The probibitionists in the Honse of Repre- sentatives, who were having everything their { oOWD way in fixing the rates under the new tariff, seem to haye received a check on Satar- say. Thus, the proposition of Mr. O'Neill, | of Pa., to increase the duty on hardware from 45 to 60 per cent. ad valorem. was yoted down, as Were several other propositions of the same character. But the protectionists are still strong, the representatives of the wool growers of the West, the iron men of Pennsylvania, and the manufactures of New England, Bay- ing apparently formed an alliance, offensive and defensive, against the “tariff for revenue.” whom they style “free trade men.” A certain amount of protection may be necessary to foster American indus- trial int ts, but then it is very easy toover- shoot (he mark until legislation, ostensibly for the public good, merges into legislation for the benefit of the few, which may be burdensome and oppressive to the mass of the people. Then . there are palpable imconsistencies in the action of Congress on this subject. Take the single article of railroad iron. The last increase of duty—irom 6) to 70 cents per 100 pounds—was granted because of the internal revenue tax of the same amount on the do- stticle. The tax, however, payable in eney, the duty gi gold.

Whether you are 4 candidate for President or not, and if you are not. I shall be greatly surprised with the wonderful favor that has crowned your restoration policy. you should net allow the grect oflice to go to indifferent men, or those clearly in the interests of your toes. I need not repeat to you tha: i am now, SS ever, for twenty years shown in my writings, and since your great act of pa- triotiem in 1S60 especially, your open and avowed friend. Where I am to-day my two Bewspapers both daily show to the world. Henee, in what I now say, I speak no idle werds, but mean all 1 say.
