All this bur- losque upon history and truth the Democrats of the Ilouse npplsuded to the echo, as alro the statement thnt the Confederates in Congress had come back to *‘rostore” m constitutional Government to the Unionm, which sinco 1860 had been governed by the falthless and perfidious North. After reeapitulating the *wrongs and outrages " inflicted upon the **South™ by the War upon those who liad sought to se- code, including tho Larbarities (?) practiced upon the Rebel prisoncrs at Camp Douglas, Elmira, and other places whore thoy lad Leen confined, Mr. Il1Ly declared that tho Bouth, being guiltless of wrong, was not to assumo nor to be placed in the position of penitents asking for forgivencss. The South hind come back to Congress to aid ila old friends and sympathizers, the Northern Copperheads, in getling possession of the Government, and not to ask pardon of a Government which the South was bercafter to rule and control. But he summed up the whols story in the deflant declaration that ‘*MinTres owE X0 APOLOGY TO TYRANTS,” and * SECESSION, HOW- EVER DEFEATED AND OPPRESSCD, WILL CONFEES O BIN TO FANATICISM."” The line Is hore drawn between the mar. tyred South and the tyrant North; and it is proclaimed that the South cannot be tortured into the confession that secession wna a sln, This declaration, burled definatly =t the yep- resentatives of the loyal North by o man who, while hugging the Constitution to his hoart, proposed in the Confederate Sonato that every Northern soldier found in the Bouth should bo shot down a3 a pirats and outlaw, was vociferously applauded by the Democrats, MMr, Hirn snd his nssocistes, whoso hands are red with the blood of cona- trymen of the South aud the North shed in the **unholy war” they sa basely procipi- tated, make but a sorry picture playing the part of martyrs, Nor can he excite much sympathy for himself and associates by claiming that the Lorrors inflicted upon the unfortunato prisoners at Andersonville were but appropriate punishmonts for the armed emisaaries of the tyrant North, Inall the history of the Rebellion, we do not think thero is o parallel for the brazen impudence and defiant insolence displaged by Bex Hmwy, of Georgis, in this dobate. "en years have passed sinco the War. In that timo tho Northern people havo been dealing with these Robels in a spirit of gen. crous liberality. No man lina been punished, or proscouted, or hung. Al have been ad- witted to suffrnge. All but a handful have raceived eatire political rehabilitation. Bew Hicn himself sits in Congress through the graco and amnosty of the conntry ho be. trayod. Nevertboless, the first uso ho makes of his pardon is to basely malign the gener- ous people of the North, and defiantly pro- claim himself a * martyr” in the immaculate cause of socossion. Personnlly, this man is but an ingrate; but, as o representative of that large closs now controlling most of the raconstructed States, his words convey to tho people of the North the warning lesson that tho Democratic purty now contains within its body the same hatred of the froe North, tho sams dovotion to secession, and the same purpose to bend the Government to tho purposes of the Sonth in as strong s degroe a3 befors or duaring the War., Can the North yet afford to surrander the control of tho Government to tho spiiit of hate and of sacession so boldly avowed by the Confedorato lender, Hirr, as the spozesman for the South? THE TRIBUNE AND THE TARIFF, Tho Inter-Ocean i3 publishing, from day to day, articles which appesred in Toz Cnr- caco Toinuxe in 1805, eleven yoars ago, and attempting to ostablish on inconsistency be- tweon the views of the editor of this paper at that timo ond those now expressed in Tux Trinuxe on the subject of tho tariff, The Iabor might bave been spared. During the War, and the soveral yoors of sinvery agita- tion preceding it, thero was little or no dis- cussion of the tarll, From 1B16 to 1830, n very low tariff had provailed ; in 1857, there was such n surplus rovenue in the Tronsury that by general agreoment of all parties, in. cluding tho Whigs, a atill further reduction of the tarilf wos made. In this measure Now England statesmen took nn active port, ond the Whigs, including such men as Sgw. anp, Corrax, and Hener Wirson, made no opposition, Tho reduced tarilf of '57 re- colved the affinnative votes of n majority of the Now Englaud Yenators. An increase of tho fariff ns a rovenuo mensure became a necessity aftor tho Robellion broke