If the tariff commissioners have a
sense of the ludcrous such sessions
as they have lately held in Phila.
delphia and Pittsburg must have
afforded them more amusement than
they could get from the most roaring farce
of the day. Last Monday the commission
heard large number of people in Philadel.
phia, and almost the whole of them wanted
some duty or other raised \ manufac-
turcr Of Venetian red asked to have the
duty on that pigment raised from u In IA
per cent. and the duty on COlCathar. now
free, put ut 80 per cent. The representative
OF a zinc and iron company asked that The
duty ON spiegeleiSen be nearly doubled
and that on barytes ore raised. A mann
iacturer oil dyewoOd extracts begged that
the duty on such extracts be largely in,
creased. a manufacturer of uuinine mott
toned tor new duty on that necessarv nr
life, and manufacturer of bottles brT,,cd
for an increased duty on these. Some wool
meN and some iron ore and pig iron mon
petitioned against any lower duties on these
articles; u manufacturer of pearl buttons
wanted higher duty on these; dealer in
pictures asked for duty of 80 per cent, on
works OF ART, and so on to the end Of con.
siderable chapter.
