Editorial OpInUae ef tho 1imIIiiT Jn Upon Carroii t Tplca-!mplled Ktiwt Dai tr the Bla Telocrapb THE BARRICADES. Pram the Jf. F. Tribune. raria has again, after nineteen years panse, ruabed to the barricade. Upon.the arrest of M. Rochefort, a multitude of his friends raised the cry of revolt on a signal from M. Quatave Flourens, who declared that immrreo tion had began. Forthwith, Tans with its old fnrr began to tear np its streets and turn oyer its ouinibuees, and to make at least everal quarters of the city a soene of war. Belleville and La Villette, and the neighbor hood of the Montmartre, were chosen for its demonstration. Upon this part of the city the lavish genius of Baron Haussmann for pending the money of Frenchmen in order to make it a greater architectural possibility to shoot them down, has not been folly exer cised. The world is not surprised to hear that the Parisians hare attempted insurrection, nor will it be astonished to hear that the attempt baa been suppressed. The one hundred thou sand soldiers whom Napoleon knows how to turn in upon Paris at a moment's notioe ought to be competent to make him master of the situation. Curiously, their number is just the same as that wherewith a usurper one bloody December overthrew the liberties of Franoe. It is the fatal number of the coup d'etat. Looking back upon the day when fraud reared its throne upon massacre, no man oan predict that Napoleon will be more meroiful now than then, if only bis bayonets are firm and bis well-traiaed uoldiers are provoked. It is impossible to forget at this time that Napoleon perpetrated one of the oruelest, most sweeping slaughters of a teople and its liberties on record. He did it, t is true, in the name of the people, as Dan ton, Robespierre, and other less sagacious atudents of Frenoh nature had done before him. All that we need remember just now is that he did a dishonest act in a murderous spirit. It was not his fate to be upright, to love life more than its sacrifioe, and his country more than himself, but to serve the baser part of the country whieh he debased. Like all men of exceeding ambition, his sel fish genius helped to create the necessity whion he made his exouse for perjury and Slaughter. How much he has expiated the erime of December by holding France, with the permission of Providence, under his able Sway, it is for Frenchmen to judge. There will be a variety of contemptuous comments on the latest phase of opposition to Bonapartism; yet we imagine that Roche fort and his partisans have advanced a step in the respect of those who are disposed to esteem a thousand tarn culottes with arms in their hands more than a lonely man eating firison fare or the bread of exile. The Mame ukes of the French press, and the flunkeys of the English and American press, had a chance to show their instincts when a citizen, of Paris was murdered by a prince for chal lenging a Bonaparte. Now Paris in despera tion challenges another Bonaparte. Will he, too, murder his fellow-citizens if they exoite him? and then, what will the flunkeys say ? This latest demonstration id likely enough to he quieted till the next day of crisis, till Ihn next dav of weakening and disintegration. For the present it will serve to bring back to the mind of i ranee a bloodier event than this oan possibly be the terrible deed of De cember, 1851. tin that occasion one regiment alone slew 2400 men, and the fatal one hun dred thousand committed, according to the historian of the period, nine different species of slaughters, including that of the massaore of non-combatants in cold blood. The Empire .cannot now surpass its masterpiece. A people who have had Robespierre and Marat, and Danton and Mirabeau, could hardly expect to get along without Louis Napoleon and M. Rochefort; but let ns above aU remember the Frenoh people. Barricades mean now as ever that life in Franoe is cheap, more or leas, and that government is dear. PROTECTION DOOMED. .From the N. F. World. We copy the following statement from the Tribune: "The free-traders made an earnest demonstration In the House yesterday under the lead or Mr. Mar ahall (Dem.), of Illinois. They were squarely met by a motion or Mr. Reiser, of this State, to lay on the table, and beaten by 89 to 77, and, on reconsi deration, by 91 to 80. They had nearly or quite every Democratic vote. Including these of Messrs. Jlaldeman. Getz, Reading, Stiles, Van Auken, and Woodward, of Pennsylvania (Randall absent or dodging). Mr. Barnum, of Connecticut (Dera.), was likewise silent. We believe no Republican from any Xaatern State voted against protection." The Tribune seems to exult in the fact that no member of its party from any Eastern State voted against protection. Its exulta tion is as foolish as it will certainly be short- Jived. .Even with the advantage oi an un broken front by the Eastern Republicans, the protectionists had a majority of only 11 in a total vote of 171. Assuming