TAHIFK A TAX.
I'arilf is a tax in the seusethat the
.'nee that tin- fanner Iniilds around
his earilen or his corn field is a tax
paid !y the farmer. It is a tax that
consists of the cost of the construc
tion anil maintenance of the fence
And, yet, the fence must he con
simeteil and maintained, oi the
trespassing animals of the neit h,,r.
hood would destroy the entire pro
ceeds of the lahor and the fruits of
the land, of the farmer. The tariff
is also a tax, in that the cost of its
onstriiction and maintenance in iv

the commercial trespass th it is
thus repelled would he greater than

June ol this y ear were very littli
more than a third of what the
were in June of last ear. This is ;
nrit is 1 1 estimate, and our free tradi
1 1 lends cannot dispute its accuracy
' et some ol them persist in saying
that the American tin plate manu

They are entitled to the hem-tit of
this olijection, hut we In'g to inform
them that there is a diminution of
more than one-third of our imports
of this material when the statixtirs
of I VI'J are compared with those of

in the matter of tin-plate.

where retrenchment was possihle
was in the pension appropriation
