QUANT'S POLITICAL STHATEGY.
t'rrm the S. 1'. World.
There Is much spo ulatlon here as to the Presi
dent's motive In postponing the appolutmnnt of a
Commissioner ef Internal Revenue In the plasoof
Mr. Delano. It wan generally supposed that this
ofllce would be filled before tho meeting of Con
gress, In order to avoid the pressure which the
frlomti of rival candidates will doutiMess thin bring
to bear on General Grant, It Is hinted Hint the Pre
sident may possibly Intend to reoniruend again tho
conversion of the luternal Revenue Bureau into a
department, by comMtilog with it tho Customs or
some other bureau of the Treasury Department, and
to placo at Its nead some prominent man of tne lie
publican party. Secretary Boutwell would probably
oppose such a measure, and would ba strongly sup
ported In Congress. Wax hing ton deipatch to the Tri
bune. Sinoo General Grant has surrendered to
the men "inside politics" and the virtuous
Simon Cameron has beoonie the President's
keeper, matters are managed with a sharp
eye to Grant's renomination. He fears Bout
well as a rival, but don't exactly see how ha
can get rid of him. Bout well is the sole prop
and pillar of the little popularity whiok
still remains to the administration. The
Treasury Department is the pivot of all the
praises which the Republican stump speakers
and party preRS bestowed on the adminis
tration during tho late political canvass for
members of Congress and Slate officers. The
oolleotiou of the taxes, the reduotion of the
publio debt, were dwelt npon as the great re
deeming traits of an administration in other
respects weak and indefensible. But these
eulogies belong to the Secretary of the Trea
sury rather than the President. Boutwell is
known to be ambitious; he would gladly run
for the Presidency; and Grant, though full of
jealousy, dares not remove him. Aided by
the dexterous advice of Cameron, he is there
fore soheming to flank an obstacle, which he
cannot attack in front.
The plan is to clip E out well's wings by
divesting him of his patronage as Secretary
of the Treasury. The machinery by which
the revenue is collected is very wide and ex
tensive in comparison with that by which it
is disbursed. The President's projeot to
create a Department of Revenue with a new
Cabinet officer at its head is the joint off
spring of Grant's jealousy and Cameron's
adroitness. It would strip Boutwell of all
his effective patronage. All the officer
for collecting both the internal and
the oustoms revenue are subor
dinates of the Secretary of tho Treasury,
and subject to his direction. They exoeed in
number every other class of officers except
the postmasters; and in influence thoy over
top all the other offioers together. In the
late Republican canvass in this State, for
example, everybody looked to Colleotor
Murphy as the "head centre" of political
movements, while scarcely a thought was be
stowed on Postmaster Jones. The revenue
service is the most powerf id branch of ad
ministration; and aa Grant has no pretext for
removing Boutwell, he and his advisers have
concocted a scheme for neutralizing his influ
ence by transferring his patronage to a new
officer, less independent of the President.
The fact that the Iribtme ia the vehiole
for exposing and reprobating this scheme is
significant, as showing that General Grant's
slaughter of Mr. Greeley has alienated the
most powerful organ of the Republican party.
The vast army of subordinates in all the
custom-houses are appointed by the Secretary
of the Treasury. To be sure, they are named
by the collectors, but they cannot be ap-
Sointed without the approval of the Secretary,
r. Boutwell, therefore, aa the laws now
stand, can prevent the appointment of
any subordinate revenue officer who
is not committed to his interest. .Grant is
unwilling that this formidable power should
rest in the hands of a suspected rival; and
so he postpones filling the vaoant office of
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in the
hope that (Jongress may be persuaded to
erect a new department, ana create a new
Cabinet officer, transferring to him all the
funotfons which give political influence to
the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Bout
well would thereby be dwarfed to a mere
oustodian of the publio funds and a dis
fcursmg officer to make payments. He would
also retain power to manipulate that financial
langhing-stock, his abortive funding scheme.
and to advertise, as at present, sales of gold
and purchases of bonds. But his effective
politioal patronage would be made over to
the new member of the Cabinet, the head of
the new Department of Revenue. The pro.
posed officer would be selected by General
Grant, who would take good care that he
sheuld neither have Presidential aspirations
or nis own, nor lavor loose of any rival.