this 'to be the present relative strength of the protectionists and free-traders in the House of Representatives, it is easy to see that protection is on its last legs, and will fall prostrate immediately alter the next census, which is to be taken this year, "Within the last ten years the population of the East has remained comparatively station. ary, while the West has been advancing at a prodigious rate of growth. In the new ap portionment of Representatives founded on the census about to be taken, the Eastern fttates will lose, and the Western States make larae cams. As soon as the West is repre Routed in Congress in proportion to its popu lation. the era of high tariffs will end. The protectionists have even now a majority of only eleven, and the new apportionment will at once change it into a majority at least thrioe as creat on the other side. Nor will the gain to the free-trade side come wholly from the West. The relative strength of the South in Congress will be onnuiiiMTAhlv increased bv the new apportion' ment. and the South retains its old hostility to protective tariffs. In oonsequenoe of the abolition of slavery, the South will be entitled to representatives for the whole of its negro population, instead of three-fifths of it whioh was the rule previous to emancipation. It was not till after tho Southern Senators and Representatives withdrew from Congress, in tno winter before the war, that the protec tionist were able to pass the Morrill tariff, With the South again represented, and both the West and the South laroelv strencthened. protection will be repudiated by majorities which will nfake the editor of the Tribune stare and eanp. The preponderating publio sentiment of both the creat agricultural sections tha WahI and the South is decisively in favor of free trade. If protection were the true polioy, it would be lor the advantage or the Went to have the Erie andWelland Canal, filled ur. tho creat railroad lines whioh connect it with tha Atlantic coast destroyed, and intercourse with the outer world obstructed by elevating and extending the Allegheny range of mountains tuitil they formed a complete barrier to inter- -. ... , a effectually do the work of a protective tariff, I by giving the manufacturers of the West a monopoly of the home market. But the West has always aoted, and will always continue to act, on the idea that free and cheap inter oourse with the outside world is the main ele ment of its prosperity. Their aeotion Has been developed in proportion as means of intercourse have been multiplied. lhey have always felt that the greatest of their wants is easy access to distant markets; and it is all the same to them whether intercourse is obstructed by physical barriers or dv pro tective tariffs, the operation or bota Doing PrTheechiefk?ndnstry of the South admits of no protection. There is no part of the world which can compete with it in the production of cotton. The South prodnoos this great staple in such abundance that it supplies tne consumption of a great part of the world. This bounty of nature, this unrivalled advan tage df soil and climate, wouia do oi compa ratively little value without free aooess to other markets than our own. When you talk to the Southern people about the necessity of protecting home industry, they will deride you. Don vuoy noun m wvu u uwu England, will industry be employed and pro- tected by compelling mo amp so ouiuo unu& in ballast, instead of earning treigbta on a return cargo of manufactured goods ? Will the shippers of the cotton be proteotod or benefited by paying fifty per cent, duties on the return cargo, and losing that proportion of the fruits oi their industry r xuegoous which they import in exchange for their cotton are as much a produot of home in dustry as are the same kind of goods mann- . a e W . . A j JS factured in this country, 11 Beven.y nauua emnloved on a cotton plantation can bring into a New York warehouse as much cutlery as a hundred hands employed in making cut lery in the United States, there is no sense or tustice in taxing the plantation labor for the enefit of the factory labor. They are equally home labor, and the country is most benefited by that which yields the largest returns in consumable articles. At any rate, a policy will never find acceptance in the South which prevents Southern industry from re ceiving the full price of its produots. And with the South and the West combined in a solid free trade phalanx, the days of protection are numbered. Its total overthrow will speedily follow the reapportionment under the census of this year. KICEETTY LEGISLATURES IN THE SOUTH. From the If. T. Herald. The reconstructed Legislatures in the South are not a source of pride to the Republican party. Ben Butler himself could not look upon them and say truly, in his benevolent way, "Bless ye, my children." Greeley no doubt execrates and curses them in his heart f hearts, while Sumner