The Chicage Tiibune, Triday Morning, August 15, 1873, Our dispatchosthis morning rohonrso the com- monts of a numbor of tho loading nowspapers of fowaupon the Anti-Monopolist Convention at DosMoines; All parties aro representod in thess oxpressions of opinion, which will show fully and fairly how theaction of tho farmers ls ro- garded from difforent points of viow, Ono of tho many practical advantages the farmers may oxpoct to dorive from aesociation has hoon ilustrated by tho action of the farmers of Chnmpaign County. ‘They have obtained o licouso from the Stato to act in a corporato ca~ pacity, and this wook bave sent to market nine- toou car-londs of their corn, on which thoy ox- pect to Bave $500., They mesu to ship their wholo crop in this way. Their plan of co-opera- tion aleo includes the oroction of & utorokiouse, Tho Harvest Homo pienic ut Clinton yoster- day was o groat succoss, aud was important, a8 doveloping tho social sido of tho Farmers’ Move- mont, which, beyond the pleasure such fostivi tion alwaya earry with them, will bo suro to nccolorato thoir political cotion, by tonching thom to know cach othor better and like ench other more. Noarly throo thousaod farm- ing people woro in attoudance, who onjoyed thomselves as poople usually do at pic- nics, and then listened to addresscs from Qov. Bovoeridgo, ox-Gov. Palmer, Gen. J. O. Black, aud others. Gov. Bovoridge alluded to tho au- gry tempor in which somo porsons wero discuss- ing the railrond question, and to the talk of vio- lonco. This bo doprecatod, and snid that if it were necessary e would use all thepower of tha Btate to suppress any disorderly movements, A new witnoss in tho Tichborne caso turns up at Springfleld, in this State, Ho was tho real Sir Roger's riding-toscher and daily companion when Sir Roger, then a young man, was stationed with his regiment at Cabir Barracks, Ircland, and foola sure he can tell whether the claimant is what ho pretends to be. LMis nmume s Jobn Crowloy, snd bhe is & woll-known vetorinary surgeon of Springflold, and is vouch- ed for nea man of high character and ntelli- genco, Bhould Mr. Whalloy, the English mom- - ber of Parhament who is now in New York collecting funds and testimony, really want to havo it sottled whether or not his client is Sir Roger Tichborne, let bim take Mr. Crowloy back to London with him; butitis tobe hopedthat tho English lawyers will not iusist on another Tich- borne trinl to determine whether Mr. Crowley is the peraon ho claims to bo, Lord Dufferin's reply to the memorinl of the Opposition, prayiug him not to prorogue Paslin- ment, roviews the posilion of the Government with regard to the whole mattor. The proc- Jamation issued mome timo ago, erippling the Tarlinmentary investigation by withdrawing its power to administor onths, was issued on , the authority of the Iaw advis- ers of the Crown in Eugland. Tho Canadian Cabinet were not responsible for it, Tlo says that notice of the proposed prorogation was given when Parlinment adjourned. No sub- atantinl objection was mnde to it thon, and, in consoquonce, o large numbor of mombors did not roturn, If ho hnd not prorogued Parlin- wont, he eaw no other courao open than to dis- minn his Ministry ; sud to do this whilo the accudntions wore untried would bo & prejudg- mont of their guilt, Tho Chicngo Euening Journal sud some other papers want to know who is Mr. F., the gontlo- man who took leave to deny very oxplicitly the supposed connnunication of Oales Ames to Gou, Clinton B. Fisk, as vouched for Ly the editor of Harper's Weelly, whevein it in tande to apposr that Mr. Ames confessod that ho had beon guilty of perjury aa woll ns slender in respect to the “8. C. or bearor” check for £1,200, Tho Journal pretends to regard Mr. F. a myth. Our veply is, that, whon Gon, Clinton B. TFisk comes to the front (he hos ot douo so yet), Mr. T. will come to tho front and meot him, Meanwhilo, the authority for tho story that Oakes Amos, shortly bofors his death, ncknowledged that ho hiad committed per- fury, rests with Zarper's Weekly, which, nceord- ing to tho Journal, is & sheot much given to hoot-lieking.” Tor our own part, wo wish that wo might never honr of tho Ames-Colfax cone troversy again. It makes uo differonco to auy- body, except Mr. Colfux, whothor ho- had tho #1,200 check or not, and with him the differenco i only o gontimental ono. In escaping from tho chatgo, Lo anly goos out of the Awos frying-pan into tho Neubilt fire. ‘Tho Chicago produce markets wore genorally strong yesterday, and brendutufly wore netive und highor, Mess porkwas dull and ashado onsior, at 215.90@10.00 cash or rollor Boptombor, Lard was (quiet and n ghade firmor, at 73§@80 por I for wintor, and 73{@173{c for summior ronderel, Meats woro quiet and firm at 7J¢@8c for shoul- dors, 014@9%o for whort middles, and 10@12 for sweot-picklod homs.

