ARE THE TARIFFS OF OTHER
COUNTRIES PROTECTIVE?
The British Free Trade League of New
York city, and their Revenue Reform dis
ciples now in Washington, are laboring to
make Congress believe that "the United
States is the only country that retains a
tariff for protection." Now what are the
facts ? Simply that there is not a com
mercial and manufacturing nation on the
thee of the globe that does not maintain a
system of protection to home industries,
and mainly through a tariff tax upon im
portations from other countries. England
is the nearest approximation to the free
trade doctrine, but England protects her
self by a tariff. Three foreign articles—
tobacco, spirits and sugar—are taxed to
the average extent of 882,000,000 per an
num. And what of other European pow
ers ? They are invariably protected by a
tariff. In proof of this a few cases may be
cited; and our witnesses shall be reliable
English and other authorities.
Prance. The Bradford (England) Chatn
her of Commerce, just before the French
war, declared the French tariff to lie "ex
cessive, unreasonab!e, and onerous." Count
s.l.2erarin pronounced the Anglo French
treaty to be "scarcely less prohibitory, in
fact, than the Morrill tariff" of the United
States. Why ? Because prices in Europe
are nearly uniform, and profits are small,
so that a tariff of 5 or 10 per cent. there,
would be as effective as a 25 or 50 per
cent. tariff in the United States. At pre
sent England is in an intense agony over
the proposed new protective tariff in France.
The free-trade "Cobden Club" have just is
sued a pamphlet on "The Commercial Policy
of France," in which our David A. Wells
is liberally quoted to prove that protection
has ruined the United States, and if adopt
ed, the inference is drawn that it will be
the destruction of France. But Thiers un
derstands the Englishman's game. Sir
Edward Sullivan, a member of the British
Parliament, said just before the French
war, that "The only man in France who
is at heart a free-trader, is the Emperor,"
and now he might add, "Exit Emperor."
Germany. Mr. Burn, of Manchester,
England, says in a pamphlet, that "The
German Zolverein is practically prohibito
ry of British manufactured goods." In
less than fifty years the German Zolverein
(very similar to our system of free trade
among States and a tariff on foreign goods)
brought that country up from national dis
union and poverty, and made it a united,
wealthy, and powerful nation.
Austria. The Austrian tariff is charae-
tensed by Sir L. Mallet, at a Union Meet
ing of the Chambers of Commerce as "pre
senting features of the most objectionable
character, while the duties are almost pro
laZitoiy."
Russia. On the same occasion Mr.
Behrens, President of the Chamber of
Commerce, of Bradford, England, said :
"The exportation of manufactured tissues
to Russia is practically prevented by a
scale of duties higher than any in the
world." That statement is not literally
correct, but profits on English tissues in
Russia are so much less than in the United
States, that English manufacturers find
the Russian tariff to be a greater barrier
to their exports than the tariff of the
United States.
Sweden and Spain. In the report of
'the Association of Chambers of Commerce
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
it is declared, referring to the tariff of
Sweden, that, "it has the unfortunate dis
tinction of disputing with Spain the de- I
bhtable honor of 'being the highest in the
world, the Russian only excepted."
The Peninsula is declared, by British
manufacturers to be "shut out from the
products of the looms and forges of Eng
land, by a most ridiculous tariff."
England's Own Colonies are denouncing
free-trade and following the example of
other countries, by protecting themselves
against the products of the half-paid labor
of Great Britain.
lit Australia a true protective policy has
been adopted, Sir Charles Dilke, the Great
Republican Reformer, and member of the
British Parliament, says: "Eight-elev
enths of the Legislature of Victoria, Aus
tralia, are advocates of protection by high
duties." He adds, and was himself an
eye-witness of the filet, that, "in the stores
in Australia, the wcrds, "Warranted Co
lonial Made" are placed over even import
ed wares, for, he continues, "many will
pay a higher price for a Colonial product,
confessedly not more than equal to the
foreign, such is the rage for native indus
try, and the hatred of 'the antipodean doc
trine of free-trade.' "
In , India, under British rule, there is a
strong and growing feeling among the.