ont, and at the close of the War the imnposing dobt rendered its continuanco scemingly neces. snry, DBut tho question of high tariff or low toriff, Protectlon or Free Trade, was not discussed editorinlly in Tnx Tmmpuxe, In 1803, n gontleman who has not heen omployed on this papor for soveral yoars wroto, with the approval of the editor, n seriew of editoriol articles in favor of the greater developmont of manufacturing in. Austry in tho West, urging the utilization of tha ebundauce of chesp raw matorial, and the catdblishment of all kindsof mounfac- tures bere, whore tho raw materlals wero found in closo proximity to tho food neces. sary for the workmen, The adventages and protity to the Weat by adding to the products of the soil tho manufacture of all kinds of fubrics for which tho Western farmers ex. changed their goods werd presented in o variety of forms, but the question of “pro- tection” of wpecial interests ns s national policy waa in no wiso discussed. There iy uothing in that sories of articles which might not uow be published in 'I'me Tminuxe, though much of what was then urged to be donehes in the meantime bosn accomplished, Tho Western States have become manufac. turers, aud the unproteoted branches are doing beat. Subsequently, the tariff haviag previovaly been omitted from editorial discussion be. cuuse of diference of opinious, 4 correspond. unce took place on that subjoct throngh the paper, in which the editors took opposite sides, At a later date, Congress crowned the tarif nct by the onormous outrage of the woolen and motal tari® of 1847, ‘Che present editor of Tor Turonx shout that time carefully reviewed the wholo subject in its theoretical and practical dotails, and reached the conclusion that the principle of * Protoction " by muans of excessive dutics wad erroneous; that it did not prevont for. cign compatition ; that it did not protect the American fannors, but on the contrury plundered them; that it did notraise the moat revenue with the least oppression ; that taxes lovied for the protection of apecial iuterests viclated tho spirit, 1f mot the letter, of the Coustitution ; that such a system of dutfes did not benadis, bus injured, Amurican labory that it was a delusion and an economical blunder. Furthermore, that it {ncrensed the cost of living and the cost of production, Tho tax levied for protection becamo a tax upon all the raw matorials of the manufac. turer, incroasing the cost of hislabor, and so incrensing ¢ © cost of his production that he was cut off from all markots but that of his own neighborhood, and consequontly limit. ing his productlon. In the meantine, his own employes, subjected to the like tax on all things entering into tha cost of living,~rent, clothing, food, and fuel, and working on a roduced production,—were worse off thanbefore. Tho non-protected classes, including the agricul. tural and mechanical, commercial and ordi. pary Inbor populntions, ware all subjected to this enmo tax, which enhanced tho cost of living nnd conswmed their earninga without any corresponding profit, and crippled tlom in their industry, Underthese circumstances, the editor of this paper years ngo renouncad whatever approval he hod proviously given to the docirine of Prolection. It was not dove privately, but was Lnown to all men who had any interost in bis opinious, and to the extent to which tilis change of opinion on this subject may involve {nconsistency any person so disposed may make tho most of it. As wo havo sald, Tue Cnicaco TrinuNe did not discuss, editorially, the relative bene- fits or injuries of tho teriff until 1866, and since that time tv tho present has uniformly advocated the repeal of all merely protectiva daties and the rearrangemcnt of tho tarlff on a purely rovenuo basis. Each day's expe. riouce and observation confirm us in the judgment that, together with the ovil of nu irredcomable currency, the high protective tariff has wrought incalculable injury to tho country, has impeded tho rovival of national prosperity, bns crippled manufsctaring, and wust be repealed before tho country can completely recover ita natural and vigorous increase of wealth, upon having & Western and a rag-baby candi. dato nominated for President by ths Domo- cratio Convantion, is out in a vigorons pro. test against the basis of ropresentation in such Conventions, It insists that such Con- ventions are not Democratio Conventions, be. cause the delegates do not represent Demo- cratic constituencies.
