tho Treaty Of Washington oil nai,, except

Canadian or American fisheries, nre MI.
mitted free Of duty into tho other country.
Under this troaty the Canadians laye been
packing lobatora In tin cans, and aonding

Hion Of Congress there WINS 1ovied tax Of GO

into tho country. Nevertheless, tho Cannt1i-
ans continued TO send their Holsters to the
United Statest nnd entering thoul FREQ Of duty.
Here was deliberate attempt madc by tho
Canadians to bronk down aud destroy tho
great American industry Of packing Holsters
in tin cans. The value of tho tin cans In
which tho Holsters aro put up is d fraction over
conts each. Tho tax imposed is II cents
per Gnu. Tho clailn Is that tic Canadian can.
costing only = 1-10 cents eacl,, and tho Amer
lean can, costing cents each, tho Canad;ans
can alrord to soil Holsters nt proportions
a1ly less prioo than Tho American lA,cked

Ire contempt" in England. Two men wero
tried for passing countcrfeit coin. CnAD-
pooE, whom the presiding Judge considered
to be tho chief criminal, was acquitted. His
agent, KENT, WIS found guilty. CRAnpooK,
rs he left tho prisoners dock, whispered to
KENT, "1will give it you forsplitting on me. II
He was overheard, and sworn testimony to
that effect was laid before tho Judge. Tho
latter sent KENT to Jail for week, aud son
fenced oaADDocK to q yenrs imprisonment
"for gross contempt of Court" This waa
stretching the judicial Prerogativo pretty
far, ainco the man whom CnAppocg
threatened WINS neither Judge, juror,

criminal. Tho ruling Inns attracted much
attention. The English practice docs not nl-
low nh append in q contempt case, 20 Tint tho
offender cannot escape hts years incarccsa-

says, tho sentence would thcu at least be

DIRECT NATIONAL TAXATION.
We print another letter from "Commnno

lind tax-for rnising tho revenues of tho
General Government. We presume this will

very bad case it is. The writer has evidently
never r,atte study Of the subject. Remind
cd Of the fact that tho Constitution provides
that MI direct taxation slall DO levied in pro-
portion to population, lo aslrni.s this to be
unjust anl inpracticable, and demands cou-
6titutiona! amendment. This Bottlcs tho
whole question. Such m amendment can
never bo procured. Three-fonrths of the
State Legislatures will never be found to
ratify it. Our national taxes for interest,
pensions, and all other purposes, distributed
per capita, amount to about 81 for eacl,
inhal,itaut- Ia levied directly on tho
people, New York, with its 5000 600 people,
would pay 3d., 900 900 annnally; Illinois, with
its 100000 people, $21, 600, 900; 1ndinna,
from $14,ooo,o0o to $15,ooo,o00; Town,
Michigan, and Wisconsin, over $40, 900, 900

these States would rntify constitutional

direct taxation on real estate in addition to
what thoy pny directly for the support Of
