Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent.)
WAsniKOTOX. D. C, May 12. 16S2.
Immense pressure is already
being brought to bear upon the
President in behalf of persons
anxious to serve on the tariff com
mission; and the applicants do not
consider that they know nothing
about the subject of the tariff, but
are completely absorbed with the
idea of $10 per diem and expenses.
The President will, it is hoped,
put some experts on the commis
sion, but it will require all his
nerve and determination to with
stand the appeals of politicians.
It is generally accepted here as
conclusive that the commission
will perpetuate its existence for
several years to come, and if it
makes any report at all at tho be
ginning of the next session of Con
gress, it will be merelv one of a
preliminary character. Indeed,
the longer the protectionists can
.keep the commission in existence
the better they will be pleased
It mav be set down as a dead cer
tainty that nothing will be done
with the tariff during the life of
this Congress, and if the Demo
crats of the next Congress sur
render to the straight-out protect
ionists as they have now, any
hopes the tariff reformers may
have of a revision of the present
tariff prior to the Presidential
election of 1884 will prove groundless.
Unless the sentiment of the
Senate is verv different from that
of the House we shall soon have
a new Cabinet officer, to be known
as the Secretary of Agriculture.
The work so energetically pursued
by Mr! Le Due while he was Com
missioner Is likely to be crowned
with succes long after that worthy
but visionary person has followed
into obscurity bis non-producing
tea-plants and experimental toad
stools. liut.Lo Due is not the
first Commissioner who aimed to
exalt' tho honors of his office.
Ever since tho creation of the De
partment of Agriculture the Com
missioner of that bureau for the
time being has been ambitious to
bo . made a 'Cabinet officer, and
through himself and his friends
has constantly agitated the sub
ject before Congress. The first
Commissioner, Mr. Newton, took
the view that he was entitled to
rauk as. a Cabinet oficer" under the-l
bill creatintr 'the Department of
Agriculture, and demanded that
he should bo admitted to tho Cab
inet councils as a full member.
Tlwj.Prcsidi'nt who appointed him
did not i3couio liis pretention
nod he li.ul to o to Congress.
Bills have been frequently intro
durod in tho tvvo IIou'j.' to nuke
tho he.id of the department a cab
inet officer. Thev have been dis
cussed fioin time to time, but have
generally been looked upon more
with ridicule than with seriousness.
When Dr. Loritig, the present com
missioner, was appointed, his
friends said he never would rest
until he had s-uccecded where all
his predecessors had failed. He is
a man of wealth and fine address,
and, since his incumbenov.has en
tertained as handsomely as almost
any ono in Washington. It is an
adage as old as the hills that argu
ments addressed to the stomach
aro most forcible. It may bo that
the truth of tho old adago is asrain
made manifest in tho fact that th
house, with only seven dissenting
votes, passed a bill to make tho
commissioner of agriculturo a cab
inet officer,.or it may be that tho
motive and the causo of such re
markable unanimity was an inter
est in tho welfare of the agricult
- urists of the country. Just how
they will be benefited by making
a cabinet officer of tho commis
sioner of agriculturo will remain
. forjthe futuro to demonstrate.
The now executive department
is to be under the management of
a Secretary, who must be "an ex
perienced and practical agrioultur-
one or two sub-divisions should
bo taken from other executive
department of tho government to
increases tho importance, of these.
As passed, however the bill pro
vides for only three bureaus, the
sub-division of which already
exist, in form more or less definite,
in the Department of Agriculture,

to-day. The Bureau of Agricul
tural Products is to include botany,
chemistry, and etymology. These
divisions already form the hotter
part of the preseut Department of
Agriculture, tho first two being
important practical branches,
while the third, although of i cal
value, is the subject of great mirth
to the non-agricultural members of
Congress, who consider it great
fun to ridicule the division of
"bugology" of the Department of
Agriculture. Tho Bureau of Ani
mal Industry is to be in charge of
a veterinary surgeon, and embraces
in its duties tho investigation and
reports concerning the number,
condition, and value of the domes
tic animals in the country, and
shall provide for their protection
from diseases and collect and
disseminate information relative
to breeding, importation and im
provement of stock. The bureau
of lands and statistics is to report
on the resources and capabilities
of lands suitable for stock raising.
A second division of this bureau is
to bo devoted to the collection of
labor and agricultural statistics
and crop reports; while a third
division is to be employed in the
collection and circulation ot in
formation and statistics relating to
forestry, the demand and supply
of timber and tho preservation of
forests being made its especial
care. This synopsis will not im
press any ono laminar witn me
operations and conduct of the
present department of agriculture
with the idea that a new and orig
inal work is to be nndertaken, or
that the labors of tho department
as now carried on aro to be ma
terially expanded and dignified.
