THE DAILY EVEJNIMQ TELEGRAm PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 18C9. 8 CITY IIVTKIiHwi:i!t,E THE WAREHOUSING SYSTEM. An l-.iot" Document In Ie1Ulon Theretsv rhe Hnblect Fnllv on.ldered the Iate MeliMIr the Bw4r Trade. w . Tim warehousing system of thin country dm for Rome iftM caused considerable discussion among our com merclal men. At several of the recent meeting of the Board of Tra-le of thin city, the nuiJect wag un der discussion. At the meetlnK on Monday night, the special oommlttco, cooslBtlng of Ueorge L. Kazby. Esq., and George N. Allen, Esq., appointed for the purpose, submitted along report, from which the following hai been abstracted It wan a leading design of this system to make onr rrcat cities depot for the re-export of foreign goods which might be brought into this country. To effect this purpose, it facilitates their Importation by the provision on the part of our Government of vast li'orage accommodations for them. It was also de plned through its means to fnrnlHh onr people with articles of foreign manufacture. It thus acts directly pon the mnnufacturlng Interests of the United fttate. Your committee propose to comment briefly upon these two points, In the order above stated. According to a report submitted to Congress In imn "the wareuotiHes were folly established In this country in 1850. The re-exports from hem for that year amounted to f 5,000,000. in 3800 the re-exports amounted to $0,600,000. trnr total exports, foreign and domestic, In lr6 amounted to fnfiO.Ooo.ooo. The exports from our bonded warehouses for tiiat year did not exceed 18 000 000 not two per cent, of the entire export According to the estimates of those best Informed, the vearlv exports from these warehouses do not exceed 19,000,000. 1 he project of making the bonded warehoiiHC t;' entrepot of a universal commerce kas been found impracticable. Tito expense with which It Ib attended demands that it should be either materially modiiled or wholly abolished." It was a VBln conceit that, this country could, In the comparative Iniumiurily ol her industrial pur suits vie with lorel'rn commies in the distribution tit their wares among other nations, (treat Britain, who for centuries has encouraged by appropriate legislation her manufacturing inn-rests, and placed them upon so sure a foundation that they now defy competition, can atrord to smile at our subordinate function of distributors of her wares. Our true policy never lav in building up a warehousing sys tem for the beneilt of foreigners, but in such legisla tion as should develop and perfect our own manu factures, until their acknowledged excellence should bring purchasers from every quarter to our doors. The second point to be considered Is the posttive Injury done to our domestic manufactures by this Bjstem. Under Us provisions, foreign goods can be held In warehouse for an entire year without pay ment of duties, and for the extended period of three years, at the option of the holder, without Incurring more than an addition of ten per cent, to the origi nal charges. During one whole year the Govern ment exacts no Interest on unpaid duties, making thus a handsome donation to the Importer of foreign goods to assist him In competing with our own manufacturers. In short, the Government furnishes lm gratuitously with capital for the transaction of his business. About half of all the goods imported are entered for warehousing. In 1S0T duties were paid on 8127,541,016 of merchandise; there were warehoused $H0,irC,9!tfl, or about Mfltf per cent, of the entire imports Into the city of New York for that J ;ar. For the first three months of lSGS the values were follows: ntered and duties paid 130,241,403 X itered and warehoused 2H,dii,459 r nearlv B0 Der cent, of the whole. To estimate properly the excessive generosity of nr Government in Its concessions to foreign Inter ests, we must consider the proportion that the amount of duties bears to the valne of the merchan. dise on which they are levied. There were In warehouse: April 30, '6T, 128,802,553; duties chargeable,13.400,ooo July 1, " 82,021,803; " " 18,000,000 Jany 1, '63, 81.491,824: " " 15,250,000 from this table we learn that the duties charge- Able amount to fifty per cent, of the values remain , lng In warehouse. During 1808 there was an aver age value of f43,ooo,ooo 01 imported commodities constantly In warehouse. As Just exhibited, the half of this amount will give us the total of chargeable duties, Bay f21,50o,ooo. Interest at six per cent on this sum gives 11,290,000 as the value of the dona tion bestowed In lnuu by our too liberal Government upon