The Albany Argu$ publlalien nn elnbo elnbe elnbo
rale letter from Abram S. Hewltt, tie
tailing hla views upon the question of
the tntlff and the present need of legis
lation affecting it. . Mr. Hewitt's views
are theso which he has been well known
te entertain, ml they correspond very
well with the general sentiment en the
subject In the Democratic party, for
which, as well as for himself, Mr.
Hewltt undertakes te speak. Ills
views are particularly notable because
he Is an Iren manufacturer ; and it is
net often that we find iron mauufactur
era recommending a low tariff en iron.
They are universally for themselves ;
and nearly us universally they consider
that the (arlff en iron cannot get tee
high for their own Interest. This fact
forces the conclusion that manufactur
ers are net very enlightened men , they
knew a great deal about manufactures,
but very little about the conditions
needed te tnake their business prosper
ous. The effect of a high tariff Is te un
duly stimulate business ; when :i large
demand for goods arlse3, prices rise ,
and if the demand grows sufficiently,
prices advance till the foreign goods are
let in ever the high tariff. Heme pre
ductien is overtaxed, but the
great profits stimulate capital te
enter In te supply the demand.
It does se, with the result of sending
prlcessurglng downward because of over
production. We lately had a striking
illustration of this in the Bessemer steel
industry. Twoerthreo years age mils
were worth seventy dollars a ten, and
home production was unequal te the de
mand. Fabulous profits were made, and
all the steel mills enlarged their capacity.
New rail are worth les3 than thirty Qve
dollars a ten and the mills are stepping.
Mr. Hewitt stated the Democratic
position te be that no greater degree of
protection should be given home manu
factures than what may be jnst
sufficient te protect them in times of
business depression. He thinks that an
Impost equal te the difference between
the home and foreign wages of labor
would be a proper rate of duty. lie argues
that when business is geed the mauufac
turer uetds no protection, and that the
duty should be left low te moderate his
profits, se far as a free competition with
the world mil deit , but when demand
slackens se that business becomes un
profitable, then the protective duty
should 6erve te keep out foreign manu
facturers and leave prices te be regulated
by home competition. Tins is a sensible
policy, nud will work well for manufactu
rerand workman. Raw materials of man
ufacture should be imported free. That
is a clear command required by the in
terest of the work man us well as of the
manufacturer and of the people. The
cheaper the raw material the cheaper
the product, the greater its market and
the belt ei the late of wages that can
be afforded.
Mr. Hewitt states the Democratic
theory te be that protection is uncon
stitutional unless it is made incidental
te tin collection of revenue: but he ad
mits that this is net a practical question,
inasmuch in we have had protection
almost sii'ce the government's begin
ing, and It is " se intended in judicial
construction us te m.ike it idle new te
ralse the constitutional question." We
de net understand that the Democratic
party has taken the position that pretec
tlen is unconstitutional, nor de we think
that it would be easy te maintain, while
declaring its constitutionality when
uinde incidental te revenue, with which
it has no atllnity whatever ; hut as the
question Is no longer a practical one, its
consideration is net profitable.
Mr. Hewitt thinks that the true ikjI
icy, if the country had net heretofore
embraced the protective policy, would
be free trade, fn this conception we can
hardly concur. It seems te us that the
ceuntrj medel protection te enable it
te develop its nunc ral and ether natural
reseuicts and te cultivate the manufac
tories which tend te make it Independ
ent of the world. This geed the piotee pietee
tlvu policy lias dene fei us ; but our
manufactories, placed firmly en their feet,
can new stand with comparatively little
support from the tariff.
Tlie .siuiduy .Newspaper.
The action et a small majority of the
Methodist ministerial association of
Philadelphia, iu pronouncing Judgment
against the dai y newspapers which
print Sunday editions is net important
in itself, for a variety of reasons, chief
among them being the small number in
attendance at the meeting and the
weight of the protesting minority, who,
