"TIIE NEW DEPARTURE."
From the A. I. Nation.
Republicans of all shades of opinion have
for a good while been urging on the Demo
crats the propriety and expediency of accept
ing ."accomplished faots" that is, of formally
acknowledging in the public utterances of the
party that the war and the amendments to the
Constitution adopted since the war had Bet
tied certain questions beyond further dispute
or cavil.
These questions are the non-existence of
the constitutional rights of seoession, the
' abolition and perpetual prohibition of
slavery, and the equality of all men before
the law. Republicans have furthermore
urged on them the propriety of acknowledg
ing the validity of the public debt, and the
duty of the cation to discharge it in coin,
according to the terms of the contract, and
in accordance with the good old Democratic
doctrine that there was no money known to
the Government of the United States eioept
hard money.
For six years the Demoorats have reso
lutely refused to do any of these things.
They have enoouraged the South in the
belief that the war hud settled nothing exoept
, the momentary superiority of the North in
strength. They have denied the validity o
the three amendments which put into legal
form the de facto changes effected by the war
in the status of ft certain class of citizens,
and provided fresh securities against unequal
or discriminating legislation; and tuey
have persisted in denying the validity
of the assnrances given . by . the Govern
ment in the hour of its extremity to the per
sons from whom it borrowed money as to the
amounts they would receive in repayment
or, in other words, have stoutly maintained
that if one borrows money when his credit is
very low, he may, afterwards, honestly repay
it as if his credit had been very good when
borrowed, no matter what the terms of his
contract wore a doctrine for which it would
be difficult to claim any higher source thaa
the mock-auction shop or the faro-bank.
They have fought through two Presi
dential campaigns on this policy of negation,
and have failed miserably in both. They could
not get the country to acknowledge that
nothing was changed by the war, and that
the one business of sensible men was to get
baGk as fast as possible to the point from
which we started in 18G1. What has nude
their persistence all the more extraordinary
was the plainness with which the Republicans
were profiting by it. There has rarely been a
party in power which, since 1865, has offered
so many tempting points of attack to an
able and energetio opposition as the Republi
can party. Its legislation for the South, and
its financial and foreign policy, although, per
haps,far better than the Democrats would have
furnished in its plaoe, and as good as we had
any right to expect, were nevertheless fall of
imperfections of the grossest and most glar
ing kind, out of which an opposition whioa
was as numerically strong in the country as
the Demooratio opposition was, might have
made formidable use. The results of recon
struction legislation at the South have been
pitiable; the manipulation of the Supreme
Court has been shameful; the debauohery of
the civil service debauchery continued, too,
mofct barefacedly in the teeth of strong pro
fessions of zeal for reform has been flagrant,
and all three have apparently afforded
materials for an overwhelming Demo
cratic victory; and yet the Democrats
have made nothing out Of them whatever.
The address of their members of Congress, at
the close of the last seiwion, read not like thu
indictment of eager and triumphant acouners,
as it might have been made to read, but like
the abject apology of men who have failed
miserably, and da not exactly know why. In
fact, read in the light of the accounts of the
Democrats given ,by the leading Republican
papers, there was something very amusing
about it. Acoording to these papers, the De
mooratio chiefs were brigands of enor
mous stature, of inexhaustible re
sources, reckless courage, and fe
rooions and implacable temper ; the
address, however, sounded like a plea for con
sideration, or for some cold victuals and old
clothes, from a parcel of puny little con
scripts who had made an attempt to storm a
great stronghold, and gave it up beoause the
villains inside fired at them. A considerable
portion of the party, headed by Mr. Vallan
digham, seem to have learned wisdom at last,
and propose to surrender all" the principal
points in their former creed, and to begin
their opposition to tne party in poer
on a new line; to do, in faot, what the
Republicans have been long wanting them
to do, and abusing them for not doing;
that is, accept the situation as settled by the
war, and offer the country some reasons for
supporting them which have no direct con
nection with the war. They offer, in snort.
to do what the Republican party his been
doing maintain the results of the war, and to
do something which the llepubliaan party hiu
thus far neglected or failed to do correct
and restrain the evils growing out of the war,
They offer, for instance, while adhering to
the three new constitutional amendments, to
oppose the dangerous tendency which the
Republican party has for some time
been manifesting to treat the amendments as
having practically abrogated the whole Con
stitution; or, in otner woras, as Having con
stituted the majority of both houses as
supreme judges of what is or what is not
constitutional. They oner to treat the re
construction measures as finalities; thtt is.
