He says that under the existing financial
condition of the country, the old time
issues between -the "‘ advocates of free trade
and protection have ceased to be of any real'
importance, as revenue must ,be derived'
from that source. The question of protec
tion, as it is interpreted in Europe and'
America; is thoierighly discussed'and he ar-'
rives at the conclusion that the ' foreign
method is to remove -burdens, cheapen cost
and reduce prices, while ours is to levy a tax,
thereby increasing:cost and, reducing con
sumption. A tariff is a tax, and to demon
strate it a carefully'preparedtable of statis
tics is presented, showing that from tea, cof
fee; sugar and pepper, ,the average receipts
from duty per annum' re received sufficient
to pay in gold the interest on 4140,000,000,
.
and involving a tax of four ' cents
per week on each consumer. The tariff
is a Much preferable system of .taxation to
that of internal revenue. The Commission
er holds that a consideration of the whole
subject will show that no material reduc
tion of importations can - be efiected through
any practical increase of the existing tariff.
alere is a curtain point to be reached in im
posing deities on imported articles which; t o

country can evasion of the excise or cuff

the law- maker and sustainer.- . • •
The tariff, as a measure for 'raising reve
nue, and as a protection to home indus
tries, is contrasted. . ; Essential differences-of
opinion arise on. the subject only when con
sidered as a measure of protection, in which
he asserts it preaents itself as a question of
profit and loss, burden and advantage, the
burden being the ,tax i and enhanced prices

With these feeli ngs and convictions he
would _ therefore prove untrue to his trust,
he not here enter his most earnest pro
test against any farther general increase of
the tariff, but would, on the cOntrary,
recommend—
First. An enlargement of the free list; ,
Second. A reduction of some rates ' of duty,
and, as an exception. an increase of a few

revenue.
Third. A reduction of some rates; f / duty
with a view to an absolute abatement, on the
simple' ground that the redaction of a duty
the'is reduction of a tax, and that the most
efficient method of protecting home indus

I NEW YORK, January 5, 1869.
The Underground Railroad Company, in
cerporated by the last Legislattire, have
returned their charter and given up the job
for the present: The conditions contained In
the act IT': • incorporation were so stringe nt
, .
that men of capital did not dare to invest
in the enterprise, although the engineering
difilcnities are found to be much less than
would generally be supposed. The' Com

pony will ask an amendment of the act and
an extension of time for commencing ope
rations. .
p. Stated that the lobbyists at Pirash
ington - have recently inaugurated a acheme
which promises to pay them well, and' for
their services have already realized a very
respectable sum.— The English adVocates
of the Canadian reciprocity treaty 'Are
anxious to have the old policy revived, and
are paying handsomely to those who aid
-the scheme, having advanced to the lobby
ring the sum of fifteen thousand dollars in
gold, and are ready with another 'natal-

Congress.
The Herald understands that several libel
cults have been brought , against Bohemians
who have recently been busily engaged in
this city in calumniating the characterof
several of our, grocers and dealers, and that
Hon. Reuben E. Fenton, late Governor of
'this State, would bring suit against Thin
low Weed for the publieation in his paper
in this city of a most atrocious libel.
In discussing the question of natnraliza
tion frauds, the Herald 'recommends the
passage by' Congress of a law by which
foreigners - who desire to become citizens of
this country can do so at once on the sim
ple condition of-residence.
Mayor Hall of this city yesterday issued
his first general order, which. was to the
effect that hereafter the prefix of Honorable
was not to be used in connection with his
name or office.: Communications are not to
be addressed to His Honor, but simply to
the Mayor. ,
