QUEER FREAKs.--Our financial doc

get off somc queer ideas Of statesman
ship. AT Harrisburg, as well as at
Washington, financial and revenue
questions are just now absorbing the
chief attention. State Treasurer
Mackey declares that the railroads
must submit TO further taxation, and
must pay their taxes promptly, TOO,
olsc it will be necessary 10 impose n
four mill tax upon all real ostatc in
the Commonwealth. 1t seems dlfl-
cult To account for this sudden strait,
since tho last annual reports showed u
balance Of s1,S25, l51 "a in tho Treas
ury November 30, 1878. Mr.. Mackey
has prepared statement, wherein he
puts tho estimated expenditures for
1874 at sG,000,O00.
In 1873 the disbursements for ordinary
expenses were. ........-..-.......s3,e ,e6b, ,32l

Tariff on Tea and Coffee.

Dir. Dawes, Of Massachusetts, has un-
dcrtaken t. restore the duty upon tea and
coffee, which was RENTED not long ago.
For the effort he should have the CON-
mendation of every American citizen.
Our government levics a tariff upon
importations for the purpose of raising a
revenue. Tea and coffee being exclusive
~ foreign productions, Go not come into
the list Of comparative articles. In 1872,
the the tariff Oh these commodities yield.
ed a revenue Ct S1e, 100000. As SOON US
the tariff was repealed, each Of the coun-
tries producing tea and coffee, levied an
export tax upon each. This made the
cost to consumers Just what it was under
the tariff and took Sl2,0 600 from the
government Treasury. Let it be restored
again as speedily as may be.
The people entertain very erroneous
views concerning the legitimate sources
OF revenue. From the present tariff on
cotton goods (20 per cent? the govern
ment does not realize more than one
fourth rs much revenue as it does from
any article produced exclusively abroad,
Tor the reason that in the latter case all
the. tax collected goes into the Treasury,
while in the case of the cotton, it is Just
90 much added to tie price OF home man.
ufac!ures and raises the cost Of the for
eign article in the ratio of the per cent.
Of tariff. The effect is this: American
manufacturers sell their goods at foreign
prices. plus the tariff and the cost of ex-
portation, trusting to the favoritism of
home markets, and the quality Of their
goods, for a successful competition with
foreign expectations. What is true of
cotton goods, is relatively true of all 9th,
srs which are produced both at home and
abroad. The duty levied upon them does
not increase tue revenue materially, but
II goes into the pockets Of those from
whom we purchase our supplies, and con
stitutes what is known in political phra-
seology Is "%incidental protection" Take
sway the tariff and these goods can be
purchased at prices regulated by u
healthy competition. The present effect
Of the tariff On the articles enumerated is
to increase their cost to consumers and
to put three-fourths of such increased
cost into the pockets of manufacturers,
under the p%retence of supplying the re,e.
nues of the governments sham which
the people of this country will ere long
discover, and for which they will hold
their representatives responsible.

~DEn0CKATlu DOCTRINE.

On the occasion Of the Refinement of
some Of the confederate soldiers who
were killed while making an attack on
Washington in 1861. DR.. A. Y. P. Gar.
nett, Elk Surgeon General Of the Confed.
crate Army, delivered an Grafton, in
which he represents the southern whites
as still arrsycd against all the rest OF the
country, forming n distinct body If mon
with interests ut variance with those Of
the north, and with grievances which he
claims they have been made ~unjustly to
endure. The Doctor says, mo intelligent
mind y deny the right Of those south
crn states to withdraw from the Union;
nor can any pronounce such act on their
part as reasonable or rebellious." He
asserts that the primary allegiance Of \
citizen is not to the nation, bat to the
State Of which he happens to be a citi~
zen that it was loyalty to American
principles, and not hostility IT, the Union
which dictated the act of secession, and
that such an act is not rebellious mo- un-
constitutional. He says that when the
national legislature shall subordinate
partisan interest, and sectional preju-
diccs to those great elements Of republi-
a government, then, and not until then
shall we have Il happy united and homo
gcneous people, enjoying tie blessings
Of a prosperous, just and good govern
n,cnt."
Doctor Garnet speaks the sentiments
Of the entire south, and Of the great ma
jority Of the Democratic party in the
north. In the hands OF that party the
government would declare that the south
had 4 right to sccede; that rebellion
was not treason; that the war for the
Union wa not justified by the constitu
ton; that the debt incurred for the main.
tenancc of the Union armies was illegal,
and ought to be repudiated; that the
southern war debt was incurred in self
defence and ought to be paid; that the
abolition Of slavery as a war measure,
was unjustiflable and wrong; that every
slave owner is entitled to remuneration
for his loss; and that everything used o,
destroyed by the federal armies should
be paid for out Of the national treasury.
This is the fundamental doctrine of the
Democratic party to-day. How many
Republicans wish to contribute to the
elevation Of that party, to the control Of
the government?
