PPTCEDUTY--COST.

We set forth, in reply to The World the
principle enunci; ted BE- Alex. Hamilton, James
Buchanan, and nearly every one else who ever
discussed Political Economy, that, as general
rule Cost governs Price, whether the duty on
imports be 20, 50, 100, or 500 per cent 10
this, The World responds:
"U this means anything, it means that whether tho
duty on Iron were 20 per cent 500 per cent the vr
uous ron-masers would charge tho Same rate for ther
ware and always give Iron "a cheap az they could
make it. that and duty of 20 per cent Ia
"a effective as one Of 5Oo why not give US the lower duty
and end the pother"
Answer.-A duty of 20 per cent. would not
he "a effective" as one of 5o0-nO one ever
limited that it would. Under 20 per cent.
duty, we might for time import One Million
TINS of Iron; under a 500 per cent. duty, We
should import none at all. But let the duty
be S or 5000 per cent, the cost of producing
Iron in this country wOuld mainly govern the
price of the product. We think the price would
be lower, i'm the average of the next ten years,
under the prohbitory duty. because that would
induce the opening of thousands of mines, the
building of hundreds of new furnaces, giving
assurance of an enlarged and eager market;
but the law that Cost governs Price would

itself "Thc virtuOus irOn-masters" are
just as virtuous as other people-not whit
more or less so. They will in any case sell
their product for the most they can get for it.
They did so in 1874, when James Buchanan
said they would have been ruined by an cx-
cess of home competition but for Folks cleo
ton. Had they made furnaces as plentiful as
grist-mills, they would for time have sold
Iron for less than cost then ruin would have
overtaken part of them; the Sheriff would
have closed them out this would have made
Iron scarcer; thereupOn prices would have
risen to living rate again. The farmers of
this country are as fond of good prices as
the manufacturers; yet he who argues that
they get ten cents extra per bushel for their
Corn because that is the duty on imported
Corn proves his own ignorance or knavery.
Yet the case of Corn is precisely parallel with
that of Lumber, which our Free-Traders as
sumo TO be enhanced in cost twenty per cent.
throughout the Union because there is duty
of twenty per cent. on imported Lumber. In
point of fact the price of ninetenths both of the
Corn and Lumber consumed in the country is
nowise affected by the Tariff.
Why should it be necessary to insist on these
truthsi All tolerably intelligent persons I'M
derstand them. Can The World make any

of Baez appears to have uttered coh"au
t;or of the statement transmitted TO INC '"''o

,,ont that Cabral seems to cOntradlct but
does not. ,
That Mr.. Bassett has stated TIE literal truth,
mn one who knows him will doubt But he may
have been deceived by me person who called
on him as aforesaid. who may have had no a'l-
thorty to speak for Cabral. 1t was therefore
entirely proper that Cabral should disavow his
Imputed representative, and proclaim bis uh-
changed and invincible hostility to annexa-
ton. He has chosen different form OF con
tradiction-one which strengthens our cOnvio-
tion that Mr.. Bassett's informant was fully ac
credited. That Cabral should disclaim him 81
soon as his GRAND should obtain publicity wa
| a matter of course.
We attach little importance to his attitud
on this question. 1t is very certain that al
immense majority Of the people of Santo do
mingo desire annexation. Their reasons TO
this are many and obvious, one of the foremos
being their natural and laudable anxiety to
no longer disturbed and infested by such un
comfortable patriots as Cabral AS MIR. Wad
forcibly observed they must be idiots If the
did not desire annexation. Protection, securit!
peace, Thrift, progress, all wait upon it.
The considerations which commend annexa
alton to our people are different, and seem
us much weaker. In our judgment, this cour
try must for years spend several dollars o
Santo Domingo, if that country were annexe
to ours, for every one we should receive froI
that island. STILL we of the United States ma
also incline to annexation if we are above
t to take our time.

RELIGION IN COSTUME.