The fact that such a schema to supplant
Boutwell is planned by General Grant
evinces his misgivings and his consciousness
of politioal weakness. He has expended the
great stock of military popularity with which
he came out of the war and to which he owed
bis nomination. Were it not for the patron
age ot nis omce, ne would be a politioal bank.

was truthfully depicted by General Butler in
his recent conversation published in the
Inbune, as followB:

knaves and wire-pullers "inside polkics," like

The Tribune is no doubt correo t ia its
prophecy that the scheme for stripping Bout
well will be frowned down by Congress. Not
that the Republicans feel any interest in
curbing Bout well's hopes; but they have dis
covered that Grant is an incubus npon the
paity, and many of them would be glad to
fch&ke him off. Ilia renomination will not be
accepted as a necessity, aa Linct-ln's was dur
ing the war. Already most of the talent aud
hraiss of the party give him sinister looks.
Sunuier, Butler, Teuton, Greeley, Trumbull,

publio men of the party; and the Now York
Jiif'iaif, the Evening 1'ont, the Chicago 7W
lune, the Cincinnati (Commercial, aud the Mis
souri J'tmocrot (the five principal Republican
journals in the United States), weuld regard
his renomination as a party misfortune. With
so many element of disaffection, the federal
patronage cannot help him much, as there
are a dozen republicans wno want omce lor
rvtry one that has it. When the time comes
for the nomination, the "expiring sands"
of Grant's control-of the patronage will have
"nearly run eut, and the offise-seekers, as
the more numerous body, will have more
influence than the offioe-holders. A strong
and popular administration nould subdue
them into silence and submission, but undsr
an insolvent 1 resident like urant tney will
receive too mnoh encouragement from party
leaders, and have too much influence with
the people, to be easily put down. Tho next
year will be spent in intrigues by Grant to
secure his renomination. and counter-intrigues
by the foes in his own party household to
foil him.
NO IIAStt!
From tr-e Ar. T. Tribune.
There are many of onr countrymen who
sincerely believe in free trade, an do many
others in protection; while there is a large
class who, not having yet studied the ques
tion, have no decidod opinion upon it not
to speak of politicians by trade who are ready
to profess or support any doctrine that seems
likely to favor their personal aspirations. We
entreat earnest free traders and earnest pro
tectionists to unite in demanding that the
issue between their respective doctrines shall
be made so broad and clear that the ili-ia-
formed and heedless shall be compelled to
ttcdy the subject and take one side or the
other, while the politicians by trade shall, in
the decision of this question, be reduced to
their proper insignificance.
If a great practical issue, aflecting the
well-being of our country and her people,
cannot be decided just right, we prefer that
it be decided exactly the other way. A mud
dled, half-and-half decision may stand for
years; while one that was wholly wrong
would be speedily and surely reversed.
We have so profound a conviction of the
beneficence and necessity of protection that
we are entirely willing to see a fair trial made
of thorough free trade; for we are sure that
the country would not, because it could not.
endure it. 1 wo years or complete, genuine
free trade would secure us against a repeti
tion of the mistake for at least a generation
Among the hard things so freely said of us
protectionists by our adversaries, we have
never yet known them to assert that we failed
to make a protective tariff when we had an
opportunity. "We never plead popular igno
ranee or prejudice as our excuse for aoting
in but half-hearted accordance with onr prin
ciples, and never plead for time to accustom
the people gradually to their oporation. In
our view the present time is always the right
time to adopt protection if it nas been dis
carded and maintain it if it has not. And we
are never aware of any pledges, or commit
tals, or peculiar circumstances, that render
partial or total free trade the right thing for
to-aay, tnougn perhaps not for to-morrow.
