A meeting of the Republican County

W.N. A. WiLsoic,
AT a meeting of the committee of Ways
and Means • of the House of Representa
tives at Harrisburg on Friday last, the
Border Raid Bill was considered, and
after a stormy session, it was reported
upon favorably. Members' motives were
impugned, and insinuations thrown out
that improper influences were at work in
connection with this bill. One of the
members exclaimed excitedly that his ex
perience, though a short one, at Harrisburg
had led him to believe that with $50,000
he could pass an act repealing the ten
commandments and the four gospels.
The s - uccess of the raiders has taken
everybody by surprise, as it was imagined
that it would be reported from the com
mittee with a negative recommendation,
and the fact that it has received an affirm
ative report has given rise to all sorts of,
rumors. It is charged that the reprsent
tatives of the various interests seeking
legislation formed a combination by which
the above result was accomplished, and it
is openly asserted on the street that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company lent a
helping han - d. ~This latter assertion is
Positively, denied by the officials of that
corporation, who_ state that they have
never taken any part in the matter. The
reporting of the bill has been the cause of
considerable excitement among the mem
bers; some of whom have threatened an
expose of the operations of those who have
in charge this grand scheme to deplete the
Treasury. This would certainly prove an
interesting chapter in legislation at Har
risburg.
Trrz lecture by Wendell Philips on
`The Lost Arts' in Lancaster on Saturday
evening was one of unusual interest and
power. We may have occasion at some
future time to refer to the leading ideas.
We however wish to call the attention of
our citizens to the fact that a long winter
has passed without any literary or musi
cal entertainments, if we except one con
cert, and the lecture of J. J. Sprenger.
We stand in sad need of just such a course
of lectures as Lancaster, York, and other
towns are now enjoying. They are the
richest sources of information. We are
laboring under the disadvantage of inad
equate Hall accommodations, but if the
proposed Masonic Temple be erected, this
difficulty will be obviated, and by next
winter we too may enjoy social and intel
lectual banquets.
Not a Heathen Document
Thb New York Journal of Commerce,
in reply to a correspondent, who, speak
ing of the Federal Constitution, complains
that "In that document there is not an
allusion from first to last of God or Christ"
says: .
" There is a distinct recognition of our
great Redeemer in the words at the close:
`Done in convention by the unanimous
consent of the States present, the seven
teenth day of September, in the year of
our Lord one thousand seven hundred and
eighty-seven.' Further than this it was
not the purpose of our fathers to go; but
this is sufficient to vindicate the Consti
tution from the charge so often made,that
it contains nothing to distinguish it from
a heathen document.
Specie Payments
The financial editor of the Philadelphia
Ledger does not think we are so near to
specie payments as many people seem to
imagine. - He says:
' The - Tide:a - Of - the preseht tendenCY
run
ning on so as to bring us back specie pay
ments is simply preposterous. With only
some twenty or thirty millions of gold in
the Treasury which the Government can
proper]y call its own, and $400,000,000 of
demand obligations outstanding, there re
mains a great work of preparation before
the Government can undertake specie pay
ments. While all rejoice that the curren
cy has much 'appreciated, that does not
mean a general resumption of specie pay
ments on demand for all obligations.
THE,AfOrnina, Post and the Lancaster
Intelligences, and probably other copper
head papers, have published a silly story
about Gov. Geary' and his addressing a
public school. This is a Greek story, ac
cording to Philips, and made to serve a
new purpose, because the aforesaid papers
hate the Governor. How mistaken these
men are if they hope to injure by such
twaddle, a statesman, who has rendered
his country most signal and honorable
service, and whose adminstration of af
fairs in Pennsylvania is exciting the ad
miration of the country.
THE new postage stamps will probably
be ready for use in April:- They are said
to be much better than those now In use.
We cannot•Aee that they could be' much
worse, and aO-we have bad several changes
lately we hope the national designer has
pitched this time upon a stamp that will
stick.
CONGRESS has so much business before
it that it 'will probably sit till July. Some
of the cadetship traders probably think it
has had too7long.a. session already.

