CLLARLES CATLIN, Bocralnry: “FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1831, Tenn were by nestal coutt, according to the oflicial.roll, but 100 delegates {n tho Tarltt *Conventlon, Une-yuarter of these were from Chicago, Some of them were “representa tive” buslness-men, stich as Mr. John ¥. Setglan, who wes put down es representing “type? Otters wore distillers, and had far more interest tn reduchig the taxes on whisky than in Increasing those on fron and steel, There were paper men, from Apple- ton, Wis, attd potters from Canton, O., and cotton ant iron mantfacturers from Georgln, and ¢ coaldenler from Chieago; but, on the whole, it must be confessed, it was not an imposing array of the solld mon of this country, Onn of the nltra-tariff resolutions reads: Resolved, ‘That our Natlonal intornalsrovonua + taxes abould be gradually reduced with a view to tele extinguishment within « reasonable pe- riod. ‘The meaning of this resolution ts to trans- fer the revenue ttow derived from whisky to tho distillers and Haquor-sellers—inako o gift of i$ to those distressed and deserving elnsses of sufferers; and afler haying thus stripped the Government of fifty inllilons of dollars o year increase the tariff on consumers toninke good the deticit~tho object being to enable special classes to raise their prices on con- suners to the same ainount ag the tarlif was increased. This is whnt may be called pro- tectlon run wild, WARNER Mitten, Conkling's successor In the Senate, ig Ikely to be the President of the Tarif! Convention In New York the 80th jnst., and the ines of that city imagines he may have the game obtuseness of under- standing that Mr. Grinnell exhibited In the Chieago convention. Aly, Grinnell contd not understand why a few wealthy manufact- urers should haven monopoly in the sale of steel rails, and thereby lavy 0 tax on tho transportation interests, and, Indirectly, upon agriculture and all other Industrial pursilts in this country, Mr. Warner Miller, white pretty stiff protectionist In the inatter of ‘wood pulp, has incondlary notions about tho tariff on chemicals, somo of which are his raw materials, We strould not be surprised if Mr, Siler, ylolding to nn Imperative duty, should brandish a “firebrand” In the New York convention in the shape of a demand tor the reduction of the duty on chemleals, Then, if the bookbinders, printers, publish- ers, and nowspapers—all of which are manu- facturerashoull move for a reduction of tha duty on ground wood, which is not “an infant industry,” the honors of the occasion would be onsy, —_—_—— ‘Tue ultra-protection convention had much tosay in {ts apoeches and resolutions about she necessity of reviving our mercantile marine on the ocean which. hag been killed ay too much tariff, ‘Thera was only one plan, however, proposed, and thot was to plunder the taxpayer to butld and sail alilps, -Nobody oxpiatned where. they would get cargoes after they were subsidized, An American commercial marine on the high seas could only be maintained by a foreign export trade, Ameriea’s foreign commerce is conflued to the products produced by the farmers, Subsidized Amerlean ships would compel the American farmers ta. pay to the American shipowners -the same freight ug that charged by forelgn vessels, and In addition thereto a per cuplta ‘tax to ‘make good tha subsidy, Will that spay? If it costa the-American -farmer 25 ‘cents a, bushel now to get hig grain from an “ Atlantio part to 4 foreizn market, will it be “economy to compel him to pay five cents a . bushel more for tho privilege of sending his satufl in American ships manned ‘by aliens? “But the foreign trade of Amértcati yosgels will necessurlty be ‘confined’ to this ‘bingle ‘class of freight sa long as an: exorbitant tariff shall be maintained on manufactures, Duties of 50 per cent on Imported goods ralse the price of American gouds of tho ‘same grade by the amount of the protection, or nearly 60," ‘The Awerfcan goods cannot be sold in forelgn markets at 40 per cent, or THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1881—TWELVIE ‘PAGES, any per cent, Increase over tho goutls of En- gland, France, Gormany, ot Belgium, No amiount of substdy to Ametican ships, no now privileges ur benctits to American slipbuitders, will operate to furnish ear. goes of <Amerienn manufactures for on foreign trade under such conditions, and ft will never be possible to bulld up an-Atmor- Jean mercantile marine without eargocs which ean ba sold or exchtinged abrond for tho products of other countries; and the protectlonists ara flereely opposed to tho manufactures of foreign countries being ad- tultted at our ports, uo matior whether ear ried tn American or forelgn ships, ‘Their doctrine fs prohibition when you get down to the bone, The shipbullders, aud all othor protected Industries In. this country, must mako thelr choles between n monopoly of the home market and equal partictpation in the forcign markets. ‘They cannot enjoy both, They caunot ent thelr cake and keep it too, ‘The American people are not going to add subsidy to prohibition for the benefit of protectod class which offers no compon- antion in the enlargemont of American com- merce, Osr of the resolutions of the swbsidly-pro- tection convention rents: Seeondty~Lhe United States should moko Amorican vessels the catriors of Amerlunn mails nt rates propyrtionate ta the Valug of the serve lee performed, without regard to the rates nt which foreign veasols subsidized by tholr own Governments may be willing to curry thet. ‘Tho Amorten matis are those carried from one Amerlean