Possibly it is benefit to humanity that the
BOnapartes were dethrOned What it is to
woman, however, is still an open question. A
Frenchman suddenly bereft of a ruler irresist-
ably suggests chicken with its head cut off (;
nothing else in nature founders and dashes
about with such amazing, utter disOrganiza-
ton, or such total lack of any physical or
spiritual backbone. His condition is composed
and placid, however, when compared to the
state Of the American woman left without a
dictator as to her gowns and bOnnets. Paris is
lamentable spectacle enough, but the
havoc made in paniers and petticOats
since our wives held the awful respOn-
sibility in their hands of dressing themselves
passes the power of words. They have turned
in their bewilderment to Dutch Frauen and
Spanish DOnnas, and borrowed a patch here
and a shipping there of their cast-off costumes,
and 80 have dragged heavily through the Win
ter. But with the Spring airs, courage appa-
rently has come to them, and they have ven
tured on what is certainly an original move
ment, by endeavOring to express their religion
by the cut of their coats. Devotion has found
utterance in other countries in music, form,
and even color. B0hme found Infinity i'm the
red glare of lamp; but it was left for the
ingenuity of the Yankee woman to express the
longings of her soul and her relations to her
Creator in her sacques and boots.
To show the reader to what nicely of
of meanings this expression is resolved, we re-
fer him to the fashionable arbiters in their
last issues. They adapt costumes to the very
root and groundwork of the Christian system
The mother about to devote her tirst-born to
the service of God, with tears and prayers, for
life and for eternity, is advised, as a proper
preparation for this rite to take care that its
robe be not less than a yard and a quarter
long and trimmed with alternate Fittings and
valenciennes. A grOs-grain silk of dove color, it
is delcately thrown out as a suggestion, would
probably aptly express her own grave feelings.
The young girl who has resolved in the fresh
purity of her earliest years to profess
openly her secret trust in her Savior,
is relieved entirely from all doubt on
the subject of her Dress The most
expression of her maiden innocence,
she is assured, will be found in killing trimmed
polonaise suit of white linen, stiff piques
giving too harsh q meaning. Nothing can be
more appropriate than finish of white chip
hat with harebells. or better suited to the
solemn simplicity of tho occasion. 1t is for

a sIipht proyocation. II any serious movement
resuit therefore from D6llinger's manifesto, it
ia more likely to be in the direction Of Protest
antism than of a reformed German Catholic
Church.
The attitude of the Bavarian Government
need not seriously cOmpicate the situation.
DIR. D0llinger may be retained in his profess
sorship at Munich, but the bishops will always
have the power to refuse ordination to STU
dents who prepare for the priesthood under
his teaching, and any bishop who declines to
execute this power can be dtpOsed. The Gov
eminent may indeed secure to such recalci-
trant ecclesas.ics the physical occupation Oh
their place. and the revenue that belongs TO
them; out this would be to try the expert
inert which Henry VIII. tried in England, and
, the result would be the same the newlChurch,
which meant to DO only a localized, indepen-
dent Catholicism, would Immediately become
distinctly Protestant. There is no grouno
for surprising that either the Govern
mcnt or the people are ready for any sucf
radical change as this. The cOncordat may Dc
abolished, but concOrdats and all other 1orlns
of union between Church and State are thlhgs
of the past, and both priest and people gel
along very well without them. What effect
the course of DR.. D0llinger may have In CAV
ing fresh vitality to German Professionalism II
is too soon yet to predict. But it is unreasoh
able to suppose that it will modify the char

Prince Bismarck announces that the German
troops will not quit the forts east and north
of Paris until the treaty of peace is framed
and signed at Brussels. This emphatic declara-
ton settles the important military point that
the Army of Versailles has only one side of
Paris to lay siege to. The Germans at ST. Denis
yesterday stopped all supplies for Paris. This
positive action settles the important question
as to how far the Germans are aiding the in
vesting forces. The starvation policy of Mac
Mahon has taken the place of the conciliatory
one of NJ. Theirs; and there is no question of
its final success. Meantime in Paris dissen-
sons grow; the scum of the pOpulace comes
to the surface as leaders; and the Commune
is in danger of falling of its own weight. If
it were not for the cohesive power of public
plumber and the pay of the National Guards it
would not hold together another day.