English residents and the natives in favor
of protection to their own home industries,
Mr. Wilson, the English Finance Minister
of India, declared at a public meeting that
"The adoption of measures tending toward
protection was the only. means of saving
the remaining manufactures of this mag
nificent country, impoverished by tho op
posite policy."
The new Dominion of Canada has put
on an average tariff of 15 per cent., on
imported goods, even from England; and
the people, especially in the province of
Ontario, are Clamoring for a large increase
of the tariff, for the purpose of fostering
and stimulating home manufactures and
their general industries.
it is scarcely necessary to add more in
proof of the fact that the protective policy !
is, and must of necessity be, the governing
principle in all civilized Governments. Sir
Edward Sullivan, a prominent English
baronet, and an author, says : "We are
told free-trade principles are spreading.—
Why, in Russia, Austria, Belgium, Switz
erland, the ideaeven of opening their ports
and markets, and inviting competition with
their own industrial populations has never
yet been mooted." And again : "Pro
tection is as firmly drawn around all the
Illative industries of Europe and America
as it was twenty years ago, and generations
will elapse before there is any visible move
in the opposite direction."
Yet in the face of this array of evidence
free traders and revenue reformers are buz
zing aronud Congress, and whispering into
the ears of Senators and Members of the
House, "that the United States is the only
nation that maintains a tariff for protec
tion." But this comes mainly from for
eign influence, and our Senators and Re
presentatives at Washington are perfectly
aware of the fact, and govern themselves
accordingly. The spirit of protection to
native industries is becoming more thor
oughly rooted every day in the minds of
the people. Even in the West this is em
phatically the ease, where the results or,
protection are developing themselves in
mining, manufacturing, and a thousand
'branches of industry to which they have
hitherto been comparative strangers.
EDITOR
LIFE INSURANCE.
The New York Herald sounds a note of
warning in regard to banks and insurance
companies, addressing itself chiefly to sav
ing banks and life insurance companies.
It maintains that the nature of saving
banks' investments should be defined by
law that they might always be safe, and a
sufficient margin allowed for accidents to
prevent loss under any circumstances.
As to life insurance companies :
They, too, have sprung up lately like mush
rooms in a night. They are to be seen every
where is the principal business part of this
city. In some parts almost every building is
occupied by insurance offices. They own some
of the most suberb structures in the city. They
require no capital to start with, except what
is needed to fit up offices. The insured sup
ply the money from the beginning and all
along. Yet without capital to begin with,
and with the most costly and extravigant sys
tem of paid agencies, and most lavish expen
diture in buildings and salaries for numerous
employees, these institutions multiply and
flourish like tropical vegetation. For twenty
years or so the life insurance companies will
be receiving a continual stream of money from
insurers, and little, comparatively, will be paid
out ; for the mass of those insured will live
over that period. Ent, as somebody has to pay
for all the cost, including twenty, thirty or
more per cent. to agents for drumming up cus
tomers, there can be no question as to who
supply the money. Is this a healthy slate of
things? Unless the life insurance business be
capable of expansion ad infinitum on the enor
mous scale of its progress, within a few years
there must come a day when the payment will
exceed the receipts. Such unlimited expan
sion seems impossible. Will the companies
have realized and husbanded capital enough to
meet future demands? This is the question.
Then, should a great financial crisis come,
would they be in a situation to bridge over
that? These are questions which the legisla
tive bodies of.the country ought to consider,
so as to avert evils which are threatened by
the extraordinary increase of companies built
upon no other capital than that of the people
subscribing to them.
re_ A bill has been introduced into the
Lower House of the Legislature fixing the
number of Delegates, to the Constitutional
Convention, at one hundred and thirty
three, and directing that one shall be se
lected from each Representative district
and the remaining thirty-three at large.—
We suspect that this bill has been concoct
ed by some of the solicitors of the great
railroad monopolies to defeat the will of
the people. It is an easy matter to "set
up" State Conventions, so that the thirty
three, of both parties, would consist of so
licitors of the monopolists. We are oppo
sed to this l kind of chicanery. Let the
people be awake to their interests. The',
Convention should consist of at least two
hundred and thirty-two members, and four
should be elected from each Senatorial
in addition to one from each Representa
tive district.

