MR. HOODS TARIFF

A recent Washington dispatcn stated that
the friends of the Tariff Bill say there is every
probability that it will become law. Who
are its friendsl Not the importers. Promi-
nent merchants of this city who met last Sat
urday to consider il, say that the bill is i'll
conceived, full of complications, and likely to
add to the embarrassments OF business. They
represent the current opinion of mercantile
classes. The manufacturers are still less
pleased with the bill. Their interests have
been little considered. In general, the prOtec
ton to our industries furnished by the existing
tariff. has been largely reduced in this one ; in
several instances. tn" proposed reduction is 30
sweeping as to be rliinOus. The lab0ring peO-
ple certainly are not the friends of this bill,
which if it becomes law, must close many mills
and furnaces, and throw hundreds out of employ
ment. to beg and starvc in these hard times. The
people at large cannot be the friends of the
measure, for it will impose duties on long
list of imports that hitherto were free, being
in that respect worse than the tariffs that
arose out of the exigencies of the Government
during the war. The Free Traders cannot be
the friends of measure which transgresses
the theories of Free Trade; the Revenue Re
formers cannot favor bill, that will give
neither revenue nor reform; the Protection
Ists will not be expected to admire project
for imposing duties on raw material used in
manufacture on the one hand, and on the
other lowering The duties that protected the
manufacture. Who, then, are the friends of
this chaotic contrivance which has met no.
body's expectations except perhaps those OF
its maker who is said to be well pleased with
his handiwork2 Possibly the lawyers who see
in the proposed tariff large and varied crop
of htigatiohs.
In preparing this measure, which Is already
productive of remonsrances from all parts oi
the country, though. as yet, there has not been
time for many expressions from those whose
interests are injured, n mistake has been made
which is too common in new tariff projects,
and in this one is singularly prominent. The
existing Tariff did not spring, like Minerva,
ont of one persons BRAIN 1t is n growth OF
years and experiment. Defective as it is, 1t
more nearly reaches the main object Of tar
iff. in the production of large revenue with
out disturbing our industries than any of its
predecessors. This is chiefly because it largely
consists of improvements upon the original
Tariff, that was constructed almost wholly

Senator ST. John has introduced bill IN the
Senate which is designed to afford the RAPID
transit on the canals which has been the aim
o. so many inventors. The bill practically puts
the whole business of towing boats into the
hands of a new railway company, which pro-
poses to build a narrow-gauge road on both
banks and realize the dreams of steam on the
canal by steam on the tovpath. The company
is to be allowed 70 charge % cents per mile
for each boat, and is to pay into the treasury
of the State annually the sum of 100000,
retaining the balance of It's receipts. 1t Is a
curious project, but is SAID to have enlisted
the favorable attention of intelligent students
of the canal problem.

The announcement of large defalcation in
the Bank of North America is not so startling
as the disclosure that the thefts on the part OF
one of its tellers began SO far back as Black
Friday, or more than eight years ago, and
have remained undiscovered UP to this time.
Indeed there is no reason TO suppose that they
would have been discovered now, if the Bank
Department had not concluded that an exam
nation of the bank was proper, none having
been had during all that period. Inc pub
lie will be the more surprised that the
bookkeeping of an old and cOnserva-
tive bank could be made to conceal q
crime of such proportions for such length
of years, when they see that the begin
ming of this defalcatiOn was almost as bad az
the end. The teller stole, in all, 100000 !;
there has been recovered $4,000, making the
total loss probably $4,000; the amount which
the defaulter took eight years ago was
S85. 1000. While the capital of the bank
mas been considerably impaired by this
and other causes, pleasant assurances are
given that its dcpositors will not suffer and
i,s business will not be interrupted.

We give, on another page, continuation OF
the mournful stories many merchants tell OF
their grievances against the trade dollar. Pro-
ducc and commission merchants and wholesale
erocers are overloaded with silver, which is
poured in upon them by the retail dealers,
who get it, in their turn, from working
people. While considerable share of the
general dissatisfaction arises from the fact
that the banks viii not receive the trade
dollar, the loss that its depreciation entails
upon the merchant taking it, is the greatest
grievance. 1t may surprise Mr.. Matthews and
the rest of the silver crew to know that one
