Oar Tariff Duties.

A recent article from the New York Bulletin, criticising the imposition of a tariff duty on tea and coffee, has called forth a letter from David A, Wells. Perhaps, of all our American statesman Mr. Wells has devoted the greatest attention to the subject of national revenues, and what ever he utters upon the question, is sure to be clear and interesting. In the present in3tance he so admirably shows up tho fallacy of the demagogical cry of "a free breakfast table" that we catiiiot refrain from reproducing his, letter entire. This subject of tariff duties, we may remark, has been pushed iuto the back ground by political questions, but it must, in the near ruture, become the paramount issue before the people. "The whole case," says Mr. Wells, "is, as it were, in a, nut-shell. We have got to raise a large annual revenue irom some source. How shall we do it?

Shall we impose the taxes on the instrumentalities of production—the raw materials of a long series of successive manufacturing processes— causing tbeui to form an element of cost at every stage, on which profit and interest are calculated and added, all greatly increasing the burden on the consumer, without any corresponding benefit to the National Treasury? or shall wo put on tho taxes in such a manner as to enhance to tho smallest possible extent the cost of domestic production, reduce to a minimum the cost of collection, and enable the American manufacturer to enter the foreign market subjected to no other or greater burdens than are sustained by his foreign competitor? "Or, to bring this question right down to a clear, practical issue: "Shall wo tax aniline dyes, which are not (directly) taxed in any other country, and so render it absolutely impossible for the American manufacturer of dyed fabrics to compete with foreigners, Who liavo the privilege of using aniline dyes which have not been subjected to the enormous tax ol 50 cents per pound, and "5 per cent, ad valorem? "Shall wo tax soda ash—the great agency or tool in the manufacture of soap aud glass and in the processes of dyeing and bleaching—the one chemical product which, according to Liebig, 'may be regarded as the foundation of all our modern improvements in the domestic arts.' so as to make it mere costly in the United States than in any other manufacturing country? ."Shall wo tax linseed oil, of which the country uses over twelve millions of gallons annually (mainly for painting,) at such a rate as to maKe each one ofThese gallons cost at wholesale (January 1875) 78 c.- nts, currency, in the United States, as compared with 48 cents, gold, in London, thus taxing the American consumers at the rate of nearly J3,000,000 per annum for the os tensible benefit of putting §20,0C0 into the Treasury (the revenue forl874,)and rendering it utterly impossible for tho nation to export oil cloths and paints as it formerly did? "Shall we tax steel at such a rate that the enhanced cost of American tools and machinery neutralizes in a great degree all the advantage that accrues for the superior American skill employed in devising, constructing and operating such machinery? "Shall we tax copper in such a way that great copper-smelting establishments at Point Shirley, Boston Harbor at Statan Island, New York, and in

Baltimore, stand idle and cannot be operated, while American copper sent across the Atlantic, and after paying freight is sold to foreign consumers from 3 to 4 cents a pound less than the price at which the American consumer is permitted to buy the same copper from the same mines and' the same producers in his own market? "Shall we tax wool, in face of the following extract from the report of the American Commissioners to the Paris Exhibition of 1867, superadded to the unrelieved disastrous record of domestic experience since the enactment of the wool tariff of the same year: 'The Hdvantage which the European manufacturer enjoys over the American in the command of an unlimited supply ot every variety of wool, cannot be overestimated. The range of fabrication of the American manufacturer in clothing and combing wools is limited to the produce of-American flocks, under the almost prohibitory duty upon their wools. The European can select trom the peculiar products ot every climate and soil of the whole world, andwggice the capacity of the European man turer to relieve himself from hoi

?~5

competition by changing at pleasure the character of his fabrics, which the American manufacturer, by reason of tariff, cannot do? "Or shall we do away with these and a multitude of other similar taxes, and collect a corresponding revenue from tea and coffee, which pay specific duties, which cannot be undervalued, which cannot to any extent be smuggled, which do not come to the consumer burdened with a large aggre-

