It comes before tho Senate scarce half made-up, and that so lamely that the dogs would bark at it if It was worth their while. It would have been less humillating to the putative paternity of this scheme for tho de- monetization of greenbacks if the resolution had been allowed to dic a natural death In the committes-roont. After andaccouchement of soveral weeks’ duration, it was found in- possible to secure a certificate of birth from f{ infority of thea Finance Comittee, though o clear majority of that Com- inlttee belong to the old-schdo!, harad- money practice. Beck, Alllson, Ferry, and ‘Voorhees voted against It, and Jones, who would alse.have voted against it, was ab- sent, As Mr. Bayard and the Wall-street godfathors could secure but four votes, the resolution fatled in committee, and then the matter should have beon permitted to rest. But Mr, Bayard was so anxious to bring Ils Dantling before the country that, he sug- gested the unusual course of recording the yote of the absent Senator Jones ngninst the resolution, {n order by this means to have the resolution reported adversely. This ‘gave Mr. Bayard the coveted opportunity for making a minority report, in which Kernan alone was willing to join unconditionally, Messrs. Morrill and Wallace were not pre- pared to commit themselves to an absolute and immediate abandonment of all legal- tender paper currency, and hence thoy more- ly indorsed n qualified assent to a possible suspenston of the legal-tender clause at some time tn the future, Itis in this humilating shape that Mr. Bayard's resolution ts presented for discus- ston, and Mr. Bayard himself confesses that thore is no hope for its passage. Thisisa very different condition from that in which tho resolution was first Introduced witha grand flourish of trumpots, It was to be a winged horse on which Mr, Bayard was to ride into the White JTouse, and ft lins become amero hobby. It waste be the bond of union between Wall street and tho South, which was to secure for Mr, Bayard and the Demo- cratic party the Electoral votes of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, which, with those of Indlana and the Solid South, were to elect him President, It was not merely to unite the Democrats, but to create confusion and dismay anong the Republicans, It ling done neither, All that Mr, Bayard has aucceaded in accom- pilshing—and that in an Irregular way—tIs to furnish tho opportunity for a long, tedious, and unprofitable debate, which can have no other Influence than that exercised by a use- less and domnging agitation, It Is not now expected that the status of the greenback will ba changed, but it is designed that the public time and public attention shull be takon up with 0 discussion that may disturb public confidence in tho present currency syatem and unsettle business, but cannot possibly saryo the public intorests, In giving the project for the demonetization of green- backs this direction, Mr, Bayard hag done na more than tho verlost demagog or rankest funatic in Congress can do at any time ho deaslres to agitate any pet theories, Tho most slgnilicant circumstauce attend- ing tho miscarriage of the Bayard resolution {s the demonstrated Impotence of tho Wall- street organs and thelr aplsh imitators in tho West. ‘The movement for the demone- tization of tho grecnbasks had ‘the united support of the “great papers” of Now York’ ‘They burted a}! partisan dliferences, and the Republican press and the Demoeratle press pulled together in the Interest of the goltd- cHque. Not a day passed but ocditorlal broadsides wero fired at Congress In sup- port of Uiis scheme, All the energy and all the ability of the New York newapapers wer concentrated to sucnre 9 fayorabla con- sideration of the Bayard resolution; hence the failure of that resolution by notably thelr’ fallure, They have falled to point out how the proposed demonetization of groenbacks {3 to ba of. any benelit to the business of ‘the country, They have falled to indicate how the repeal of the legal-tender functlon Is tomuke the greenbacks 9 better, safer, or more useful currency than they are in thelr present ‘condition. ‘‘Lhey have «failed to demonstrate that the finance system of the ‘country or tho Natlorial crodit will be ty. proved by thd proposell change.” They have Satled’ to show that the ‘greenbacks, arter emasculation, will be an efficient agent to. nyert panics or to allay panics, ‘They have failed to convince thinking men that the Government and tho banks ean protect them- selves agninstarun for coin, or protect tho people against the cornering and locking-up of the single and ingufictent legal-tender to which they proposo to reduce the country, They havo fulled to peraunde Congress that. thero is any popular demand for ine terference in the present currency system, or that the proposed change will meet with popular approval If it be made, After pros- tituting all the brains of thé New York newspapers to tho service of the money- Tenders, the united press of tho metropolis —the “big giuns”—have shot wile of the mark, and must share with My, Bayard tho humiliation of his defeat. There {s prabably no way for escaping the infliction of Mr. Bayard's speech on the legal- tender