post-offles to nnother. ‘Tho foreign malls are those carrled from Amer- {enn ports to forelan ports and from foreign to American ports. ‘The resolution, therefore, doesw’tapply tothe forelgn ninils, and isashiot In the alr ated at nothing, But the writer probably Intended to ndyocate some kind of stibstdy to Americin vessels running to for- eign ports, We havo several hundred snil vessels which ply between American and foreign ports, Is it proposed to convey the foreign iinils on them? We have some seam: ers which steam between New York and Hinvana, Thoy are now patd for carrylic the foreign mail, to Cuba at: the rate of S610 per ton for letters, aud a liberal rate for jwwspapurs, ‘The resolution says that “the Amorican vessels should be paid: in propor- tion to the vnluo of the service.” ‘The value of the service for ocean letter malls Is, wo believe, two cents per Nalfounce, ‘This amount would be paid to American steam- ers without regurd to the rates nt which for- eign vessels may be paid by thelr own Goy- ernments, ‘Two evnts asinge letter is the established value of the service from Amer- lean ports te al! the nations in the Intern tlonal-Postal Union, which embraces nearly oll the world, . Mn. Davin Il, Mason js fully satisfied that n tari! for revenue {fs ‘ unconstitu- tlonal,” nud bases his extraordinary postu- Inte on the following, which 1s the first enu- morated * power of Congress”; Aut. 1, Sec, 8, Tho Congress shall have powor to levy and colloct taxes, dutiog, nnd exelses to ny tho debts and provide for tle suminott do- Fonse and guneral welfare of the United States, but all duties, jmposts, and excised shall be unl- forin throughout tho United Btates, ‘Yhe proposition of Mr. Mason involves by necessity a nuniber of conclusions, any of which will convict him of bud logic and ex- tremely feoble reasoning powers. For If it Js unconstitutlotial to have n tari for reve- hue ina large degree, it 1s equally uiconstl- tutional to have o tariff for revento tua amall degree. ILence tho raising of any rev- cnhue by duties on. imports fs “un constitutional” the neglect to ftn- puse duties is equally “ unconstitu- tonal’; oatd the fillure to pro- hibit importations by a tariff is unconstitu- tonal”? But, if this is whnt the fatners in- fonded, 1 would have been much shmipler for them to provide tint there should be no Importations into the United States. ‘The power to levy duties “to pay the debts of the Uniled States’ Js platnly Inconsistent with the theory of the eecentric Mason that duties were designed to be solely prohibit- ory. Since tariffs were Invented thore nover wasn clearer case of the substitution of cause for elfect than in Mr, Mason’s theory that the object of dutles is to prevent rev- enue, If this were the casa the tarlit pro- hibitlonists would have to confess that they were in favor of carry on the Government wholly without revenues, for, a8 they have declared their hostility to the Internal revenue taxes, they have left no other source of income to the Governmentexcept the tariff, The plan of governing 60,000,000 people withont cost fs an ndimirable one in some re- spects, but it Involves a sacrifice on the part of 90,000 officeholders, 25,000 soldiers, 10,000 sallors, and 500,000 snbsidy-hunters, nore or less, which they have nover hitherto ex- hibited nor shown the least disposition to cultivate, Tue proceedings in the Guiteau ease thus far, and the attitude of the Court toward It, show that the prisoner will. not only haven fair trial, but also that there will. be nu un- necessary delny and no trickery by teehni- calitics and quibbles, and that the Interests of the prosecution will also be guarded, Con- trary to the general expectation, na fury fins been Impaneted much more expeditiously than could hnve been done in this State and inany othors, under tho broad and equitnbly ruling that a knowledge of the details of the asaasination obtained from newspapers, and an opiuton formed upon thot knowlege, were not disqualificatons for jury serviee, pro- vided that the Juror would take oath that he could rendor an impartial verdict. Under this ruling the Jury was enslly obtained with- out having to recrult St. from. tramps or ig- noramuses, The Jury having been fmpanuled and the case opencd by the prosecue tlon, tio Infamous wretch on tril comm- menead the proxratu of felgned Insanity by obstroperous conduct und noisy interfer- ences, without rebuke fram hisawn counsel, who were apparently willing ho should have tho widest latitude in hts indecent exhibl- tlons, that the jury, with such a spectacle be- fore them, might be convinced they wore ealied to pronounce upon a erazy man, and that ovidotce was unnecessary. ‘The con- temptible trick, however, was thwarled by the Court, who sternly Inforner the trickster, aud Indirectly his counsel, that If there were any furthor mant{estations of that surt he would have hin removed from the. court- room heneeforward and continue the case without hlm, aa it was not neceayary for him to be there, ‘The miserable pretender was not so crazy that ho did not instantly percélye the incaning of the Courts ruling and the disadvantage m which he would be placed ware he to be contned to hie cell while his triad progressud, « fe at once apol- oxizad nnd conducted himself after his re- buke more quietly and decently, and we slinlt probably hear less of his antles hereaftar, while he wilt be cut off from his plan of helplug his counsel's plea of Insanity by sim. uluting the actions of a lunatic for elfeut upon the jury, . ———————— ‘Tie steol-rail pool had a ring In the nose of