Yours truly, Why Not?"
Response by the Tribune.
That it la much easier to ask than to an
swer questions is already well known; and
tbe dUoouragetnent in tbe premiums it), that
the elaborate response is forgotten and the
needless question aeked over again, as though
it bad never b-en answered. We bare an
swered (in snbotanoe) the above at least forty
times: let ns do it onue more, and see if it will
not stay answered for at least six months.
Tbe fundamental assumption of oar corres
pondent is a thrice-refuted fallacy. lie asdumes
that, if we should grow onr own tea, oar aggre
gate imports would be rednoed by the value
of the tea now imported, when ezperlenoe
baa repeatedly demonstrated the contrary. In
our childhood, we listened from chimney
corners -to the fireside disoussions whioh
attended tbe nnBO.ocWo.1 attempt to enaot a
protective tariff in 1822, and the snooessfal
attempt to pass a partially protective one in
1624; and the argument of the free traders (in
Hew England) ran thus: "If we proteot
domestic manufactures, we shall cease to im
port; without importation there can be little
oemmeree and no revenue from imports; so
we shall bave to resort to direct taxation for
tbe support of the Federal Government; and
that will throw tbe entire burden on the
land that is, on the farmers. In that oase
real estate must fall, and the rioh,
selling out their lands, desert the
country . for tbe cities." How utterly
these doleful forebodings were dissipated by
the result, we need not restate. Oar most
protective tariff bave always produced tbe
most ample and constant revenues. If we
bad utterly prohibited 6ine 1789 tbe importa
tion of Iron and steel, we have no shadow of
doubt that our aggregate revenues from cus
toms would bave been greater than tbey have
been, because onr people would have been far
rioher, and thus would bave imported far
more of tax-paving prod acts. And now, were
we to grow all our own tea henceforth, our
loss of revenue on that article would be more
than made up by tbe increased importations
of other artiolea consequent on the inorease of
our general resources. We should have
bought more foreign products, beoaase able to
pay for more; Jnst as Massachusetts has
always consumed a larger aggregate of duty
paying imports than Virgluia.
Is this bard to onmprehend ? Then look at
faots whioh illustrate it:
For the last eight years we bave bad a
tariff incidentally protective; for the eight
preoedlflg' we bad a much lower tariff, im
posed for revenue only or mainly. Now let
ns see what bave been the aggregates of im-
Etrta (not revenue) under the lower and the
gber tariff respectively :
The imports at this pert for the month of
February of tbe last sixteen years respectively
are officially valued (in gold) as follows:

per month.
It will be seen that our imports are not de
clining that tbey bave been much larger in
the last four years of peaoe than in the four
preceding years of war; and onr revenue
therefrom also keeps np. In the eight months
ending with February of the present and two
preoeding years, the casb (gold) paid into the
Treasury as duties on imports at our city are
offioially reported as follows:
1887, $81,470,238 l&6i, $71.661,482 1 1869, $79,458,486
We trust our correspondent's apprehen
sion that revenue from imports will be de
stroyed by protection is by this time dissi
pated. Bis apprehension that "thex consumer
would not get it cheaper" if we grew our own
tea is at war with notorious (acts. We have
naturalized many branches of production
among us by the help of protective daties;
and that onr people are now generally sup
plied with metals, wares, and fabrloj far
cheaper than they would be if we produced
none but imported all, we bold as demonstra
bly tine as that we drink cheaper water than
though we imported our entire supply from
Europe. If any one doubts this, let him com
pare tbe prioes paid by us with those paid by
our grandfathers sixty to seventy years ago.
Doubtless, we might buy some salt, iron,
blankets, sheetings, etc, cheaper if we bad no
tariff; but let us attempt to draw our entire
supply from abroad, and the prioes wouldrise
far above those we now pay.
If our correspondent thinks it smart to oom
pare the growing of pineapples in hot boasea
with' tbe growth of tea in South Carolina or
Tennessee, very well; but we assure him that
is not argument. We do not propose to grow
coffee, simply beoause we bave not the proper
climate: we do wish to grow tea, because we
bave a olimate substantially identical with
that in which the tea we now drink is
crown in China or Japan. And we bave
every reason to believe that tea, after a few
years of ignorance and experiment, would
be grown liere lar cneaper man we now ou
tain it.
We hope this simple, eaBy lesson in first
principles will not be lost on that large class
who are more ready to ask questions than to
give careful heed to tbe answers.
President Grant and American Citizenship.
Wmn the If. T. Time.
The few words uttered by General Grant In
response to Mr. Blodgett's delegation, Thurs-
Am iflarnnnn rA fnll of iLiiticaDCe. "lie
wanted to see one thing very muoh, and that
was, all classes of tbe people protected in their
opinions everywhere. He debired to seethe
speedy establishment 01 law an oucr ui m
South." ....
