Mr. Morrison's DIN.
The one thing clear about Mr. Merrl
Ben's tariff bill la that it Is net framed
as a tariff for "revenue only" and that It
inM net chanjre the protective policy
ifhlch rules our present tariff and these
which have preceded It. IU general
feature la a lowering of the tariff twenty
per cent, accompanied with some nddl nddl
tlens te the free list. It is clear that n
horizontal lowering of all the duties
does net change the policy which gov
erned the Imposition of thoae duties ;
Red it Is also clear that an addition te
the free trnde list is net a step towards a
tariff "for rovenue only," for thnt would
require the Imposition of seme duty en
all lmperU.il articles. Te make a tarlfT
for rovenue only, it would be necessary
te put a rate of duty en each article im
ported such as draws from It the largest
revenue. When certain things are per.
mltted te enter free it Is dene in ebedl
ence te a belief that the prosperity of
the country requires such free imperta
tien, and that this Is mere Important
te It than the revenue te be ebtalued
from the articles; Just as duties are
levied te restrict the Importation of
ether articles, under the conviction that
uch restriction is of mero benefit te the
country than the revenue which would
come from a lower rate of duty that
would cause a greater Importation of
them.
Clearly Mr. Morrison's tariff is a pre.
tectlvoene, and the test of it must be
made upon the question as te whether
the degree of protection It affords Is a
Just one te the people and the particular
Interests concerned. This will appear
as its previsions are mere fully under
steed. "We have no doubt that a great
many of the duties can be lowered
twenty per cent, without injury te any
interest of great importance and that
therefore they are wisely reduced. Froba-
bly the Iren Industry, In which our state
is se much concerned, can endure a
twenty per cent, reduction en foreign
iron manufactures. With the present
low prices of manufactured iron here,
the proposed reduction would be gener
ally suftlclent te prevent the competition
of foreign irons, though there may be
some Iren products that may be
injuriously affected. The pre
pesed free importation of iron ero
will help some iron industries,
ouch as that of Bessemer steel, which
requires the high grades of ere that can
alone pay the cost of carriage; from for.
elgn countries. These who use the
cheaper ero will hardly feel It. The
Bethlehem and Pennsylvania steel com
panies, which have purchased an iron
estate in Cuba, and are preparing te im.
pert the iron, will be very gludtegetlt
in duty free. It is very pure ere, yielding
sixty-five per cent, metallic Iren, and
worth at the estimate of ten cents a
unit, six and a half dollars a ten. The
cost of importing it is put at present at
about four dollars a ten, Including the
duty, seventy.flve cents a ten. Its
importation would be largely profitable
new, and with the duty removed will be
mero se. The policy which permits ores
msd In mmufacture te be ininerted with
out duty Is probably a correct one, as It I
is a benefit te tne manufacturer, and me
owners of ere mines at home ought te
have sufficient protection In their prox
imity te their market ; and if thelr ores
are tee peer in quality te be prod tably
taken out with this advantage in their
favor, they had better be left in the earth
until the time comes when they will be
worth mining. This argument can
hardly be successfully met. The class
of labor employed in digging iron ere is
net generally skilled labor, ami the com
men labor engaged in it can find ether
work te de. Free ero Is consistent with
the idea of a pretective tariff, though as,
we have Bald, it is net in harmony with
the theory of a tariff for revenue.
Mr. Morrison's bill will, of course, get
very rough bundling in the course of its
discussion, and its merit and demerit will
be made conspicuous. Upen which side
the balance will be struck it is tee early
te decide. It may be that it will appear
that it would have been hotter te at
tempt a tariff change as te a few articles
rather than a comparatively horizontal
reduction nil through the lis'. It is a
difficult question te treat and oplnleus
will net harmonize as te Us true solution.

Ouit Senater Mitchell appears In an
interview. He does netjsuy a great deal,
however. He declares himself as a Re
publican without atllllatlen with Mr.
Quay and with a half-way tendency te
wards Senater Cameren, whom he thinks
has been nbuscd. benater Mitchell
complains thut he cannot get theefikes
filled according te his recommendations ;
ami is fervently of the opinion that the
Democracy nre net geed. He does net
knew who is going te be president ; and
knows nothing else much better.