which are brought into only a tew ports, and the taxes on which are collected at less expense than any others that can be named out of thwholeJschedule,and pass with tho,minimum ol abatement into the Treasury ene^t of tho Government? Whether the taxes on tea and coffee do or do not fall on the consumer, i3 a question in this connection entirely irrelevant. The Government Jias got to be provided annually with a certain amount of revenue, aud the only question lor the people is, How shail this revenue be raised most equitably, certainly and economically? If any one thinks it can be done by admitting tea and coff-e free, and taxing wool, linseed oil, dyestufls, steel, soda ash, hair-pins, wood screws, Bibles and ice, I respectfully beg leave to differ. "One word more. How were the duties formerly imposed on tea and coffee removed? As part of the argument on this subject it is important to consider this question. In 1872 the customs revenues were so large ($212,Gilt,000) that a popular demand for a general reduction of rates seemed likely to be imperative. Foreseeing this aud being desirpus of holding on to every dollar of existing protective and restrictive duties, the leading protectionists planned to reduce the aggregate revenues to such an extent by removing tho duties from tea and cullee, as would give them a ground for claiming that any further reduction would be most injudicious and dangerous. They accordingly baited their trap with the specious nonsenso of a free breakfast table, and a sufficient number of men, calling themselves free-traders, or revenue reformers, walked into it. This, iu a few words, comprises the whole story. I am yours, very respectfully,

DAVID A. WkijI.S."

TIMNG TO RULE THE NAUGHTY SOUNDING TELEGRAMS,

War of Words Between the Great Lawyers.

EXAMINATION OF GllANT.

PRESIDENT

He Has Perfect Conlldeiic3 in Babcock's Integrity.

Nearly all the morning session was taken up in trying to trace, through the telegraph clerks of this city and Washington, and also Oy the doorkeepers and messengers of the Executive Mansion, certain telegrams not yet admitted, aud to prove that they were received and sent back and forth between Joyce and McDonald here, and General j,abcock in "Washington.

Finally the defense waived this proof as to one dispatch, and allowed the following, admitted to be in General Babcock's handwriting, to be

rea(j•

Washington, D. C., Dec. -01,1SG4. To General John McDonald, St. Louis Missouri:

I succeeded they will not go. I will write you. [Signed] SYLPH.

Before this was read, Judge Porter announced that they proposed to make a lengthy legal argument against the admission of the other telegrams, and perhaps they might wish to include this Sylph dispatch in those objected to by the defense, but wished to reserve that point.

Deputy Commissioner Rogers was called and testified I had a consultation with General Babcock in regard to the transfer of revenue agents Babcock said he had heard that Mr. Douglass was about to issue an order directing a transfer of agents I told him the order had that morning been issued. He expressed his regret as it would bring a political pressure on Douglass, and he would be forced to revoke the order, and.that would work disastrously to him. Douglass was at that time spoken of as a candidate for Judge of the Court of Claims. There would be more or less odium on him (Gen. Babcock) on account of the failure of the enterprise, when the order was revoked. That interview came about by a messenger bringing me either a note or a verbal communication from General Babcock. I had no previous^conver sation with him on this matter. I did speak to him before about the judgeship of the court of claims. There was not a word said in the conversation with General Babcock at his house in regard to the breaking up ot the frauds here. Douglass was not appointed judge of the court of claims, for there was no vacancy I do not know that the revoking of the order changing the supervisors, had cast such odium on Douglass that he was not appointed. In the conversation with Gen. Babcock I told him I should report the interview to Mr. Douglass.

On cross-examination the witness said: I had two ihterviews with General Babcock, thefiret of which I sought myself. My ulterior view was to promote the interest of Mr. Douglass iu connection with Judge Jeship, of the cqurt of claims, thinking, no doubt, I might get the position held by him as Commissioner. Gen. Babcock expressed great friendship for Mr. Douglass. I do not know of any influence brought to bear, except from rumor, to have the order transferring the superoisors revoked. I .think I made application by letter to General McDonald, to secure his assistace. I had.no suspitions of him at that time. The revoking of the order by the President would create an impression that Mr. Douglass was rebuked. The leading object of General Babcock was the Judge Douglass in teres t,although he had one more object, viz: saving the President from being an« noyed.

