In England th e word protection as applied
t) manufactures and industrial pursuits,
Le2liale hateful to the masses of the people,
becetee! it was the eel tish demand of an already
privileged clam The people wanted protec
tion against tnouopolies. But in America, and
especially in Pennsylvania, protection is a
good word, and has a different signifitance
from its English use. Here we do not fear
aionopoln.s as they do in England; we, ,the
people, ac up, sovereigns ; we make our (Win
laws, and if wee make monopolies, it is our
own fault. and we can unmake them again
when we find t' en out, as such. Here pro
teetiori implicit the defence of our own incluse
try and the natural products of our own soil,
against such foreign competition as is calcu
lated to bring down tke price of our produce
noes so low as to afford neither a fair profit
to the prodocer, nor adequate wages to the
werking man ft is the legitimate province
of h nowt government to afford this kind of
protection to its people. 'lt is hound in its
own territory to see fair play to all interests,
and provide Such restrictions upon foreign im
portati.m', as will preyerit. our producers from
being swamped in our own markets by inade
quate prices. The intelligent American work
ingniau is not to he placed in compariniii with
the ill paid limper laborers of European na
tions ; here he is one of the sovereigns, and
has rights which are bound to be protected,
nod one 6t these rights is "a fair eily'e wages
for a fair day's work." For instance, in Penn
sylvania, where so large a proportion of our
population are so largely iuterested,directly or
indirectly, in the production of iron—if an im
ported aniele competes with our own to such
au extent tleit 4 qiiie manufacturer cannot re.
ceive a fair return for hie capital invested and.
his risks, and, at the same,time, pay such
wages to thief) in his employment as will evil
tile them to provide for their families in such
a manner as an American citizen has a right
mid ought to expect to live--then we say teat
the government is bound to afford the iron in
terest of Pennsylvania protection -not for
the purp ise of building up a wealthy cuanu•
facturiug aristocracy, but to show fair play
to all—the laborer and the capitalist--th.e nia
tenet man ante the fanner, who furnishes the
supplies upon which both the industrial and
the wealthy subsist. it is one of the first du
ties of all national legislation to create and
increase a domestic trade between the differ
ent classed and pursuits of the same communi,
ty. In ii properly constituted common.
wealth, diversity of pursuits and unequal die.
tribution of wealth are inevitable. Intelli
gence and progress are, thank God I in this
country, u thorough preventive of anything
tyke agrarianism.
In Pennsylvania, the question of protection
is not merely one of politics,--it relates to
employment and population as well as to the
iuveetinerit of capital. It is one in which all
'clusses - the termer as well as the mechanio—
huve an equal interest. lt is for the direct
interest of the farmer on the Allegheny, the
Clarion, and the J u Mato, that the furnaces sod
mills in his neighborhood should be constantly
at work, and it oleo directly afients the em',
ployers in thosi! establishments. The proper
kind of protection to our manufacturing inter
ests would not increase the price to the con..
ei ee " : , e r. This argument ill a fallacy. Such
weak] be the effect of an increase of duties
upon arty article which we could not produce
—tea and coftee, foe instance. This no one
desires. But to increase the duties upon iron,
glues, hardware and such articles as w e can
and do produce, does not necessarily increase
the price to the consomer. A judicious in
crease of duties results in an increasceof cap
ital and lebor in the benefit ted branch of in.
dustry, and home competition will regulate
the prices as effectually es foreign can do. At
the same time, the borne manufacturer, know
ing that he can undersell the foreign one, wily
regulate his stock by the demand, and will
nie nriees at such a high figure that
the importer can come in competition with
him. Thus we shall be able to keep ourmouey
at home, increase employment at home, and
at the same time have as good articles at as
fair a price as now. Thus the prosperity of
the entire community will be advanced, and
the advantages will inure equally to all classes.
The great benefit of a fixed and fair amount
of protection to home icdustry is the certainty
which it gives to the safe investment of cap.
ital and the constant emyloyenent of labor.
If we depend upon foreign protection, we
must be subject to the commercial finctuap
(ions and necessities of foreign countries. Our
money must be expended among a people
with whom we have no interest. If we puts
chase at home what we can make at home,
this evil is avoided.
The interests of Pennsylvania, the largest
icon producing State in the Union, demand
