DUTIES AND PRICES.

In Report of the Committee on
Manufactures, made to the XXXVIIItb
Congress it is proved that the reduc
ton Of the prices of twenty-three differ
ent manufactures of iron, under the in,
fuence of the tariff of 1912, ranged
from 10 to IS per cent, average reduc.
ton % per cent; that, in list Of tweety-

been imported. the fall of prices from

that, in list of nine articles Of hard
ware. protected by increased duties liz
the Tariff of 1872, the fall of prices
ranged from 3 to 30 per cent, average
reduction to Is per cent, and that. in "a
numerous list Of other manufactured
articles OF various kinds, exhibited in
the tables Of that Report. reduction of
prices under the Tariff of 1912 (which
afforded them the protection of increased
dnries) had been effected in some such
measure as the above cited. Mr.. Cal
houn claimed to have proved by figures,
when the Tariff of lS43was under de-
bate, that the duty on Hemp and Cot
ton Basging would be tax on the cot
year, Mr.. Thoombs of Georgia. in the
AANINth Congress, in view of the
facts, also proved by figures, while the
Tariff of 1916 was under debate, that
the protection given to Hemp and Cot
ton Bageing by the Tariff of 1916 was
not only lowered prices, but lo,cered
them more, even, than Mr.. Calhoun had
predicted, it would raise them. ''Since
the introduction of making Cotton Bag
ging in Kentucky" said Mr.. Toombs
since our own countrymen have come
into competition in producing it, the
price Of Baeging has fallen to less than
-one-thrd OF its average price before that
period. As MIR. Wells has been invt
ed to Louisville to relate his 'exper-
fence, we advise him to state this fact,
vouched for by Mr.Toombs-espe eially

PARIS, Feb. 5.-A decree, signed BY
all the Ministers here, has been promul-
gated, annulling Gambetta's decree on
electoral disabilities. It maintains the
supreme authority OF the Paris Govern
ment, and declares that the elections shall
be unrestricted.
1t is believed that neither the govern
ment of the National Defense, the Red
Republicans, nor the Imperialists,2 have
any chance of carrying the elections
The public favor the moderate party,
condemn the weakness of the govern
ment, and complain that they were not
consulted on the capitulation and armiI-

THE NEXT PRESEDE NCY.

Vice President Cofax, who has over
and again reiterated his determination to
retire to private life after his present
term Of Office expires, and who declines,
under any circumstances, to be consider
ed as one OF the numerous asplrants for
the next Presidency, is out in an article
in this week Lldependent, j.. which he
takes up the cudgel for the Republican
party In his usual vigorous style. The
Future of the Republican Party" is it's
title OF course the theme ffords Mr.
Colfax wide field for speculation Tie
believes that the prophets of evil,
who croak about a new party" thai
must of necessity arise out of the ashes
Of the old Republican party, to carry the
| next election, are croaklng in vain~ and
that the same votes which carried Lin
coin triumphantiy to the White House
viii again place General Grant at the
head Of the nation in 1872. Mr.. Col
fax argues from the past record OF the
Republican party, to show that it has by
no means lost It's hold on the affections
| of the people; and as to the Southern
States which have lately gone Democrat
ic, instead of their being an indication
of the way the Presidential election OF
1872 will go. he declares that the results
OF these same tflilmpnS VIII serve but 10
| strengthen the Republicans as party.
In supper, of this assertion he proceeds
to detail what he calls the results of
the Democratic triumphs, South, such
as midnight assassns,' in Kentucky,

Carolina. of Its former rebel Cove nor
and 50 on. I'D li5ttum. Mr.. Colfax then
closes as follows:
''What preserves the Republic from
the rule of the Democratic party, which
contains these elements within it. is the
continued power OF the Republican party.
And it is because the young masses of
this ratraiotic organization, who without
the lead of politicians, created it, realize
that it was Ieform party at its birth,
and had been reform party during all
its existence. and has carried through
more vital reforms than all other parties
in our century Of national life, and can
elaborate and consummate all needed re-
forms in the future as their necessity be-
comes apparent. that they intend to win
another triumph for it and its standard
bearers In 1872 However the President,