In the Senate on Monday, Mr. Sumner
introduced a bill to provide for the.xe

Mr. Holman,to test the sense of the House,
moved to table the resolution, which was
not agreed to, the yeas being 3S, and the
nay sll5. The previous question was then
moved but not seconded,. and - the resolu
tion was referred to the Ways and Means
Committee.
Editor
Mr. Butler, of Mass., offered a joint re
solution, which was passed, allowing own
ers of homesteads to deduct interest paid
on mortgages from their income returns.
In the U. S. Senate, on Tuesday, Mr.
Abbott introduced a bill for distribution
of arms to the Southern States, for the
militia, which was referred. Mr. Sher
man, from the Finance Committe, report
ed beck the various propositions relative
to increasing the currency, and, at his re
quest, they wete tabled.
In the House, Mr. Schenck moved the
reference of the Funding bill to the Ways
and Means Committee, and Mr. Garfield
moved its reference to the Banking and
Currency Committee. Mr. Garfield's mo
tion of reference was rejected—yeas 63,
nays 79—and the reference to the Ways
and Means was agreed to. Mr. Butler,
from the Reccnstruction Committe, re
ported a bill for the admission of Texas,
similar to the Virginia and Mississippi
bills, which was passed.
The Georgia bill was taken up, and Mr.
Revels, the colored Senator from Missis
sippi, made his first speech in the Senate,
opposing:the Bingham proviso. Mr. :Mor
ton, of Indianna, after complimenting Mr-
Revels, followed upon the same side. Mr.
Howard then took the floor, when the Se
nate went into Executive Session and
soon after adjourned.
In the House, Mr. Stevenson, from the
Election Committee, made a report in the
Louisiana case of Hunt vs. Sheldon, de
claring Sheldon entitled to the seat. The
,Deficiency bill was passed. The New York
and Washington Air Line Railroad bill
was considered, and an amendment was
adopted, reserving to Congress the right
to alter and amend the charter. Bills
were introduced by Mr. Hooper to pro
mote international coinage, and, by Mr.
Cake, " for the redemption of outstanding
- United States notes and bonds, and the re
sumption of specie payments." Mr. Lo
gan, from the Military Committee. made
a repOrt that - Representative Butler, of
Tennessee, had appointed a non-resident
of his district to West Point, and subse
quently received money from the young
man's father. The report is accompanied
by two resolutions, each signed by hall
the members of the committee, one of
which censures and the other expells Mr.
Putler.
A delegation of colored Georgians calla
upon the President yesterday, and asked
his influence to defeat the Bingham amend
ment. In reply to them, •the President
said all classes ought to be protected, and
proper legislation ought to be directed to
this end, even if it went further in the
South than in ordinary cases,
Gen. Sickles was confirmed yesterday as
Minister to Spain.
The Prison Bill
In our last we referred to the Prison
Bill as likely to pass both Houses. Since
then we have the gratifying intelligence
that this attempt to drag the courts into
partisan politics will fail. Under the in
spiration of the probable passage of the
act, some of the "rings" were already
setting up their candidates for the next
Judicial contest. The bill, however, was
objected off the House calendar by Dr.
Herr, and called back to the Senate by
Mr. Warfel, where it awaits further ac
tion. These gentlemen deserve the thanks
of every honest voter in the county for
their rally in defence of the purity of the
bench: In the house Messrs Herr, God
shalk, and Wiley are opposed to the meas
ure. We have not learned what position
Mr. Reincehl holds, but as he has always
been on the side of the people, and in fa
vor of giving them a voice in the choice of
their officers, we can safely presume his
opposition to the measure.
The Express has long articles in defense
of this means of appointing the prison In
spectors, and in-connection with the ar
guments used in its favor asserts that "the
prison ring got their friends to work and
raised the clap-trap cry that the passage
of such a bill would be au invasion of the
rights of the people by taking the election
of Inspectors out of their hands. They
were so far successful in this that Mr.
Warfel was induced to offer a resolution
in the Senate recalling the bill from the
House, Dr. Herr having in the meantime
objected it off the calendar. * * We
think we know enough of the people of
Lancaster county to guarantee that any
Man who supports this bill will be sus
tained before his constituents, while he
who cowers and attempts to shirk the
responsibility, in the vain hope of concili
ating the noisy politicians and prison
roosters who are opposing it, will find in
the end that his position will be as un
tenable as it is unpleasant. * * * It
seems to us that a conscientious legislator
ought to rise above such influences as are
brought to bear by the men who have been
running the prilon for y - eari merely as a
rich placer to be mined solely for the pe
cuniary benefit of themselves and their
friends."
We believe that our legislators are ris
ing above partizan influences and are be
ginning to appreciate the full measure of
the confusion and evil which would result
from the enactment of the proposed law.
This is a question to be decided by appeals
to reason and argument, and not by im
mediate imputation of improper motives
upon one side or the other. We agree
with the Express in its own words, that
"the party that is driven to this mode of
attack and defense virtually acknowledges
either that his cause cannot be sustained
by argument, or that he is incompetent to
handle that weapon." We are in favor
of any reformatory measure which will not
increase the evil which it seeks to remedy.
The people want the evil removed but do
not desire a worse one in its stead. No
member need fear that he will not be sus
tained by his constituente, simply because
he fails to support this particular bill.
The Treasury Investigation.
On Wednesday evening the 9th inst.,
the Senate Finance Committee • held a
meeting, when the Chairman, Mr. Billing
felt, submitted a report in regard to Gen.
Irwin's refusal to be sworn, which report
was agreed to, and on the following day
submitted to the Senate. Mr. Billingfelt
also offered a resolution, on his own re
sponsibility directing the Sergeant-at-
Arms to bring Gen.. Irwin before the bar
of the Senate for such action as may be
taken by that body, which resolution was
adopted by a large majority.
On Friday the Senate reconsidered the
vote on Mr. "Billingfelt's resolution re
quiring the attendance of Gen. Irwin at
the bar, and thus the matter remains un
determined.
Treasury Reform
Remarks of John B. Warfel, esq., de
livered in the Senate of Pennsylvania,
Ilareb 3d, 1870, on the bill to reform the
mamtg,ement of the finances of the State.
Mr. - Warfel said:
7; Mt. SPEAKER: It is not my purpose
'at this time, to address the Senate on the
'particular merits of this or any other
financial measure proposed for the con
sideration of the Legislature, but inas
much as pet schemes have frequently been
alluded to by different speakers, since this
discussion commenced, and in a way that
would imply that they interfere with the
proper consideration of the question, it
seems but just and proper that I, who am
justly chargeable with one of these
schemes, should define my position, and
not be subjected to any unfair or unjust
charge resulting therefrom. And here
let me state that I have no personal feel
ing or predjudice in relation to the matter
whatever. My bill was principally pre
pared before the late election of State
Treasurer, as the Senator from Potter will
bear me witness. But I have no desire to
shirk any just responsibilty, and I did
originate a scheme, and gave to it consid
erable thought and effort, and I have had
the satisfaction of knowing that it was
approved by some of the best men in the
Commonwealth, both in high official posi
tion and otherwise. That it would work
a cure of some of the worst evils that we
suffer from in the Management of the
Treasury, I fully believe; that it would
put a stop to such scenes as we had here
at the commencement of the present ses
sion, and that it would thwart many of
the schemes growing out of the contest, I
have no doubt. Yes, sir, I believe it
would, as it was intended to do, secure to
the State many thousands of dollars, that
otherwise will go to the pockets of indi
viduals, or be used for. the purpose of de
-bauching the Legislature; and if you will
allow me to say, it would relieve us from
the power of, so far as I have been able to
ascertain, the grand. cess-pool from which
more corruption is engendered, than from
any other one source. Yes, sir, I believe
that and more. I have examined as care
fully as I am able; the various other bills
introduced, and I still believe there is
none other, that would better produce the
result at which I alined, than my own,
though there are many excellent provis
ions in most of the other bills. But, sir,
I want to be practical; I want to accom
plish something; I want to do some good;
and if I can't do it in the way I proposed
I am willing to take the next best. I
now that nothing is more certain than
that gentleman may honestly differ in
opinion, and I am not so unreasonable as
to think that I only can be right. lam
satisfied that the bill which we are now
considering has many good points in it,
and, as has been said, it has the addition
al merit of having passed the othes branch
of the Assembly, which it is doubtful if
any other billean do. But I want some
thing that means refo rm. I want some
thing that will at least help to remedy the
evil. The gentleman from Clearfield in
troduced. a most excellent measure in his
last bill. I would like very much to see
that adopted.. But I don't want to en
danger tins by trying to substitute any
thing else, and I believe there is danger.
