HONG KONG, JULY 10, 1831....
LEADING members of the Demo. cratic party in the United States" are showing a decided tendency to revolt against the high protective tariffs introduced by the Hoovin Administration. This is the more significant because the Democrats, in the last Presidential campaign, accepted the principle of protective tariffs. Governor FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, of New York, a likely candidate for the Presideney next year, said on his return. from visit to Europe:

I continue to be convinced that the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Law" is one of the most important factors in the present worldwide depres sion. This Tariff Law proved from the day it was passed a serious hindrance in the interchange of goods known 13 world trade. Neither American nor world-wide prosperity can return by building import-proof tariff walls around each nation. The United States cannot expect merely to sell its gonde without buying other goods in return, and a flow of goods throughout the world markets must be restored. Our present Tariff Law is one of the most serious obstacles to, the return of prosperity.
Senator CORDELL HULL of Ten nessce, said in a recent statement:
