duties. The chief reason assigned is, that In
this way honest merchants will not be driven
out of business by the dishonest ones who un-
deryalue goods in importing thep' NOW
when the amended Wood tariff was pubiished,
an outcry came from the wOOl-growers ana
manufacturers because all WOODS, with-
out regard to value or grade, were
put under a single ad yalorem rate'
They said, "You gave us hopes that
I" the change would be made to specific duties
"in the new tariff" A large portion OF the
iron and steel manufacturers urged similar
objection, though in certain lines the commit
tee had yielded the point and named speclhc
duties. Last year the silk manufacturers
asked only that the rates of duty should re-
main undisturbed; this year, in their annual
report, they evidently favor specific duties'
and seem willing to run the risk of change
in the tariff if these can be obtained in place
of ad valorem rates. The manufacturers have
greater object in seeking this change than
the merchants. There is first the nope
that dishonest impOrtations Will be checked by
the specific duties. Second, it has been found
that the ad valorem system makes the hardest
competition in hard times, when goods are
low. The contrast is drawn between the
operation of that system in periods OF pros
perity, when the duties are large although little
protection is needed, since good prices are paid;
and times like the present, when the need OF
protection Is felt, and yet less Of 1t is given,
as the duty goes down with the price. Thus,
from different starting points, merchants and
manufacturers have arrived at the same con-
cluaion On very broad feature of a new
tariff there is therefore a chance for unanlm-
ity. But the first thing for Congressman to do
before framing a new tariff bill is to find out
what the people whose interests are concerned
really desire.

NEw-yoRk DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY "a, 1878

for the readjustment of pubic law.
These are matters of precedent, methoo
and formula, which can be easily adjusted as
soon as certain underlying questloS OIL
fact are settled. BY questions Oh iact
we mean questions of frontier ana
indemnity, administration and government
military OCCUPATION, naval privilege and dynas-
tic protection. So long as there is is no agree
ment on these fundamental issues, the two rival
Powers will hold aOof from the Congress
on one pretext or another, laying stress
on techncalities Of treaty law or pei
ligercnt rights. On the other hand, let
the Russian and British Governments reach
an understanding concerning the geograpnl-
cal and dynastic changes which shall be maue
In Southeastern Europe and Armenia, ana
they will enter the Congress arm IN arm, anu
we shall hear no more platitudes about the
sanctity of treaty law.
II is manifest that the mission Of Count
SchOuvaloR relates to points of fact rather
than points of honor, dignity and etiquette.
Scarcely had the Russian Minister left London
when AIr. Hardy defined the position OF
the British Government, and appealed to any
honest, candid man, whatever his party OF
politics, to say whether he could not see on the
face of the map that there was not single
element OF peace in the Treaty of San Stefano.
In the next breath he admitted that, with
certain notifications, which might be deter
mined upon in advance, the treaty would be
accepted by the Government. On the othcr
hand, we must bear in mind that thls
mission was inspired by the Car and undertaken
by the Russian Minister, who as early as June,
1877, before the troops had crossed the
Danube, defined the objects OF the
war; On June s, Count SchOuvaloh
had confidential communication with Lord
Derby respecting the intentions of the Rus
sian Government, and his statements were
confirmed not long aftcrward by the
Gar himself in the course OF an inter-
view with Colonel Wellesley at the seat
of war; The British Foreign Office
stated explicitly at that time that it was sat
Isiied with these declarations OF the objects
which the Russian Government had III view.
We infer, therefore, that any conces-
sions which Count SchOuyalOff has in
duccd the Car TO make are III
accord with the limitations which they
themselves defined year ago, and to which
Lord Derby offered no resistance. by read
iusting the Southern frontier of Bulgaria, by
cutting off the Egean port, by dividing
the new State into two provinces, by
shortening the period Of military occupation
by reducing the number of Imperial commits
sions, and finally, by surendcring a por-
ton of Armenia. the Russian diploma
lists can adapt IgnatieffTs Treaty to the
conditions of peace which were outlined before
the campaign had fairly opened. The nature
of the concessions is Count SchOuyalOHs Sc
cret. The awl is hidden in. the sack.

COrNr SCHOUHlLOFFS MISSION.