Ono of thom wntes to tho Manohenter Ezaminer, complaining that Lo ro- contly took n fair samplo out of oach bolo of n amall lot of Amoriean cotton, purchnsod at 6(d & pound, ond, Linving * soutchiod " it, found that in 100 1ba thero waro G0 1bs of sand and 41 Ibs of cotton. A socond trisl of somo of the worst cotton in tho lot proved a loss of 073 por cont, Tho chargo in & sorlous ong, but It would bo stll moro morious it 1t woro not o concodod fact that adultoration of almost ovory oxportablo article is & common practice in England, At prosont, the courts of that country are buslly engaged in tho trial of suits against all sorts of dealora in provisions and grocorios for adulteration. The Lnglish, thoreforo, can hardly oxpect to monopolize tho Lusinoss. Mr. E. Emory, of tho Peoria Transcripl, waa Collector of Internal Rovenuo in his district in 1808, Whilo acting in thia capacity, tho Peorin distillera placed $18,000 on doposit in his hands to sootre the purchaso of tho Tico moters, Bub- sequontly thoso motera wero abaudoned, and tho digtiltors brought suit in tho Circuit Court of tho Btato to recover their monoy. No ono ap- pearing to dofond in this .court, judg- mont was obtained for $12400 in fa~ vor of the plaintiffs (tho distillors), and 2 porpotual injunction was issuod rostraluing Emery from paying tho money to Tico or his sgouts. Lmory then paid ovor tho money to the attorney for tho distillors, Meauwhilo Judgo Doolittlo had brought suit in the United Btates District Court for 'lico against Emory to recover the money. Emery appeared and dotailod tho history of the other suit, but Judgo Dlodgoett, notwithstanding, issued an order that Emery should pay the monoey into his Court. Emery claims that io caw’t do this, as ho has alroady paid over the money on tho order of tho Stato Court. The quostion of jurisdiction srises, and Emory wants to know whether Judge Blodgett will arrest him if ho fails to pay the monoy into his Court within tho alloted time. Ifo probably will, unless Emory can givo a good reason for not complying with the ordor. It is for Judgo Blodgett to docido whothor tho reason is a good ono or not. This is cortainly o caso arising under the laws of tho United Btates. Emory himeolf seoms to havo hiad o suspieion that the case proporly camo within tho jurisdiction of the Unitod States Court, ra o obtained su indem- nifying bond from the distillors holding him Larmloss ngainst any snits Tice might bring, Tho country is familiar with, the first Syndi- eato, tho ono in '72, when Mr. Boutwoll sold 130,000,000 of 5 por cent bonds to s combina- tion of brokers, accopting their checks for the ‘monoy, and depositing the samo with tho drawers for threo months without intorest. Troated ns a componsation for oxchanging old for now Dbonds, he paid them, in addition to tho ono-halt of 1 por cent allowed by law, throo months'in- terost on the 0 por cont bonds which they were toeurronder. All this was illogal, not only without authority of Iaw, but agninst the pro- hibition of law, yot o pliant committce of tho Honse of Represontalives approved Mr. Bout- woll's thoory, that the ond justifted tho monns, oven if - tho latter woro illegal, Wo have now the second Syundicate, and it turna out that this is worao than the first one. On the 18t of March, 1873, the Syndicato subscribed for $60,000,000 of & por cent bonds, contracting to deliver in exchango therefor an equal amount of G per cent on tho 18t of June, the Byndicato to recoivo tho interost on both sorios of bonda for tho threo months. DBut it sooms the Syndicate waoro not able to deliver the 6 por conts at the end of the {hreo months, so the Socrotary of tho T'rensury oxtonded tho time to tha 30th of July, giving them five months. Thus the origi- nal illegal act of Ar. Boutwell hus beon improved upon by his succossor, and tho presont Syndicato onjoys five months' interest whoro tho first ono bad threo months. Thus docs & bad procodent grow in its ovil consoquonces. The present Secrotary may woll say that, if his pro- doceseor could soll £50,000,000 of bonds on threo months’ crodit withont interost, Lo is oqually justifiod in selling the same amount on flve months’ credit, aud if five months, why not Hoven, ten, or twelve months ? THE DES MOINES CONVENTION. The Anti-Monopolists of Iowa, who nominated a Blate ticket at Des Moinos on Wednosday, have this in common with the People’s arty which was organizod in Ohio a couplo of weoks ago : Absoluto ropudintion of Lolh the Ropub- lican nud Democratic partics as haviog outlived thoir usofuluess and their deconcy. 