O.v our fourth page te day will be seen

Thore Is but llttle te say about our Irieal
uiatket. Owing te unfavorable weather,
less thin oue-hiilf the orep has bren
stripped, and comparatively little, of that
whtnli has been piupnred for market, has
found piiicbaiers, A few local buyers
are bobbing nreund and picking up de
slrable lets, but they u-te, every precaution
te keep their pm chases secret and te
' bear" prices and depredate the quality
of the crop. Tulsl "business" of oeurso,
and Is te In expected ; but it Is neverthe
less nu unpleasant fact that the heavy
buyers of ether yeata from New Yerk,
Philadelphia, llalllinnre aud the Pacific
coast are uet herc, nud they don't appear
te no tn a lmrry about coining. Some of
the cau'cs which have operated against
the sale el the crop of 'S3 have from time
te time been set forth In these columns
tbe Sumatrau competition, the uncertainty
of the tax te be put upon the Imported
article, the low grade of our own crop,
the (lanuge from tip mould, and a very
genet al opinion among buyers that our seed
leaf is tunning down in quality and must
be hupplauted by Havana seed, These nre
the principal reasons assigned for the slew
demand for our crop. Hut ou the ether
hand tt is very well known that desirable
elgar leaf Is becoming scarce, that the
New Yerk market will seen bi exhausted,
aud that manufacturers will be compelled
te buy somewhere, nud that they can
uuwhere else get as geed leaf ns they can
u Pennsylvania, and nowhere olse iu
Pennsylvania in geed as they can get in
fjiueaster. This fact is demonstrated by
every week's report of the New Yerk
market ; net only nie the sales of I'ennsyl
vanla tobacco larger thau these of any
ether native growth, but the prices paid
for it are higher. Se then, altogether tbe
bujersef 'S3 are slew in coming te time,
they will no doubt come, aud that before
long. Let the farmers pesscsM their souls
iu peace, and carefully prepare their crops
ler the inspection el buyers.
We have but few Riles of '83 leaf te re
port this week : C. E. Steney, of II irt, has
sold about U00 pounds of Havana seed te

prise Is rapidly making itself feltas
generations meve along. Once It was
customary te speak slightingly of every
business project of any magnitude

Hue, bnt since the remarkable showing
at the Atlanta and Louisville exposi
tions, Northern journals nre piping te a
different tune. Birmingham, Ala.,
within a few years has becotne u great
iron centre, with a population of 15,000.
And new Northern capitalists nre es.
tabllshlng cotton factories lu the Seuth
wherever an opportunity is afforded
them. The citizens of Itoaneke, Va.,
are raising $100,000 te supplement $200,-
oeo that Philadelphia capitalists are pre
vldlngfernn Immense cotton mill te be
located in that city, which has grown
rapidly In recent years. The citizens of Sa
vannah have agreed te raise the requisite
cash for a city hospital, if the city will
guarantee te properly maintain it. All
these nre merely surface evidences et the
deslre en the part et the Seuth te can can
clllate tbe menled men of the North te
the extent of sending their capital
among them. It is a wIbe move en
the part of this long suffering section of

of brotherhood that' was broken In the
dark days of the civil war Is te be
mended by the cIoee business ulllance

There is much anxiety In Clnelnnntl I
concerning the condition of tne unie
river. Tbe romerabranoo of the fioed of
last February, with all Its terrors, tends
te make tUu poepio mero opprenensive
when, a heavy ram occurs with a full
river.aud that i the preseut condition. The
Ohie river is full from Pittsburg te Caire,
aud is risiug from Cincinnati downward
aud falling slowly abeve Cincinnati, al
though It is rising nt headwater?. With
the earth saturated nud the ice and su.w
nut all geno from the mountains, this rain
cannot lad fail te can se auother rise
At Ciueuuatl the liver stoe I at foriy feriy foriy
ulne feet cloven Inches until neon, then
fell au inch, and then bean te rise. IU
tween tluce o'clock aud nine o'clock
Monday night, it rose nine Inches.
A heavy rain fell nearly all the
afternoon, growing hoavier at night.
Already all the cellars along the rivers
nre Heeded and seme manufacturing es
tabllatiments have been compelled te sus
pond operations. A breik ene hundred
feet in length, eauscd by the pressure
of the back water against the embank
ment of the street, has eccurred iu
MoLean avonue. This Is the same plaeu
where a break hippeucd last year,
engulfing a number of persons nud injur
ing the railroad depot. Ne lives were lest
this time, nor was any property daraaguil,
and the break caused only slight Incouve
uience te the Southern railroad.
Reports reeslved show that raiu is be
ginning lu the west and moving eastward.
The indications point te a heavy raiu all
night nil along tbe river I rem here te
Pittsburg, aud unless this is followed by
cold weather there will inevitably be a
Heed of dangerous proportions.
An I c Uers feared uu tliu tiuxi'ietninin.
There arc strong indications of a thaw
and break up uu the Susquehanna at
Williamsport. It began raining early ou
Monday ovenlng aud at 10 o'clock the
clouds were loweriug and threatening.
The I je has uet yet been broken up ou the
river, a!th mgh the water has riseu four or
five feet within the past two da) s. The
great nine mile gorge abeve Leck Haven,