to put the Southern States on a footing of
equality with the Northwrn States, and pvit
further interference with their affairs on ex
actly the same level with interference in the
affairs of New York or Massachusetts. Taey
call for universal amnesty, and while they
denounce lawlessness ou the part of mobs, they
also denounce that disregard of law on the pirt
of the Legislature which is displayed in such
measures as the Ku-klux act, which not only
disregards the supreme law of the land, but
creates an officer unknown to tne law, viz., a
dictator. They cull, too, for a revenue tariff,
or, in other words, for the cessation of wh U
is perhaps the most prolifio source of corrup
tion, the attempt to proteot native industry
by means of taxation. Rut instead of calling
for reform in the civil service, they propose
to take the work of oolleoiing the Federal
revenues from oue set of rasoals, the t e leral
employes, and band it over to another set of
rascals, the State employes; and they ask
Btill to have the Government debts paid in
greenbacks that is, one promise to pay sub
stituted for another.
Now, though this programme, which flrt
made its. appearance under ValUudighaui's
auspioes at Dayton, has siuee been 4opt I
by the State Conventions in Ohio and Ten
nessee, and though there is every sign that
it will make way enough with the Democracy
at large to have a fair ohanoeof adoption at
the 1'reBidential Convention next year, it
will need an nnoommonlv strong ' candidate.
stronger than the Democracy is liaeiy to
adopt, to give it any great weight with the
country, owing in the main to the general
want of faith in the honesty and good sense
of the men who, in case of a Democratic vic
tory, would be sure to manage the administra
tion at Washington.
But however little value it may have as a
platform, it . has a great deal cf value as a
Bign of the times. Whatever else it may be
or ruftv not be. this it is: a bid for the sup
port of that large body of Republicans who
are very 6icn 01 Kepnoiican aomgs, ana wno
lore for a decent excuse for trying notn new
measures and new men. It is impossible to
overlook oertain facts: 1. That during the
present Administration nothing whatever has
been done until now to reiorm tne civil
service, in spite of the loud and oft
repeated promises on the ' subject.
2. That a ereat blow has been struck
at the purity, independence, and usefulness
of the Snpreme Conrt and of all courts, by
packing the court to prooure a euaaen rever
sal of a carefnllv considered decision. 8.
That so far from any steps having been taken
towards a return to specie paymeuts, this
packing of the eourt was resorted to with the
direct purpose of getting a judgment which
made a return to specie payments more diffi
cult and uncertain than ever, and this pack-
iva has been formally and publicly justified
by the Secretary of the Treasury. 4. That
no serious attempt nas Deen maae to re
form the revenue, or infuse order or method
into the tariff, which is now in a state of as
ereat confusion as it was four years- ago; and
that, so far as we know anything of the mind
of the party, it is occupied rather with the
discovery of tne means of avoiding the ques
tion altogether tnan of dealing with it
honestly and fairly. 5. That the time and
attention of the administration during four
years have been mainly oocupied with the
project ot annexing a semi-barbarous island
occupied by a turbulent population unused
to civil government, and that it was
never so intent on this scheme as at the
moment when Congress ' was appointing
the President a dictator as a possible substitute
for regular civil government in half the
Union. The one positive step in the history
of the Republican party that can be urged as
a set-off to all this is the conclusion of the
treaty with England, the value and impor
tance of which we have no wish to underrate;
but it is well to oonsider whether a year
hence people will be disposed to regard this
one piece of foreign policy a compensation
for the almost total neglect or internal re
forms. nOMtEOPATHY.
From the A 1". Tribune.
The National Institute of Homoeopathy is
now holding its twenty-eighth anniversary in
Philadelphia. The statement made by this
powerful body of the progress of the homoe
opathic science is most gratifying to those
who believe in it. The Institute, founded
about a quarter of a century ago in this city,
did not then number twenty-five members
all told. Now, they have over 10,000 repu
table physicians and surgeons in this country
and Canada, with numerous colleges, dispen
saries, hospitals, and asylums, all supported
by individual effort. Our friends oonsumed
a good deal of their time in grumbling
that individual effort was left to do every
thing for them. They not only are still
refused all Government and State aid in
actual funds, but have been most cruelly and
unfairly snubbed since their birth as a medi
cal body by the Government. No homoeopa
thic Burgeons were allowed to enter the army
except as privates, and consequently the
wounded soldier was forced to aocept allo
pathio boluses and lancets whether he had
faith in them or not. In applying for a pen
sion, too, he was obliged Eto submit to the
decision of the old-school praotitioner. These
were grievances sore enough at the time, no
doubt, but we should think hardly worth
resurrection or bemoaning now.