'I'he expros- sion of both Conventions on this point wes ua- mistakablo. Thoy both look forward to an en- tirely now and indopondont political organization a8 tho only remedy for tho sbuses and corrup- tion of tho timo, Republicans and Domocrats do not como together in the way of o tom- porary compromise to secure somo immediate object, but they hiave enrnestly gone to worlk for & longg pull and o stroug pul to reform u vitiated political status, for which both the old parties are about oqually respousible, Thoy are no longer Ropublicans or Domoerats, but anti-mo- nopolists and anti-corruptionists,—n Peoplo's Party. In Town, tho Domacratio party iu ontlroly anppressed. 'ho resolutions of the Conveution are o8 sovere upon the Domocratic organization ns upon tho Ropublican, and vice versa. 'The gontleman nominated for Governor has boen & Ropublican in times past, and thoir candidato for Tideutenant-Governer has beon a Domoerat ; but nothing appears in tho proccediugs of tho Uonvoution to indicato that former political asso~ clations oxercised any influonce on tho nomina- tious ono way or another. An offort whioh way mado toascertain the political comploxion of the Couvention, according to tho old afvision in pur- tion, was votod down, 'I'his action was & notico to tho world thut tho new party was neithor Domocratio nor Ropublicsn in its componont purts, Tho dond past was utterly ignorod, loft to bury 1ts own dend issuas, aud s policy was out- lined for tho future which is likely to enlist tho co-operation of ull men who act with o political party rathor for the pake of what it fa to nccomplish than for the sake of the party ituelf. It l# a matter of secondary consaquonco whother or uot tho Auti-Monepoliuts of Iowa succood in elocting thoir Btato tickot noxt fall. It s not probablo, from the prosont outlook, thint thoy ean do this. Town hns boon & Ropub- lican stronghold for twenty yonra, Tho majority at tho Prosidontial oleotion last yonr was over 60,000, andl it has averaged moro than 40,000 for & numbor of yoars. All tho offices, Fed- oral and Btate, and moarly all the local places, aro in tho hande of the Ropublioans, It would bo too much to expeet that tho now movemont shiould ovorcome this vaat majority with its ubiquitous machinory at tho very first oleotion. But the funoral obsoquies of tho Domocratio party will havo boon hold in that Btato, and that is tho first and most imporative neod of the future. The Anti-Monopolists will undoubtedly succoed in socuring the control of | many of tho locnl officos and of elocting a fair proportion it not n majority of the Togislaturo. I'he platform ndopted by tho Convontion s & strong ono, and, with a singlo oxcoption, practi- cal and to tho point. Wo bavo alroady oxpressod tho opinfon that it is Impracticablo to rogulato rallrond ratos by Stato loglalation, and wo aro not mnow propared to dissent from this viow. Tho attempt is likely to Lo mnde in Town, howover, whethor the Republican party or tho Anti-Monopolists succeed, aud wo slull have an opportunity of watching its opora~ tions in & Stato moro favorablo then Illinois. The platform in overy other respect is admira~ blo in mattor and ringing in tone. It domands aroposl of tho tarift on ealt, iron, lumbor, cot~ ton and woolen fabrics, and a roduction of the whole tariff system to a revonuo basis. On tho acoro of monopoly, thero 1s littlo difforonco bo- twoon extorting moncy from tho poople to pay dividends on watered stock and extorting monoy to protect a corlain clasg of capitnlists from compotition. Tho roponl of the Balary bill and the refund- ing of tho grab is put in the shapo of & demand which should teach the offico-holders that thoy aro the sorvants ond not tho mastors of the pooplo. Resorvation of the public domain for actunl sottlers is favored ns tho surost monns of provonting land-grabg, and tho fairest form of distribution. Strict construction of tho Constitu- tion, greater froedom in banking, and rigid ac- countability of all public ofiicers nro cardinal principles of tho platform. Tiuvally, thore is an invitation to sll mon, whatever their business or vocation may ho, and entirely regardless of pnst political viows, to Join tho movement against ¢ Tho corrupt Tammany steal, tho Oredit Mobilior fraud, the Congresaional sal- ary swindle, and the hundreds of othor . combi- nations, stonls, frands and swindles, by which Democratio and Ropublican legislators, Con- gressmon, and offlco-Lioklors have enriched them- selves, dofrauded the country, and impovorished tho poople.”” This is tho koy-noto of tho new campaign, whothoer it be in Iowa, in Ohio, or in any othor part of tho country. The nominations mado by the Iowa Anti-Mo- nopolists appoar to be in keopivg with their decluration of principlos. Alr, Jncob G. Vale, of Van Duron County, 1ins novor been prominent in politics, is & prac- tienl farmer, aud Prosident of a projected rail- rond to run from Codnr Rapids to St. Louis, which s to bo built by the people along tho line, and starts out with tho agreemont to subjoet it- solf to logislativo control. Mr, Frod O'Dounoll lives in Dubuque, was o momber of tho last Town Logislature, and tho author of the bill to rogulato rates of tranportation, which was defontod by tho casting voto of the presont Licutenant-Govornor. Whothor those gontle- nien cen ovorcomo tho cnormous Ropublican majority in the Stato or not, they will always bear tho distinction of having led the first vigor- ous independent movement in Iowna towards political freodom. THE CANADIAN TURMOIL. Tho proceodings in Cunada at tho meoting of the Dominion Parlisment are so rovolutionary in tholr character that thoy can hardly fail to ot tenet spocial nttontion in Eugland, aud to croato now excitement in all parts of the Dominion. The publicaroalrondy familiar with tho alloged bribory of thoDominion Ministry generally, and of no less than four of the Miuistors porsonally. The chargo rosts upon written statements of Sir Hugh Allan and G, W. McMullen, gnd mpon ocortain roceipts givon to them for tho mouoy, the whole having beon ‘mndo public by Mr. McMullen. When theso ac- cusations wore made, tho Opposition proposed a Parliamoutary invostigation, Lut, undor tho. direclion of tho Ministry, the mnjority voted this down. Subsequenily, on motion of the Miuiators, and at tho suggostion, it is bolioved, of Lord Dufferin himeelf, a committeo was ap- pointed, which fixed tho fimt weok in July to Dbogin the invostigntion. In tho moantime, tho English Qovernment, in the exerciso of its ro- visory power, disallowed and rejocted so much of tho authority given to this Committeo ns empowerod them to examine witnosses on onth ; &0, whon tho Committeo mot in July, it wasa quostion whather thoy would go on and tako unsworn testimony or not, and tho Ministorialists on the Committeo, belug in the majority, decidod to take uo testimony. This sharp practico in having tho power to ox- amino witnesses on oath takon nway, from tho Committee, and thon using iho want of auch powor ag an excuso for not taking any tostimong, liowever successful in dofealing tho investiga- tion, lind the effoct of intensifying public feeling throughout the Dominton. Parliament had ad- Journed to meot on Aug. 13, and, in anticipation of their action on the subjoct of the juvestiga- tion, it was suggosted through tho Miniaterial press that Lord Dufferin, the Governor-(ieneral, would adjourn Parliamont on the duy of its meeting, and would appoint a Royal Commission to make tho luvestigation, This Commission, boing selocted by tho Ministors will natarally bo selected for the purposo of do- claring the Minlstry innocont. U'ho Governor- Gonoral, however, as Into as Aug, 8, In a spoech delivered at Halifux, Lield