alone, whoBe heart delights in war and strife, may be able to look on with inward satisfaction. The Louisiana Legislature is engaged, it would seem, in a general game of grab. The Gov ernor, from his own statement, seems to be the only honest publio official in the State, and he is so nnexceptionally honest that he refused one hundred thousand dollars in bribes merely for signing bills. The dusky mem bers, besides, have licensed all sorts of Sun day games, of which Southern darkies are so fond, until it is reported that the prin cipal streets of New Orleans are lumi nous with signs of "Faro, Keno, etc, Played Here. In the Florida Legisla ture the little game of impeachment has been played again, the Governor being the party on trial. Ha was acquitted, but he telegraphed immediately to his representative in Congress to say that all the Federal radical office-holders worked solidly against him. The Alabama Legislature, with a heavy carpet-bag majority, baa been quarrelling with the liov ernor over the proper mode of spelling; the North Carolina Legislature and her Governor and Auditor, between them, have placed the credit of the State in danger; Mississippi threatens to put the Senatorial radicals in a dilemma by sending a colored member to the United States Senate; the Arkansas Legisla ture and Governor Clayton had to carry on a guerilla warfare for months before they could secure their positions, and Georgia well, when we speak of Georgia even Philosopher Greeley s capacity for swearing fails to do justice to the subject. 'Ibis is a very poor showing for lour years of reconstruction. The system pursued by the radicals aimed especially at bringing the States back so thoroughly Republican that they would never give ns any more Demo cratic trouble. But even this has not suc ceeded. The States are only Republican for the moment. The present Legislatures are onough to blot out all the Republicanism in the bouth, and the radical leaders in Con gress seem to know it, for they have tried to patch Virginia together so as to be sure of her, and are still trying to patch Mississippi in the same way. In fact, the whole recon struction system has resulted in a thing of shreds and patches that the radicals cannot trust. They fear that Reed, of Florida, is a broken Reod; that the radicalism of Smith, of Alabama, is mythical; that Holden, of North Carolina, does not feel much beholden to the party; that Bullock, of Georgia, is likely to gore his own friends, and that War mouth, of Louisiana, like Dawes, is talking too much out of school. RELATION OF TARIFFS, IMPORTS, AND CURRENCY. from th JT. T. Tribune. Senator Fenton, in his speech on the Cur rency bill, delivered on the 2"th of January, places great strew upon the remarkable con currence ox tne quantity or foreign imports, and the amount of the currency in circulation, as tney are Bnown in our financial ana com mercial history, furnishing statistics in proof of the close connection in the two most nota ble periods of expansion immediately preced ing the revulsions of 1837 and 1857. In his tabular statement he embraoes both circulation and deposits, and his imports also embraoe specie. Even with thia complication his figures sustain his general averment that there Is a close relation between our imports ana tne volume oi our circulation, wnen no such causes as the necessities of the Treasury in war and the recent vast exportation of publio securities disturb the affinity between them. , The relation of concurrence has hold won derfully in our experience from the close of our last war with Great Britain to the begin ning of the Rebellion; but the Senator, we think, is somewhat in error in holding that the expansion of the currency is the cause of, or precedes, excessive importations; and espe cially in error in saying that "the bearings of the tariff do not touch this point." We pro pose to show, on the contrary, that, from the year 1828 down to 1800, through the periods of two protective and two free-trade tariffs, in regular alternation, flint, that the rates of customs duties rule the volume of the foreign imports; second, that the volume or value of the imports rules the amount of the currency and all its consequences; and thirdly, that course, trach obstruction and isolation wouia I t i ) t 1 - l i tablixh the precedence of the foreign imports in the concatenation of oansos and effeots throughout all the gTeat changes in our economic affairs. In the treatment of the question, we shall exclude the specie aocount from the imports, and the bank deposits from the currency. The inclusion of the specie imports through a period that overlaps the disoovery of pre cious metals in California, and the treatment of deposits as currency, complicate the ques tion unnecessarily, though it happens that doing so does not materially vary the results. First, of the relation between the value of the foreign imports and the amount of cur rency in circulation, under our two highest and two lowest tanns prior to lMiO (the amounts in millions and tenths of millions of dollars).

