WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THE
that cotton and other manu-
featuring business is beginning totake root
In the South, and 1t is supposed that sec
ton will not be so adverse to high duties 1t
is extremely doubtful to what Congress
will be able TO do with the tariff. And It's
dilatoriness has caused the circulation OF
memorials, calling attention to the oper-
alton OF the tariff rates, for one of these
papers II is suggested that before the exor-
bitant tax xes on quinine and other chemicals
are retained II ought to be shown "that the
privileges thus granted to half "a dozen
millionalres are of greater moment than
the rights OF forty five millions of people. "
The memorialists assert that the history o
protection may be read in the record oi
bankruptcies for that "to protect one in
dustry is to put burden on other indus
tries. For example the tariff table shows
why the great industry of clothing manu-
facture does not flourish. The tax on
clothing wool is 81 per cent. dyes about 80
per cent, lining silks 90, velvet GO, silk
thread 40, spool thread 10, alpaca lining 20,
linen 30, needles &c, % per cent, and up
ward. With such an exhibit as the above
ask:
"How can the American makers of cloth
ing, especially under present conditions,
prosper with such load? Apart from the
home makers and export their goods?
England. France, Germany and Switzer-
land increase their exports of clothing year
by year. and TO the very countries in whose
markets the United States would naturally
have the advantage-that is 10 say, to
Mexico, Brazil, Chill, Peru, the Argentine
Republic, Australia and New Zealend.-
Out of prod uction Of not less than $780,
900 600 in 1876 the American manufacturers
were able to export the comparative trifie
of 500 ,596."
Their work was better but protective
taxation, closed these markets against
them by adding so enormously to the cost
of materials. And here comes the reason
why we cannot maintain profitable com
merce with South America and Other
countries. All commerce. reduced 10 its
elements, is but an interchange OF commo
ditles. We cannot expect our manufactures
| because we cannot take their raw materials
| in return. The wealth of a nation does no
| increase from what IL sells within its owl
borders for that Is "a simple transfer o
money or its equivalent from one citIZel
| To another IL must come from what WI
| sell abroad, and from what we can buy II
| new manufactures, TO be sold at prom
| abroad. If other nations can get their raw
| nj mal erials of manufacture at less cost thai
| we, by reason oil their being admitted dut,
| free, they with their cheaper labor also
| can exclude us from competition In foreig
| markets-in markets, too, as the memorl
alists point out, where under equally fav
orabie conditions, we should naturall
have the Advantage.

THE CosT OF IRON SHIPs.- Mr.. John
Roach, the eminent ship builder, at Ches-
ter, has published pamphlet, In which
he urges subsidy from Congress for a
steamship line, in which he expresses
the opinion that if the duties were taken
off the materials that enter into the con-
struction of iron steamships he would
build vessels as cheaply as they arr built
on the Clyde, and the fact that it costs
100000 to build steamship of 1000
Tons or the Delaware which can be built
for S450,000, or ten per cent. less on the
ely is one Of the arguments used BY
him why Congress should grant hand
some subsidy for long term to ship.
owners undertaking to run from United
States ports ocean steamship lines.
Another pamphlet has been published
by Mr.. Charles Ii. Hill, on the same
subject, in which he argues to prove that
iron steamships can be built by our ship.

Here we have the commencement

THE preacher at West Church. by inns
phcation, thoughtlessly hurls an accusa-
ton at all other denominations for the
sake of expressing favorable opinion OF
the Ouskers. The first of all things,
with the pulpit, should be truth. Where
does this gentleman get his authority for
the assertion in what fields has he
searched for the truth of the assertion
When such insinuations against others
are made, the proof of the fact declared
with so much exultation, ought to be at
hand. He said
sFor, in all:the group of brihe,holders,
defaulters and embeZzlerS from the IA
cific TO the Atlantic, and from the lakes
to the galf, not one Quaker has yet been
found"
We might also ask to what class of
Quakers this gentleman alludes when he
says:
"When old fashioned Quarkerism dies
out, it will be bad day for this country.
God grant that that day may never come"
Does he refer to the followers of Elias
Hicks, who declare against the Holy
Trinity Certainly VIM. Penn made
good bargains with the Indians. He had
cause to keep his pledged word and
there are those in this town who would
be glad If some of his followers here had
been as careful to redeem their pledged
honor. 1t may not be peculation but
the wrong done by which money was
filched from the purse Of others is all the
same. 1t would be pleasant thought
indeed if there was even one denomina
ton that could be pointed to that wa
without the sin of dishonesty. But VIZ
opine that DR.. OTIS Will have to lool
and search again if he finds, in this day
a single fold in which there is not on,
'black Sheep" if the absence of dishon
esty is the redeeming quality. "Ol'
fashioned Quakerism" has no faitl
in "ministerial hirelings," and less il
the elect; and what would have becom
of our young population had they waite
to be learned by its ministrations we cal
not say; for we must reflect that there ha
not been Quaker church built In vii
mington within the last four decades, an
there has been in that time so man
handsome edifices erected and dedicate
to the service of the Trinity and He wi