out tho idea that ho would be governed by the wishes of Parliament. In that speoch ho sald : My only guiding star fn the conductand mainte- nanco of my oflicial rolations wiih your public men fu tho Parlinmont of Capada, I, gontlemen, belfevo fu Tarllament, no matter which way it votes, and to thoso men alone whomn the deliberate will of the Confederate Turlinment of the Dominion may neaign to mo as my rosponsible advisers can T give my confldonce, This assirance-gave great oncouragoment to thio Opposition, and, when Parliament nssemblod on the 1ith, Mr, Mackonzie, leader of tho Oppo- witlon, as & mattor of privilogo, proposed a roso- lution in the Commons, and whilo speaking therean was interrupted by the Bpeakor, who de- clarod that ho had received a command from the Qovernor-Genoral for the Commons to attond in the Bonate Chamber, whoro the ropresontative of the Orown wai about to proroguo Parliament. 'The Bpoaker thon put on his oflicial cocked bnt, nud, procoded by the Ushor of thoe Black Rod, or whatover his nume s, and followod by the Minis- torial mombors, loft tho Qlamber. The Op- position membors, who are flgured up as now conrtituting n majority ot tho Commons, doclinod attondanco at tho prorogation, aud, lator in the day, held mootings in whiok they oxprassed their opinlons Romovwhat fraoly. . Tho theory of tho DBritish Govornmont im, that tho Commons roprosont ihe country, nnd that, when the Commons oxpross their opinion in opposition to the Miniotry, tho Crown must rospect it, eithor by acbange of Minieters or by an appoal to the country in tho election of n now Parliamont, Thore havo boon times Inthehistory of the Eng- ligh Governmont whon tho Orown has pro- rogued Parliamont to avoll hostile loglslntion, and thoro have boon times whon thoro was no Parlinmont at all, the King mling without ono. DBut such timos have passed away, and it hns now bocome & fixed principlo of tho British Gov- orpmont that the Ministry ia diroctly rosponsl~ bio to the Commons. No British Ministor at this day wonld daro dofy public opinion by pro- roguing Parliament in order to dofeat an investigation into tho ° allogod bribery of tho Ministry or of any Minister, In fact, no British Minister would bo tolorated fu offico one -hiour who objected to any sorutiny of his offictal ncts, and especially of & chargo of corruption. An attompt to do in England what hoa beon done In Canada would produco o rovolution. Tho whole English poople wonld resont it in sten- torfan tones, Lord Dufferin holds office in Can- adn from tho British Ministry, and tho Iattor aro thoroforo responsible for Lis conduct. They cnnnot shift this rosponsibility, and mnst cither avow or disavow it, nnd in elther case must bo responsiblo to the British Commons, In tho monutime, tho British Parliamont will not moet until next winter, and in tho interval the Commission appointed by the Governor- Gonoral of Oanada will have roported. That re- port, it s fair to assumo, will whitowash the Ministry, and tho British CGovernmont will, por- Laps, accopt that a8 & justification of Lord Duf- forin's oxtraordinary procooding. But will the pooplo of Canada accopt that ro- port? The Dominion Parliament has beon pro- rogued until after that roport is made, when it will be agnin called. In tho meantimo, Canada willbo in a ferment of oxcitoment, Tho entire procooding is. so opposed to British notions of responsible governmont, that it is probabla that the Parliamont when it meots, somo months ‘honce, Will bo aven moro oxcited than it was on ‘Wednesday last, and that it will turn out that in point of fact all tho Ministry Lave geined is a delay of tho groat exposure, dolay of the votoof want of confidence, and delay in their dismiseal from offico, It 18 but proper to state that thoro is a strong fecling on the part. of tho Britiuh Ministry in {favor of the prosent Cauadinn Ministry. Bir John A, Macdonald, tho Canadian Promior, was a membor of tho Joint Commission that nogoti- ated the Trontyof Washington, Tho monoy necopted from Allan is said to have beon used in olecting n mnjonity in Patliamont to ratify {unt