We have now a protective tariff. True, the
duties imposed by it on most staples pig
iron, coal, salt, sugar, wool, paper, etc are
lower than the duties levied bv the Calhoun-
ijowndes tariff of 181(, which were imposed
lor revenue, witn but slight regard to proteo
tion. we think tne present Congress erred
in reducing many rates of dutv. esDeciallv
those on pig iron and sugar. Still, we are
content with the tariff as it is. as a whole
willing to abide by it as better than anything
likely to be substituted for it. Should it be
overthrown, we trust it will give place to one
founded on the opposite principle and in per
fect consistency with the doctrine of free
trade. Then the people, ha vine niven each
principle a fair trial, will be enabled to judge
intelligently between them.
'Xne one great mistake of Mr. Clay a career
was the Tariff Compromise of 18:$:!. Had he
then said, "The country has just reohosen
General Jackson its President. His party has
a decided majority in either House. Let that
majority frame and pass just such a tariff as
it deems best; and, if it does not work well,
the country knows how to get rid of it we
should, in the election of lS.'ifi, have pre
cluded years of disaster and suffering. By his
compromise our manufacturing and mining
interests purchased a transient reprieve, at a
heavy cost to the country and themselves.
We trust that mistake may never be repeated.
The World, indeed, says:
'Seeirg that protection was in dancer. Mr. Olav
aoted like a prudent navigator in a storm, and
threw over a part of the cargo to save tke ship."
It seems to us that ho threw over the ship.
and only saved a part of the cargo for a little
wniie.
The World adds;
By that bill, the tariff was brought down to the
revenue standard by a series of successive reduc
tions, extending ovfer nlns years."
Yes; and when we, at the end of nine
years, bad got down to "the revenue stand
ard, we bad neither revenue nor credit, and
had to go back to protection to reclaim them.
Wny not state that i
'lne World now talks of not being "willing
to bring sudden ruin on any great interest."
If there be any "great interest" anxious to
be ruined a little more deliberately, let it
apply at the World office. But we have heard
enough of this kind of mercy. We ask the
free-traders to submit to the next Congress a
tariff bill which aooords exactly and in all
respects with their principles and convic
tions; and, if the trimmers and twaddlers,
who believe in nothing but the offices they
hold or are trying to seeure, undertake to
supplant this by one that is "neither fish,
flesh, nor J good red herring," we are quite
confident that they will be defeated.
"Does protection protect?" asks one of the
least scrupulous manipulators of facts and
figures for the Free-trade League. Protec
tionists think that question answers itself.
We beg to propose as next in order "Do
free-traders want free trade?" If they do,
let them act and vote accordingly. They
certainly will nat secure what they want by
going instead lor sometmng else.
THE "REVENUE REFORMERS" RISE
OF A GREAT PART.
From tht T. r. titraAi.
There was something more fthan a dinner
in the meeting of the free-traders at Del
monico's on Monday evening. Mr. Bryant
represented the old free-trade Democratic
party, and was probably impatient at the
limitations imposed upon him by the younger
followers, who strain at free-trade pure and
Eiinpie but yearn ior wnat they call "reve
line reform. ith Mr. Bryant free-trade is
what the doctors would call a specific or a
sure medicine. He has been debating its
virtues, its restorative and health giving
qualities for fifty years, and now stands like
Mtises when be looked npon the promised
land which ke was to see while others would
occupy. The young men from the Wet are
the true leaders. As Scott and Wool aud
Harney were crowded to one Bide by sturdier
and more active generals like Grant and Sher
man and Sheridan in our civil war, so younger
men, likeWhite and Grosvenor, have taken
the place of Bryant and Marshall.
