What Are Tariffs For?

Tho DlsPATCH announces the doctrine that n
Democratic "Congrc9s will never frame a tarin
upon the theory tina. that body has no power
under the Constitution TO levy custom duties for
any other purpose than to raise revenue '-i'd-
triot and Herad.
The Patriot and Herald states our conten-
ton correctly. We have argued that point
and have gone no further. We MAINTAIN
that for q hundred years tariffs have been
framed in this country having objects
other than the raising of revenue. All re-
ciproclty treaties. for example, are based
upon a totally different theory from that
which we combat. And the Supreme Court
OF the United States has had before that
tribunal case after case in which the
question Of the power of Congress to levy
customs duties for other purposes
than revenue might have been raised
by the court. or ono or more OF
the Justices, or by counsel, but has
never yet pronounced tariff legislation
for other objects than revenue 10 be
in violation of tho Federal Constitution.
1t is too late TO raise this question. 1t may
be wrong 20 levy customs duties for other
than revenue purposes, but it Is not I'M
constitutional. Why, then, are the existing
cOuntervailing duties upon tobacco. cigars
cheroots, cigarettes, 80. levied, not to
raise revenue from those articles, but to
prevent the growers and manufacturers
of the same from being undersold here at
home as a consequence of the heavy inter
nal taxes? Why does not somebody have
those countervailing duties pronounced
unconstitutional? The tax upon the cir
culating notes of State banks was levied
not to raise revenue, but to drive those
notes out of circulation and yet.the Su-
preme Court of the United States has de-
cided that that tax is not unconstitutional.

Sidewalks and Back-Lots.

The Newark Adueriser Is keeping before
the people of that city the importance of
individual effort in securing efficient SAM
tation there.
1t is working on the same line that the
DIsPATcH is, but is able 10 go q little fur
ther because Newark seems to have more
rigid ordinances than Richmond mas.
There, no person is allowed TO litter the
streets with paper. banana, orange-peel.
&c. Here everybody seems at liberty to do
IL. Sometimes Main and Broad streets
look shockingly ill-kept from this cause
IL is true that this sort of litter does net
necessarily breed disease, but people who
are content to put up with this unoleanl-
ness will easily become tolerant of worse
things.
We should like to see Richmond the
cleanest city IN the country. IL could
easily be made so if our citizens would help
themselves little more and depend upon
the Board of Health httlo less. There
are persons OF means hero who would wait
weeks and weeks for Board Of III ealth
cart to come to carry of their ash and
refuse piles rather than spend half dol
IhE upon u pTlNdto Cufluhu. iuts IN rs re-
markable as it is irrational.
Our Board of Health cannot do every
thing that is expected of il it has not the
means, nor is il likely that 1t will ever DO
able to get them. However that may be.
II Is certain that no city ever has been or
ever will be made thoroughly clean with
out the personal efforts of its inhabitants.
Look TO your back lots Spend dollar
or two In cleaning them. Help yourselves
II you are able TO do II, AMI DO sure that
oil the means at the disposal of the Board
OF Health can be fully employed in help
lug those who are too poor TO help them
selves. including a class that has great
capacity for disseminating dangerous dis
eases.
This week, when the city will be full of
strangers. we should all take pride IN
making IL look as bright and clean and at
tractive as possible. We trust that the
Board OF Health will be able to arrange Its
work so as to give very particular atten-
tion to the cleaning of Main. Broad. Ninth.
and other such streets. which are re-
cognized as our chief thoroughfares.
The Capitol Square and all of the city
parks for like reasons should be PUT in tip
top order. 1t is season Of the year when
Richmond can be made TO look lovely. aud
Il will be the fault of her people If it does
not presen. that appearance on Hollywood

A Word for the Chinese.

In the following communication the au-
thor OF it. the Rev. II. B. HUDSON. en-
deavors to make out case IN favor of the
Chinese and against the people of tho
United States. He goes back forty years
to find O reason for allowing this country
to be overrun by heathen Mongols Tho
argument leads to the conclusion that the
day Will mover come when America can
protect herself from China without vio-
lating treaty Obligations.
When the BURIINGAME treaty was made
the people of this country knew nothing
as TO what manner of men the Chinese
were. Experience has taught us that they
are not fit associates for Caucasians, and
can never become desirable members OF
the body polite. We have learned, to use
the words OF Judge HILLBoBS. of San
Francisco. that the Chinese question IS
conflict of civilizations. A generation of
Caucasian foreigners leave children born
and raised in this country who differ IN no
wise from the rest of the population. The
children of Germans, IRISH. Scotch, Eng
lish. Italians. Hungarians. Austrians,
Spaniards. aud Americans all appear to be
OF one blood. They can intermsrry with
out the least improperly and without be-
coming traitors to their race and dis
grace to the countries from which their
parents migrated. But the Chinese are
Mongols-the victims of an arrested civil
zation-unfit to associate upon equal terms
with the whites OF this continent. unfit 10
be allowed even a settlement of their own
destroyers of the value of property where
they make particular quarter OF any city
their home, and. in word, beings inferior
to the people by whom the New World
ought 20 be populated.
Judge HILLnosN says that the Chinese
can work eighteen hours out OF the twen-
ty-four. How can our working classes
compete with such people? He says they
can live on handful of nee; that they
cut wages from So dag to $3.50, then to
81, then TO 80, and they would work for
10 cents day and live on it if forced to
do So" Away with such cancers on the
body politic--such relics OF past that
must never be allowed to appear again
amongst men 1T TO be called men. MIR.

A Week of Memories.