foreign manufacturers and producers. The foreigner- and his representative on this Bide of the Atlantic eujoy a large immu nlty from rent and store expenses. as compared with those borne by a regular American Importer. Tills fact, in connection with the saving of interest Just named, enables them to drive the latter from the Held. The people of this country are taxed to furnish to strangers conveniences Injurious to themselves; for of the gross amount of merchandise In the bonded warehouses, the portion competing with the products of our own pe Dlo is a very larga one. Careful investigation has revealed the fact that there is a perpetual reserve of more than 820,000.000 In value of competing goods. These are piled upon the edge of the market, ready to burst upon It and de range prices at any fine. It appears, therefore, th.it the warehousing system, In effect, otters a premium upon foreign manufac tures, and thus militates against our own. As we Bee no reason why our Government should continue to Bupport a policy injurious to its own citizens, your committee recommend the passage of the fol lowing law by Congress: That upon the withdrawal of any goods, wares, or Merchandise for consumption, there shall te paid by the owner, Importer, consignee, or agent of such goods, wares, or merchandise, in addition to the proper duties or charges, interest at the rate ol bix per cent per annum upon the whole amount of the lutics upon such goods, wares, or merchandise from the time of the entry of such goods for warehousing until the withdrawal, of the same for consumption. Such Interest to be paid in the same denomination as duties are payable. The report was debated at length. In opposition to it several of the speakers con tended that this proposition was in effect an Increase Incidentally of the tatiff npo;i Imported goods pro tanto, and that in the interest ef Pennsylvania indus try, at the present time seriously threatened by free trade combinations, commanding unlimited amounts of money, and enlisting much ability in a concen trated attack upon the whole system and no' icy of protective duties, the Board of Trade of Philadel phia should be very cautious not to take anv position which should alienate the commercial importing class from It support by a proposition tending to restrict commerce and deprive It of those facilities which seem to be the natural and indispensable re quirements of modern commercial expansion. The subject was finally postponed until the next meeting. Attempted Arson. Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning the residents of the Ninth precinct or the Flist ward vere aroused by the Buniraon&of a heavy rattle, accompanied by the discharge or a double barrelled gun, and cries of "Are" proceeding from the residence of a fauilly Darned Kurscher.

"I did not hear any reply, but turned to my wcrk ; one man stood with his back towards me, dressed, I think, in light clothing; two men stood facing each other, so that I saw the profiles of their coun tenances; I turned Immediately to my work, paying no further attention to them, and was just com mencing to transcribe the entries In full on my book, when, without having heard any one near me, I heard an explosion ,and felt my back struck as by a blunt iristruinolit ; I then turned suddenly and leoked; the man was just darting out of the office door; here Is an office, and there is a partition, right through the store, a glass partition, and the man who had tired the pistol was just dart ing out the office door, and in his hurry he seemed to strike against the right hand man, and the left hand man stooped with his lace towards me, and having a blackjack in his hand ; I could see the loop hang ing down ; at least I think 1 could ; he let fly at me, striking me a glancing blow on the temple: and whether I was confused I can't say, but I cau't re collect anything until I got to the door of the store; when I saw Tim McOuire, a distiller, at the corner of Thirteenth and Bnttonwood streets, look ing in, and I recollect at that time I was tugging with my pistol to get it out; the hammer was caught in the lining of my pocket ; and as I turned running up the sidewalk, tugging at my pistol, I saw the last man get Into the carriage; the carriage was going off at full speed, and this man hud great difficulty In holding on to get Into It; the door was open, and he was struggling to get np the steps ; by the time I had got my pistol out the door was closed, and the carriage was between rows of horses and wagons, and there were a great many people on tho street, and I don't kuow but I ran yelling, ''Stop them !