The first point we see in this new aa 1
grave discussion is tne absence of any re
cruits in the army of protection. Mr. White
quaintly and truly expressed this weakness
when be professed nis ignorance or any
knowledge of Mr. Greeley's trinity of pro
tective deities Forward and Mallory and
Snyder. When a cause must needs find its
representatives in men dead and burled a
half century ago it is weak indeed. The
trouble with Mr. Greeley is that, as a politi
cian, he too frequently lives in the era of
1820. lie became a protectionist when a
boy up in one of the Whig oonnties of a
Yankee State, and he has never ohanged his
mind, as, indeed, he has never changed his
mind on any question. Failing to win new
followers, nothing is left to the protec
tionists but to invoke dead memories and
rake up the objects of adoration in the bones
and ashes of the past. Who cares for Simon
Snider now ? The old Pennsylvania Gover
nor has gone to peace, and is probably by
this time an oxydized iron formation in soma
iron county of the Keystone State. Who
cares for Henry Clay ? We might as well
seriously quote his opinions ou internal im
provements, the war with Greece, or the re
moval of the bank deposits, as to regird him
with patience on a question like revenue re
form. These men are the remnants of a
palaeozoic age, and we may say of them, as
Coleridge of the good knight:
Their swords are rnst,
Their bodies are dust,
And their souls are now with Christ, we trust.
In the famous comedy of Itip Van Wlnlde
the old man, with rheuaiatio joints and white
flowing hair, and trembling limbs and rheumy
eyes, stalks down among the villagers and
seeks some familiar face. "Does anybody
here know Dick Vedder or Jacob Stein ?"
"Why, they are dead twenty years." And he
goes on to ask, if they are dead who is he
and why is he alive ? This is very much the
position of Mr. Greeley as he wanders through
the Tribune from day to day asking if any
body has heard of Forward and Mallory and
Snyder. The men and the times have changed.
We have a new Noith and a new South. The
business interests of the Northern States flood
new channels. The South is ia the hands of
a new people. In other days the industrial
people of the South had no interest in the de
velopment of the country. They were bought
and sold at so much a head. They were
simply so much property, like so many oxen
or horses or sheep. With them life was only
hog and hominy and molasses. Whether
trade was poor or thriving, whether crops
were full or barren, whether there were rail
roads or canals or industries, was of no
value. But now they live and think. The
negro has an interost in every ounce of tea,
every pound of sugar and tobacco. It re
presents his own industry, and he must
guard and hoard it if he would prosper.
To the South, therefore, questions of taxa
tion and impost and revenue are vital and
immediate.
In the Webt the people need cheap iron,
lumber and coal. Next to salt and air iron is
of more necessity to modern civilization, to
the comfort and happiness of mankind, than
any substance known in science. The price
of iron affects us as much as the price of
wheat or corn. Cheap iron means cheapness,
in transportation, in household furniture, in
agriculture. Every new country needs cheap
iron. One railway in Indiana and Kansas is
of more value to the country a larger con
tribution to its wealth and prosperity than
twenty iron mills in Pennsylvania. So a tax
npon pig-iron, while
aiding
a few iron-
masters, is virtually a tax upon every bushel
of wheat upon the labor of every farmer in
tne west, ine argument tnat tne labor oi
the men who make the iron is protected
that without protecton the mill would stop
and they starve is absurd; for if they cannot
puddle iron ore at small wages in unnealtny
mills, they have only to go into the cheap
Western counties and till the ground. For
this reason the revenue reformers, in de
manding cheap iron, strike a chord to whioh
the Western Territories and States will
respond.
