THE TARIFF.

\ Clear Statement From Clear Head.
CaSsius Carter, Esq, san Antonio, Texas
DEAR SIR:-Yours Of the 3lst Of May
last was duly received at Washington
but being then much engaged | deferred
answering for a more convenient time,
when not engaged ! am not free
trader in the literal acceptation of the
term. My views on the tariff have been
often pronounced and are, | believe,
generally correctly understood.
would have the money necessary to
meet the eNigencies of the Federal
Government collected by duties on mer-
chandise imported to this country, so ad.
iusted rs tn raise the largest amount of
revenue at the least burtheu practicable
to the people, no more money to be
raised 10y this or any other form of taxa
ton than is absolutely necessary for the
purpose stated. | think this result
would he better attained by a .iudicious
discrimination as TO the articles on which
duty should he laid, than by uniform
rate on raw articles imported and such
rs are largely used by the poor and
lahoring population, and raw material
that does not enter into competition
with like material produced in this
country admitted free of duty, lower
duty on the cheaper and more gem
orally consumed merchandise, and
u higher rate of duty on the
more expensive articles that are not SO
essential to the comfort of the people,
and such as are produced in our own
country, not by way of protection on a
plan Of fair competition In the different
markets, but To guard against financial
disasters by too sudden and violent
change from the present excessive du-
ties, that operate, in many Instances,
rather rs buuutieS to individuals than
sources OF revenue to the United States
treasury. This, in very brief, i my
view OF the tariff question ut present
For the proper understanding OF this
question BY the people, think the for
nation of Democratic clubs would ac-
complish much good. Your obedicnt
servant, JOUN HANCOCK,
