THE PROPOSED DUTY ON TEA AND COFFEE

WHY COFFEE HAS NOT DECLINED IN PRICE-TiE
PRODUCTION NOT EQUAL TO THE DEMAND FOR
OVER TWO YEARS.
To me Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: have read with pleasure an article in
your newspaper OF Jan % the Proposed Duty Oh
Tea" Coffee, unlike tea, not declined in price with
the abolition OF the duty in July 1872, for the simple
reason that production failed to equal the large de-
maud OF 1870 and In 1871 aud 1879 there was
deficiency about and again In 1874 OF
about 70CO) tons. When II considered that the aver
age export OF all producing countries from 42500 to
100000 tons when crops fall average, II Will at
once be seen what serious deficiencies these were.

The Civil Rights bill is objected
to because it is alleged that it would
work badly i'll the public schools
This is the most transparent humbug.
A few years ago it was the custom of
few Bourbouns here and there, over
in the State Of Iowa, who were afraid
their barefooted girls would some
time or other ''marry niggers," to
whine and howl about colored chill
dren in the schools. Finally case
was started in some of the courts,
and taken up to the Supreme Court
of that State, where it was held that
a col,rcd child had precisely the
same rights in the common schools
as white child. And what was the
result? Simply this: The growing
and snarling Of the Bournon Demo
Gratis died out on the instant of the
promu!gatio Of that decision, and
have never since been revived. The
principle, being broadly asserted and
spiked down by decision of the
court of last resort, was acquiesced
i'll without murmur. Since that
time the question has been completely
lost sight Of i'll that State, 50 far as
its practical working is concerned
Colored children attend the schools
and that glorious and perfectly en-
tranchised commonwealth is moving
right along on the high tide of pros
perity. And we very much doubt
whether even the Democrats over
there would, if they could, make any
change in their school laws, which
give "equal civil rights to all. SO,
we are of the opinion, it would soon
be in every part of the country. If
so great a principle is right-and
this certainly is-let it be asserted in
the laws of the land and agitation
about it cease at once If Republi-
canism does not mean the legal
equality of all, then it means nothing
whatever. On this question there
should be only square work-no shut
fling, hesitation, or evasion. He who
is not fol it, With regard to his posi-
tion as Republican, is very much
like the Paddy who tried to build a
fence by putting up the top rail first.
The legal equality Of all men is the
broad foundation upon which the
superstructure of the Republic has
been rested. If we fail to carry this
out, the Republican party will SO far
prove untrue to it's mission, and de-
serve the rebutfs it has been of late
receiving. If it stands by and enacts
this grand principle, it will be true to
itself, and will regain all it has lost,
and vastly more.-/nter- Oceon.

A Nou.Partisaa View.

The New York Graphic, which
has won the distinction of being the
only hottest and candid representa-
tive of independent" journalism in
the country, has the following i'm
partial comment on the Civil Rights
bill. It is commended to the perus
al of timid Republicans who have not
the courage to carry out their own
principles:
The Civil Rights bill that has pass
cd the House is SO modified i'll it,
provisions that even the Democrats
cannot say much against it except on
general principles, but the general
principles really favor the measure
It is in the direct line Ct the amend
ments to the Constitution. 1t simply
carries out their provisions. 1t II
sanctioned by the logic of these
amendments. 1t practically says tc
the negroes that the nation means tc
redeem its pledges to them, and hav
ing given them freedom and the bal
lot will protect them in the enjoy
ment of the former and the use of the
latter; and if the States do not sup
port their rightful claims to citizen
ship and it's belongings, the General
Government will. There may be g
question of expediency involved IL
the measure. 1t may not be the cor
rect policy to adopt at the presen,
time. But these considerations are
brushed aside by the fact that if it is
not adopted now it cannot be adopt
ed for full two years at the least, and
it is during these two years that the
enfranchised freedmen most need the
protection it guarantees. If the
Democrats mean to honestly carry
out the principles ofthe amendments
as they say they do, they have nc
right to object to a meaeure which
puts the profession on record ant
backs it by an appropriate statue
And that is what the bill does. i
may not settle all the difficulties 0.
the Southern situation, but it is steI
towards their solution; and while il
may do much good, it cannot posi-
bly, harm anybody.
