The Sky-Line of New Y fork, 1SS1-1S97

Scarcely any other great city in the
world has such a foreground, or rather
such forewater as Is furnished To New
York by the Upper Bay and the North
River. Even more the river than the
bay, for the city presents itself bows on
to the voyager who approaches Ii from the
Narrows, and shows In the southern view
confused mass o. ercctions OF various
form and formlessness Even this sight Is
almost as impressive as it Is confusing
But il Is only when Governors Island and
the Battery are cleared that the component
parts of this first view In the approach
from the sea become detached, and that
the panorama begins TO unroll itself. For
a mile and more IL reveals u chain of peaks
rising above the horizon, itself five or
six story horizon, and struggling or shoot
ing towards the sky. For another mile,
for two miles more, the peaks continue to
emerge, but they no longer form chain.
Fortunately every visitor from Europe
and every visitor from the West must get
his first sight of New York from the most
impressive point of view, and no visitor
of any sensibility from either quarter
can fail to be immensely impressed. The
inland American who regards the pros.
perity of the chief port of the country as
an index of the national prosperity will
exult in these huge evidences of that pros
perity; ard, surveying the long success
sion Of towers, will hail the American
metropolis as Mr.. Kiplings colonist halls
the British metropolis as
The Bank OF the Open Credit,
The Power House OF the Line.
Many such inland visitors there are.
There is anothey kind of inland visitor, Of
which we had a'conspicuous example last
summer, who instead of regarding the
prosperity of the port as an index, Of the
prosperity of the country behind IL,
looks upon its prosperity as hav-
ing been acquired somehow at tho
expense of the interior, and seems to him.
self to be invading 1.-THE cncmy's coun-
try Even SO, nc has TO own that "the
enemy" seems to be fairly well fortified
and not too easily pregnable. AS for the
European. whose prepossessions are. those
of a hemispherical provincialism, he is the
more astonishcd the moro cities of men
and manner he has seen. Whether or not
his first impression of New York Is agree
able it is tremendously forcible IL Is
yiyidly present to him at the first view
that Europe Is three thouaand miles away.
AS his steamer picks her WAY through the
traffic which crowds the river, past the
hup,lutilitarian structures that dwarf into
obscurity she spires OF churches and the
low domcs OF public monuments it seems
10 him that he has never before seen q
water front that so imprcssively and
exclusively looked like business. "-Har-

As was to bc expected we are hearing a
good deal of retaliation on the part of
Canada for some Of the Dinglcy bill
schedules and the MuJwumps rejoice at
the prospect Every Mugwump has i'm
plicit faith in the principle of retaliation,
although he has no use at all for recipro-
city and considers IL only myth. But
retaliation Is substantial, big thing,
especially when it is proposed by foreign
nation against your Uncle Sam. So the
Mugwump is gleeful because Of the Cana
dian talk Of retaliation for the coal and
lumber duty. OF course retaliation by
Canada Is all stuff and nonsense. The
Canadian duty on soft coal is now only
eight cents "A ton below the proposed Ding
10y bill rate and the raising of the tax by
that amount will not be burden on our
exports. As 10 hard coal the Canadians
have To buy IL from the United States
and If they want 10 pay an import tax no
one else need complain at that kind of
retaliation. +"

THE NEW TARIFF.

! Dinglcy of Maine, chairman Of tho Com
mittee on Ways and Means of the House
of Representatives, was formally read at
yesterdays session and the discussion of
IL was opened by Congressman Dingley.
The bill thus presented is designed to
| meet a condition and not theory. 1t Is
in the first place bin to create revenue TO
meet the deficiency caused by the existing
tariff which has averaged during the past
! -four years $50, OOO, OO0 annually, and which
was the result Of falling of in revenue
| from taxation of imports and not from
| internal taxes. In the next place measures
had to be taken to so impose the taxes as
to secure TO the American people the pro-
| duction and manufacture OF such articles
as we can produce or make ourselves
| without natural disadvantage and thus
once more provide employment for Ameri
can labor at American wages. As an inn
portant factor in the machinery of revenue
raising and protection, specific duties have
been, so far as Is possible, substituted for
the nd valorcm system that predominatcd
| in the atrocious and ridiculous Wilson
| tariff under which system the treasury
has undoubtedly been badly dcfrauded
| while the home market has been placed
at greater. disadvantage than tho
schedules would normally have created.
Mr. Dinglcy expects that in the second
year of its operation the new tariff will
yield additional revenue amounting TO
Sl00, 0o0 600. This viii meet the dc T.
cheney and provide for the in
tcrest on the increased national debt
created during the past four years and
viii begin n reduction of that debt as we'll
The new bill restores the rates Of tho
Mckinley bill of eleven and twelve cents
| protection duties on wool with tho ad va
| lorcm revenue duties on carpet woods,
which latter are not grown in this coun-
try. On wool manufactures the duties
are redrawn as specific duties i'm place of
the ruinous nd yalorem rates. 1t is esti-
mated that tho new duties are the equlva-
lent OF the Mckinley rates The cotton
schedule Is little changed from that Of tho
present tariff There is II tax on sugar
and this Is distinctly revenue tax for
| which poor and rich must pay until the
| burden is lifted off the United States
treasury The iron and steel schedule Is
reduced from the Mckinley rate, dia-
monds pay higher tax and works of art,
| which wero free under the Wilson tariff,
were dutiablo ut 10 per cent. in tho Nc
kinlcy tariff, are made dutiablc at % per
cent. in the Dinglcy bill. This art sched-
ulc has created quito flutter among pro-
| tcctionists but ii Is another revenue tax,
not protection tax, and something must
be assessed to pay the bills of the Clcvo-
land administration.
There is apparent u feeling that the new
tariff may be too high But the test will
come us to that and it Is bettcr that it bc
too high than too low We have with
in the past eight years, learned by severe
experience that u low tariff is not bound
to be revenue producer and that high
tariff does not make suffering among the
people.