Pass this bill, and you will . Work a very
great reform; fail to pass this, and my
judgment is that no other reformatory
measure of this character will the Legis
lature this session.
A yoke. Why not?
Mr. 'W. I could tell the gentleman why
I think so, but perhaps ib would not be
proper.
Mr. Connell. Speak it out.
Mr. W. Well then I will ,state .that I
have no confidence in this Legislature
wanting to reform the management of the
treasury. Senators try to ridicule the
idea of the State receiving interest on her
deposits, and say that bankers would scorn
such a proposition. The statement of the
gentleman from Allegheny is sufficient
answer to that. The fact that the city of
Pittsburg has adopted this plan, in the
management of her finances, and that
she has had no difficulty in having her
funds secured, and yet receives five per
cent. interest on her daily balance, is
sufficient answer to all such attempted
ridicule. Again, we are met with the
constitutional provision, that the money
belonging to the Sinking Fund can only
be used for the payment of the public debt,
or the interest thereon; and that all the
money we have belongs to the Sinking
Fund. Well, that simply illustrates the
difference between theory and practice.
The money all belongs to the Sinking
Fund when we ask the State to be bene
fited, when we want to, use it in lowering
our taxes, or in paying our debts. But it
is conveniently in the Treasury proper,
when it is for the interest of the Treas
urer, or corrupt combinations to be there,
I have no sort of patience with such reas
oning. The facts are, that for years the
people's money has been taken from the
Treasury, and used to enrich individuals
or corrupt combinations, and it will con
tinue to be used for just such purposes,
unless we take means to prevent it, and
we all know it. Every Senator knows
that it was not for the salary of $l7OO,
that we had such a disgraceful scramble
here at the beginning of the present ses
sion, and the only question now is—Shall
the whole people be benefited by their own
money, or shall it continue to be used to
enrich a few favored individuals?
The Auditor-General's report shows us
that the average monthly balance in the
Treasury last year exceeded $1,500,000.
Five per cent. interest on that would have
been $75,000. Does anybody doubt but
some one was greatly benefited by that
money? We all know it was not the
State. Nay, more, if it only was used to
enrich an individual, its effects would not
be quite so bad; but I fear its evil influ
ences ramify much farther. And shall
this state of things continue? In all prob
ability the average monthly balance in
the Treasury this year will be as great as
last. Nay, more; in July a part of our
State indebtedness will be due—about
$1,500,000, payable in gold. :tinder the
recent decision of the Supreme Court, the
holders will demand the coin, while it is
well known the State will refuse to pay
in other than legal tenders. Litigation
will ensue, and the consequence will he
that the money will remain in the Treas
ury until the suit is decided. Another
$1,500,000, and in all $3,000,000 in the
Treasury, and on which we might, as well
as not, receive $150,000 interest. And if
the State does not, does anybody doubt
that somebody else will? I have no de
sire to impugn the motives of Senators
opposing this measure, but I think they
will have some difficulty in satisfying the
people of the State that they acted in their
interest. I therefore appeal to Senators
to lay aside their personal preferences,and
vote for this bill. It will be a long stride
in the way of reform. It will do a great
deal of good, and if not all that Senators
want, it is the best that we can agree upon
at this time
One word further, and I shall be done.
I want to wash my hands from all con
nection with Treasury combinations. I
never did and never will have anything:to
do with them. As I stated before, the
Treasury seems to be the cess-pool from
more debauchery emanates than
from any other source here at Harrisburg;
and that is saying a great deal. And we
all know it, and the people all over this
Commonwealth know that there is some
thing very wrong there. Here is a meas
ure intended to, and which certainly will,
cleanse that Augean stable from many of
its impurities. Let those who favor re
form show it by their votes for this meas
ure. Let no mere personal preferences
swerve them from the path of duty, but
let us unite and show by our votes that
we legislate- in the interest of the whole
people, and not in that of particular indi
viduals or combinations. "By their fruits
ye shall khow them," was a wise saying.
and by our votes here to-day the people
may know whether we are honestly in fa
vor of reform or not.