Another strong point in this new platform is
the removal of the tax npon wool and lumber
and coal. Why should wool be taxed ? This
article enters into the economy of our daily
existence bo absolutely that every penny put
upon it is a tax npon every laboring man who
wears a woollen coat, or who buys his wife a
woollen dress. Is it not of more importance
that the millions of poor laboring men should
have cheap clothing than that we should have
large herds ofsheep, especially as in the pro
gress of national growth, agriculture will pro
tect its own sheep growth? The tax upon
lumber is virtually an embargo upan our ship
ping and a hindrance to the social develop
inent of our new civilization. Lumber is scant
enough in many parts of America. If a
farmer builds a house at the base ef the
Rocky Mountains, he must bring his lumber
from Chicago, la that item alone transpor
tation is a grievous tax, aad when to
this we add a protective impost we put
upon the farmer a heavy burden. A me
rica wants cheap lumber for the sea, just
as she wants cheap iron for the land,
Onr shipping is dead, from the sheer
inability of our capitalists to build ships ia
competition with the builders on tke Clyde.
While conoeding these salutary reforms
these revenue reformers halt. Now, true
revenue reform should go deeper into this
question of removing taxes. We look in
vain through the speeches of the eloquent
speakers at Delmonico's to find any sugges
tion for the removal of taxation from tea and
sugar and coffee. We are asked to look at
the English tariff as an ideal tariff. Well,
the English tariff, we believe, is levied upon
nine articles spirits and wine, tea and
coffte, sugar and tobaooo, currants, raisins,
and chicory. Of these articles, tea, coffee,
and sugar pay thirty millions annually, or
more than one-third of the whole revenue.
Now, if the revenue reformers mean
to popularize their cause, if they
mean to -take hold of the people, let
them add to their platform what the humblest
and poorest can understand, and remove tax
ation from articles which are necessaries of
life. The true theoiy of all taxation ia te
put the burdens upon the shoulders that can
bear them. John Bright recently called upon
England to give her labeling men a
breakfast table." He proposed to do
it by
abolishing the impost npon the tea, coffee,
and sugar whioh form a part of the breakfast
of the poorest. This is true, high demooratio
ground. Our friends must not be content
with free iron, lumber, wool, and coal. A tax
upon these does not begin to fall npoa the
workingman as heavily as one cent a pound
upon tea or coffee or sugar, and the true
reform ia that whioh makes the necessities of
life as cheap as possible.
Still, witL! all its faults and oondities, this
is a great party, with many noble possibilities
and a splendid work before it. Nor must
our politicians overlook its importance, nor
the necessity of conceding to the West and
the South what they will surely demand. We
do not think that there is enough in the
strength of the party to embarrass the polit
cal canvass of 1872. That will be fought
urcu clean and square political lines. The
revenue reformers in both parties will,
as a body, prefer to remain with their organi
sations than to risk defeat by secession in a
Presidential year. The issues will grow
clearer by discussion and argument, the true
principles will be found, the people will know
what they really want and what they oan
really obtain, and by 1876 the oaus will be
ripe enough for trial and decision by the
people at their supreme Ligh court of a Pre
sidential canvass.
ALABAMA REDEEMED.
Frnm t Montgomery Advertiirr.
It is first with feelings of profopnd grati
tude to a wise Providence, and next with a
sentiment of sincere admiration for the
dauntless courage aud enduring fortitude of
of our people through years of defeat and de
pression, that we tender thein onr warmest
congratulations on tho triumph they have
achieved in this State. It was their ciusa aud
it is thtir viotory. The struggle whioh has
just cloEed in the success of ttie Democratic
Conservative party should not bo compired
Viith ordinary political contests, actually in
volving, as it has done, considerations vital
to the constitution of society itself, to law,
to liberty, and to religion. The
supremely wicked effort of tho radio l
Congress to practically denationalize the
native white population of the South has
been defeated in Alabama; and this was the
intense and absorbing issue determined in
our favor by the recent election. On yester
day tho people ruling AKbama were the vioa
rious representatives of a radical caucus at
Washington; a tew creation fashioned by the
hands of Congress within thepast four years,
and imposed on the State for purposes alien
to her honor and truo interests, and by
which it was designed to substitute the old
population, first in a political afterwards
in a material sense by a radical
brood of mixed and inferior charaoter.