Averages are always inaoourate, more es pecially in matters subject to great fluctua tions. Sometimes, where errors of brevity' and clearness of statement can be afforded, as in the present esse, they may be adopted, though they have the vice of leveling fluctua tions, which are the strongest features of the matter in hand. Lot us look at shorter periods in whioh the contrasts of the systems of duties and the concurrence of the effects are still bolder, and so much the more just as they are nearer in cause and enect: In the years 18110, '31, '32, the foreign im ports retained for consumption aggregated $207,700,000; the note circulation stood at $61,000,000; the total duties upon the im ports averaged 32 per cent. In the years 183.5, '36, '37, the aggregate imports for con sumption rose to $314,100,000; the circula tion, at the highest, $149,000,000; and the total duties were 22 per cent. Here we have the imports increased 50 per cent., the duties reduced CO per cent., and the average circu lation nearly doubled. Then came the revul sion of 1837 of imperishable memory. Again the aggregate imports for consump tion in the years 1831-5-C, were $312,000,000, the circulation $90,000,000, and the average duties 2!'2 per cent.; but nine years later, under the tariff of 1840, the imports rose in the aggregate of the years 1855-6-7 to $860, 800,000; the circulation .to an average of $l'J!t, 000,000, and the duties on the duty. paying goods were down to 234 per cent. Whereupon followed the revulsion of 1857. Here again, after a lapse of nine years, three times longer than the interval of the former periods contrasted, for which allowance should be made for the greater growth of wealth and population, we have an increase of the imports of 175 per cent, and a corre sponding increase of the circulation of 121 per cent., with average duties 25 per cent, lower. Here again the ineradicable vice of general averages appears. The duties upon woollens, cottons, hempen goods, iron, and manufac tures of iron, in 1844, 15, '0, were 384 per cent., and in 1855, '6, '7, only 272 per cent. a reduction in the protective duties on goods which covers almost the entire system of American protection of 41 per cent., instead of the 25 per cent, of the general average upon all imports; none of whioh are important to our industry except those charged at the highest rates. ' The California gold, the Crimean war, and our freedom from extraordinary expenditure, lengthened the run of the tariff of 1846; else we should have had its catastrophe earlier, and the proportion between the circulation and the imports still nearer. The critioal years of our financial history best show the connection between excessive imports, ex panded currency, low tariffs, and the result- 1 i i 1. 4 1. 1 OIP o,rd78 induration and seventy, snow equally well the dependence of all our errand explosions upon the foreign trade as their real primary and efficient cause, and the low tariffs ruling at the times being the predisposing causes of all the mischief. As a starting point a standard it is to be noted that in the two years 1831 and 1832, under the high tariff of 1828, tha imports amounted to $158,000,000, and the circulation stood at $ 01,000,000. Now, in these two years, the sales of the publio lands and the receipts from them averaged $2,900,080 per annum, and $2,000,000 were the average for the seven preceding years, varying but a trifle in any year from 1824 to 1830. In 1833 the Comprorniae act was passed. It began by its first reduction of customs rates in 1834, and displayed its full foroe in 1835 and 183C. In these two vears the imports rose first to $122,000,000 in 1835, and then to $158,900, 000 in 183G an increase of 77 par cent, in three years, which was followed by a reduc tion of 40 per cent, in the next two years. In those two years, the sales of the publio lands went up, in 1835, to $14,700,000, and in 1830 to $24,800,000; the circulation more than doubled, and the publio land sales in creased to thirteenfold above all precedent. and fell immediately thereafter to their old average, until 1855 brought them np again to $11,500,00, in preparation for the revulsion of 1857. It must not be forgotten, that, so soon as the protective tariff of 1842 came into operation, beside the reduction to the old standard in these sales, the imports also fell back to $100,000,X)00 from $159,000,000 in 183C, and the circulation to $82,000,000 from $149,000,000, in 1837. Here is a relation, striking, positive, pal pable, and so interlinked with tho imports and the circulation, that an explanation of either must embrace them all. Do not these inseparable facts explain themselves f And what other solution than this can be offered ? Inadequate protection induced exoess in im portations; these demanded, nnder