Columbia and her Carpet-baggers.
WHAT THEY HATE DONE
It will be impossible to condense in one
short article a fair statement of how much
has been done for Columbia by that class
of our citizens, who are promiscuously
termed carpet-baggers. We can not posi
tively determine why our population dif
fers in this ,respect from neighboring
to wns,whetherfrom geographical position,
from the nomadic habits of the aborigines
who first peopled this territory long before
the "Fourth of July or Washington's
Birth-day were heard of; or from the su
perior advantages offered to business men
to embark in successful enterprileS. No
doubt this peculiarity of onr: population
was partly induced by the lumber interests
at this point, which at one time. made all
other interests subservient.
A gentleman, who belongs to this
distinguished, but often persecuted class
of our"fellow citizens writes that promi
nent amongst our carpet-baggers is one
who perhaps has done more to promote the
development of Columbia than any other.
Ile came here sometime during the year
1.4.39 dperiod when a general prostration
of business prevailed in our Borough.
The Shawnee Rolling 11111 which a few
years previous had been built by a compa
ny of gentleman had suspended Operations
and was sold by the Sheriff at a great loss
to the original proprietors. At that peri
od when almost every business and enter
prise was languishing we had an associa
tion composed of a few of our most
energetic citizens designated a "Board of
Trade," whose circulars and letters pos
sibly elicited the interest which afterwards
this gentleman manifested in the purchase
of the Rolling Mill and the establishment
of a first class store which soon after were
in successful operation giving employment
to a great number of persons and indeed
infusing a new energy into the citizens of
our town. The Reading & Columbia R.
R. at the time of which we write was sim
ply a project; we believe a bill of incor
poration had been obtained, and appar
ently its history through the croaking and
indifference of our old fogies consummated.
The gentleman of whom we write con
cieved in the construction of this road a
market for the rails which his mill was so
successfully producing, and by the magic
of his energy, secured a subscription to
the stock of the company, and effected
the sale of the bonds which by his untir
ing effort eventually built and constructed
the road, and which we may add secured
a greater benefit to our town than any
enterprise heretofore accomplished. Mr.
W. G. Case has contributed very largely
to the wealth and prosperity of our town
We learn with pleasure that Mr. C. con
templates the erection of a mansion, and
that he will make Columbia . his permanent
home.
Another enterprise, undertaken by gen
tlemen from a neighboring county has
been attended with great success. and has
been made to yield a liberal income to the
proprietors, and furnish steady employ
ment to a large number of skilled laborers.
The manufacture of steam engines, boilers
and other machinery for mills and facto
ries was always contracted for at found
ries in Philadelphia and other places,
until the Messrs. Supplee invested their
capital in the large foundry and ma
chine shop which have been in successful
operation for many years. The very finest
steam engines are built here, and besides
furnishing employment, the enterprise
has attracted trade and kept capital at
hoMe.
The immense lumber trade of Columbia
is due mainly to the energy of gentlemen
who coming from abroad invested their
capital here.. The coal trade has steadily_increased under the same' inspiration
though much of this business is directly
managed by native Columbians—all good
men and true. The public improvements
of the town and her rapid growth, into
the dignity of a borough, have reflected
that same energy and enterprise.
These interests combined—the capital
and enterprise of our adopted citizens, and
the energy of native Coltunbians—have
made us a prosperous community. We
have not space to refer to the great iron
interests of the place, but must leave these
for a subsequent chapter.
A Voice From The West In Favor Of Protection.
We invite the attention of our readers
to the following extracts from the able
Message of Gov. J. W.fMcClurg, of Mis
souri. In speaking to the legislature of
the resources of the State lie presents in
forcible language unanswerable aagu
meats in favor of protection to American
industry. What he says n=ill apply u<`•ith
equal force to nearly every other State in
the Union. Protection, as he clearly
shows, will make the United Stater a mar
ket for the entire world, while free trade
will send us to Europe and other parts of
the world to purchase what we are able to
produce in abundance at home.—Gov.