To-day the native white race have
recovered their inheritance; once again have
a right to the possession of their Govern
ment; once ogain are clothed with tho power
to make and administer the laws; once agiin
are the real masters of the soil they cultivate;
and once again stand in their corporate per
sonality freed from all badges of inferiority
resting upon them, and the equal and peer of
any other people in the whole country.
They are no longer to ba governed they are
once more to govern. They will no lnger
visit their (Jupitol as strangers in a stranqe
land, but will go there to enter its Execu
tive and Legislative Chambers, the
legitimate owners of the seats of authority,
and to shepo the policy of tho State. The
men whom the radic.il party leaders have sj
mercilessly and vindictively sought to make
the slaves of their dnorganiamg and degrad
ing power have permanently emanoipatad
themselves. For this we return our grateful
thanks to God, and for this we desire to ex
press our sinoere respect for the resolution,
trusting patience, and sustained devotion of
our countrymen.
We learn from the accomplished olhoor
in command of the l ederal troops in the
State, General Crawford, that in the whole
course of his experience ho has never known
a more peaceful election. There was not a
single instance of violence, so far as is known
to us, in any part of the commonwealth. As
a matter of course, tnere were many fraudu
lent votes cast, but the Democrats Buffered
these to pass rather than to provoko or ex
cuse the employment of force or to afford an
opportunity for disorders around the polls.
The result in onr peculiar situation has vindi
cated their wisdom in this particular, but it
must not bo supposed that such forbearance
will everegnin be exhibited.
In the presence of our grand triumph we
have not one vindictive or proscriptive
thought. While the contest was in progress
and the event of our deliverance doubtful;
wLile the right of our friends and fellow
citizens and the honor and life of Alabama
hung suspended upon tho issue, we felt our
blood boiling in our veins with fierce and
passionate emotions; but we hope that w
feel as tne great body or our citizens now
fee, too manly and maguanimous to be in
fluenced by any mean and paltry passions.
The duties and obligation of government
are a high and holy trust confided to our
keeping for the welfare of the Commonwealth,
and it is not the oppression or punishment of
any, but the good of all, to which it becomes
us in "our high qualities as a race of Southern
men to look. We will purge the Government
of foreign and impure elements, but there
t-hall be law and peace and tolerance in Ala
bama. To those colored citizens who voted the
Democratic ticket in the midst of the almost
irresistible pressure brought to bear upon
them to divert them from the protective
alliance of their old friends and guardians,
we wish to give the assurance that not only
their rights and best interests, but those of
their race, without exception, will be scrupu
lously respected by the Democratic and con
servative party. It is the genius of Demo
cracy to be liberal and generous, while always
at the same time rational and just.
In oonclubion, it is a source of natural
pride and gratification to us that the seeds
which were sown nearly three years ago at
the Exchange Hotel Conference in this city
have borne their fruitful and noble harvest.
In the dark and perilous days when that
patriotic as.emblage was debating the line of
polioy which has since constituted the basis
of Democratic organization in the State, the
Advertiser raised tiie flag of the National De
mocracy, since covering that organiza
tion, aad which now waves over our
triumphant party in Alabama. It is
the same flag that floats over the National
Democracy in all parts of the United States,
and whose folds gleam with the light of vic
tory lately achieved in New York, Pennsyl
vania, and Indiama, and which k destined
two years hence to stream in its starry splen
dors from the dome of the Capitol at Wash
ington. The work that we then sketched in
our hopes, and have sinoe sought so persist
ently to ascomplibb, is bow consummated.
To onr comrades (except three who have
maiked themselves with the curse of apos
tacy) in the prosecution of that work all
praise is due. Some like 'the wise and faith
ful Fitzpatrick, have gone to their honored
rest. Others still live to eajoy, as we hope,
all the honors of politioal elevation in the
future, and all the blessings of worldly proa,
perity. They have labored long and un
selfishly in a cause oftentimes shadowed with
gloom and despair, and they deserve their
reward. Fini corona opus.