some modification of the present tariff of
duties upon such articles as she produces and
manufactures. In the construction of the
present law, the old Keystone has scarcely had
fair play. A sort of middle ground between
the North and South, she has yielded much
to the interests of both, and sacrificed some
thing which she should have retained for hen
self. It seems probable that the present
necessities of the public treasury may ere long
call for some change in the tariff as a means
of increasing the revenue of the government.
When the Jubject shall be considered/ as it
may be by the present Congress, if they ever
get through with the Kansas question, the
people of Pennsylvania will look to their rep,
resentatives to do what lies in their power,
for the encouragement of our great producing
interests atd especially our iron manufac-
APRit, 16, 181:0
turera.
At another time we shall speak of this sub
'act more particularly in its bearing upon our
own State.
Governor Packer has been moat watchful
of the interests of the people of the State in
the care with which he has examined every
bill which has passed the Legislature since
he assumed his Antes. All his veto messages,
of which he has been obliged, in the perform
ance of his duty, to issue quite a number, are
model documents of the kind of State papers.
In each instance his reasoning has been clear,
brief, and satisfactory, and in no case has his
decision been reversed. Hasty bills, special
legislation, and acts of doubtful constitution,
ality, he puts a finish to in a ornrteous, able,
and decided manner, which, while it prevents
public harm, increases the respect for his judg
ments and his talents, in the minds of all.
His last veto was of " An act relative to
the Courts of Lancaster county," which pro..
posed to empower two associate judges, one
of whom being learned in the law, to hold
courts of Oyer and Terminer. This bill was
vetoed as unconstitutional, the fifth section
of the fifth article of the constitution, provid
ing that two of the judges constitute a quorum
of such Court, the President being one. After
able, and convincing elamination of the con
aitional question involved in this act, Gov.
Packer says:
I am aware that the views hereinexpressed
may be considered somewhat in oonflict with the
decision of tho Supreme Court of this State,
made in the case of the Commonwealth vs
; but it must be remenibared that the rule
of construction in our judicial tribunals in de
a
termin the constitutionalily of an act of As
sembly ' differs essentially from that which should
be applied by the Legbtlature or Eseouilve
branch of the government. It is the duty of
the law making departments to give the moist.;
itoion a strict construction, and, to avoid the itti
ercise of doubtful powers. Courts of justice, cc
the contrary will never declare en sat Of Assem
bly unocaistituti.ual if it eau, by -,ny rational de
auction, be reconciled with the fundamental law.
Where a doubt exists, that doubt is solved in
fuvor of the validity of the act, upon the pi
suraption the t the L , gielattiro,ii co ordinatebranch
of the government, has judged directly of
own constitutional powers. But a well founded
doubt, whether a propos,Al enactment is not foe -
hidden by the coustituliou, is a suffioient reason
tor restraining the action of the Legislature.
Doubtful puffers can never be safely exercised,
and consequently nu law should be enacted by
the General Assembly which is not clearly within
the pale of the constitution. The same rule
enjoins the judiciary, in the discharge of its
Duties, to retrain from intrenching on the powers
of the leslislative department of the government
A firm adherence to these roles of construe
tion will ineuro the fundamental law of ibe
:'itate against infraction from a quatater, and will
thug prutoet our people in the full enjoyment of
thous invaluable privileges eecured to them from
legislative or judicial inleforenea, by that law
which emanated directly from themselves, and
was adopted and sanctioned by their owl' imme
diate voics.

"Has any one talked to you about being a

ed the Judge.
"Yes sir," she replied. mother heard
they wanted me to be a witness, and last night
she called me to her room and asked me to tell
her the ten commandments, and then we kneel
ed down together, and she prayed that I might
understand h-w wicked it was to bear fatte wit
ness against my neighbor, and that God would
help me, a little child, to tell the truth as it was
before him. And,when I came up here with
father, she kissed Me, and told mo to remember

hear every word that I said."
"Do you believe this 7" asked the Judge

"God bless you, my child," said the Judge,
"you have good mother. This witness is c,om.

She told her story with the simplicity of a

about it which carried conviction of its truth to

for him a sham defense. But before her testi
mony falsehood was scattered like chaff. The