Thu fa a MnAtltlnn. obviously, of the formal
and pregnant idea of the Inaugural Aldress:
Security of person and property, and security
ivr religions ana political opinion, ui r
part of onr common oountry, without regard
to looal prejudice." And both, let us add, are
Ueneral Grant in a letter said to be written by
blm last September or Ootobr: "Charlie, I
l honld the people make me President, you I
and tbe people may be assured that all men ...
will be Dwiniitted to speak their honest oon- ,
vlotions, wherew they may be, within the
boundaries of the United States."
In truth, to secure protection of indtvUaal
rights and freedom of expression for politic l
opinion within tbe limits of order and law
are likely to be cardinal alms of General
Grant's administration.-- Wendell Phillips
need not be anxious about "Ku-KIak out
tbroats;" tbe new administration Is more bant
on putting down villainous combinations to
substitute terrorism for tranquillity than he
can ever be, and by means more effective, if
less noisy and bloodthirsty. It is not only in
tbe instant promotion ef Sheridan and the re
instatement of tboee army offloers who were
removed in dipgraoe by Mr. Johnson that we
learn the new President's determloatiou
regarding "military reconstruction," and
tit protection of soolety at the South from
the reckless and lawless we can prefigure
it as clearly from his personal charac
ter. For it is a familiar truth in human
nature that men of General Grant's
slow-stirring and equable temperament
are as little liable to swerve and
swing away from a deliberate opinion or
polioy, when once reached, as they are tardy
to attain it. General Grant's realization of the
importance, as well as the grandeur, of secur
ing individual rights as, for example, free
dom of opinion and anuntrammeledoareer to
every human being on whom American oiti
zeneblp has been lawfully oonferred, was, pos
sibly, like bis faith in the policy known as
'military reconstruction," of somewhat slower
growth tban that of more restless thinkers,
who, In turn, bave their roving fanoies now
fixed on other ideals; but he is probably more
determined than any man in America, at this
moment, to establish order, provide seourity
for person and property, enforoe the laws, and
punish armed and banded law-breakers by
military foroe where the civil arm is still
paralyzed.
If General Grant arrived later, we repeat,
at some conclusions, it waa because be did not
jump at them, and arrived to stay. lie abides
by tbe views be put forth in bis famous dis
pute with Mr. Johnson at the time of Sheri
dan's removal, and baa gone forward on the
same line. He seems to know little and care
little for wrangling parties at the South, one
Bating to the other, "I am more loyal than
thou;" be baa little to say of "political disa
bilities," and that little not in favor of them;
bis words regarding Lee, and bis aot regard
ing Longstreet, show that vindiotiveneas
towards former enemies is as foreign as ever
to his nature; but when it comes to any mat
ter of national legislation aiming to give full
rights and privileges of citizenship to every
citizen whether by Civil Rights bill, four
teenth amendment, fifteenth amendment, or
whatnot bis approbation and indorsement
are very prompt and hearty.
In tbe history of the Republic for nearly
eighty years, everything was done for State
rights and national rights nothing of conse
quence for domestio rights of citizenship.
But the Rebellion, which revolutionized Ame
rican destiny in so many respeots, did so in
none more notably than this. The rights of
American citizenship now take the precedence
of all others, as tbey always should have
done In a Uepnblin where the electoral people
are sovereign. We bave lately undertaken
to protect those rights even against Stales
that is to say, against tbat odious looal legis
lation which onue imperilled within the Re
pnblio freedom of travel, of opinion, and of
speech. How vast a politioal and national
tendency this is, our nearness to it may pre
vent ns from realizing; but the historian of
the fnture, who will view it in its just per
spective, will oomment upon it as not less
momentous than tbe war itself.
Our generation, also, may not fully appre
ciate what lustre and historio grandeur will
gather about tbat administration which shall
first establish as one of its main aims the
protection of American citizenship, making
tbat citizenship the badge of seourity for
equal rights to all, throwing about the citi
zen as a citizen not only in foreign countries,
where his rights are now at length acknow
ledged, but here, especially, in every part of
his own country the aegis of his nationality,
and putting into each citizen's hand, as it
were, for bis protection against all the world,
the gathered thunderbolts of the nation.
Under suoh an administration, the "Civis
Rom anus sum" of antiquity will only stand side
by side with the safeguard'! am an Ameri
can citizen."
Tbat suoh is tbe lofty ambition of General
Grant we may gather from bis various utter
ances, which beoome.more and more distinct.