Whnt is it, mid what will cure it? It Is a fact that will not be controverted that Dyspepsia is a national disease, to be found from the Presi dential mauBion to the humble cottao along tho marches ot the Atlantic. Symptoms There are scarcely two cases of Dyspepsia alike. The symptoms vary. In ono caso they may be cold hands and feet, oppressive soreness and pain in the pit of the stomach, drowsiness after meals. In another, costiveness, heartburn (bo called), tormenting feelings, both mental and physical. In a third, nervousness, the spirits depressed, a foreboding of evil, the mind so depressed that in some cases there is extreme melancholy, and tho sufferer Is led to commit suicide. In another, harassing bclchings, saliva or a watery sub stance profusely running from the mouth, throat Irritated -with a dry cough, skin dry, then cold, the stools clay colored, restlessness at night, 6lecp easily disturbed, frightful dreams, at one time bowels constipated, then diarrhoea or dysen tery, caused by foul matter In tho stomach, caus ing apoplexy and other diseases beyond the power of human skill te control. What will cure it? By indigestion the food lies in the stomach and is decomposed by heat, etc., into a mucus; this mucus adheres to the walls of the stpmach until a false membrane is formed, which para lyzes the functions of the digestive organs. To perform a cure this false membrane must be de tached, and the stomach healed and brought hack to natural tone; without effecting this, it impossible to effect a cure, and iu this mode of : treat men t lies Dr. L. Q. C. WISHAR FJ3 wonderful cures of the Dyspepsia. The Dyspepsia Pilla remove the falee lining, and the Pine Tree Tar Cordial heals, making a perfect cure of thii dreadful disease. THE VIRTUES OP TAR. A very Ingenious "sell" upon the Roynl So ciety of Great Britain was perpetrated by Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, a wicked wag of the age, during the furore caused by tho discovery of the wonderful healing powers of TAR WATER Sir Charles sent a communication to the President relating the circumstances of a sailor's breaking his leg on board of the guard ship at Chatham, and its perfect union and cure by an application of spun oakum soaked in tar. After the communication had been read and printed in the Royal Transactions, he sent a second letter, stating that he had forgotten to state In the former correspondence that the leg was a wooden one! Although this joke was a sore one for the society, it did not injure the reputation of Tar ns a remedy, for its legitimate cures were so wonderful that odes were written In its praise, and the celebrated Bishop Berkely published two voluminous works describing, endorsiog, and registering its virtues. From the failure o scientific men, at that period, to extract and concentrate the curative principle from the crude tar, its nausoousnoss caused it to fall into disuse, and its great healing powers were lost to mankind until Dr. L. Q. C. Wlehart succeeded in depriving the specific of its unpleasant and cruder pnrticlcs, and in "his PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL offering to the afflicted all that was valuable, while the othej parts were eliminated by Its careful preparation. As soon as this was accomplished the remedy was again endorsed by tho faculty, and the cures were such as to con vert Its enemies and firmly establish it as ono of the greatest blessings to suffering humanity. Its success was immediate and wide-spread, and its manufacture became of great importance and a source of wealth to its reviver. A ng life was spent for the welfare of mankind by.Dr. Wlehart in perfecting his discovery and promulgating its usefulness, and ut his decease (which took place but. recently) the method of preparation an the extension of its usefulness devolved upon his sous. 1 It cures colds and coughs with marvellous celerity, and ia the only preparation which an proaches to a specific. It does not cover and patch np, but eradicates disease by removing the causo, and for obstinate, long-continued catarrhs, and consequently of the Incipient stages of consumption, Is the only certain remedy In the pharmacopoiia. It would bu a waste of the reader s time to enumerate cases, for the remedy is so well known, iu virtues have been so thoroughly tested, that euloiry is superfluous and reference not requisite. Not only as an in ternal remedy Is it valuable, but ezkmally It heals sores and irritations, and as a pleasant fKmigator in the sick room stands aWe all others. " CALL AT DR. WISHART'S GREAT FAMILY MEDICINE STORE, No. 232 North SECOND PHILADELPHIA, Street, And examine his file of certificates of cures and receive tho names and residences of hundreds and thousands of persons cured by his justly re nowned remedies, who were once hopelessly given up to die.
