The Tariff Deception--A Gigan-
tic Fraud.

The committee of Ways and Means,
and its sub-comnittees, are still
amusing the people about tarlf1 re-
auctions, while the committee them
selves are studying how not to do it.
Most of the existing tariff rates were
established during the war, and many |
of them are in fact prohibitory.
Since the close of the war, the great |
debt has been reduced seven hundred
millions of dollars. and the whole an
nual charge of interest reduced one
half. The war tariff however, still
essentially remains. 1t is full of pro-
hibitions and enormlties which are
a reproach to our intelligence. How
and when they can he reached. is a
most serious question. They are
hedged about by Il combination OF
monopoliSts, and a sort of tradition
airy saeredneSS. before which congress
stands enslaved in object cowardice.
Salt, that article which enters into
such daily use and dialy necessity.
stands untouched because of the On
ondaga monopoly. The abolition of
one monopoly endangers all others,
and the whole crew of mOnop0lists
stand solid in resisting any encroach-
ment upon their combined system of
| robbery and spoilS. The Committee
have refused to report any bill reduc-
ing the tax on important articles, but
to amuse the general public and de-
deceive voters just while the ''prim-
aries" are pending. they have permit
ted a subcommittee to make list OF
little things. and report a bill slight
~ reducing some excessive duties
and placing some things which actual
~ do not pay single cent of revenue
upon the free list. They have thus
amended homeopathically. The public
will readily recall the distinct promis
es made rs to this new bill. We were

The Davenport Democrat says IN speak
iDg of the resolution introduced in the
house by Hon. Hiram Price, that:
The resolution of Mr. Price, in the
house the ether day, requesting the sec
rotary of var to report whether there have
been any requests made fer rieht' of~way
across the government bridge at Daven-
port, by any railroad com paDy, and what
was done about it, is creating little agi-
tation in railroad circles. 1t is believed
that the bringing -up'of the question of
right to use the approaches TO the bridge.
now owned wholly by the c.. r. |. & p,
is the Object Of the resolution, and the
amount of toll charged BY the latter-the
right Of the government to build bridge
as partner to a railroad company, and al
low the latter to have the entire control of
the railway approaches to it, when the or
igina intention was to invite all railroads
running into Davenport and Rock Island
to use the bridge, so as to facilitate the
shipping facilities of the government at
the arsenal. This is the cat which lies
hidden in that meal. The c., r. /. & P.
folks stand ready to answer that they have
always been willing to allow other compa-
nies free use of the approaches and of the
bridge itself, provided they would pay
proper share Of the works, otherwise they
must pay toll. 1t is stated that member
of Congress from the east is ready to make
a speech on the resolution after the report
OF the Secretary of War is made, in which
he will claim that the toll charged at the
government bridge h ere is much too high.
he haying been informed it is So per car
for all local freight. while it does not enter
into the charge. except possibly. for mere
~ nominal sun, for through freight. 1t
will be suspected, of course, that the
eastern gentleman will speak in the inter-
est of one of the roads doing business 10