part of tho treaty relating to Canada. So far as tho British Ministry dare go, they will support their friends in Canadn; but such n pro- coeding 88 that which Lord Dufforin carried through on Wednesday lastis one that ia not likely to be more popular in England than it will bo in Canada, ANN ELIZA AGAIN. As the proliminaries of tho divorce suit of Ann Eliza Young from the Prophot bogin to dovelop themsolves, it is apparout that Ann Eliza is o vory fiokle woman, and that tho sympathy which glio has croated in ber effort to oscspe from po- lygamy has boen wasted upon a very unwortby object, It now appears from thoe statoments of one of hor own counsol, Judge Hagan, made to the correspondent of the New York Sun, and which wo give upon bis authority, that the di- voreo enit was originally one of the phaacs ina contost botweon Mormouiem and Methodism. ThsoRov. Mr. Stratton, formerly of Portland, Ore., i n Mothodist minister in Salt Lake Oity. Amn Eliza thinks a great deal of Stratton, and, taking advantago of this fact, Mr. Stratton detormined to convert hor and pluck hor like o brand from the burning, He commenced oporations by urg- ing hor to bring this sult, and, aftor long de- murring, bo provailed upon & law firm in that city to undortako tho case. Ann Eliza finally contonted to leave hior fractionnl sootion of Mr. Young, and the lnwyers began in enrnest. It was necossary that tho suit should bo brought in the name of hor next friond, ns tho law does not rocognizo tho right of tho wifo to suo hor hus- Lund io chancory., The lawyers, therefore, sug- goated that tho Rov. Mer. Stratton should put his »namo on tho bill, but, aftor gotting Ann Eliza into tho scrape, ho hadn’t pluck enough to help her out. Accordingly, the namo of Gon, Maxwell, who is in the Land Ofiico, was jvsorled. As soon as this was done, however, the lawyors lost track of Ann Eliza, nor did Stratton drop in, a5 was his wout, to confor with them. Hor counsel thon began to Jook about them, and they found that Ann Eliza, mstead of coming to them, was visiting tho Rov. Mr. Stratton, andnot only Aun Eliza, but Ann Fliza's fathor and mother, and H, B. Clawson, who is married to two or threo of Brighnm's daughters, and is, thorefore, two or three sons- in-aw of Aun Eliza, Tho lawyors bogau to goont o compromiso, but Ann Lliza donied there wns anything of tho kind going on. The lawyors, Lowever, could not un- dorstand this sudden iotimacy of Auwn Eliza, hor father and mother, Clawson, sud other Mormons, if Stratton was really trying to con- vort hor over to Methodism, Bo the lawyers put thelr henda togother and determined to find out what was in the wind, One day thoy mot her snd informed hor that they thought thiey would withdraw froni tho cuso, inasmuch aa the retain- ing feo was » very shodowy ono, and it wasa groat vexation at best. 'I'his oxnetly suited Aun | Elizn, and awny sho wont to seoStratton in the bost of upirits. The lnwyors then knew that sho had compromised with Brigham, and that night informed hor and Siratton that they had not withdrawn from tho suit and didn't intend to. Ann Elizo's spirits foll forly dogreos at once, buk Btratton consolod hor as boat he could, and wont tosee tho Jnwyors, Moanwhilo,tho lattor recoived authontio information thatsha had compromisod with the Prophot through Btratton for £5,000 down and $10,000 in ninety days, Maxwell was vory blunt with Mr, Btratton, and said: *Bhe can #ottlo tho caso, 80 far ag sho i@ concerned, for two bits, it she wants to, but sho can't sottlo ft.yor me, I'll bo A—dif shiocan, Xam aparly to tho suit, and tho law makes her counsel par- tiosto it, and Idon't proposs to go back on them,"” Thora tho mattor stands. Ann Iliza has com- promived tho suit, and don't want to got divorced, and thoe lawyors haven't compromised, and are going to divorco her any way, it they can. Ann Eliza has mado a beautifal muddle of it,and doverves to lose the 16.000 for which sho hos bargained to stay in polygamy, as sho probably will, If tho Court shonld grant a decroo of divorco, then the Prophot will got mad, and won't pay hor, of courso.