McClurg deserves the thanks of every true
American for his timely warnings against
the insidious wiles of foreign free traders
Coming from a Western State, which the
free traders claim as entirely devoted to
their views, it has double force, and sets
an example worthy of imitation in other
parts of the country:
"What Missouri needs is the develop
ment of her resources. She should spread
abroad correct information as to their di
versity and immensity. They are not
generally underetood at home or abroad.
While possessing within her limits unu
sual facilities and most abundant materi
als for almost every variety of manufac
tures, at the same time - she is, cortiliiira
tivelyspeaking, destitute of Manufactories.
Nature has been lavish and we have been
remiss. We are to-day essentially an ag
ricultwal people, with what commerce
we have based principally upon agricul
ture, but without cities and towns of
manufacturers t 6 consume our agricul
tural products. We rely chieffly, on mar
kets for purchase and sale outside of our
own State; even on the manufacturers of
other States for the very furniture that is
both necessary to and adorns our homesl
for hardware and cutlery, for stoves and
hollowware; for clothing, both woolen and
cotton; for leather; for boots and shoes;
hats, wooden ware; while we have at our
own doors, unsurpassed water-power, the
required timber, iron ore sufficient for the
world, coal in abundance, lead ore in at
least forty counties, and cattle and sheep
upon thousands of hills ready to supply
our own tanneries and, woolen factoreis,
and counties upon the entire southern line
of the State cotton producing. Why do
- we not have our own mannfactories.of
our own raw materials with towns and
cities of busy operatives affording—while
themselves employed, independent and
comfortable—a ready market at their doors
of our agaiculturists for the meats and
grain that now seek distant markets at a
cost of transportation that might be saved
to pay for articles on which transportation
and various profits might also be saved?
Why not thus keep the wealth that goes to
other States and countries at home and
reduce the burden of taxation by having
more wealth to tax to raise a given amount
of revenue?
"With iron under our feet we send to
other States and Europe for the manufac
tured article. Almost all the iron on the
railroad tracks in onr State came from
Great Britain, in area but little larger
than our own State, but through her man
ufactures one of the first powers of the
world. 'We import white lead and pig
lea; while in many counties of our State
in which not a single shaft has been sunk
the lead ore looks out from the surface as
if ill derision of our indolence and ignor
ance, almost from the Eastern to the
Western line of the State.
"Bold streams and springs, though suf
ficient for Lowells all over our State, still
continue to break silence of solitudes, as
they have been accustomed for ages, with
out the hum of spinning wheels and shut
tle's noise; while our old citizens, unable
to awake from the lethargy that slavery
produced, send even their wool, dry hides
and other materials to other States for
manufacture, to be returned with profits
and capitalists of other States seem to
know that that curse is removed and that
labor is honorable and remunerative with
us.
"The water-power of our State is abso
lutely unexampled. With two of the
mightiest rivers of the world, one wash
ing our whole eastern line and the other
dividing the State near its center from
West to East, we have other rivers and
streams unsurpassed facilities for manu
facturing.
"The great desideratum in our State is
to make these facilities available and de
velope these varied and immense re
scources. This can be accomplished only
by the application and expenditures of
capital and labor. How that capital and
labor are to be obtained is therefore an
important inquiry.
"If, under any circumstances, it were
ever wise for a State to engage in manu
facturing or mining, no one will advance
the idea that our State can, in her present
financial condition, embark in such enter
prises.
" Individ eal capital and enterprise must
make the development and reap the di
rect rewards. Mow can that capital and
enterprise be induced to our State? The
answer is plain: 'Make the inducements
known: spread abroad true information
as to our resources.' Moneyed men will
invest in agricultural lands, in timber, in
water-power, in mines of iron, coal and
lead, in woolen mills, in flouring mills, in
tanneries, and import operatives from
other States and countries, and build up
cities and towns, because their invest
ments cannot be otherwise than remune
rative. It is true, capital is sensative,but
is equally true, that it is shrewd and seeks
profitable investment.