Europe is all agog to learn the results of
Count SchOuvalOf7s mission. lie set ont
for st. Petersburg three weeks ago, af-
ter holding consultation with Lord Bca-
cOnsfcld, and now he Is again in
London with certain propositions which
have received the approval of the Gar and
the criticism of the diplomatists of Ber-
lin. During the interval there has been
ingenious guess-work in the European
capitals. but the kcenest correspondent
and the most sagaCiOus leader-writcr were
no wiser when the Russian Minister re-
turned to the Court of st. James than they
were when his journey began. "You cannot
"hide an aw in sack" runs the Eastern
proverb. This mission has been a diplomatic in
strument with an edge so fine that 1t has been
completely concealed in the budget Of dis
patches and correspondence which we have re-
ceiyed during the last fortnight. The secret
has remained a secret from first to last.
Complex as the negotiations concerning a
European Congress have seemed, the issues
have been sharply defined The Marquis of
Salisbury has insisted that Russia, in
bringing tho Treaty of San Stefano be-
fore q Congress. must admit the juris-
Treaty of Paris. This is a point of honor
with Great Britain. On the other hand, Prince
Gortschakoff has contended that a successful
belligerent should not be subjected to the
discipline of the neutral POwers, nor be
compelled to acknowledge the validity of
treaty which registered the results of the
Crimean War. This is a point of dignity
with Russia Prince Bismarck undertook to
revise the invitations so as to bring the two
courts face to face in Congress without
compromising the honor of the one or wound
ing the dignity of the other. This Is point
of etiquette. Now these three pivotal points
on which the negotiations have turned are
technicalities. Great Britain holds that
the Powers, in revising European law,
must revert to the Treaty of Paris
as the only point of departure, Russia replies
that the Treaty of San Stefano furnishes the
only groundwork for a new charter of
peace; Germany suggests that the two
treaties be taken as common base
New-York tribune., 1878-05-24
MP UEWJTT And THE ARMY.

The Hon. Abram S. Hewitt believes that
THE TRIBUNE has done him injustice in It's
remarks upon his bill for the reorganization
and reduction Of the army. He declares that
he does "not propose to dismiss single Of
ficer from the army unless lie chooses to 60"
nor "to reduce the pay of the army" he
has only demonstrated that we can save
$50, 600, 600, and have as many muskets as
" the present army of 25,O0O men would give
"lf it were kept full, which is not the case"
We should certainly be very unwilling to say
an unkind word about Mr. Hewitt. We have
high respect for his character, and think him
cOnspicuOusly entitled to gradtude@fOr many
and varied public services. Nevertheless, we
believe his army bill to be a mischievOus meas
ure, and we rejoice that the votes i'll Commit
tee of the Whole, in the House yesterday,
seem almost to insure the defeat of its chief fea-
ture. How does he propose to save $3, OOO,OOOf
Not merely by new scheme OF organization,
as some persons seem to suppose, but hIst
by a reduction of the number OF enlisted
men, and secondly by cutting down the COM
pensation of officers. The nominal strength
of the army at present is $4,000 men, but
from various causes the ranks are not full.
mum at 10000 men, and if he has devised
any plan Of keeping the actual force up to
the authorized maximum. he has not explained
it. To the uninitiated layman it looks as if a
reduction of 5000 in the maximum would be
simply reduction of 5000, neither more nor
less. The plea, therefore, that the number of
muskets will not be affected by the bill does
not seem to be good one. Neither
is it fair to plead that the bill does
not cut down the officers pay. 1t leaves
their "pay" untouched, but it reduces their
"allowances" and thus it makes very seri-
GUS difference in their compensation. The pay
and allowances of captain of infantry at
present amount to S2,650; Mr.. Hewitt pro-
poses to cut the total down to 81, 44S in the
field or in public quarters. and 81, 124 in hired
quarters. The reduction in the case OF the
General of the army amounts to 81, zoos OF a
colonel to $2O7 in the field or in public
quarters. and no less than $1,137 in hired
quarters, and so on down the whole list.
We have no hesitation in saying that there
ought to be no reduction whatever either III
the number of enlisted men or the pay OF Of
fcers. The effective force of the army is now
a great deal too small. Mr. Hewitt's argu-