tlieiiRh less in number, are quite as lor ler
cible as these who voted for the " io ie io
pert," of which' -rather Tem" Fcrnley
Is the author.
The discussion ever the question,
however, was signiilcaiit as illustrating
the embarrassments which surround the
most pleiu men iu dealing with consider
ations relating te a strict observance of
the Sabbath in accordance with the laws
of C5ed ami of human society. It was,
for example, no argument in this minis
terial association against the Sunday
editions et the newpapets that they
involved an interruption of the ordained
Sabbath real from labor ; for the ready
offset te tills was the fact that the me
chanicaland editorial workeu these edi
tions Is mostly done en Saturday,
whereas it h the Monday newspapers
that really involve actual labor of this
kind en tlw Lord's day and none of the
geed Methodist brethren evlnced any
disunion te abate the Monday papers
nor dispense with them for their own
reading ; indeed, the majority showed a
disposition te favor the journals which
crowd the most work in their publication
Inte the flr8tday of the week.
ItUtrue, as claimed, by tlie Metho
dist ministers, that seme of the Sunday
newspapers display u special taste for
" uusaasouable and sensational newa,"
but only In greater degree perhaps titan
thesarae Journals exhibit in their ordin
ary publications. On the ether hand,
many or thetn furnish a variety of most
excellent literary aud even religious
matter, and, in short, the merits and
faults of the dally newspapers are gener
ally only Intensified In the Sunday edi
tions. Theso that are bad en week days
are werse en Sunday, nud these that aie
ordinarily geed are generally better in
this 8eclal edition. It will be necessary
for the Methodist ministerial association
te discriminate between the geed and bad
newspapers, or between the departments
In them which contribute te legitimate
public Information and public morals
and theso which nre pernicious, rather
than between the Sunday and week da
editions.
One geed brother, se te speak, " gave
himself away" when he deplored the
fact that reading the newspapers kept
his people home from church, and when
lie frankly admitted that tlicre were
nine copies of these tapers taken by his
members te one of the regular church
publications. This state of things may
illustrate one thing as well as another.
It may argue superiority in the secular
newspaper te the pulpit and the doueui
(national organ ; certainly, tee, many of
the gospel agencies lack the attractive
ip-ss which must be given te them if they
would successfully withdraw attention
even during the church hour from the
better class of Sunday newspapers. A
single copy of some of these often has a
mere Instructive assortment of reli
gious news than the average mendicant
church piper, and they often preach ami
print better sermons than it is the let of
the faithtul church-goer te usually hear.
If It be true that Londen has no Sunday
newspapeis, as one of the Methodist dis
putants averted, it Is incumbent en him
te show that the averase Sunday ob
servance there is better than her , we
suspect that he thiuks net, as he stig
matised the Euglish metropolis as the
" flab Ien of modern times."
It will certainly net be denied that
the Minday newspapers of te-day, winch
are editions of the regular dailies, are u
vast improvement, in every view te be
regarded by a religious association, upon
the old seusittenal blackmailius and
obscene special Sunday publications
which they are superseding, and the
Methodist preachers should be mindful
of this fact.

It 13 significant that there has beeu
h ildiug in New Yerk city a conference of
college president, deliberating ever the
podium which medern lauguages should
bave in the curriculum and at the snue
tltnn considering hew college bperts ma)
be kept withiu the bounds of nuuly exer

this jelly geed cituen is posing as a phil

fltatcd.
Pell theso who understand the pateut
fact that the convocation of American bish
eps new in Heme is engaged exclusively in
the consideration of matters of church d
cipluic, the scusatieual dispatches te which
the public are regularly treated in reference
te this very innoeent convention in ike
highly amusiuz readiug. Again it is an an
ueuueed that an cllert is making te
introduce caueu law for the government
of the Cathohe clergy of the United States,
aud speculations of the most morbid kind
are indulged in as te the possible diplem
atle complications that may result fiem