The opposition of the defense to the admission of the despatches alleged to have passed between Joyce and McDonald and Babcock, was carried to the utmost extremity. They wpuld admit nothing the clear

Cvv°N '.*

ed. They required not only proof of the authorship and transmission by telegraph, but that the dispatches were actually placed in the hands of the persons to whom they were addressed. So far the prosecution have satisfied the defense only in one instance—that of the "Sylph" telegram, given above. The defense also objected to the relevancy of these dispatches, and stated that

mo3t

Judge Dillon made a partial ruling on this question, taking the same ground he did the other day when deciding about the admission of the testimony of Everest regarding the mailing of letters to Babcock and Averv, with money enclosures.

He said: It is true there is no positive proof that this dispatch was delivered. It is traced into the hands of the doorkeeper of the Presidential mansion. He has no independent recollection of this particular dispatch. He states that his custom was to receive them, deliver them himself or send them by others. Now, we won't say that this does not raise a large presumption that this was received, but we are inclined to think, as we said the other day, that this is evidence tending to show that, aud prefer that it be laid before the jury for its consideration.

It was then agreed that the dispatches should be grouped together, and the question of their delivery, &c., and their relevancy, should be argued at the same time.

At the opening of the afternoon session the counsel on both sides appeared with numerous law books and evidently prepared to make their arguments as strong as possible. Several witnesses from Washington, includiug Douglass and Rogers, were excused from further service and will leave for home to-night.

Mr. Storrs opened the argument for the defense, He said: This seems to be a good opportunity to take bearings iu this case, to see whether we are driitiug and, if possible, to get out of this fog, thi9 smoke, this general conspiracy, iu which we have been lost these five days. To do this it is necessary to consider the indictment. Nearly five days have been spent in trying to ascertain whether any conspiracy ever exested. A very small part of that time has been produced against him. This conspiracy must first be shown to have existed. It is not every declaration which is admissible. The admission in whatever shape, or the declaration in whatever form, not material, is not admissible. The paper presented has not been shown as it must be, to be material. If there is any occult meaning, that must be shown before the paper can be accepted the bench can not present a paper out of which innocence may appear or guilt be guessed until it shall be shown which is the meaning. Here we put in telegrams, the most susceptible of all documentary evidence to distortion. The ones produced cannot be received as evidence because they show an intimacy between Joyce and McDonald and the defendant. Becaause men have been intimate in years past, and the guilt of one has just been discovered, the guilt of the others can not be proven by documents like abreviated telegrams, and the kind of testimony sought to be introduced. A man cannot be held responsible for the pres* ent condition of a man with whom eight or ten years ago we may have been intimate. The trouble is that the court and the jury will fail to put themselves in the defendants position. It is not enough that it must be shown that these dispatches were sent by the defendant to this corrupt combination. It must be shown that the defendant knew of thi* corruption before this telegram becomes admissible. Gen. Babcock is not indicted for giving information to Joyce aud McDonald, and it is not unlawful for them to ask, or for him to communicate such information. To make such inquiries illegal, the prosecution must first prove that Joyce and McDonald asked this of Babcock for incorrect motives and purposes that they were corrupt men that the defendant is and was a corrupt man, and that he knew the corrupt purposes sought oy Joyce and McDonald. He said that after a search of many telegraph offices and the efforts made to procure the defendant's private correspondence, four (purposeless so far as this case is concerned) telegrams have been found. He cited the "Sylph" dispatch, aud one other, and said that all combined were no evidence to show that the defendant had any knowledge of the frauds at gt. Louis. Refering to Joyce's dispatches, he said: They are no more declarations because they are written and no more admissible. When declaration are supposed declarations made by one who is absent to a third party, and that is not admissible. Mr. Storrs cited a number of authorities without, reading them, and said in conclusion: We think with reference to telegrams addressed to Gen. Babcock to Jovce, it will be found that they had no relation to the subject matter involved in this trial, and second, that they

were

unanswered, and

it is not shown that they were receive ed by Gen. Babcock. Col. Dyer followed Storrs, contendisg that there is evidence to prove an important fact, which is that the in formation received from Washington by the ring here gives them knowledge of the contemplated visits of revenue agents. These dispatches of Babcock, taken in their proper connection, tend to show this, and that he furnished this information or some of it the evidence should go to the jury and its weight be decided by

evid.euce,

objections at

considerable length, and to this view they requested the prosecution to group all their dispatches together, that the argument might be made at one time rather than 011 each dispatch when (ffTered. The dispatch which met the

deter

mined and persistent opposition is one sent from St Jjouis December 3, 1S74, to General Babcock, signed