questlon, nor the other speeches which the agents of the gold-clique will make. It isnot unlikely, Indecd, that the discussion will afford certain demagogs on the other side the opportunity they are always rendly to improve for bringlng forward thelr here- sles, which are as menacing to public conti- dence ant business stability as tho machina- tions of the money-tenders, ‘There fs reason to belive, however, that between these two extreme factions the common senso of the Aterican people is suficiently represented in Congress to malntain the present uniform and equable currency system, which has stinulated new enterprise and opened the road to now prosperity, Meanwhile, the ngl- tation which My, Bayard has onideavored to inaugurate has dwindled to such small pro- portions that {ts only practical effeet will be tocliminate him completely from the Presl- dential race. THE TARIFF DUTIES ON STEEL RAILS, We have repentedly enlled attention to the extraordinary high prices demanded and ex” acted by tho Iron and steel manufacturers In this country; the average advance In the prices of nll articles, not dependent mainly on steel or fron, has not been over 30 per cent. The advance tn prices of tronand stecl ranges from 80 to 800 per cent. As these articlesare essentinis to most other muntfactures and to every branch of productive industry, the ex- actions of the ona industry have become crushing aud oppressive to all others, A few figures will exhibit the change thathastaken place in prices since last June: Junei, Jan. to, 1siih, 1880, American pig No, 1. per ton..,.. 817.50 $40.00 Amerlean fron rally, por ton... 30,00 45.00 ‘American stecl rails, perton.... 55.40 8040 Nalls, per Key. .sccscserereceseees Li 5. ‘The duty on plg fron is $7 per ton, and on steel rails $28 per ton. The American pro- ducers ara confessedly unable to meet the American demand, and the result fs that fron and steel have to be Imported. ‘The demand heing greater than thesupply, the price of all steel rails-is the price demanded by the American manufacturers, The price of steel ralls in England is the price demanded inthe United States, less the cost of transportation and the duty. Consequently the price of steel rallg at tha mills in England is about. $83 per ton Jess than the price nt tho intlls in the United States, ‘fhe consumers of steel in this country are, thorefore, paying $28 per ton more for stect rails Innded in this coun- try than they would pny if tho duty on steel tails were abolished. The tax, therefore, at the present prices of iron ts pald by ant col- lected from consumers, not only on all the steel rails made In this country, but also on all the stcel rails imported from other coun- tries, : ‘Yhere are 60,000 miles of railway in the United States, and in 187 there were over 4,000 miles of new railway constructed. ‘Cho detmnnd for ralls, and especially for steel rails, Is lucesxant and Incrensing. A taxon railway constriction 1s n tax on transporta- tion and upon the merchandlso transported, ‘The agriculture of the United States is di- reetly affected by the cost of transportation. All it produces has to ‘be carried to market; all it recelves in exchange is taxed on Its transportation. The present tax of $28 per ton on steel rails fs nn unnecessary tax upon the products of the sojl,a tax upon the whole industry of the country for the special bone- fit of a few persons sud corporations, Gov. Gear, of Towa, in his message delivered 9, day or two ago, gavo voice, to tho universal sentiment of the people of that State, and of tho West genorally, when he urged a request to Congress to repeal the duty on stect rails, He said: “To a State whose préduets are in the main agricultural, a8 ure thosy of Iowa, anything which enhances tho cost of rallways, thoroby, ovon inefdentally, in the lonst degree increasing tho oxpense of tho trinsportation of her prod- ‘ucts to tho senboard, which is ber great market, is a question of groat interest to all, In view of tholr greater strongth and durability, which loason tho cost of réplucement, all tho grout trunk railway lines of tho country aro adopting: Dessemer-steel ralts, Tho manufacture of this olnss of rails in tho United States fs controlled by a combination of not excocding-—I think— ton firms in number, This combination is protected by a high and specific turitr, which prevents the Importation of forelgn ruila to any extont, thereby inereusing the cost af the rallways of the country. Without discussing the tariff queatton in nll {te bearings, {t may well ‘be considored whethor it Is wise legislation, by 1 turlif exceptionul in ita charactor, to put im- monso profita into tho pockets of a monopoly composed of but fow persons nt tho expunse, ine directly, not only of Iowa farmors, but of tho whole West. It would, therefore, bo wall to in- atruct our Senators ani Roprosentutives in Con- grees to examine Into this subject with n viuw to |. romoving, by Conurcasionul legislation, any dis- erlmination which muy be found to oxlat In the turiff on stool rally ugninst the interoats of Iowa producers.” On this question there Is no division of partles in tho West, nor at the South. The tax on steol rulls Is equivalent to o direct tax on the farming