elected in the Senate for the present Ses
sion :

a Harry White, the Senator from In

for the regulation of legal advertising, when
called up on last Thursday, by moving an
indefinite postponement. This fellow, who
'would never have been heard of outside of
the village of Indiana, had it not been
owing to the fact that newspapers are, at
times, under the necessity of making in
grates out of very indifferent timber, has
never failed to stab the press. He antag
onized and killed, a few years ago, a bill
authorizing the publication ;:of all local
laws, and now he desires to repeat the role.
Be wants to de Governor, too ! When he
assumes the duties of Chief Executive of

elected him! Will you do it ?

POSTAL TELEGRAPH,
The Postal Telegraph system is com
manding a great deal of attention now, and
finds no little favor. Cheap rates of tele
graphing are as desirable as cheap postage
rates. So far all agree. But the disagree
ment seems to be mainly in the question of
the government assuming the expense of
the purchase of the telegraph lines now
working, and of throwing the additional
patronage of appointing managers and
operators of governuient telegraphs into
the hands of the President. The expense
questson is important, but by far the most
serious is that of the additional patronage.
It has now arrived at a point in politics
when we must shorten terms or curtail pa
tronage, and the latter seems to be the pro
per course.
The following is an abstract of the main
features of a bill proposed for connecting
the telegraph with the postal service :
Section one establishes postal telegraph
offices at all post offices on telegraph lines,
and at all other post offices wherethe gross
receipts for postage are five hundred dol
lars a year, if within ten miles of existing
telegraph lines.
Section two makes the rates uniform for
equal distances, twenty-five cents between
offices not over 250 miles apart, and fifty
cents between offices over 250 miles apart
and under 500 miles; rates to be refunded
for delays or mistakes in transmission.
Section three provides for prepayment
by stamps, and fur destruction of all tele
grams within one month.
Section four fixes press rates for each one
hundred words of special dispatches at
fifty cents by night, and seventy-five cents
by day ; it also fixes the rate for press as
sociations and for private wires for news
papers.
Section six defines the duties of the
fourth Assisstant Post-master-General over
telegraph lines.
Section seven authorizes the Post-master-
General to contract for the transmission of
telegrams at the above rates with parties
who will furnish and operate the necessary
lines of telegraph.
Section eight contains provisions against
tampering with telegrams, and makes tele
grams privileged communications . as pri
vate letters.
Section nine authorizes the Post-master-
General to reduce rates in a manor there
in prescribed.
Section ten incorporates a postal tele
graph company for the performance of
postal telegraph service on behalf of the
Postmaster-General.
Section eleven and twelve authorize the
company to buy existing lines, and oblige
it to purchase all such lines, iirequired by
the owners thereof, at an appraised value.
It fixes the capital stock at an amount not
exceeding the last cost of its lines.
Section thirteen authorizes the compa
ny to open offices wherever the wants of
business may require.
Section fourteen authorizes Congress to
purchase lines at any time at an appraised
value.
Section fifteen reserves to Congress the
right to alter or amend the act
Notes from the State Capital
HARRISBURG, Jan. 25, 1872.
MR. EDITOR :—Having come to this
town on some important business, and hav
ing a little leisure time, perhaps I cannot
better employ it than in trying to post
your readers upon some of the doings of
their public servants, the members of the
Senate and House of Representatives of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania iu
General Assembly met.
What my business here is it is not ne
cessary now to tell you. I may say, how
ever, that it is connected with the passage
of an important underground railroad bill
—in short, that I am an honorary member
of the third house. Not having been pre
sent at the opening and previous sessions
of the Legislature, I can only speak of its
actions from the records; but wishing to
give a report of all its important actions, I
sall attempt a resume of its doings, as
gleaned from that excellent source.
