GAREIELn ON THE TARIEE.

tRemarks on the Wood Tariff Bill, June 4, 18781
 I freely admit that revenue is the primary object of taxation That object is attained by existing law. But ft $ Gn incidental and vIrA1LY IMPORTANT object cf' the laao to KEEP IN HEALTHY GROWTH ttOse industries aol.ich are necessary for tte acoE-5eiasg c the scole coat1s- ty.
 The people that cannot make their own implements of industry must be content to take very humble and subordinate place in the family of nations.
 So important in my view, is the ability of the nation to manufacture all the articles necessary to arm, equip and clothe our peo- pie, that if 1t could not be secured in any other way, would vote to pay money out of the federal treasury to maintain government iron and steel, woolen and cotton mills at whatever cost
 A bill so radical in it's character as this Cthe Wood tariff bill), so dangerous to our busi- ness prosperity, would work infinite mischief at this time when the country is just recov- ering itself from long period of depression and getting again upon solid ground.
 Let it be remembered that 9 per cent. of all the laboring people of this country are artisans engaged in manufactures Their culture has been fostered by our tariff laws It is their pursuits and the skill which they

TO REPUBLICAN BUSINESS MEN.

In some of the cities of Indiana and Ohio at the late election many business men of high standing and interested in Republican success left their business for the day and worked at the polls or anywhere they could do the most good. Why cannot many of the Republican business men of New Haven do the same thing next week Tuesday? The presence of such men at the polls would be useful It would discourage bulldozing and other Democratic arts and help to keep the peace We should be glad to see much of the election work usually left to politicians of low degree done this time by our solid busi- ness men. No class of the people is more interested in the result than they are. They cannot show their faith to any better advan- tage than by personal work at the polls elec- tion 1av

 Postmaster Ainger, in his examination of the fac-simile of the envelope in which the forged Chinese letter enclosed, had not discovered the most fatal omission at the time he issued his card denouncing the fraud which has since been detected on examination by experts. The importance of this discov- cry cannot be overestimated, as without Gen. eral Garfeld's denial proof exists that it is a base forgery.

The British Board of Trade returns for gain in her exports, compared with the cor responding month last year, is 233 per cent, and in her imports 15 per cent. September, 1879, was the starting point of the trade revival in Great Britain. That month was distinguished from it's stag nant predecessors by an increase of per cent. in imports and per cent. in exports Since then British commerce has mounted upward until nine months of 1880 show a gain of 19.5 in imports and 19.2 in exports (home productions only) over the figures for the corresponding nine months of last year. The improvement affects all classes of bus mess. But it is most extraordinary in cotton manufactures In that line of exports Eng land beat her best previous record Her ex- ports of cotton goods for last month. amount ed to 427, 2O4, 600 yards, against 359, 643, 800 yards in September, 1879. Nearly all of her old customers sent increased orders for these goods. Among the exceptions were China and Japan-the former taking 2,000,000 yards less and the latter falling off in about the same proportion. This decline in two of her favorite markets is mostly due to the wig orous competition of the United States. The Chinese and Japanese are fast coming to pre- fer our cotton piece goods, having found out that they are more free from adulteration than the British makes. But in Turkey, Bra gil, her Indian empire and in many another country England has the undisputed mastery in cotton goods.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.

Further evidence that what pretends to be the postal mark is forgery is shown by the fact that the diameter of the die on the fac simile is one-eighth of an inch less than those used in the Washington city postofice in January last. Besides all this, as Postmaster Ainger says, new stamp was substituted in April last, three months after the letter is said to have been mailed, in which the arrangement of month, date and hour of cancelling and year is exactly reserved from what was used in January. The forgery initiates the form now used and not the form used and adopted nearly three months after the letter is said to have been mailed The importance of these details, which may be verified by any one possessing letter post-marked Washington in January last and comparing it with the fac-simile, is that the handwriting of General Garfield might be successfully counterfeited on official Congressional paper easily obtain able by an expert for that purpose but the postal stamp is official property of the United States government, and can only be used by it's sworn officials, and the postal stamps in use in this city are now, as they have been, in the custody of the postmaster of Washing ton.

THE STAMP C4NCELLER.

With every cancelled stamp used in the Washington postoffice, as in all large offices, there is attached and inseparable what is known as the stamp canceller.. The one in use here in January last was one inch and one-fourth in length, exceeding the length of the postage stamp one-quarter of an inch and so fixed that the outer edge of the stamp can- celler would be two inches from the outer edge of the outer portion of the cancelling stamp, making total breadth of two inches. Both are linked on the same buffer at the same time and fair impression of the one cannot exist without the other. If the origi- nal envelope, from which the fac-simile is said to have been made, had passed through the postoffice the cancelling marks would have been above, below and on the right side of the postage stamp, and would have formed an indelible part of the whole cancellation. The fac-simile represents, as before stated, the circle containing the name of the office on a straight line with the stamp with only one- eighth of an inch between the inner edge of the postage stamp and the outer edge of die. The stamp cancellation would have Tapped the postage stamp on it's outer edge, which neither the fac simile nor the original pretends to do.
Morning journal and courier., 1880-10-26

This is the serious omission which deter mines the whole thing to be forgery. That the fac -simile of cancellation is the exact size of the original is proved by the fact that the outlines of the postage stamp are the precise measurement of three-cent stamp. Answer has been made to Postmaster Ainger's card by the statement from Democratic sources that the letter was mailed from the branch of the city postoffice at the Capitol in order to explain the discrepancy he points out. To distinguish mail matter sent from the Capitol every cancellation bears in the rim of the die the word Congress" in addition to the words Washington, D. O." This the forgery does not have, showing that it does not pretend to have been mailed there