the Mesolutions Committee of the wtra- protection convention, and they twisted the convention around ‘thoir fingers like a tow- string, ‘Cho great lowa sheep-breader, Mr. Grinnell, lutroduced a resolution to find out about the dolugs of tha stest-rall combina- tion who enjoy the double protection of « pas tent monopoly and 125 per cent special taritt protectlun, The committee make this alin pery and dishonest reply to the Iowa farm- er's Inquiries; Resolved, that beng an inquiry for informa. tion reintive to the condition and maungemont of n specie Industry inderclreuinstances grows Ing outof the patent huwa, and not tho tari awa, It is not the province of this comunittec to present tho resulunon to this convention, ‘hey: tharefore refor it tu tho Presidtout of the Bosse> mer Steel Company Uimitod) for_the informa- tlon desired (n such resolution.

Tho Bossemor process was orlgtunlly a patent owned in England, whore It was first employed, Long before the Amoriean man- ufactuters made 8 rall, the price in England had fallen to 855 por tons nnd the prices of stich rails in Enginnd have ranged from $20 to $4 for several years. “Ilow hins. “ protec- tlon’? and “American competition ? reduced. the price of steal raits In this country? [kis something new that the cost of constructing railronils ling nothing to do with the cost of transportation, and {t Is no wonder that Mr, Grhinoll repudiated as a farmer thls most glaringly lying assertion, When this resolu- tlon was rend, the report of the proceedings Buysi Mr. Grinnell, of Towa, entored hie protest fyainet tho conclusion to which tho Committec ou Resolutions had coine, tht only the niliwiys wore interusted In tho wnatter of the cost of éteol rails, Ho thought such m conclision was unjust, and was convinced thnt fh thut respeat the roportot tho cominittes would not be satis- factory to the agticuitural community, and ea. peclally in tho wrent agricultural State of Iowan. Nor will the conclusions of the convention benny mory satisfactory in other partiou- fars fo the people ut the country, or the great unprotected rgricultural community whose only share under a protective system is to pay the bounties and subsidtes to the great monopolies, —_—_—_—— THS NEXT NaTIONAL CONVENTION, ‘The Republlean National Gominittes has not obeyed the Instructions of tha last Na- tlonal Convention with reterenes to the call for the conyyntion of 1831, The rule of tho Chiengu Convention provided that the Na- Honat Connnittes shold: “within: the next twelve months” preseribe methods or rules for thé selection of délegates to tha National Convontion to bo huld {n 188 “announce the sae to the country,” and Issue a onll for tliat convention in conformity therewith, “provided that such methods or rites shall Include and secure to the severtl Congres slonal districts: in the United States the right to olect their own delegates to the Na- tonal Convention,” Up to this tne the committes has done nothing decisive, unless the furmal recogni- tion of tha instruction of the Natlonal Cun- vention concerning district representation may bo 6o considered, On this point the following resolution has been unanimously adopted and announced: Resolved, That, in accordance with the order -of the Republican Nationul Conyoution of 1830, the call for the convention of 1884 stall provide for scouring to tho several Congressional dls- tricta the right to elytt their own delegates to such Nationn! Convention; that tho details of tho methods vr rules to be fielded in sob call shall be dutorinined ata future mooting of tha committgo to be beld within one yeur from this date; nud that the whole subject bo now re- ferred to n committees of five, who slinll inako roport nt auch mectlaz. ‘The sub-committeo appointed under this resolution is composed of Chandler of Now Uampshire, Platt of New York, Forbes of Massachusotts, Martin of Kansas, and Filley of Missourl—tlires antlthird-termers and two third-termers, Hut Uhree plans havo been subinitted to the committes for consileration, One of these, submittad by Gorham, with charnetoristic ef- frontery proposed to ignore the explicit in- strtictions of the Inst Nation! Convention, and to letyo tha inethod of appointing dele- gates to the disorction of “the Republicans in each State.” ‘This hinpudent assertion of the oxploded State-sovoreignty theory of Boss reprosentation {n the Natlonnl -Convention may be deemed to have received its quictus in the resolution of the committee unanl- mously adopted and above given, Mr. Martin, of Kanans, proposes to give each district one delegate, each State four delegates-nt-large, aud one additional dele- gate for every 12,000 votes polled for Pres!- dent in 1880, or fraction of over one-half that number, which would make the membership of the convention, on tho basis of the present Conwress, 810, ‘This plan is congistont with the Instructions of tho Inst convention, and is entitled to respectful consideration. The manifest objection to It is that It leaves too mitch of the oli! Boss system standing. ‘Thore {s no -suMulent reason why there should be four delegates-nt-large, representing the two. Senators from wach State, and only one dele- gato to represent cach Congressional - dis- trict. ‘Lhe scheme to have the additional delegates (in proportion to the Republican yote) appointed by n Boss convention at tho State Cupital Is highly objectionnble. More- over, Mr, Martln has put his ratlo absurdly low. According to this plan, for example, the representation of the fargo States would be as follows: Dit Senae — Addl- trict, © wurlal, — Uonat.