According to law in such cases made and
provided, the two bodies met on January
2. The House, being largely Republican,
soon effected an organization. But the
Senate, being one-half Democratic—and
you know Democrats are generally disor
derly—didn't organize so much as the
House; but having gotten so far as the
election of a speaker and clerk, they pro
ceeded to business.
I am told that the first two weeks, and
part of the third week, after organization,
they spent in.discussing the probabilities
of any member now living ever having an
opportunity of seeing Rothermel's painting
of the Battle of Gettysburg. As this is
now, and always has been, a subject of
great interest, I may be pardoned if I oc
cupy a good deal of space in its ventilation.
Tradition says that at A remote period of
our history a great war waged between the
people respectively of the northern and
southern sections of the United States;
and that during that war there was a bat-'
tle fought at or near the village of Gettys
burg, in Pa. As this was the only great
battle ever fought within the limits of
Pennsylvania, the people of the State came
to consider that battle as their exclusive
property ; and their public servants afore
said. in General Assembly met, determined
to have a picture in commemoration of
that battle.
They employed a man named Rothermel
to paint the said picture. I infer his name
is Rothermel from the fact that it is al
ways spoken of as "Rothermel's Picture" ;
and, although Pennsylvania has paid him
$20,000 for it, it is as yet, to all intents
and purposes, and appears likely to remain,
Mr. Rothermei's picture. Here let me
remark, by the way, for the benefit of the
young or obscure painter or sculptor, that
for one of his craft there is no surer road
to fame, and especially to fortune, than to
get a Government contract for a first
class (?) production. Who would ever
have heard of Vinnie Ream if it had not
been for the desire of Congress to have a
statue of somebody ? And who would ever
have heard of Monsieur Voa Rothermel if
the battle of Gettysburg had never been
fought?
The said picture was painted, and most
ly paid for some years since; but the
Pennsylvania Legislature , with a magnan
imity unequalled in the annals of oil paint
ings, allowed the aforesaid Rothermel to
have the use of their picture for a few
years, that he might hawk it over the
country and make another fortune by its
exhibition. When it has become faded
and worn out by frequent removals, it is
thought likely by many members that the
thoughtful Mr. R. will.return the picture
to the gentlemen who paid for it so many
years ago ; and as it is said now to be near
ly worn out, sonic of them think it possi
ble that even during the present winter it
may come in; wherefore the long and ani
mated debate on the question, "What shall
be done with that picture ?" It wouldn't
be safe in any building now erected, or in
course of erection. inside of the State
limits; and a new fire-proof, burglar proof
and bomb-proof building must be put up
for its safe keeping. As the time draws
nearer at which to expect the elephant's
arrival, law makers become more uneasy
about a place of security for it,
The member from Philadelphia wants
to have it kept in his town, and the State
to pay $20,000 for a bow to keep it in ;
but the country members consider it un
safe to keep it so near to the sea coast, as
in case of a war with France the first thing
the French would attempt to capture and
carry to Paris would be this same picture.
The member front Pittsburgh would like
to have it kept in his town, but in case of
a war with Great Britain, and of an inva
sion from our Lake Erie border the picture
would be in still more danger, for previous
experience in wars with that nation teach
es us that they would burn the picture
instead of carrying it away.
On a vote taken last week it was finally
decided to locate the picture at Harrisburg,
in a building to be erected for the pur
pose. In case of invasion the picture will
be removed to the earthworks on the Sus
quehanna, opposite the town, where it
could be defended against any force—pro
bably.
If this much vaunted picture should ever
arrive at Harrisburg. and I should be so
fortunate as to sec it, I may then speak of
it again. _ _
February 3, 1872.
Mr. Gray, the new Senator elect from
the fourth district, arrived here and was
sworn in on the Ist inst. The Patriot
raves about the "indecent haste" evinced
by the Republicans in admitting this Sen
ator, especially when his opponent proposes
to contest his seat. The Patriot forgets
that a year ago, under very similar circum
stances, Mr. Dechert, Democrat, was ad
mitted to a seat and allowed to vote against
permitting a contest. But then he was a
democrat, and democrats may do. with
perfect impunity, what is an unpardonable
sin in a Republican. So thinks and says
the Patriot.
