n Portuguese Rag Raised.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The news received
yesterday from Cape Town that "a
Portuguese force had seized Mutacas
Karsal, at Maniea, South Africa, and
hauled down the British flag, replacing
it with the flag of Portugal,

guese government. The action did
not result from any instruction issued
by the government or the Mozambique
Company. 1t is supposed here that the
instructions had not arrived at Manica

legged to have taken place.

59. So per cent. This I hope is clear
enough for every body to understand.
That the full pound of flesh duty on
nearly all carpets except perhaps the
lowest price goods, which is, as shown,
prohibited, is taken by our home man
ufacturers is demonstrated and proved
by statistical facts, namely, in 1856 we
imported 81 ,329 $40 worth of carpets of
all sorts and collected duty of 1863.
S14 on it at the average rate of 1864
per cent.
Can anyone in his sober senses be-
lieve that importers actually paid this
S659, ,S74 duty simply for the benefit of
the Treasury? Or that English import
ers paid this duty? The fact is, in 1856
the carpet manufacturers of the Unit
ed states paid duty of 81, l9S, l49 on
foreign imported carpet wool. This
fact alone must convince unbiased
minds that all our homemade carpets
are bound TO be higher ia price. Free
wool and free jute and duty of %, or
even 80 per cent. on manufactured
carpets win relieve both the manufact-
urer and the taxpayer.
Now i wish my much-swindled and
op pressed taxpayipg friends fully to
understand that if / had it in my sole
power to take off the whole tax or duty
ana make them free of duty, j would
certainly not do it all at once. | do
not believe in policy that goes from
one extreme to the other, but with
free carpet wool, free jute, and free oil
there is no necessity OF a greater dutv
than 70 per cent. on the above articles.
which would certainly not DESTROY
the home industry, but would rather
give our manufacturers a chance TO ex-
port carpets and floor. cloth, and would
relieve the consumers ofthese products
Of more than half the tax. But there

A Year of Republican Control.

That amiable Republican survival,
the Hon Henry Laurens Dawes, has
enriched our esteemed contemporary,
the Forum, with some optimistic re-
marks on "A Year of Repu ublican Con-
troll 1t is needless to say that ..
year Of Republican control seen through
Gran.her Dawes spectaeIes looks as
| sweet as honey dew and milk Of Para
disc. His simple political creed and
philosophy is, Whatever is Republi-
can is right, has been, and ever shall
be, right; SO he is prepared to point
with pride at year in which the Re-
from HosIer chills, According to the
beaming old boy from Massachusetts,
the Republican attitude in regard to
the tariff is glorious and bold. Said
attitude seems TO consist up to date in
resolutely doing nothing, and determ-
lining to do nothing, and waiting for
| the free trade Democracy to come
forth and cavort. The Administra-
ton is distinguished by positive and
aggressive Americanism, he says;
such. for instance, as was display ed in
the Samoan treaty.
Vigorous and aggressive natiopalism
seems to be the Republican policy if
Senator Dawes knows himself. "The

tuition was ordained. 1t acknowledges
its obligation to educate for the ballot

opportunity for all the people III every
walk of life - We have not ourselves
observed that the Government has as
yet acknowledged that obligation and
that duty; and when it opens wide the
gates of opportunity, the gates of the
Treasury will have to go.
On the whole, Mr.. Dawes best sue
ceeds in being happy about the past of
the Administration by hanging a rosy
h aio around its future. With an ad-
mirable cheerfuness he says that "the
future is full encouragement" 1t is.
it is. What would the future be
for to any mortal man, If he were
not permitted to believe it full Of
encouragement? Considering the cho-
rus and symphony of kicks and growls
that arise from so many Republicans
as they muse upon the Hoosier night
mare. the hopeful spirit of the Pitts
field patriarch deserves patting on the
back. In the way Of taking hard
things softly there has been nothing
like it since the case of the optimistic
condemned murderer whose only sor-
row as he contemplated the gallows
tree was that he couldn't be hanged
more frequently SO as to counteract an
hereditary tendency to locomotor
ataxia.
But hear Granther Dawes make q
joyful noise: THE public judgment is
clear and unmistakable that the pub
lie confidence has not been misplaced"
If the judgment rendered by Ohio, Vir-
ginia, and Iowa last fall may be taken
as specimen of the public Judgment.
the confidence of Mr.. Dawes has been
sadly misplaced, and his faculty of
judgment Temporarily mislaid.-Sun.
