under II. He stated in this connection
that sugar. which Is a revenue article, pro-
duces one fourth OF the revenue derived
from the tariff, there being six pounds I'M
por,ed for every pound raised In the United
States: that manufactured wool pays
more revenue by s7,0OO,OOO than all Of the
m,nus,ctnres made in whole or in part Of
wool bronght into the country. Governor
Coke next argued the consttutionality Of a
protective tariff, and gave his reasons in
strong language why he opposes the tariff
commission bill now before the Senate.
He alluded 70 our growing trade with
Mexico, and took the position that
American manufactures, saddled with u
tariff OF IS per cent. before leaving
orr soil. cannot compete with the manufac-
lures of France, Germany, and Great Bri-
tain. that only have TO pay the Mexican
tariff. Your correspondent has thus given
a hastv SYNOPSIS OF the speech OF one of the
ablcst tarin-reformers in Congress, and has
again 10 add that he does not believe any
material change will be made in the tariff
this Congress. IL looks, however, rs IL
there will bc many tariff speeches made.

sessions to-day on the tariil-commission