Certainly we may take an augury from the
presence as law adviser in the Cabinet of the
son or bamnel Hoar. Wbat a change, not
more from tbe South Carolina of 1844 to the
South Carolina of 1869. than from the nation
ot five-and-twenty years ago to the nation of
to-day; from American citizenship of the past

Who Backed Napoleon Ont of Mexico"-
Who Killed Cock Koblu J
From Ote N.Y. Herald.
We bave an extraordinary Minister at
Brazil. He is officially recognized as General
James Watson Webb, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary, etc., but is
familiarly known as the Ctievaher Webb. He
baa been attending to the affairs of the United
Ftates at Rio Janeiro for eight long years, and
has managed to keep thiuga very lively down
there pretty muoh all the time, without get
ting ua into actual war. But it appears from
a late mysterious exposition, published since
the retirement of Audy Johison and his Se
cretary of State, tbat the Chevalier Webb.
besides his important questions of diplomatic
etiquette and bis active labors lu the affairs of
Brazil, Paraguay, and the Aigentine Confede
ration, and bis misunderstanding with Ad ml
ral Davis, etc, has had some other diplomatic
irons in the lire that, in short, the country
a inueuiea 10 weou, among otner things,
lor me quiet oauKing out of .Louis iNapo
leon from Mexico.
The case thus male out for Webb is as full
of dates and specifications, and is as plausible
in the argument as the statement of Cun
ningham concerning the Rogers murder.
Briefly summed up, it amounts to this: That
en route to Brazil lu 18C1, the Chevalier" Webb
dropped in at Paris to have a" little
diplomatic tote attte with bis old friend
and pitoher the Emperor Napoleon, which
resulted in a promise from the Emperor to
respect President Lincoln's blockade of the
Rebel States. Secondly, that when the said
Webb beard of the Franco-Maximilian adven
ture into Mexioo be made another trip aoross
tbe Atlantic and bad another confidential chat
with Napoleon, in which he was advised to
beck out of Mexico, this good advloe resulting
in a promise from the Emperor to back out if
we did not threaten or attempt to bully him
out. This secret understanding, it next appears,
was confined to Webb, Napoleon, and Linooln;
for, to keep it out of the newspapers, it was
not made known to the Seoretary of State. Bo
it was that when Andrew Johnson went into
the White House in 18G5 be and Seward, both
being ignorant of Webb's arrangement, com
menced to open fire on the French usurpation
in a style somewhat alarming. No time was
to be lost, and 10 the Chevalier Webb lost no
time la another trip from Brazil to Paris and 1
in seeking another confidential oht with Na
poleon, the result of whioh was the final agree-
tunu uun muiuu tug rrenoa troops were
withdrawn from Mexioo, our Minister at Paris,
as well as onr Seoretary of 8tatc, still being
ien id mo ui&. uuvii me settlement was ac
cepted by Mr. Linooln.
Thus," says' thU exposition from the
Chevalier Webb, "thus it appears that the
State Department had nothing whatever to do
with tbe settlement or the Mexican question."
It waa all done through the Chevaiier Webb
and bis old friend. Seoretary Seward had the
wool pulled over bis eyes, and was indulsed
thronghout the French ooonpat on of Mexioo
in bis superfluous aud preposterous semi
belligerent diplomatio correspondence with
the French Minister of State. Poor old man 1
Wbat a grim joke was this of Webb against
his colliding benefaotor, the man who had
Veen the savng and the making of Webb I Is
not this requital worse than tbat of the
courageous donkey Kicking the dead lion f
But the Chevalier Webb, whether hauled
over the ooals by the sage of Auburn or
treated by him with silent contempt, cannot
be allowed to monopolize the glory of baoklng
Napoleon out of Mexico We have no doubt
that tbe Chevalier Colorado Jewett and the
Chevalier Thnrlow Weed and other volunteer
diplomats bad a finger in this Mexloan pie.
For the present, however, we are ooatent In
bringing forward the rival claims of the Cheva
lier Wikoff. lie, too, is an old personal friend
of Louis Napoleon, and the tr'emlship be
tween these two wonderful men began in
the prison of Ham, where a friend in ned
was a friend indeed. The Chevalier Wikoff
oan tell a score of personal conversations with
Napoleon for every one of these diplomatio
interviews of Webb, and be knows all about
tbe entente cordiale of I00J against Uussla
between England and France; for Wikoff in
this matter was the coufldential messenger
employed between Napoleon aud Lord Palmer
ston. Now, then, for the Mexican claims of
the Chevalier Wikoff against the pretensions
of the Chevalier Webb.
