WAR TARIFF IN TIME OF PEACE.

The Hon. DAVID \. WELLS, OF Con-
necticut, has addressed an open letter to
the manufacturers OF that State, to Illus
trate the inequalities OF the existing
tariff, and the importance OF carrying
out the Democratic programme for the
appointment OF q committee OF experts
TO revise it.
Mr.. WELLS shows that the present
tariff was framed Substantially in 1861 to
meet the exigencies OF a great war, when
a large revenue was required and no
time Tor the preparation oil details. As
consequence the tariff was iil-devised
in some respects, and has become, under
the changed conditions OF peace, absurd,
inconsistent and obstructive of renenue
anil terribly destructive OF commerce,
AMI of MANY domestic industries which
it is claimed to promote.
These excessive imports 90 more than
protect, IN many instances. They foster
oppressive monopolies. They give the
government an annual surplus of re-
ceipts over expenditures OF 500, OOO, 900.
They unnecessarily increase the cost OF
everything that the people eat, drink
and wear.
Mr.. WELLS then gives some striking
examples OF the unjust and oppressive
operation OF the tariff in certain ms
tanees. among them the following:
The business OF copper producing is
practically a monopoly OF few Lake
Superior companies, and they have a
tariff which so prevents all foreign COM
petition that during the year SIS only
one pound OF manufactured copper
was imported into the country, paying
into the treasury the enormous revenue
of five cents. Under the circum-
stances the copper monopolists
fix their own price to American
manufacturers; and, as they produce
more than the country can consume,
they sell the balance to foreign manu-
facturers at less price than they will
sell at home, the exports being under
the siipulations that the ingots shall at
once be remelted in Europe in order to
avoid reshipment at profit back again
to- the United States. With this dis.
elimination against them in the cost OF

letting the Republicans give out the i'm
preston that the Democratic party is
divided and the Republicans united on
this question. As a matter OF fact, the

this subject than the Democrats, and

always has been, in favor of so REFORM
ing the tariff as to protect the interests

Sinking jury Duty.

We thought We had heard or every coacety.
able excuse for Sinking jury duty, out a new
one has recently been Invented In the CITY of
New York. A juror asked to be excused on the
ground that he belonged to the Reformed
ffeSoSterlan church, the creed OF which, he
Sald, maintains that 1t is wrong to do any legal
business under the present Constitution of the
United states; since 1t does not mention Coz.
or acknowledge Him as the author OF national
existence and the source OF all power and au-
lnorlty In civil government, and Jesus Christ
as the ruler OF nations ana the Bib.e as the
foundation or law and the supreme rule for the
conduct Of nations" The Jury argued that as
Jurors are executive officer created by the
constitution: he could not conscientiously
serve on that account. But the court, taxing
different view OF the matter cruelty com.
peiied the scrupllouS man to serve. Wendell
Phillips after preparing for the bar declined
TO follow the profession, IT Is said because OF
the requirement OF an oath to support the
federal constitution His objection, however
was more radical than the pious jurors for he
denounced the constitution as "a Covenant
with death and league with HE'LL But we
should think the juror might be satisfied with
the Declaration OF Independence, which recog-
Dizes God, the Creator, the Supreme Judge, and
expresses ''firmi reliance on the protection OF
Divine Providence" In the act OF separation
from the mother country. Really resort to
the time hOnored excuses OF deafness or ina
bility to sit for any great length Of time would
appear more respectable than this piou5 pre-
tex OF honoring God by Sinking duty to MAN.