lheir othejr complaints that Congress yet
refuses to reoognize their right to practice in
the District, or to admit them into any inedi
cal offices in its gitt have more force and per
tinence. Persecution, either of injustice or
ridicule, may nave been beneficial to our
medical brethren in giving them zeaL persist
ence, and the cohesion of a oertain etrprit de
corps, whioh otherwise they would never pro
bably have had; but they seem now to prefer
that their virtues should arise from some
other cause. The blood of the martyrs is
very likely the seed of the Church,
but in this case the martyrs evidently
think they have had enough of
it. The great Btrnggle of the present is,
they tell us, "between the spirit' of progres
sive medicine on the one hand and conser
vatism on the other." They do not see, ap
parently, that in this identical decent garb of
conservatism, the unyielding etiquette, the
grave decorum or the allopathists, lie their
chief strength and secret of popularity. A
man will allow any other man to be a radical
but bis doctor. He is quite willing that
pbysioians in Edinburgh or Timbuotoo
should try experiments, but he will have no
tentative tinkering with his own lungs or
liver. That the old school of practice is
over-suspicious and tyrannical in exoluding
quackery, is their ohief recommendation in the
eyes of their disciples. If our homceopathio
mends belonged to that class whom Uaw
thorne calls "the unfortunates that oan see
the other Bide of the question, they would
perceive that this aristocratic intolerance be
longs to and is not an ill-fitting garment for
anv man or- Beet whose suocess is sure and
surely founded on a just basis. We see, in
fact, side by side with their protests against
the exclusivenesa of their 6nemy, significant
bints that in their own well-to-do middle age
they are not indisposed to imitate it. They
wish to "raise their standard of medioal edu
cation, to admit only the beat-qualified phy
siciaus to their rnks, and urgently condemn
all irregular practice; by which last move
incut thev will cut off an offensive member.
but an exceedingly strong one. The idea that
any woman with a pamphlet and morocco box
of pellets in her pocket could go about amaog
her neighbors a second Abernethy, was one
cause of tbe swift, triumphant popularity of
their system. , They show the wisdom of
strength and age in resolving to do away
with it.
They do not, however, show the wisdim of
either the one or the other in the attaok
made upon tke pulpit in their annual ad
dress. A cooler judgment will, we think,
convince them it was out of place, and, to
rise the mildest censure, in exceptionally bad
taste. Men of scieoee and men of theology
may be at war as they state, but soienoe and
religion are not; and even if they were, we
con not see what a system whioh deals with
antidotal pellets and the digestive organs has
to do with tbe doctrine of lh9 creation and
atonement. It was, too, an impolitio move,
TLere Las been an odd prejudioe for years
aiapnjj ihe conservative masses which tuado
long hair, abolitionism, homoeopathy, and
looseness in tne marriage relation, synony
mous witn atneism. Abolitionists, by strlotly
attending to their own business, have at last
cleared their reputation oi all taint of free
love, irreligion, or uncombed looks. Our
homceopathio friends would do well to imi
tate so prudent an example.
COMBINATION VS. COMPETITION.
From the f. T. World.
Tbe radical artificiality of our present in
dustrial prosperity is in nothing so apparent
as in the persistent efforts of almost every
branch of industry to proteot itself not alone
against foreign competition by means of
tariffs, but also against domestic competition
by means of combination. Within the last
few months we have noticed in this city, in
Philadelphia, and in Tittsburg, Pa., conven
tions of manufacturers of pig-iron, iron plates.
, nails, copper, glass, and paper, not to speak
of tne coai-mine owners, an neid for the pur
pose of devising remedies against overpro
duction and against the decline in prioes
inevitably resulting from continued competi
tion; and within a day or two there has been
further held in this city a convention of the
bar-iron manufacturers of the Atlantio
States, who have formed "The Eastern Iron
masters Association for the purpose of
preventing "depression of business and looal
jealousies" by means of "concerted action."
Now, what do all these conventions and
associations mean ? They mean that the pro
moters and members thereof believe they can
defy tbe laws of trade and the laws of com
mon sense, and can continue to fleece the
publio in the future as they have done in the
past, without mercy and without justioe.
They mean that the tariff swindle has enabled
them to charge tbe community more than a
reasonable profit on their goods; that the un
reasonable profit has induced more men and
more capital to enter these protected indus
tries than can find remunerative employment
in them; that their unreasonable profits have
bo impoverished tbe community as to disable
it from consuming even the former limited
production, much less the present increased
production; and that all these proteoted in
dustries are now in a position of semi-bankruptcy,
against which they try to protect
inemseives dj signing pieages not to sen
their goods below certain prices, so that
tbey may still make a profit on their limited
sales. . , .