J-.'» admitted to be in Joyce's handwriting, But it was not read, and there fore the contents are not known outside the counsel. The dispatch was placed into the hands of George S. Joyce, door-kaPDer at the secretary's office?, in the Executive Mansion at Washington who receipted for it but as Joyce died some months ago there is no positive proof that Gen. Babcock received it. Other dispatches were traced in like manner to doorkeepers or others who receipted for them, but these persons who were placed ou the stand aud testified to receiving and receipting for them, as was shown by the receipt books of the telegraph com ity, coul'inotidentify or swear to" Hie actual delivery of any particular dispatch to the person to whom it was addressed.

What Piucliback has tJ

**.

Col. Broadhead then spoke for the prosecution and gave numerous authorities to show that these dispatches were not only relevant and competent, but that they were evidently connected with tne conspiracy, and, taken in connection with thecircnmstances testified to and events shown fKo*

they were a part of

that con-piracy. He contended that

entirely

8£0U

competent and

admitted, and the jury

should be allowed, under proper rulings and instructions of the court, to give tnem such consideration as thev tnougbtxhey were worthy of. .Judge Porter then began an argument, taking pretty much the same grounds as Mr. Storrs claiming that regard to some of the dispatches produced, there was

110

proof that

they were ever received hy General Babcock and respecting the others purporting to have been written by him, there is no evidence to prove that he ever saw or knew anvthiuj: about them.

Before Judge Porter got fairly into his speech, the court adjourned, and the argument will be continued on Monday.

Washington, Feb. 12.—The President to-day was examined iu ths Babcock case at the executive mansion, Wm. A. Cook, of this citv, representing Babcock, and Mr. Eaton the Government. The examination was attended by Chief Justice Waite and Attorney Gen. Pierrepont. The deposition wili not be made public uutil it is read in court in St. Louis.

Washington, Feb, 12.—The deposition of the~President in the case of Babcock was taken to-day at the executive mausion. There was present, Chief Justice Waite, Secretary Bristow, Attorney General Pierrepont Wm. A. Cook, of Babcock's counsel, and Mr. Eaton, who represented the prasecution, The examination began at 11 a. m. and terminated at2 m. It is said to be thorough and characterized by the straightforward ness which marks the President's utterances. Ooth being administered by the Chief Justice, the examiuat ion developed the facts that Babcock had uot influenced or attempted to influence the executive in the selection of any official involved in the so called whisky ring, and that he had not uterfered in auy manner to cause the suspension of the celebrated order for the transfer of the supervisors, but that the revocation was directed by the President himself in order that tho suspicion being removed from the minds of those engaged in frands, they might more readily be detected in their efforts to cheat the Gover ment out of revenue on distilled spir its that the President has implicit confideuce in the integrity of Babcock, aud is satisfied with his explanation ot the dispatches which have formed so important an element in his prosecution.

The cross-examination elicited nothing of importance whatever. It's object seemed to be directed more against the President than Gen Babcock. It, however developed the fact that if there had been anything wrong

011

the part of that offi-.

cer, which the President emphatically stated he did not believe," it was entirely without the knowledge of the executive. The President stated that during the twelve years Babcock had been intimately associated with him he had not learned any* thing to impair confidence in his integrity. The testimony, as a whole is declared to be stronly iu favor of Babcock's honesty.

say.

Washington,Feb. 13.—Hon. S. Pinchbaclc has replied in a public letter to the attack recently made on his personal character by Senator Merriman, and says that tho colored people do not favor a color line in politics, or a political organization on a basis of race They entertain kindly feelings for their white fellow citizens, and are anxious to vote on all questions before the country on their merits. They appreciate fully the evils that result to them and to the community from political complications in the Soutk, They recogniza the imperative need of co-ope ration between the races in order to settle their divisions and secure good local Governments, and wherever the persecutions against tliem are over, or shall.so far cease as to permit independent political action by them, with some protection to life and person, as is eojoyed by other citizens, they will bs found willing to sink all ruce or minor conditions to accomplish these desirable ends. Pinchback invoked the indignation of the country in rebuke of men who seek and use every opportunity to put in question the in tegrity of the colored race «nd impair their political and social rights.