our busi ness syBtem, first, large advances from the banks to meet the customs duties and pay ments abroad by the importers; for the bal ance of trade would be against ns in propor tion to the excess of imports. Next, tho wholesale dealers must have credits in keep ing with the increase of their purchases; then the jobbers of the lesser cities; and, lastly, the retailers all over the country tho oredit system ruling from three months to a year among dealers, and running, in tho main, longer with tho consumers; pay-day falling earlier with every grade of merchants, and requiring greater punctuality than oould be commanded from the last - purchaser. Every one knows that merchants, upon dis- certain ouier nnanoiu jmeuoinoc. oieariy e. counted and accommodation paper, are the favored customers of the banks, for the rea son that the penalty of suspension and bank ruptcy greatly corroborates their oredit with money institutions. Banks do not lend on real estate securities. Speculative prioes do not begin there; and the moment that the tide of import sets in at low prices, the credit of manufacturers is shaken Agricultural lands and produots do not rue till money is cheapened by its abundance. Bank credits must lead in the tine of domestic property and products; and what leads the bank oredits if it be not the demand made by the dealers in foreign commodities when they take pos session of the home markots ? These credits, aa we have said, are multiplied at every stage of the subsequent sales of the imports; and this doubling, trebling, and quadrupling of credits upon the principal stook accounts fully for that expansion of tha circulation whose connection is invariable, both in rise and fall, aa we have seen. But if any doubt remiins about tha primal agency, it is all removed by the working of our publio land sales in the times when they were sold for money by the Government. What but an influx of foreign fabrics could drive capital and labor from the Eastern to the Western States and Territories in sudden and enormous overflow ? Low tariff duties, a flood of goods from abroad, and a rush from the manufacturing States to the prairies, work their effects upon the treasury; first producing a gorge of the national fund, then national bankruptcy straightway. This in the chain of sequences; and thus tha first link is found in the failure of our tariffs to preserve the labor of the nation from invasion. Senator Fenton may be, or he may not be, right about "the relation of the volume and value of the cur rency," but he is not right in tracing the im ports to the currency of the country. There are enough of other agencies at work, and they are abundantly sufficient to explain the excess of imports from which we are now suffering in every department of domestio in dustry, and in none so much as in the farm ing interest, which, curiously enough, is at once calling for an expansion of bank money and a reduction of the tariff rates. One word more upon our present enormous imports from Europe. In the last three and a half years we have taken about a thousand millions' worth, and they have taken our bonds to the like amount at a nominal value for the price of the goods. Those bonds they have at rates ranging from say 70 to 94 cents on the dollar; at tho highest about even with the British consols, and the general rate of three per oent. funds in those parts of Europe which supply the great bulk of onr imports. In current productive value our six per cents are worth about one hundred and eighty for the hundred. Need we look any further for the cause of the great influx of goods which are charged with duties that do not in faot approach fifty per cent, in effective averages? Tho stupid general average which puts the rate above 49 per cent, under the present tariff, when stripped of the enormous rates upon tea, coffee, tobacco, and sugar, whioh Europe does not produce, would show that our manufactures in general are not covered by quite 40 per cent. But our bonds are now paying to the foreign holder the normal European interest upon one hundred and eighty dollars for every hundred that they cost him. He can afford to send his goods hereunder an impost charge of less than forty upon the hundred. It is not what we are paying for these goods, measured by our currency or our gold standard, but what the foreign produoer is receiving by his standard of money value, that his Bales are governed by; and the condi tion of onr home currency gives no help in solving the commercial question. Reduce our purchases abroad to harmony with our home industry, and if experience may be re lied upon, the regulation of the volume of our paper money will follow. Without this, either bank notes, bank credits, or some other form of currency will keep the virtual circulation up to the demand. Legislation must deal with causes, and take care not to mistake effects for them. WINE8 AND LIQUORS. HER MAJESTY CHAMPAGNE.