If it were supposable that these men could
accomplish the object they have in view.
their combinations and conventions would
require the most energetio efforts on the
part of the publio to defeat and destroy them.
Hut their plans can have no permanent in
fluence, and hence would only be worthy of
publio contempt or indifference did they not
furnish such an admirable illustration of the
inevitable results to whioh the praotioe of
protection leads, did they not clearly prove
to what straits these protected industiies are
driven, did tbey not distinctly forshadow the
desperate efforts these Radical monopolists
will make to maintain their present tariff
protection, and, if possible, still farther in
crease it. The whole Radical party is to-day
sustained by the influence of corrupt leaders
who have secured their own election or that
of their friends and tools for the sole purpose
of perpetuating and strengthening the pre
sent tariff scheme, which is, in plain words,
tbe most digantio scheme of robbery ever
invented by man.
Stripped of all disguises, rubbed clean of
all "circumambient foam," the tariff is a law
by which the price of a foreign article ia in
tended to be artificially advanoed, so as to
enable the domestio producer of a similar
article to obtain from the domestio consumer
a precisely similar advance in price. All the
talks about protecting domestio industry,
about elevating domestio labor, about
creating home markets, are either ignorant
delusions or wilful false pretences mainly
tbe latter. The objeot of high-tariff men,
the men who, as iron-smelters and rolling-mill
owners and salt-makers and cotton-spinners,
get themselves elected to Congress, and put on
committees of ways and means, and commit
tees of commerce and manufactures, or wno
spend winters in Washington lobbying aU
day and half the night these men have no
other object than to be enabled by law to
charge the domestio consumer more for their
products than they could get without the law.
Befog it as you please, that and none other is
the practical object of all protective tariff
legislation. Disguise it, deny it, twist it,
ramify it as you please, no man ever went to
Congress to aet an increased duty on any
imported article except for the purpose of
being enabled to charge every domestio con
sumer just so much more for his own similar
domestio product.
Now, as long as the demand keeps paoe
with the production, these proteoted indi
viduals do succeed in getting this extra prioe,
do succeed in plundering their fellow-citizens
just bo many dollars a ton, or so many cents
a yard, under color or law. But the moment
the demand is no longer equal to the supply,
either because the profits of the business
have tempted too many to embark in it or
because the plundered and impoverished
people are no longer able to pay, even then
the tariff will not enable the manufacturers
to keep up the price. They begin to com
pete with one another; the natural conse
quence of competition is lower prioes. The
lower prices benefit the people, but of course
they are not relished by the proteoted manu
facturers. They have become so aooustomed
to large profits, guaranteed to them by law at
tbe expense of the community, that they have
come to believe that they have a vested right
to put their hands in the pooketa of the
people. And when they find that the tariff
no longer enables them to do so, they meet
and combine and agree and pledge themselves
to Btill help one another to keep up the old
swindle.
Foreign competition is the policeman the
mere fear of whom prevents the domestio
manufacturer from overcharging his customer.
Against that policeman the manufacturers
protect themselves by the tariff. They then
Lave the victim entirely at their mercy. But
now they are in danger of quarrelling among
themselves about the division of the plunder.
The strong ones want it all for themselves,
and won't let the little fellows share. But
tbe little fellows are smart, and cry out, "If
you do not let me share I shall call the polioe
man!" In other words, at two of the reoent
conventions in this city the larger manufac
turers were foroed into the combination by
the threat of the smaller ones to declare for
free trade.
But free competition is not only the police
man who prevents the manufacturer from
plundering the public; it is also the great
stimulus to economy, skill, invention, and
progress of every kind. We are assured by
competent authority mat in many respects
our iron manufacture is to-day more clumsy
and wasteful and expensive than it was ten
years ago, because large profits have made
the manufacturers careless and indifferent;
and we are furthermore assured that many
manufacturers are really losing money au4
far from prosperous. We do not doubt it
at alL Even in unprotected industries there
is complaint of bard times. But surely the
proteoted industries have never been pro
mised that they should be guaranteed against
loss. They certainly are least entitled to it,
because tbey have wilfully shut themselves
out from the only influence whioh could make
them permanently prosperous free competi
tion." When the iron manufacturers find it
impossible to keep the members of their as
sociation to the pledges they have signed, let
them join hands with the free-traders and
abolish protection, and they will find their
industries revive as if by magic They will
find that instead of running away from the
policeman of foreign competition, and hid
ing then? iniquitous schemes behind the
tariff, tbey will be glad to welcome him as a
friend and adviser, they will be able to look
honest men squarely in the faoe, and will
have no need to meet in secret conclave and
bold mysterious conventions like conspira
tors plotting against the publio welfare.