Subsidy Js the only balin that will heal the bleeding wounds of those long-suffering martyrs of the protective sys- tem, Ono Fuller, of Maine, representing a ship bulldiny port, in complaining of the "shame {ul neglect of the American commercial ma- ting by tho Natlonat Congress,” snid that the shipbullders “unly ask for the same ratio of protection that Js ‘accorded to tho other In- dustrles of this country.” If tho National Congress wore to tuke Mr. Fullerat his word, there would bo great tribulation and exceed- ing lamentation among the people for whom Fuller spoke, The shipbullders would not be content with the samy treatment accorded to other industrles, “hoy would thon be protected, it Is true, by duties ranging from W per cont on woud pulp to 125 per cent on steol rails. «As itis now, thoy have tho nbso- Jute protection of prohibition, No specific nor ad valorem duty on -tho product of the shipbuilding fndustry, no matter how large, could possibly furnlah: the sane munrantes against competition, or the game broad privilege of fixing thelr own prices, wich ts provided by the Government {nnlbition of the purchase of foreign aliips. ‘Thore is no other pursult to-whloh tho doe- tring of protection {s so completely applied. In the tron or steol business, for instance, the manufactured articles ean bo purchased abroud, or the raw muterlal brought from across the sea, or evon the brick and mortar with which to construct a mill for enrrying onthe business upon paymentoft high dutles, People wha are willig ta pay tha dutles nasussedl by tho Government can buy anything and averything abrond,with the single ox- coption of ships, ‘Tho shipbutldors haya an absolute monopoly,in thelr line, and control: the entire transportation business of: tho American rivers, Inkes, bays, and constlng trade, It is preposterous, then, to maintain that they would bo satiated If plneed upon the simo plauo with other protected Indus- tries; nnd when they cry for more benefits, there fs only ono thing to bo added to their store--viz.: Government subsidy, A number of Items were enumerated by Mr, Fuller, Mr. Rogers, and other spenkers, and incorporated In tho resolutions adopted by theconvention, which may bo conceded In whole or in part without’ affecting the ques: on of subsidy or protection, If {61s an un- necessary hardship to require the payment of threo months' wages at 825 a month to senmen, who are neatly all altens, whon dis: charged in forelgn ports, generally of thelr own country, lot that provision of law be re- peated, If tho totnaxe tux of 30 centa per ton was a War imeasure, let It besurrendered along with tho few other war taxes on other business which remaln, Hut it scoms somewhat unreasonable to ask (iat Amerteun-bullt ships engaged in tho cousting or lake trade bo relieved of ull State, municipal, and local taxes, sines such an ox- empdon would diacrhatnate agalust all othor property as muchas the exemption of church possessions, But lt might be proylded that Amoriean vessels plying between Amuriean and foreign ports should be exempt from Jocal taxation of the American port, In order that thoy shoutd bear no burden not suatalyed by forelan ships, All these details, however, are {usigutitcant as compared with the main issues of prohibition and substdy, and there will be no trouble ty securing Amertean ships all the Goverimont favors they desire, if the shipbullders will give up thelr mo- nopoly and quit thelr subsidy bexaing. The arguments which are used agaluat, “free shivs” may all be turned agalust the subsidizing policy. Fuller, of Maine, says that American ships would ba miamied and sailed by alien foreigners. But thy would be no more the easa if Wh were permiited to buy alips abroad than (ily now. ‘tho Amer- jeans will no longer gu before the mast; more congenial oecupations and better vay are open to thom, Hotnco it cannot: bo claimed!
