Mr.. ETBB.4LL INTER WEI WE'D.

A reporter of the Boston Post has recently
interview ed Mr.. kimball, and given the re-
suit in the columns Of that paper The value
of the interview may he understood by the
following in relation TO the tariff
Corres.--IIow then does this protective
tariff affect you.
Mr.. Kimball In this way. Nearly every
article entering into the composition of a car
riage is protected. This protection have to
pay for. On one article alone (plush) which
is much used in my business, but more in up
holstering, the duty is so high that gentle
man in this city recently paid at the Custom
House Sl560 duties on what cost him only
$500 in Europe, or nearly double its original
cost. And yet there has not been and probably
never will be any plush manufactured in this
country. The same is true of broadcloth,
the duties on both these articles being the
same.
Corres.-How much is that?
Mr.. kimball. Thirtyfve per cent. al va
loren and fifty cents on the pound. And
here again is the injustice of the duty,
for the cheaper the plush the heavier is its
weight, owing to its coarse texture; conse-
quently the man who is only able to buy a
chair or carriage covered with cheap plush,
has to pay more duty than the man who is able
TO purchase more costly one. And on the
same principle the man who wears cheap
broadcloth pays more duty than his rich
neighbor does or his finer and more costly
article.
Corres.-You would say, then, from YOU
own experience and observation that the tariff
is most unjust and injurious?
Mr.. Kimball VERY emphatically)-I know
so, and as / have stated in my letter, it il
only by reduction of the same, and by the
strictest economy in all public expenditures
that the country can be restored to its former
prosperity.
Now since plush is not manufactured in thi:
country, it is arrant nonsense to talk about
its being protected. How does the high tariff
protect the manufacture of an article which
we don't manufacture? Again plush ant
broadcloth are articles not in common us,
among the poorer class of people, so that tn
tax, whatever it may be, falls mostly upon tn
rich. Since we have n large debt to pay AM
must tax to pay it, we don't think mechanics
farmers and people Of moderate means, vii
object to imposing the tax so that it will fal
most heavily upon the rich, as is the fact il
this case. Doubtless Mr.. Kimball would lik
to remove this tax which the rich are oblge,
W pay, anu ~ 10 tilc upon TEA am
coffee, so that the laboring class would b,
obliged TO pay more. This might increase Mr
Kimball's profits, but certainly it would TAKE
from the wages of his workmen the amoun
of the increased tax on tea and coffee, which
they could not avoid paying, because these
articles are necessities Of their every day .iv.
ing, and they will have them. Let the ficl
pay the tax on plush and broadcloth, and th'
poor mans tea and coffee go untaxed.

MONTE FIDEo, June lG, Is

MONTE VIDEo, June lG, 1871.
70 the Editor of the KenaeJec Journal;
A few items about the country in which our
domicile chances to be at this time may not
be wholly without interest to the readers of
the Journal The territory-recognized in
South America only as the ORIENTAL REPUB-
Lie OF URuGUAY-lies between latitude 20 and

Greenwich. Its extreme length is three hun
dred and seventy-fve miles, and it has an
average breadth of about two hundred miles,
and contains not far from serenty-fre Mous-
and square miles, an area nearly equal to
New England. The Rio de la Plata makes
one hundred and eighty miles of its boundary,
and the Uruguay river two hundred and fifty
miles. At its mouth the Rio de la Plata has
a breadth of one hundred and seventy miles
greater than the distance from Augusta to
Boston. From Monte Vdeo directly across
to Buenos Ayres the distance is one hundred
and thirty miles, the transit being made be-
tween the two cities every night by fine pas
senger steamers. This immense river is
formed by the Uruguay, Parana, and Para
quay rivers and their tributaries, draining in
all more than 100000 square miles of terri
tory large proportion of Uruguay is a
rolling prairie, not level pampa like Buenos
n Ayres and other provinces on the opposite side
OF the river. In the interior this general char
acterisnc OF the country is broken by various
q hill and ridges, of moderate elevation, which
form the water sheds of the internal rivers.
The country is finely watered by it's numerous
: streams and rivers, and has a shore line for
, marine and deep river navigation of more
p than SIR hundred miles. The soil of the en-.

Intelligence from Persia informs us that
the cholera is again raging in the East with
violence. The Persians have been suffering
for months with famine, in the most terrible
manner, and now comes the fearful pestilence
to complete their miseries. Those countries
which are not subject to the dread march Of
the pestilence can never realize the horrors
which it creates where it sweeps.
The last expedition against the Spanish au-
thorities in Cuba, led by Quesada, came to
disastrous end, near Puerta Principe. 1t
was the largest expedition attempted, and its
failure will be disheartening to those who
wish that Cuba may be independent.