Innde, to collect from’ them at the rate of $28 por ton for atevl rails over and above the price at which such ralls are now offered for sale. ‘Lhe Republican party {3 no longer respon- sible for tho Jexistation‘of tho country, ‘The duty on steel and iran during the six yoars following the panlo was of little concer, because both articles were produced in this country and sold at prices that forbade for- vlgn competition, Foreign pig iron ceased to be imported except in sinall quantities of particular qualitics for: specliio purposes, ‘The American manufacturers were able to produce all that was wanted, and to reap a profit at prices that did not admit of foreign competition, But now this tax has become an extortion, a robbery of the product of In- bor, a confiscation of the earnings of ludus- try, and one which Congress should prompt- ly repeal, | ‘The time for this repeal {gs now. ‘TheDom- ocratic party Is in possession of all the ma- ehlnery of legisintion, It has a controlling mojority in both branches of Congress, it controls all the committees, It Is in a posttlon to pass this Inw without dolay, and thus give relief to the whole industries of the country, ‘The Demoeratie party 1s desirous of an Issue for the Prealdential ewmpatgn, and the Dem- ocratle party hasan limmense following ber evuse of Its supposed hostility ta protection, ‘The udvocates for qualitivd frev trade, and of a tarit for revenue, cllug to the Democratic party because of its traditional polloy of un- restricted trade; the party that framed: tho turlif of 1840 and of 1857 was able to conymand the support and confidence of the American people, desyito even Its pro-slaveryism, Half the present following of the Democratic purty adheres to that, party because they hope, through It, to seen reviston of the tart! and nreturn to sound prinelples of revento tax- ation, a.

Its repeal would be halted by the whole peoplo with gratitude, and why not the Democratic majority In Congress pass the repealing lnw? Where are the Democratte tenders who have for yenrs denounced the protective policy? Where ure the Coxes, the Wonils, tho Morrisons, the Yendletons, the Voorhveses, tho Becks, and the Bayards, that not one of them has the courage and the consistency to propose the repeal of this taxon stecl rails? Had Mr, Bayard and Mr, Kernan, instead of proposing to demonetize the greenbacks, proposed the repeal of the tax on steel rails, they would have created a boom in tho popular mind that would have extended from ono end of the country to the other. If, Instead of at- tempting to repeal honest Election lnws, and attempting io tinker and destroy the only specie-paying curceney we have had for generation, they hnd proposed ‘to repeal or reduce the tax on all iron and steel,—now prime necessaries of all indus- try,—they would be hailed by the country as men having the: prinelples and the courage of statesmen, ‘There ls nota farmer in the Innd who needs nalts for his fenecs, for his house, or for his barn who would not thank the men, and whose heart would not warn to the men, who had the courage to strike down the mast oppressive taxation that was ever fmposed on the industry of a free peo- ple. Mr, Bayard, wand My. Morrison, and the other Democratic leaders, with both Monses of Congress under their control, and bucked by a large Republican vote, prefor to enter to the money-shavers, money-lenders, the stock- gamblors, and the syndientes of Wall street, rather than say one word or do one actin the interest of the farmers and the whole In- dustrial population of the country outside of Wall street. ‘The Republican Governor, and the Republican Legislature, and the Republican _ people of the Republlean State of Towa have brought this In- tolerablo tax upon thelr industry to the attention of Congress, aud asked {ts repent. Is there a respectable leader of the Demo- eratle party in Congress who will revive the only surviving policy of that party which has never failed to command support of the American people when standing on its own merits, and so foreo it upon Congress that some action must be taken thereon? Such a Democrat, who can foree his party to do an honest and beneficent act of legislation, or, falling to bring his party to that point, will exposé Is hypoerlsy and its slavish support. of monopoly, will deserve and recelye tho applause of his grateful countrymen of all classes and shades of politient opinion, Wil Mr. Bayard drop his wild scheme of demone- uzing greenhacks and force his party to action on the issue of repealing the tux on steel rails? HARPER'S WEEKLY OHANGING FRONT. t Harper's Weekly, in the current number, devotes a column of Ils space to an effort to show that the two great polltleal parties of the country are equally patriotic. Speaking of the ordinary potitical canvass, Ib says: “Binckguardism f6.callod vigor, and lying nasaee for clovorness; and when all is over, anit the hyonus huve been defeated, and victory perches upon tho banner of tho -tigers, the courae of affalra proceeds ag before, and the loudest of tho ornters would wink If you con- gratulated him upon tho escape of the State and the country from tho awful peril that ho declared to ba go Imialnent.”” But did“ the