their condltloa to the Irish emigrant, who,
be said, landed at New Tork without a dol

One of our Washington correspondeots ha

ystcmof high tariff which 1 levied upon
almost every article of ni and comfort In
the dally consumption of the community.
Some aurprire has been expressed that any
high tariff man should give It his support
In reaUtr. however, the duty of 11.25 upon
bituminous coal U a very moderato one when
compared, for example, with some other,
such aa the doty on iron, wuica 1 v wa,