"What can we afford to do, in view of
our financial condition as a State, in order
to place before the millions of this and
other countries correct information as to
our ,elianate, soil,- agricultural products,
minerals, timber and water power?
"In speaking, as I have, of manufac
tures and the importance of their being
established in our midst. I would not be
understood as undervaluing agriculture,
which underlies, as a solid basis, all our
other interests. But with agriculture
alone we cannot have that dense and busy
and thriving population . of which our
State, is so susceptible. We want the
fields of agriculture made inviting by mak
ing them remunerative, with markets by
their sides for the surplus produce. We
want the same price for wheat, pork and
beef at every farmer's county town or in
his vicinity, from manufacturers, that
they would bring it in an Eastern market
or in Europe, when there may be there an
occasional large demands For the en
couragement of our agricultural interests
therefore, we should welcome and encour
age manufacturers. They foster and
gixernizthen that-intrest,
"It is for you to have regard to all of
these interests in your own State, and, as
wise legislators, in your deliberations,
leave the question of a national tariff to
the wisdom any discretion of those select
ed as national legislators in view of what
ever necessity there may be for a national
revenue. At present there is but little
that is practical to be arrived at by such
discussion. co doubt there should be
and will be modifications of the present
tariff laws, so as to remove any burdens
there may be, as rapidly as possible and
place the duties as much as possible upon
articles of luxury. If that be the object
of present discussions they are well. But
I hope what are called free trade ' move
ments may be regarded with suspicion.
Should, in remote years, ' free traders ' be
successful and manufacturers of our coun
try be broken down, and. our whole popu
lation become agriculturists without home
markets, we will see the beauty of ' free
trade ' when we are left ' free ' to choose
between Europe, Asia and South Ameri
ca and give our entire products to pay
transportation. We will see the beauty
when our Government shall have been
bankrupt and be compelled as ever in the
past to resort again to a tariff on imports.
Common-sense people will take a common
sense practical view of these things and
wisely tax themselves, in one sense. to
procure manufacturers, just as lately the
Council of Jefferson City made a deed of
ground worth some thousands of dollars,
in consideration of machine shops to
be built that will add laborers and consu
mers to the poulation.
We certainly in our State should con
demn anything like indecisive or vacillat
ing national legislation on this subject;
tending to cause doubt and fears among
capitalists as to a future policy. While
our national resources are profuse and
readily made available, uncertain national
legislation may cause them to lie compar
atively neglected as at present.
With stable legislation, no State has
more flattering prospects. We have a
population so increasing by immigration
that one may reasonably calculate that
the United States census of this year will
disclose the fact that we number 2,000,000.
With our unexampled and varied resourc
es all we can manufacture will find ready
market among the population west of us
rapidly growing into new States. Our• lo
cation is central between the oceans and
between the lakes and gulf. We have one
continental railroad line and destined to
have another to bring us their share •of
the commerce and travel of the world, and
a commercial metropolis so favored by
nature that rivers and railroads must
pour into her, in great measure, their
wealth and make her the Great City of
the Mississippi Valley. with a prospect
equal, if not superior, to any of becoming
the capitol of this nation—the greatest
city in the greatest valley in the greatest
nation in the world.
"It cannot be expected that a message
can treat of these subjects in detail. De
tailed information should be published
and sent ebroad.
" Our iron interests are sufficient for a
pamphlet.
" Our lead resources are sufficient for
another; water-power for another; coal for
another; timber for another; growth of
- wool and grape culure on the - very hills
beneath whose surface are inexhaustible
supplies of iron, coal and lead; and for
another the desirableness of the entire
southern tire of counties for mining, for
fruit culture, for cotton growing, together
with their pure gushing streams and their
delightful climate.
Jonx Ilooix, the Democratic
free trade Representative from St. Louis
in the Thirty-ninth Congress, has taken
the stump for the protection of home-la
bor." The effort to convert Missouri to
the doctrines of the New York importers
and to a cause which has covered England
with beggary, is something like the effort
to ask the negroes to go back to slavery.
