EXPORT DUTIES IN BRAZIL.

cable report from Rio Janeiro recently
stated that import duties in Brazil might be
paid in paper, but with an increase OF per
cent on the present rates. This was good
piece of news for American exporters, whose
brazilian business has increased since the con-
clusion of the Reciprocity convention. 1t would
be more expensive to pay duties in gold, as
formerly exacted, than in paper, even with an
increase of 5 per cent. as is now allowed by the
Government of Rio Janeiro, whose policy Is to
favor foreign trade, especially as it is no longer
in want of gold to insure the payment Oh lts
external Indebtedness. Import duties can now
be paid in paper milreis, the Brazilian currency.
The milreis is worth 81 pence at par value, and
now exchange Is at ia difference Of 80 per
cent between gold and currency. The Brazilian
Government. on it's allowing importers to pay
no longer in gold but in paper, would have been
justified in increasing the custom house duties
by 80 per cent. Instead OF that 1t only requires
a surplus of per cent
While this is a decided gain to foreign ex-
porters the measure is easily explained, for the
Government of Rio Janeiro possesses now in its
vaults enough gold for the payment OF three
annuites of the foreign debt. This remarkably
prosperous situation is mainly due to the wise
policy pursued by Councillor Alencar Ararlpe,
the former Minister OF Finances, now Secretary
of the Interior, and by his successor at the head
of the Treasury, senior America Brasiliense,
the actual Minister Of Finances. Both of them
we're accused by INSCRIPTIONS spectators with
boarding gold instead of placing it at the dis
posal of unlimited speculative operations, which
might have dragged Brazil into the disastrous
conditions now experienced in the neighboring
Argentine Republic. But the bondholders of
Brazilian securities do not share these views,
and they are satisfied with having the credit
of the republic we'll maintained and strength
ened.
1t is estimated according to former statis-
tics, that the custom house Of Rio Janeiro pro-
duces monthly about $500, 900, and the reve-
nue. at other ports amounts TO the same sum.
The total of the,recepts is therefore estimated
at G12, 100000 annually. The service of the
external debt requires about f1,500,000 per
year; 81 ,000 900 is used for guarantees Of in
terest, and $500, 600 is reserved for the pur-
chase of war and navy material, for State rail-
roads and other purposes. These expenditures
amount to $4,000, 900. The Treasury would
hold therefore a surplus of 100000 in gold.
That explains how the Brazilian Government
could afford to allow the payment in currency
of custom house duties charging only an in
crease of per cent, when the difference be-
tween gold and the milreis amounts to 35 per
cent. The importers will profit by that meas
IRE and the Government of Brazil will not
suffer by it, since it has gold enough to secure
for three years to come the service of the ex-
ternal debt.

SENTENCED, But PROBABLY SAFE:

Three murderers, OF whose guilt nobody en-
tertains the slightest doubt, were sentenced
Yesterday by the General Term OF the Supreme
Court to be executed next month. There Is
grave doubt, however Notwithstanding the fair
ness of their trials, the justice of their oonvic-
ton and the weight of public opinion, whether
they will be put to death within the period
fixed by the court. The case of Wood is typical
of the obstacles which ingenious lawyers are
able to interpose in aid of murderers. This Is
the third time that he has been sentenced to
death. and It is to be apprehended that the
,udioiaI decree of the State of New-York will
remain SUSPENDED for his sake until Congress
has taken action to stop such exasperating and
harmful procedures.
The latest decision of the United States Su-
preme Court was at first so reported as to en-
courage the belief that an appeal operating as
q STAY. is not right which must be granted as
often as it Is asked for. But apparently that
understanding of the decision is erroneous.
Judge Lacombe, who had previously felt obliged
TO grant every such appeal, still holds the same
opinion of his duty. The Supreme Court at
WASHINGTON is always at liberty, we suppose, to
take cognizance of the acts OF lawyers who
waste its time and insult it's intelligence with
frivolous and disingenuous applications and argu-
ments but hitherto it has shown no inclination
to apply the remedy which such proceedings
might suggest and efforts to save the three
men who were sentenced yesterday from their
Just deserts are likely to be continued in
definitely.
The community, of course, recognizes the
shameful fact that there are numerous lawyers,
theoretically officers of the court and instru-
ments of Justice, whose dearest claim to dis
tinction is their ability to comfort and shelter
criminals and thus TO encourage and promote
crime. 1t is partly because this fact is constant
ly forced upon public attention that the pub
lie estimate of the legal fraternity in this city
Is so low The scoundrels OF the bar are so
conspicuous and their activity is so injurious
to the common welfare that the whole profession
is measurably degraded by their membership.
Unfortunately, too, the community is not per-
mitted to witness an action for dsbarment often
enough to rectify the impression that honest
lawyers are less jealous of their honor than they
ought to be. They now have an opportunity to
serve themselves and the whole State by help
ing to strengthen the popular demand for re-
vision of the statute under which convicted muir
derers bid fair to become the most favored ap-
plicants for life insurance policies.

were not then officially placed every month be-

10 be extracted with some labor from olnclai
reports About eighteen months ago The
tribune compiled with care from such reports
and published in a table the amount of circula-
ton per capita each year since the resumption
of specie payments, January 1, 1879, when the
amount was about ST. for each inhabtant. 1t
has never been as low at any time since, but
has gradually risen TO more than S23 for each
inhabitant, as above stated. But the amount OF
circulation between 1870 and 1880 has also
been carefully compiled from official reports
and il is enough to say that it was never less
than about SIT, nor more than about $40 for
each inhabitant.
Regarding the circulation prior 10 1870, there
may be found in the official report OF the
United States Treasurer, page 229 OF the
Finance Report for 1873 a a." comparative state
ment of the total currency outstanding Tor the
last twelve years." beginning with S147,126,-
235 in 1862, rising to S69s, 91S,S0O in 1868,
and declining as the war notes were retired to
S39s, 43O,562 in 1870. But the amount out
standingn as technically used in all Treasury
reports. includes all the currency once issued
but then lying in the Treasury, and there
fore includes much greater sums than were at
any one time in actual circulation. But If it
were not so, tho largest of the amounts named
as outstanding" at any time was not more
than $40 for each inhabitant
There were in existence during the war in
terest-bearing notes at 7.3 per cent, which have
by some been falsely included as part OF the
circulation, though in fact they were always
boarded by banks and capitalists for the high
interest they paid and formed no part of the
circulating medium. If these were all includ-
ed with all the other notes in circulation at the
time when the amount was greatest it was
never as much as $37 per capita, while the
truth as already stated is that large part OF
this amount was never in circulation as money
at all, and another large part is included in the
official statement as notes technically outstand-
ing but actually in the Treasury. The asser-
ton that the circulation ever reached $50 for
each inhabitant is absolutely false, and little
further from the truth than the other assertion
that the actual circulation, now over $23, is
only "a 80 for each inhabitant.
