We take the following extract from
a letter written by Congressman N.
G. Blanchard to the editor of the
Claiborne Guardian:
GAS senior Senator of the State,
Gibaon's advice has been sought by
the President in every instance where
he has made an. appointment in Lou
isiana, and taken. He deservedly
ranks high in influence with the
President and his cabinet, and his
recommendations have been made in
the interest Of good and pure gov
eminent, and not to subserve selfish
ends"

Reforming the Tariff.


The circular letter of the Secretary |
of the Treasury relative to the sub
stitution'of specific for ad valorem
duties, which has been recently pub
ished, and which is being sent to
leading importers andrepresentatives
Of various industries throughout the
country, indicates pretty clearly that
the administration expects that the
tariff issue will occupy large part
Of the attention. of Congress next
Winter. The Secretary of the Treas
AIRY is, therefore, collecting informa
tion which, at the proper time, hewill
submit to Congress.
He had not been long at the head
of the Treasury Department when he
discovered that the government was
being defrauded out OF many millions
Of dollars annually. The system of
undertaking goods had become so
perfect that those who were chiefly
concerned in, it felt secure against
detection. Some were detected, how
ever, and within. the last month a
millionaire importer has been sent to
prison for term of years,
But Secretary Manning in sending
out his circular has something more
in view than in getting expressions
of opinion relative to the ACCESSIBILITY
Of abolishing the system of ad
valorem duties and, substituting for
it the specific system. He clearly has
in mind the increasing demand for a
reduction of the tariff, and he expects
that the replies to his circular letter
will enable him to, furnish Congress
with information relative to the tariff,
much more valuable and more to the
point than that which was furnished
by the tariff commission. It will
probably not be denied that the re-
suits of the work of that commission
were not very useful, although the
government paid very extravagant
price for them. The commission pre-
sented q great mass of facts and
opinions, which few took the trouble
to examine, and those who did exam
inc them were SO completely at loss
to understand them that they asked
no one to follow their example.
As the information which the Sec
rotary of the Treasury is collecting
will be confined to replies to few
questions that cover the whole sub
iect under consideration, and as it
viii be to the point and will be to
furnish facts or express opinions, it
is probable that it will afford Con-
gross starting point in the work for
reforming the tariff.
1t is probable that if the work of
reforming the tariff is once begun it
will not be stopped as soon as one
abuse has been corrected. The de-
mand that under-valuations shall not
be permitted is not greater than that
the duties shall be reduced
The Secretary of the Treasury
could not have adopted better
mode and better time than he has
for calling attention to the necessity
Of reforming the tariff. Importers
who have suffered on account of the
lately discovered frauds seem willing
to talk freely, and the country is
forced to recognize that there is need
for reform where there is SO much
crookedness and complaint

that he spent considerable time prospect

10 me that there might be no harm In

Is, the elevation Of himself to Judge John