Inevitably there will come 10 our
elderly people this week rush Of
memories imprinted thirty-two years
ago. when tho capital Of the Confederate
States Of America was removed here from
Montgomery and President DAVIS and his
family and Cabinet came TO share with us
the chances Of war-memories which have
grown dim. but never have been, never
can be wholly eGaced.
The season of the year is the same, each
tree and bush is now, as then. in the ma
turlty OF its foliage. Every field is green.
There IL with us tho gladness OF summer.
without its fervid heat. The face OF
naturo is bcaming with smiles, and her
breath is perfumed with the odors OF
flowers nnd forests. Still the chirping of
birds is heard along with the plash OF foun-
tains on the Capitol Square. Still merry
urchins frolc upon ITS green sward, or
play games arodnd the monument. Still
our mighty river goes bounding over the
rocks towards the sea. san the Chester
field lowlands present their smiling face TO
US. But how little else here remains I'M
changed? Time has been with u, and his
scythe has cut wide swaths.
Those three decades gone represent
much history made much yalor displayed,
much suffering ondurod-dceds that must
always live. names that cannot die.
Then. as now all the South Watched q
railroad train: then the train started from
Montgomery. Now IT starts from New Or
leans. Then our chief had the light of
battle in bis eve. Now he comes from out
q scpulchre where be has lain more than
three years. Then. too, there were Demon
STATIONS all along ms route, but they were
demonstrations OF Joy. Then the bands
played fierce battle music. Then men
fwore "to 1.-Two or die for Dixie" Then
the women brought HIM laurol-wreaths.
Now they will bring immorteles for his
coffin and his grave. Now will be heard
the funeral march and the muillel drum.
No change could DO made greater; it IS
from life 10 death. But despite the years
that have passed. the war that has been
fought. the defeat that We have suffered, the
agonies We have survived. our hearts ore
unchanged towards our dead loader. The
love we bore him alive now enshrInes his
memory.
He was a grand old man. A nations
wrath was heaped upon him. but it never
weakened his firm bearing or blanched his
checks. He would have died like MARTYR
bad they dared TO put him TO the test. AZ
1t was he died the one American who had
lived quarter of a century without
country.
Richmond feels honored in being charged
with the keeping of his body, and il Is
we'll that be. tho Confederate chief, should
lie III this great bivouac OF Confederate
dead awaiting the last trump.

Tho Immigrants We Want.

Referffny again 10 the declaration OF THs
RICHMOND DISPATCH that the only Immigrants
We need are land buying immigrants, we wouid
respectfully suggest that the next Legislature
will have II in It's power 10 bring such people 70
Virginia. Several plans could easily DO pro-
posed, bu, It occurs 20 us now that the best
vouIs be for the Legislature 70 mako an sppro-
priatlon suficiont 10 maintain In Germany an
immigration agent OF tho state for the purpose
of inducing German farmers tocome to virginia
and purchase lands which can be had at from
90 10 slO per acre.
What SAYS tho DISPATCH 70 this proposition =
Roanoke Record.
Itmight do. II is worthy of thoughtful
consideration; but as at present advised
we are OF the opinion that the best way
20 get immigrants here IS through the I'M
migrants whom we now have settled
amongst us.
II is in the power OF each British, Ger
man, or other foreign citizen who comes
here. and who is satisfied with tho lands
he has bought. the prices he has paid
therefor. and the people no has met, 10
induce many others TO come TO bis neigh
borhood.
The great mass of settlers in the West
have been secured in this way. 1t IS no
longer lawful in many European countries
10 make rose-colored representations as TO
the prospects of this. that, or the other
section Of America. Besides. 30 many
people have been tho victims OF fraudu-
lent land.sellers and of hesrtless lot-boom-
ers in the North and West that intending
Immigrants who have money are careful TO
whom they entrust It.
A few words from their kin or connec-
tioDs or former neighbors now settled IN
Virginia would 60 farther with them than
the most elaborate presentation OF our
cause by any paid agent We could employ.
We would have Virginia work systemati-
oaly through her citizens Of foreign BIRTH
In this way we are satisfied that much
can be done. Zach family of good
people that we secure and furnish happy
home to can persuade another family to
come over from the old country. And so
the tide will soon set our way.
OF course It IL useless TO bring mere labor
ers here. They could not and would not care
TO compete with negro laborers. We want
land-buying people or persons proficient
in some profession or skilled in some
handwork.

Richmond, though In the main a progressive
city, somehow manages TO keep behind the times
in many things-nOtably street-car service, lrst-
class modern hotels, and anti-town-cow orJi-
nancss.-DaHrQie Register.
We do not admit the justice Of any of
these three observations. but we are par
ticularly surprised at that one about our
street-car service. We know of no COM
munity of our size that has bet

still further improved by substituting
electricians for mule-cars on Broad street.

Surprising Carelessness.

II appears now that the Chinese exclu.
sion law cannot be carried into effect be-
cause Congress did not provide IN that
law how or by whom the Chinese offend
ing against it should be deoorted to China.
This is indeed a surprising omission when
we reeolleot how many able lawyers there
are always in the two houses of Congress.
The law SAYS that it shall be the duty OF
any United States Judge before whom Of
tending Chinese are arraigned to order
that they be " deported from the United
States" if the offence be proved. Bu,
whom has the United States judge power
to order" to perform this dutyS No.
body at ali.
Stranger STILL. this law has been pro-
nouncod constitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States and yet that
august tribunal gave not n hint that there
was any such serious defect in the law as
the one now under consideration. How
blind We mortals be-"