On Friday, of last week, the House,
without the consent and concurrence of
-the Senate, adjourned over to Wednesday,
of this week. The time of adjournment
included three working days—Saturday,
Monday and Tuesday—which is the limit
allowed by the Constitution for adjourn
ment of either House without a joint res
olution of both Houses. The paper afore
said gave notice that; whereas the House
had adjourned five days it had disobeyed
the Constition of the State, was therefore
virtually dissolved, and a new election
would be required, in every county of the
State, for the purpose of electing a new
set of members to fill the vacated seats. In
this ridiculous attack said paper was sec
onded by such mongrel sheets as the Lan
caster lidelligencer and Philadelphia in
quirer. Those papers forget that a year
ago a democratic Senate, at several tines,
adjourned for a similar length of time
without exciting a comment from the Pa
triot and virtuous major organ of the un
terrified. But the Senate was democratic
last winter, you know, and therefore it had
extra privileges.
The Phil. Press—the paper which
thought McClure ought to be elected be
cause he said he was a Republican in spirit
—complains that the bodies composing the
General Assembly of Pennsylvania, don't
work enough. They are only in session
four or five days of each week, and the
daily sessions are not generally of more
than two hours in length. This, in the
eyes of the Press, is swindling the State.
lien who draw such heavy salaries, as do
these, ought to remain in session fifteen
hours of each day and seven days of each
week ! But if they did this when would
they find time to prepare bills in commit..
tee, to send documents to their constitu
ents, to attend and reply to their numerous
correspondents, (especially to the thou
sands of requests for railroad passes), and
to attend, besides, to the manifold duties
devolvent upon professional politicians.
Those who complain of the dilatoriness of
these bodies should remember that the
most of the work done here is done outside
of the regular sessions. The bills are
prepared in committee, and in most cases
are only passed upon in regular session
without question or comment, unless errors
or wrong intent be discovered in any par
ticular bill, when discussion may ensue.
Considering the rapidity with which bills
can be passed, two hours daily is sufficient
in all conscience for the length of the ses
sion here; and the growlers should rather
devoutly thank their stars that the sessions
are no longer. TELASCO.

he Legislature known as the Ohio Liquor

Utah
SALT LAKE, January 31.—1 n the IN,
ted States Court this afternoon, Deputy
Attorney High, pursuant to instruction
from Attorney General Williams, telgraph
ed by Attorney Bates, moved that all pris
oners in custody in Utah be admitted to
bail. Chief Justice McKean delivered a
decision which receives the universal and
hearty commendation of the Liberals. He
alluded to the fact that of eleven prisoners
charged with murder, six were held in cus
tody by the city without expense to the
government, and five at Camp Douglass,
at thirty cents a day extra. Some of the
murders were committed under circumstan
ces of great mystery and atrocity, some
openly in the litre of mankind. Said the
Judge, "Were these prisoners to be turn
ed lose before trial, it would be without
precedent.. Besides there are reasons which
cannot he made public why these prisoners
should not be admitted to bail—reasons
which District Attorney Bates cannot have
communicated to Attorney General Wil
liams, and to which Mr. Bates seems quite
indiferent, Indeed, he is known by the
Court to have made another particular
serious misstatement in regard to affairs
in Utah in this judicial proceeding. I
am placed here to decide under the law all
judicial questions that shall arise in this
District Court. Were I now to shrink, Qr
swerve from a plain duty it is not improba
ble that the irresponsible magistrate call-
cdJudge Lynch would assume the scat
which I would thereby have prove:] myself
unworthy to hold. I refuse to admit the
the prisoners to bail.'
3ir Bates urged upon the Attorney gen
eral this application for the admiss.ion of
these murderers to bail ostensibly to save
expenses.
T. , 1 the House this evening the Commit
tee to express the sense of that body on the
veto of the admission bill reported a reso
lution that the statements in the Govenor's
message were unsound, false, disgusting,
and a direct insult to the peoplo of the
Territory. The resolution was 'unani
mously adopted to take the place of the ve
toed admission act.