course of affairs proceed as before” {n 1861, when the hyenas were de- feated and victory. perched upon the banner of the tigers? Did not the tigers (Repub- llcans) find, when thoy assumed control of the Government, that tho “hyenas” (emo- ernts) had “scattered the navy, paralyzed tho army, and knocked the bottom out of the Treasury”? And did not the “hyenas” (Democrats) very soon “ break up the Union in anarchy”? ‘Tho Weekly says there are certalu legithnate differences between the two political partivs,—differences of composition, tendency, spirit, Intelligence, and tradition, “But,” it says, “it is not lugitimate, beeause It is not true, to allege that the peaceful con- tinuity of the Government deponds upon the success of this or of that party’? ‘The Weekty admits, in the ovent of the Govern- ment belng threatened, that questions of mere administration must bo postponed. It adits that “there is a great deal of sinoth- ered il-feelmg, 0 tradition of the War, and that {tis found wholly and only In the Demo- eratle party.” And It admits that this latter fact constitutes a sound reason for opposing tho sucecss of the Democratic party, But it declares that “it fs no reason what- ever for asserting that Democratic success would be tho triumph of a new rebellion? ‘This is bad logic, Why should a smothored M-feellng, existing wholly within the Demo- cratic party, presumably against the Govern- ment of the Nution, constitute a sound rea- son for opposing tha success of that party If In It there Is no tendeney whatever to precip {tate n now reboliion? If the smothered Ill- fecling means nothing, how is a sound reason for opposition to it to be logleally based upon it? On the other hand, if it menns anything, it ineans Just: what the Weekly vehemently asserts it doves not menn, Let us glance backward a moment. Less than a year ago the Democratic party In Con- gress threatened to starve the National Goy- ernment to death, Zarper's Weekly may re- ply: “That was to galn a politten! pulnt; it didn't carry: its threat Into effect.” True, But what was the palltient polnt sought to be gained? It was tho abolition of National nu- porvision of Congressional elections In order to enable tho Demucratle party to pack the Lower House or Congress with fraudulontly- elected members, ‘Lhe Demoacratia Congress which threatened to starve the Govermuent to denth except upon condition of being per- initted to indulge In free frauds at the ballot- box contalned a dozen Democratic members chosen by the grossest ottrages upon tho rights of Republican citizens, ‘Uhis 1s one of the ways In which the smothored Hl-feellng of the Democratle party agulust the Natlonal Covermuent showed Itself, ‘Tho majority of the Dumocratle party of the country consists of Southrons, . hoy control Demucratic policies, And there is fan’ a Southern Dem- oeratle statesman jn or out of Congress who will not, being driven to the wall, reassert the very doctrine of Btate-rights which brought about the Rebellion, Tha South went to war on the ground ‘of the suyerelgn- ty of tho States; and no. sooner were tho States brought Into subjection tothe Unlon than Southern Democratic leaders mady the soverelguty of the States the cormner-stone of the Demovratic theory of the’ Government.

The Malno Fusiontsts were guilty of thelr crowning act of folly yesterday by pretend- ing to choose Joseph L. Smith Governor of the State. It was ridiculous enough for “ Acting-Governor” Lamson to gravely go. through tho faree of appoluting a military staff when he has not succeeded in “acting”? Governor in any other particular. But tils absurd performance was completely eclipsed by ‘the Rump Legislature when it went through the forms of olecting a regular Ex- ceutive. ‘The Rump House met and élect- ed by unnninows yote to present to the Sennte the two names of Sinith and Gar- celon; then the Rump Senate met and chose hy unnnfinous vote the nume of Sinith; then the two Rumps met in Joint convention, and unanhuously elected an Exeestive Counell. Taving done all this, the situation remains precisely what it was before tho comedy was wayed. The Fusion House claimed the right to proceed with its part of the election of Gov- ernor by reason of having seventy-six “ mem- bers,” or Just a quorum. In order to get this quorum, tha Rump had: gone further than Gareelon and his Couneil went. ‘he Tump proceeded, without testimony or In- vestigation, to unseat two Republicans who liad regular certifieates from Garcelon, and who had already been recognized and ad- mitted as regular members, in order to make room for two additional Demoeratle consplr- ators who had received no cortifientes, Te other words, members who were not elected voted to admit othor members who were not elected and to unseat other members who were elected, ns a ineans for obtaining a “Iawful” quorum. Never was legistative government brought Into such utter eon- tempt as by these praceedings. If it wero posslblefor them to prevail, popular goyern- ment would become the laughing-stock of the world. ‘This new net In the conspiracy Is really of very little consequence, exeept us iustrat- ing the depravity and desperation of those concerned init, Itmatters net whether the hogus “Gov?
