The articles tyc have been pub lishing on tbo Tariff question, we are glad to learn, arc directing the attention of the people to that im portant subject, and they seem anxious to get all the information possible on the system of indirect taxation which is proving such a heavy burden upon them. Many seem to have an idea that the Tariff is a difficult and abstruse subject to comprehend, but is seems to us that it is no more difficult to un derstand than many other ques tions of equal importance. One of the first lessons to learn is as to the amount of tax each one pays in this indirect way and liny one can ascertain this very reodily when the valuation and rates arc given. All taxes paid to the general government are indirect, or, in other words, a tax or duty on articles consumed, hut not col lected immediately from the con sumer. The Tariff tax on import ed goods, is first collected at the Custom House, Irom tho importer. When be sells the goods to the wholesale dealer, lie adds to the first cost of the goods, the Tariff tax he pays, and his profit on both cost and tax. Tho wholesale deal er does tho same when lie sells to the retail dealer, nnd he in turn charges the consumer with the eost, lax and profit, when he sells it, so that the man who uses and consumes tho imported goods, pays the cost, the tax, and the profits added by the importer, wholesale and retail dealers. Now, to find wlint amount of Tariff tax each person pays,; it is only necessary to first figure out the value of the goods purchased on which there is a tariff duty, and then by multiply ing that amount by the rate ofduty lcticd the amount of tax appears For instanco suppose a person purchased during the year $200 worth of articles subject to the Tariff duty. The average ■ rate is 53J per cent. Then by multiply ing the $200 by that rate wo get $97 00, the amount of tho tax which is paid on the good purchas ed. That our readers may be able to figure this tax far themselves, we give below the Tnriff tnx levied on each dollars worth that they con sume, and in this way they will be enabled to diesover just how oncrou8;and 4 bnrdcnsomo the tax is Dutiable Article*.