THE PAPER TAX, The Paper Trade Reporter, .the organ of the vaper-manufacturors of tho United Btatos, lins an olaborato artiolo on tho tarife quostion as ap- plied to that branch of American industry, show- jog that, in order to *“even up” tho paper in- torest to that of tho other protocted trades, the duty on foreign paper should bo raised to 40 por cont. Tho present duty is 26 por cont, and un- dor this inadoquato duty tho Reporfer tolls us that millions of copios of tho Now York Z'ribune, filled with Protectionist argumonts, nro scate tored over the country printod on paper im- vorted from Belgium! This is cortainly a griov- ance. Tho drift of the Reporter's ariicle, howover, is not in the diroction of highor duties, but rathior of an abandonment of tho protective systom. It enys: Alogialation of compromisc and sentimont and so- eallod rociprocal bonofits and favora fa unsound, viclous, partisl, and 08 natural consoquonco always corrupt and tyrannieal, 1 all intorcsts nro cqually holped, thoy all might Just oa woll not bo helped at all, for in saitting down to play a gamo with counters it akes no difference whothor thoy are valuablo or worthless 80 long o all aro helped aliko, If all tho fu- teroats of nnation mako doublo profits, tho offuat 3 precisoly tho ssmo as if all made half profit, If wo mako nnd uso only iron, sugar, wool, four, and paper, cach ot & doliar s pound fa preciscly tho Bamo as each at a cont a pound, snd thoro would niot bo tho slightest gain in raising thom all to o hundred dollurs o pound But tho legislntion that profésecs to look after tho wol- | fare of all Intorcsts i nlways ongincercd by msjorities, aud theso msjoritios are always on tho alde of tho strongar intorosts ; thoreforo the stronger an intorost i3 tho moro lawa aro cnactod In ita favor, and tho ‘woaker it ia tho moro 1t is opprossod. And this is 80 ob- vious, proceeding from tho law that mon invariably sbuso power, and especially power for whoso buso thoy cannot bo hold nocountable, that it s & continunl wonder to thinking mon that tho protenso of trade philanthropy and benevolenco, or of tho mutual con- sorvation of intorests, should aver bo allowed to enter Iegislativo bodios whoro nn irresponsible majority ‘must necesearily rulo, and ju tho procees of class log- islation doatroy one intoreat for tho benofit of anothor, Tho dutics which really oppross the papor- manufacturer, taxing the articles which he has to uao, are thesa: Alum, taxed €0 cents per 100 pounds, equals 30 por cent gold, noarly 35 por cent curroncy upon forelgn cost. . _ Brimstono In rolls, $10 per ton, gold.

On the contrary, we think that the nowspapors gonerally will advo~ cato tho complote abolitlon of every one of these nasty, pleaynne datios, the rolics of & somi-bar- barous systom of taxation. Tuxr Omicaco Tnin- ‘ONE hing ropeatodly advocated their repesl, and 80 havo most of the loading journala of tho West. Tho only reason why thoy haven't boon repenlod is that tho poper-ranufacturors themseclves wouldu'y help. They wore wodded to the pro- toctive syatom, which, as the Reporler shows, is shodding thoir blood dny by dny. If they will now take hold snd holp, wo promise that the presa will not be backward in urging tho repesl of all tho taxos on knowlodgo. e ——— Wo infor from tho stirring speech made by Gov. Booth in San Francieco that the California peoplo are becoming thoroughly arousod at tho railrond abuscs which they have suffored. No- whore in this country have the peoplo boou bled by railrond rings to anything liko the snmo ox- tent as in California, Thoy have been robbod of thoir Iauds; their Stato, and county, and mu- niclpal treasurios beon doploted; politics bns beon run in the intorest of construction rings; taxes have not only been imposod directly, ‘but tho people have boon swindled even out of tho stock that they subscribed and paid for. Qov. Booth says that ballot-hoxes have been stuffea und roturns altorod to securo & cortain gubsidy. He bolfoves that tho poople aro under a gort of terrorism, unable to rovolt against the dospotism that oppressos thom. Goat Isiand is tho nest objective point, aud the monopolists aro bomsiful in their confidence that they will getit. 