THE QUININE SWINDLE.
From the N. Y. World.
'Before our present tariff went into effect a com-
pany organized by Pelletler. a French chemist, lost
$To,ooo in vainly trying to establish a factory for the
production of the drug in this country. Bat lc is
now made here cf sunerlor quality, and furnished to
the American people at less than it wou'd have coat
mem naa iney remained dependent ou foreign mar-
aei.' urwune.
M. Pelletier, the greatest quinine manu
facturer in France, or in the world, came here
about 1857 to manufacture quinine. lie
bought some property up town and com
menced to manufacture the drug. The duty
at that time was 15 per cent., and the prioe
z. Messrs. rowers & Weigbtman and Rosen-
garten & Sons combined against him. as the
Frenchman refused no doubt to join them in
perfecting the home industry by keeping the
price up, and during the year 1858 the price
of quinine was down to $123 and daring
loitv to $i'zu per ounce.
The objeot was to drive the Frenchman
away, and this was the more easily done that
M. Pelletier made quinine only, while they
manufactured all kinds of drugs. About the
year 18G0 or 18G1 M. Pelletier was offered
about four times as much for bis up-town
property as he had paid for it four years
before. lie sold it, and left Rosengarten and
Powers & Weightman to continue
to produce quinine at the cheap rate of $120
per ounce. Uut no sooner was the French
man gone than the aforesaid monopolists
raised their price on the drug, and through
influences best known to themselves had
the duty raised ' three times in three years,
iuub:
April, 18G1, from 15 per cent, to 20 per
cent.
August, 1801, from 20 per cent to 30 per
cent.
July 14, 18G3, from 30 per cent, to 45 per
cent.
So much for the history of M. Pelletier's
endeavors to mannfactnre quinine in New
York, and refusing to league with the Tri
bune tand its monopolists against the fever-
sick population of the United States.
And now we come down to faots and fig
ures that have taken plaoe within a year,
namely:
In June, 1870, a year ago, quinine was sold
in New York by the two monopolists for
$220 per ounce. At that time there was a
duty of 20 per cent, on the bark of which it
is made.
On the 1st of January, 1871, the duty on
the bark came on, yet Messrs. Powers it
Weightman and Rosengarten & Sons raised
the price en quinine 15 cents per ounoe, at
which it sells now, viz., $ 2,35, for M. Pel
letier's factory was Btopped by the German
war.
WTby was the price raised 15 cents per
ounce and why was it not lowered 15 cents
per ounce when the raw material was made
free ? Do these facts and figures not show
how entirely we are at the mercy of mono
poly? Said Mr. Wells at Chicago:
Suppose Mr. William D. Kelley, who managed
that quinine buslneiis in the House, had gone to
work In an honest, straightforward way, instead of
fixing It up to tbe profit ot his constituents in Phila
delphia. Supposed he had proposed tbe form of a
bill granting bo much bounty to these constituents-
nave you any idea now sucn a Din would real? 1
think I can give you tbe form of It: Be It enacted
by tbe Senate and House of Representatives. In
Congress assembled, That In order to establish Jus
tice you mast nave mat in, tor it aounas gooa, you
know to promote the general welfare that will
take well with the people and to protect American
Industry, and especially the Industry of manu
facturing quinine that tbe Secretary of the
Treasury be empowered to pay from
any moneys of the Treasury, not otherwise
appropriated, tlSO.OOO to Powers & Weightman aad
Kosengarten fc Sons, on condition that they will
ctiarge theAmerican people for quinine not more than
twtnty cents an ounce more than It can be pur
chased for anywhere else. Do you suppose that any
Representative would dare to veto for such a bill?
Do you suppose that any member of Congress would
dare go home and face his constituents after having
voted for such a bill? They have a saying down
Kast where they used to build ships, bat do not
now when anything untoward happened, that there
was the devil to pay, and there was no pitch hot:
but I tell yon, gentlemen, that if any member of
Congress voted for such a bill as that, when he came
home to his constituesta be would had not only the
devil to pay, but that tue pitch was hot and feathers
ail reaay. (Applause ana laugnter-r