Under the peaoeful dispensation of Andy
Johnson tbe Chevalier Wikoff was seized with
the brilliant idea of solving the Mexican prob
lem in a trip to Paris and a talk with his old
friend Napoleon, who is always glad to see
Wikoff. It was evident that Seward was
groping in the dark, and so Wikoff, with or
without the advice and consent of the Senate
or the State Department, went over to Paris
and laid the great mistake and the great
danger of Napoleon's "grand idea" of a pro
tectorate over Mexico fairly and freely before
the Emperor. We have a sort of an impres
sion that tbe views of Wikoff thus delivered
oonvinotd Napoleon that his only course of
safety waa to back out of Mexico. We have
not the exaot faots or detail of this mission of
Wik ff before ns, but we presume that he will
obeerfully, if called upon, supply them. Ao-
oordiugly we call upon him for the faots; for
we believe that tbey will scatter these Mexican
pretensions of the Chvalier Webb to the
winds. Let Wikoff remember, too, in putting
in bis claims, tbat the issue ot thia contro
versy may settle the mission to Brazil for the
next four years. Who knows f The ingrati
tude of Webb towards Johnson and Seward is
unquestionably dead against him.
Fre ldent Graut and Congress.
Wromthe N. Y. World.
The tendenoy of our politics, for tbe last
four years, has been to dwarf the influence
and importance of the Eseoutlve Department
of tbe Government, and build np and enlarge
the authority 01 Congress, when ueneral
Grant was elected, be seems to have been
aware tbat bis office was shorn of its former
powers and prestige, and to have desired to
reoover its weight as a oo-ordinate branoh of
the Government. The methods to which he
resorted to feoare this desirable result are
such as could bave been adopted only by a
novice who was not only without experience
in politico, but to whom nature had denied
the aptitudes by which politioal ends are ac
complished. His first mistake consisted in
disclosing, and, as it were, advertising, his
intention to emancipate himself from Con
gressional control. I he purpose was praise
worthy; but the means which be selected
were calculated to frustrate it. Instead of
standing aloof and rejecting the advloe of Con
gressmen, a skilful politician would have
sought tbeir assistance, and bave won the Con
gressional chiefs to his side by an appearanoe
of deference, and by seeming to take them
into his confidence. By flattering their self-
importance he might easily have oonverted
them into allies; or, at all events, they would
bave been more moaned to give blm their 00
operation as recognized advi-ers than when
treated with repulsive ooldness. The true
way to weaken Congress was by bringing
over to bis side the most influential leaders
of tbat body. Every weight taken out of one
scale and put into the other would bave a
doub'e effect. It would bave weakened Con
gress by diminishing the amount of talents
against him, and have strengthened himself by
enlisting those talents in his own favor. Gene
ral Grant has played his game badly, inasmuoh
as be has lelt Congress as strong as it was
under President Johnson, and has gathered
around blm a set of advisers who are singu
larly unfitted to cope with and counterbalance
that body.
In the whole list of the Cabinet, Mr. Bout
well is the only member who has reoently
served in Congress; and he is a man who has
never bad much Influence either as a parlia
mentary or as a party tactician. Mr. Fish has
not been in Congress for many years, and bis
talents were never those of a Keen pirliamen
tarian nor of a party manager; Mr. Borie has
never been in Congress at all, bai never re
sided in Washington, and is perfectly raw as
a politician; Mr. Cox Is a young man without
(onneotions or influence, who never held any
civil offloe bnt that of Governor of Ohio; Mr.
Hoar is a mere jurist; Mr. Rawlins a mere
army officer; Mr. Creswell an insignificant ex-
Senator wbo served part of a term. Tbe only
way to bave connterbalanced the overgrown
influence of Congress was by forming a tab!
net of great political experience and great
acendaooy over the masses of the Republioan
party. The Cabinet should bave been com
posed of men who had large gifts of leader
ship. If a number of these bad been taken
out of Congress, tbe influence of that body
wonld have been weakened in proportion as
tbat of the administration was strengthened,
wbioh would have been a double advantage
Bat as General Grant has managed, Con
gress is just as strong and just as arrogant as
it was under President Johnson, and is con
fronted by a Cabinet ot politioal ciphers, so
far as regards their ability to manipulate and
manage the Republican party. Congress will
therefore have the whin-hand of the new Pre
sident tbrooghont b's term of offioe. All tbe
men whom the Republican party follow and
trust as leaders have been passed by and
ignored in the composition of the Cabinet.
General Grant has organized a small body of
raw recruits to oppose the veteran hosts of
vongreas, who bave triumphed in so many
battles with the late President, it requires
no skill to nrediot the result. The new Pre
sident will be foiled in every oontest with
Congress; and tbe Executive, instead of re
covering us lost lnfluenoe under Uenerai urant,
will be merely a set of ministerial agents to
execute the will of the legislative body. r.