TIE leading article in our columns
Yesterday reciting some of the views on
the railroad question entertained by
leading manufacturer of the city, has al
ready borne good fruit in eliciting from
an active friend Of the proposed Wheel
ing & Tuscarpwls Valley Road the strong
presentation OF the grounds in favor OF the
enterprise that appears in our columns
this morning. There is just one triling
misapprehension OF the writer that we
desire to correct He speaks Of the gen
tleman whose views we set forth as hav-
ing dictated" the article. So far from
thus, the publication was not made at his
request; nor even in compliance with any
suggestion or hint from him. Indeed, he
could have had no suspicion that he was
being interviewed" or that there was
any intention on our part to allude TO the
conversation or the views expressed by
him.
The article alluded to was not meant to
be any expression of our own views. We
are persuaded that the opening Of a road
leading directly from this city into Ohio
would promote every important interest
in the city and would powerfully stimu.
late instead Of depress all kinds Of business
here. We are persuaded also that the peo-
pie Of Wheeling are abundantly able to
make such a subscription 10 the road as
viii secure its early construction without
making draft on capital that seeks in.
vestment in manufactures. We are per.
suaded, further that the road will have
all II can do from the time it
is opened to trade and travel;
and that, as our correspondent says, the
city would not be called upon to pay the
interest on the bonds, but that the profits
Of the line would pay it from the start.
II this should prove true, all the objections
of our manufacturing friend, which are
based on the expectation that the build.
ing Of this road would add to the interest
burden Ofthe city, disappear; and ii ia to
that aspect OF the case - to the resOur-
ces of the country along the proposed line;
its coal, iron, agriculture, population and
general wealth; and IN the valuable com.
merce to he carried through to other
roads, that the critical attention OF our
people should be turned.
Only one Of the railroad projects In
which Wheeling ever took hand was at
all comparable with this in respect to the
extent and wealth Of country reached, or
in respect to its lying in the natural dircc.
tiOn Of commerce. That one was the
Baltimore & Ohio; and when did Wheel.
ing ever make better investment than
when she took u half n million stock in
that road? Not only has the road
been Of great benefit to all the interests Of
the city, but the stock itself, after paying
good dividends for many years, was
finally sold at high premium. Why
should not subscription to this Ohio
road be just rs advantageous in q business
point of view, and as sale and profitable
simply as an investments

Iron Boats on the Ohio.

Iron boats for the OHIO River have
finally come into competition with
wooden ones, and, Of course have won
the day. Captain Boardman, of Gin
cinnati, has just completed an iron
steamboat, the John T. Moore, and
on Monday she was ready to take her
first cargo for New Orleans and Red
River. Having an iron hull, divided
into eleven water-tight compartments,
which makes it particularly impossible
to sink her, she is entitled to an ahate-
ment of rates of insurance on the car
go according to the diminished risk.
But the masters of the wooden boats
did not fancy this Just discrimination
against them, and SO brought their
combined influence to bear on the Gin
cinnati insurance company, 6y threat
to withdraw their risks if they insured
on the iron Moore for less than the
wooden rate. The home companies
yielded, but some of the agents Of for
eign companies gave Captain Board
man reduced rates of insurance and
he was enabled to lessen freight rates
accordingly. This is one significant
fact for Pittsburgh river men to con.
slider. Another of equal import is
that the friends of Captain Pittsfeld,
the builder of Boardman's iron boat,
have in contemplation the formation
of joint stock company, with $780,
900 capital, in Cincinnati, for the pur-
pose of building iron hulls. A num-
Der of prominent steamboat builders
have already signifed their intention
of becoming shareholders in the enter
prise. There is an immense advantage
in being first to build the iron boats,
which will soon be the. onl1kind used
on the WestsRa a-rivers. Shall Cincin-
