic. If this
enterprise succeeds the whole country may
well be proud Of it. But what has New York
to say in the matter? Is she going to play
the laggard forever?

Another Chance for Cuba.

From the present appearance of things in
Spain the advent of the new King from Italy
will be the signal for revolutionary outbreaks
80 formidable and extensive as to make it i'm
possible for the government at Madrid to send
another ship or another regiment to the Cuban
Captain General for the suppression of the
instruction. Indeed, it is possible that
General Prim, with his new King, may soon
be SO entangled in his revolutionary Difficult
ties at home as to be compelled to get rid Of
the island of Cuba in order to raise the sinews
Of war or to save himself by an ignominious
fight from Spain. Meanwhile, the condition
Of things in the Peninsula is such as to war;
rant the opinion that no achievements to any
extent can be sent to Valmaseda for months
to come, and 80 the Cubans themselves may
be able to change the fortunes of their
struggle in favor Of the separation of the
island from Spain. AS for General Grant, we
can hardly expect much from him in behalf Of
Cuba, when he finds it SO difficult to get the con-
sent of the Senate to paltry million or two for
the splendid island Of ST. Domingo. The Cubans
mast fight their own battle, and in carefully
watching the course of events In Spain they
may yet fight it cut to complete success.

Speech Of the Emperor OF Germany.


The speech which King William Of Prussia
delivered to the members Of the National
Deputation who presented him with the Parlia-
mentary confederated resolution bestowing on
him the rank and title OF Emperor Of Germany
is reported yerbosim by cable telegram in our
columns. The language used by the aged
monarch on the occasion proves him, il addi-
uonal PROOF were wanting, worthy of the
exalted honor which has been conferred on
him. Speaking within the walls Of the palace
OF Versailles and at the head OF the greatest
army OF modern times, his Majesty was fully
impressed with sense of the solemnity Of the
occasion He acknowledged his submission to
the power of the guiding hand of God, and
evidently recalled to mind the instability Of
all earthly glory when he opened with his
touching allusion to shat Providence whose
wonderful dispensation has brought us together
in this ancient royal residence" The Emperor
accepts the responsibility which attaches to
his vastly enlarged sphere Of rule and increased
power and duty. He reviews the circum-
stances which-prompt him. He wishes to give
the work of Teutonic fusion to its completion,
to ''crown the edifce," not with the frippery
ornamentation Of to-day alone, but with those
works Of solid adornment which were origi-
mated and moulded and beautifed by the great
builders of Germany in the past. For the
future he knows no North, no South. He will
rule over united family at home, the men,
bers Of which will be educated to due observ-
ance of the faith of treaties, a religious sense
OF the honor Of the nation, an honest discharge
of citizen duties, and the requirement Of
complete franchise education which will render
the German still more domestic and economic
at home, the guardian of regulated liberty
In Central Europe, and still more useful
acquisition to the industries of foreign societies
when he travels abroad.

legislative body and appeal to the country by
means of parliamentary election. The ques-
ton of dissolution was voted by the Cortes
yesterday, the representative body being made
to acknowledge its own incapacity. The resort
to general election ia cases of extraordinary
national difficulty has been favorite expe-
dent with ministers under monarchical gov
ernments dating from very few years after
the assertion Of parliamentary government in
England. Republican Spain has not absolved
itself of the imperial tradition. The Cortes
received the fiat Of the executive in Madrid
yesterday, amid scene Of intense excite
ment. Senior Robledo, royalist, limited at
com Tktat, and then announced that the
members of his party "would save the King
or perish with him"-a very uncomfortable
alternative, 80 far as our judgment goes, both
for the King and Robledo. His Majesty elect
NAV not want to be ''saved." Perhaps he
will not settle in Madrid, but. seeing the dan
ger, keep away from 1t. An aristocrat who was

perhaps, drive his state coach according to the

King elect will require all the caution he can use
inside the constitutional guarantees in order
to render his seat secure. The legislative ex-
element has been followed by political de-

mention already Of ''Maccaroni" party; to
day we are told Of "Sardinian" faction.
Strange to say, the members of both are vio-
lcntly opposed to the Italian prince. Such
eccentricity on the most serious subject de-
notes the rotten condition of the social system
in Spain; it is the imbecle giggle, which, in
some instances, precedes dissolution.