1o spoaks of Credit Mobilior and the Contraet and Tinance Company as * a twin birth of incostuous shame.” Lo latter was to the Central Pacifio what the former was to the Union Paciflo, with tho difforence thnt its stenl- 1vga were probably more onormous. California and its counties havoe puid out $90,000,000 in subsidios, and are paying ont $105,000 annually In intovost, to saddle all this misery upon the people. Yot the Compauy dofios the Btate to collect its tnxos, and doties tho peoplo to holp thomsolves iu tho goneral oxtortion which it practicos, Cov. Booth says that **Thoro s not a ploco or specles of public property from tho China Basin and Gont Island to all tho brond noros of our nations! domain, from the remotest point in the mountaing to tho roling watora of tho rivors of the Plains, upon which somo in- cipiont or full-grown monopoly has not fixed its covetons oye, and does mot hopo to obtain hrough some kind of politieal corruption in bargain and snlo,” Query for tho people: What arc you going to do about it ? Tha platform sdopted by tho Republican State Convention of Pennsylvania, held at Harrisburg on Wednosday, was not singular in belng incon- giutont, but its incousistoncies ave so glaring that they are worthy of notico. One of tho londing resolutions was that * Tho Netional Ad- ministration domandy continued confldonco, and is entitlod by its promotion of the bost intorests and prouperity of the nation to the earncst sup- port of tho poople. Yot o subsaquont reso- lutfon condemned salary-grabs in gon- oral, and domsnded & reponl of tho law which authorlzed the revent increnso, Now good Republioans, such as thoy havo in Ponnsylvanis, caunot bo ignorant of the fact that tho National Administration, which laa mot with tholr approval, was particularly active it nocuring tho prasngo of tho Fnlary bill, which han mot. with thelr condemnation. If thoy did not know this, thoy could nol have beon Ignorant of tho fact that tho Salary bill bocamo o law by tho signature of the P'rosidont, to securo which tho bill offered hilm $100,000, and that ho thero- by assumed & rosponsibility equal to that of both Ilouses of Congress, which united in porpotrating the fraud. Wo nssumo that tho Republicaus, In thelr unqualified Indorao- mont of Gon. Orant's Administration, also In- tondod to approve of the Loulsinna usurpation and the Fort Bnolling ewindle, Their actlon is ono aftor Mr. Camoron’s own heart. Anothor inconsiatoney, which will bo equally apparent to most pooplo, is the indoraomont of tho proteotive systom in one placo and an oxpression of sympa- thy with the farmors in another. Tho Iowa farmers, judging from their rosolutions at Dos Moinos, will not'rogard this oxprossion of sym- pathy as very sincero. r—— Dr. F, von Hofkendorft, & writerin tho Gegen~ awart, hns published an exhaustive articlo in that magazino to show that the Borlin University is ropidly decaying, contrary to the expoctation of the managors and tho Government, that, when Borlin bocamo tho Oapital of tho Empire, the othor universitios in the Fathorland would lose many atudents, who would be attractod to Borlin. Exnctly tho roverse has taken place. The other universition aro thriving, and the Borlin Univer- gity is losing ground., Intho wintor session of 1872-78, thero wore 1,018 matriculatod students at Borlin. Of theso 052 wont away, lonving 1,200, to whom wero added this sossion 8234, go that tho ontire numbor is now but 1,690, Out of this tfotal, the six old prov- incon of Prussia sond 1,122, so that only 148, or not ono-tenth of tho whole, romain for tho now and western provinces. At Loipsio, how- ovor, tho increase hns beon vory largo. The figuros for tho last sossion show an attondance of 2,660, and thise number has been increased during the presont session to 2,720, The learned Doctor trios to account for the discrepancy by considorations of cconomy aud of honlth, both physical and moral. Were he allowed to writo tho roal canse, ho might find it in tho despotism whioh has its centre in Berlin. Thore is ono resolution in the platform adopt- ed by the Ropublican 8tato Convention of Penn~ sylvania which looks very much as though the Ropublican party there was opposed to any con= stitutional prohibition of spocinl logislation.

Thoro would bo no oceagion for {his domand if tho Ropublican party in the Btate did not proposo to dofont tho constitutional prohibition.
