Twenty per cent. reduction from the
present low tariff, on all our most
important manufactures, and the abo-
lition Of specific duties entirely in all
csses where the advalorum system can
be made to apply, This, if we are not
mistaken will make the rate OF duties
lower by considerable margin than
those of Walkers tariff of 1S46 and
about the same as the last Democratic
tariff-that of 1857. The effect of it
may be illustrated by the result in one
kind of goods. The tariff of last
March reduced the duties on steel
railway bars to $500 per ton, and
the result was that the importation
was largely increased. This bill will
reduce it to $3.50 per ton and be
substantially no protection at all.
How they expect to reduce the reve.
nue. by bill that must substantially
close the mills, unless it be by max.
ing the country so poor our people
cannot buy, is puzzle to all unless
it may be to the free trade journals.
Of course this egregioUs folly cannot
become law, until the Democrats
control the Senate and the President
as we'll as the House but suppose they
succeed this fall then it will be real.
lied. Well as to what the working
men and farmers, without whose help
they cannot succeed, may expect as
the result of their victory they have
only to look back to the very last
loan a Democratic administration
asked for, we think to meet the ex.
penses of Harney's Mormon expedi.
ton. Five millions was wanted, and
average bid was II per cent interest
No borrowing then by the nation of
hundreds of millions at per cent,

sion in the United States Court at
Pittsburgh, last week, which is of con-
siderable interest to rivermen. It is TO
the effect that while it is the recog.
nized law that moving crafts are re-
quired to keep out of the way of sta
tionary vessels, the latter should be
anchored in such way as to inter.
fere with navigation as little as poss.
ible. When any loss occurs through
negligence in this matter the owner or
owners of the anchored vessels are
liable for damages.

President Arthur approves of the rec
concentration of the postmaster gen.
eral that the unit of weight in the rat.
ing of first class matter should be one
ounce instead of one half ounce, ~ Il
now is. He says in view of the statis-
dies furnished by the department it may
be well doubted whether the charge
would result IN any loss of revenue ;
st it would greatly promote the con-
venience Of the public is beyond dis
pute. It is to be hoped that this change
will be made. The saving of expense
to the people would be considerable,
and great source of annoyance avoided.
Comparatively few people possess letter
scales, and therefore cannot determine,
in a vast number of cases, how much
postage is required. Very frequently,
too much postage is paid, to make sure
of instant transmission. and still often
er, too little. With q two-cent stamp
for one ounce, instead of half an ounce,
as now, there would be no question in
regard to the vast majority Of ordinary
letters,

The line officers of the army are pre-.

and providing that CAPTAINS shall go on

tio1ed, and therefore deemed out of the
question, to remedy the evil by reduc-
ing the number of cadets of West Point,
which is the nursery of. army officers.
A comparatively slight reduction would
keep the chances of promotion, and
really the number of officers now in the
army is vastly out of proportion to the
number of soldiers. The same evil
prevails in the Navy, and to greater
extent.

People in all the large cities Of the
East who are aware of the low price Of
wheat are taxed as much as ever for
-four and bread. This gross injustice
elicits very strong compliments
through the newspapers, and frequent
suggestions are found in favor of govern,
ment regulation of this matter, as in
Europe. There the law compels all
bakers to make their loaves of q uni,
form weight, and the people know what
they are buying and how much q pound
they are paying. Here, where wheat
was never so low in the memory Of iv-
ing man, the people are taxed as mnch
IS ever for flour and bread. In an In
terview with New York baker he said /;
well, suppose flour has gone down, do
you suppose we're going to lower our
price, 80 long as we have no trouble in
getting the prices we now ask? It
amt reasonable to think so. I hope
you newspaper fellows amt a-going to
play the same trick on us here rs was
played in England some time ago.
Why, the London papers showed up
the bakers fearful. They said that
though hre.dstuffs was low, bread was
high; and country papers followed suit
and Lord bless you the bakers had to
give IN. So Will we il it comes to the

Chicago and Her Big Fire.
Tribune, Oct. 10.

Tribune Oct TO-
Thirteen years ago to-day Chicago
was smoking waste. For nearly two
days fire had swept over 1000 acres Of
it's fairest and most enterprising area,
destroying more than II 900 buildings,
among them all its public structures
and it's largest business houses, banks,
newspaper Offices and places of amuse-
ment, entailing loss Of $3.50. 900. 600 Of
property and turning nearly 100000 of
its people out of their homes.' In three
years Of time it was substantially re-
built and started upon a new career Of
prosperity. To-day scarcely trace
remains of that Widespread ruin. In its
place larger and finer structures have
risen, and north, south and west Chi
cago is reaching out end extending her
domirion. The horror of 1871 is now
scarcely remembered; at most it is but
q dim "reminiscences. Almost genera
ton has been added to its numbers and
crowds of newcomers have moved
here, so that large proportion of its
soc, 900 people have little actual knowl-
edge Of the events of those terrible
days, and SO far away have we drifted,
and 50 radient and magical have been
the changes, that probably few Of those
who passed through the fry ordeal re-
called it yesterday or would remember
il to-day but for this reminder.
