The Queen's speech.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-Parliament reas-
sembled to-day. The following is the
Queens speech: My Lords and Gentle
men: | have brought you together to en-
able you to further consider the great
subiect of representation Of the people. l
continue to maintain relations OF amity
with all foreign powers. Information from
Soudan includes painful uncertainty, but
the energy, courage and o con-
spicuously displayed by Gen. Gordon, IN
the successful defense Of Khartoum, de-
serve my warm recognition. The advance
OF my troops to DoDgola has for its object
the rescue and security of that gallant
officer, and OF those who have so
faithfully c~o-operated with him. l am
using my best endeavor in Egypt to pro-
mote further improvement of affairs there.
/ have given my support to the Egyptian
Government III the difficult financial posi-
ton in which she was left through the
failure of a recent conference. l regret
the occurrence OF Transyaal, and am con-
sidering with the Cape government the
means to secure the observance OF a con-
vention Of the gentlemen of the House of
Commons. Operations in Soudan render
il necessary to ask Of you further p%ecuni-
airy provisions. My lords and gentlemen,
the bill for the extension OF a Par
liamen tary franchise will be at once intro
duced. May the blessing Of God attend
vaur lahors.

should be as high, propsrsionately, as on
iron or wooden goods, which are used by
the masses of the people. Let the rich
be compelled to pay as high a rate OF
taxes to the government on the Injuries
as the masses have to pay on the neces-
saries, and there will not be such just
cause for complaint at the inequalities oil
the tariff, as there is at present.
The latter part of Mr.. Seymour's letter,
as quoted, effectually answers senator
Jones who, in mis- speech at the Eureka
Opera House, Monday night, found SO
much to poke fun at in the Democratic
declaration that the rich should be made
to pay high duties on their Injuries, their
diamonds, their cashmere shawis, their
silks, ETC., while the duty on the articles
of necessity to all should be as low as
possible consistent with the welfare
of our various industries.

sEYMOuR ON THE TARIFF.

Ex.Gov. Seymour, of New York, has
published a letter on the tariff. He says
''there is no free trade party in our u
try, nor one opposed to raising the
largest share Of our national ven by
taxes on imports"
This proposition is not disputed by
politicians on either side, yet there are
well meaning people who think that one
of the two great parties into which the
people are divided favors free trade.
while the other advocates protection.
1t is obvious to everybody who gives
the subject a moments attention that
there cannot be free trade in the United
States, however desirable it may be to
farmers, SO long as a country owes a ma
tional debt Of 81, 200, 600, 900. and the
expenses of the Government aggregate
nearly $500, 600, 600 a year. That money
must be raised from the sale of public
lands, the revenue tax on liquors and to-
bacco, and the duties on imports. The
receipts from the sales of public lands
do not exceed over sl2,0 600, 900 o year,
and will gradually get less as the area Of
the public domain diminishes. The re-
ceipts from Internal Revenue are also
much less than heretofore, as the tax has
been abolished on many articles, and re-
duced on liquors and tobacco, so that
from SITS, 600. 900 to $500, 0O0. 900 must
be raised from duties on imported goods.
In the last fiscal year the revenue de-
rived from tariff on imports amounted to
Sl95. 900, 600, and the tariff now in force
cannot be materially reduced, whatever
party is in power, until the expenses
of the Government are much less
than they have been since the war.
The only question between the
parties relating to the tariff, is the
equalization of duties. and even on this
matter the lines which divide them are
not all defined. In the Western States,
the people, irrespective of party, favor
an increase on the tariff on Injuries, and
. decrease in the tariff on the necessaries
of life. They assert that the duty on
diamonds and other articles, which only
the wealthy can afford, should be as high
as the duty on articles which the farmer,
the artisan, or the laborer use. There is
nothing unreasonable in this proposition,
and the fact that we do not produce
diamonds, does not satisfactorily answer
the question, why Injuries should not be
taxed as high as the common necessaries
Of life. The rich will have diamonds
and cashmere shawls regardless Of what
they cost, and it is only common justice
that the tariff on such articles
