MORRISON'S TARIFF.

The object of a tariff is either to raise a
to afford protection to domestic industry,
and that is the better tariff which the more
nearly combines both objects. AS an alb
stract proposition, perhaps, this could NOT
better he expressed than in the republican
national platform of 1872, wherein it was
declared that the annual revenues should
be mainly "raised by duties on importa-
tons, the duties of which should be so
adjusted as to aid in securing remunera-
tive wages to labor, and promote the in
dustries, growth and prosperity of the
whole county," How to so ad Just them
that these ends may be attained is prob
lem that may well puzzle the wisest of
statesmen but an approach has at times
been made to its solution-notably in The
tariff of 1924 and 1912.
Mr. Morrison's bill, now before congress,
cannot be cassed under either of these
heads. Unless figures lie, it will not raise
revenue, neither will it promote industry

labor. Upon the basis of the amount and
value of goods imported for the fiscal year
1875, and the actual amount of duties
chargeable and paid under the existing
tariff, the passage of Morrison's bill would
work an annual reduction of nearly TWEEN
ty-six millions of dollars-$25, 76G, G97. 03.
In this statement we have not included the
duty on tea and coffee, which are taken
from the free list and made to pay duty

this bill 1t has been advocated and recon-
mendcd by the secretary of the treasury as
an independent measure, and as such it
ought TO pass as it undoubtedly would if
placed on its merits. Giving him, how
ever, the credit of this increase, his bill de-
creases the revenue in the aggregate some
thing over six millions of dollars annually.

viii some one, learned in such matters,
please inform US how the carrying of news
papers and printed matter generally, by
mail, is supported by tie taxes of proper
"ty holders, each according to his posses
"sions ?" We had supposed that the
property holders" paid no taxes fer this
purpose, and that the amount of ones
possessions" had nothing to do with the
matter. We may haye misunderstood this
matter, but we have been laboring under
the impression that an individual, without
regard to his possessions, could pay
much or little towards supplying the de-
ticency in the postal revenues as he was
disposed to buy or deal in, and did buy or
deal in, certain commodities that his
being property holder" or not had moth
ing to do with the matter.

only prosecuted offenders in all parts of his
district, but he explained to the colorcd
people what their rights were in public
speeches at important points. No man In
the state had sufficient position, wealth or
social influence TO deter General Bristow
from prosecuting him for wrong done
colored man. The records of the United
States courts in Kentucky will bear out all
here said in regard to his record upon these
points.
1t was this persistent prosecution in the
federal court Of Kentucky of all offenses
against the rights of colored men, andthe
constant bringing of witnesses from all
parts of the state to Louisville, that by ite
inconvenience, excited a strong influence in
favor of giving negroes the right TO testify
in the state courts-a measure which Gen.
.Bristow earnestly advocated.
The first colorcd man offered federal
position in Kentucky received his appoint
ment upon the recommendation of General
Bristow. lie took the oath of office in
April, 1870. Two others were soon after
ward appointed upon his recommendation,
and at all times thereafter he urged upon
the ofliceholders in Louisville to recognize
the claims of colored men to office, and to
appoint such as we're fitted for ii whenever
opportunity occurred.
Such, in brief, Is the political record Of
Secretary Bristow. How many of the pro-
minent republicans of.the party can point
TO one go radical ? To appreciate 1t fully
it is necessary to call up the prejudices
which then met a man at every step in
Kentucky, who in those days espoused
such doctrines and measures as he unfinch-
iugly proclaimed and helped to carry for
ward. At the north it was not difficult to
advocate and defend the rights of the freed
men. But to do this in Kentucky so open
ly and pcrsistently as to fix the eyes of a
whole state upon man, required no mod
crate degree of courage, no ordinary devo-
| ton to convictions, aud such sacrifices as
young men are not often willing TO make.
He was only thirly-four years old when he
advocated the emancipation amendment in
the state senate, and at thirty-six he was
prosecuting those who refused to obey its
provisions.
Those who read this record will not
wonder at the vigor with which he has pur-
sued the plunderers of the treasury, nor at
the anxiety of the baser sort of politicians
to be rid of him.

Political Notes.

The democratic organs out west are be-
ginning to train their guns on Bristow.
That's significant.
1t is now stated that the friends of Will
liam II. Wheeler furnished the backbone
of the anti-C onkling sstrength in the SYRIA
cuse convention
Friends of ex-senator Morgan in Wash
ington say that he would accept nomna-
ton as vice president on ticket headed by
Bristow.
To-day will be quite day for republican
convention. The Pennsylvania republicans
hold theirs in Harrisburg, the Vermont re-
publicans theirs in Burlington, and the
Ohio republicans theirs in Columbia. That
makes 1l2 delegates for Cincinnati.
The Chicago Tribune says that Minister
Washburne, if elected governor of Illinois,
will not permit his name TO be used IN con-
nection with the senatorship. If he should
be nominated for the presidency, however,
the 1'ribune admits he would be disposed
to accept.

fiscal year 1876, and an estimate made of
the amount which would be chargeable on
the same amount and value of importations
under Morrison bill.
The importation of wool-the raw ma
terial--in 1875, was nearly fifty-two mill
lion pounds, being about equal TO the whole
production of the country in 1850 as shown
by the census Of that year, and more than
half as much as the entire production of
the United States Ia 1870. The value of
the wool so imported was len and quar-
ter millions of dollars, and the amount OF
duty paid was $3,631, S3S54. Under
Morrison's bill, these duties would be re-
duccd sl,33S, 77002. This does not in
clude the proposed reduction on "manu-
d" features of wool" Including this, we
have total reduction on wool and its
manufactures of over eight and quarter
millions of dollars annually.
The reduction on marble is, even, greater
in proportion. During the fiscal year 1875,
there was imported five hundred and four
thousand feet of marble, valued at five
hundred and thirty-Jne thousand dollars,
and paying TO the treasury, in the shape of
duties, nearly three hundred and fifty
eight thousand dollars-$3j7, G33. 81.
Under the Morrison tariff, the duty on the
same amount and value of marble would
be reduced over two hundred and seven
thousand dollars annually. Aud the same
rate of reduction runs through the whole
bill, incuiing the manufacturers of cotton,
iron, steel, lead, copper, brick, tile, ETC.,
| etc.
The result of such tariff would be dis
astrous to the country. for it must operate
in one OF two ways. Either there must be
"a deficit of twenty-six millions of dollars in
the revenue or importatons must be
doubled, trebled or quadrupled as to the
different articles. The country is not now
nor will it be for years to come, in stua
ton to give up twenty-six millions of dol
lars of annual revenue. The necessary in
crease Of importation that should supply
this deficiency, could have but one effect
To produce the present amount of revenue
the market must be supplied with foreigr
wool and marble, for instance-and thu
same would be true of the other articles
and at such reduced prices and in sucl
quantities that there would no longer be ;
profit in growing wool or producing mar
bic, and, as necessary consequence, thes'
industries must cease. American wool ant
American marble must give way to, and b.
supplanted by, foreign wool and foreign
marble. 1t seems TO US that there is no es
cape from one or the other of these results
1t seems too plain for argument. Which
horn of the dilemma shall we take ?
