THE CAUSE OF PROTECTION.

We ere happy TO discover by what see com
ing from Washington that better feeling is ac'u

present session of Congress, were hostile 10

iuary questions with The ocos gradually yield.
inp. and will vote with their Northern Wing
brethren for Protection. This change has been
effected by the stir among the People and the OIL
forts and arguments ofthe Protection Wings III
Congress, whose labors to secure this result have
been unwearied.
At the same time, undescryed blame has been
beaped upon lhem by faint hearted Wings Qhis
thew would expect from Locofocns, OF course,)wh
could not understand the herculean task that was
resting uyon them And for this reason the
Tariff question has been delayed, while important
Reforms and Retrenchments have been pushed
forward, and an amount of business transacted not
exceeded by any Congress for ten years
rho prospec, grows brighter daily that the
present Congress will give us good Protective

Tyers conscience that they might persuade him TO

wooL-TnE PROPOSITION TO PRO

As we have said before, do not pretend to
understand the matter well enough to judge cor
reotly, whether the proposition in Mr.. Satonstails
New Tariff Bill to protect wool is sufficient or not
The proposition is this-26 cents tax on dollars
worth of wool imported exceeding in value 8 cents
per pound, aud cents per pound in addition
That is, ifthe wool be worth one mill over
cents--thls double tax amounts TO about "a per
cent on a dollars worth of this sort of wool. This
is certainly much better Protection than 20 per
cen,--the highest amount any locofoco member of
Congress pretends 10 favor So, that, Wing Pro-
lection is 81 per cent better than ocofoco protec-
tion on Wool.
If the wool be worth 25 cents per pound at the
place Of export. double the ad valorem and per
pound tax amounts 10 a Protection OF DC per cent.
IF the bill should be changed by the introduction
of the home valuation and the inclusion therein OF
The coarsest wool--as we have reason to hope il
will belt will be deemed more perfect

M,oury FRIENDLY We know of several loco
foco papers that try very hard to make some OF
their readers believe that they are favorable to
Protective Tarif-and show their friendship by
finding fault with evory possible proposition for
Tarff-it is not equal or it is unequal or 1t Is
something else-all Of which proves, pretty clear
~, that they are for nothing. This truly, Is a
singular way of showing friendship for Protection
BUTT answers very well for those who like TO
be humbugged.

RETRENCiiMENT.

The Rotrenchment Committee OF the House has
been and is constantly aud industrously engaged
in searching out and correcting abuses IN the vari
ous departments of the Government, touching ex
nend,,ures and allowances. Ofthis fact their 70
ports, already made, give abundant evidence. We
propose briefly the results, as far as the re
ports have been already published.
Military allowances On the 7lh March the com
mittee eported $l03, SS2 to have been allowed on
account of brevet pay and emoluments between
4,h March 1887 and Jan. J., 1912; lists of officers
not hauing command Of troops who received add
uonal or double returns from 1889 to 1912, show
ing $7l ,46S have been paid in two years in this
way; lists of officers receiving allowances for
more than one Office at the same time, in the same
PERIOD showing $25 694 thus allowed also extra al
lowances of $4,746; and also list Of army de
faulters. The Committee asked leave to sit during
the session of the House and send for persons and
papers, which was granted, and the Investigations
on this subject are TO be continued. a17f ea
Mileage On 17th March the Committee repor
ted bill regulating the payment to the Senators
and Members for mleuge, which reduces the mile
age Of the Senate $13 ,594 40, and of the House
$27, e4l 60-saving Sal ,436 by the proposed scale
Of mileage. The committee further propose to re
duce the pay for mileage fourth, making total
saving Of $77 i s 30 per annum.
Franking Privilege. On the 10Th March the
| committee reported bill abolishing the franklne
privilege as to the members and officers of Con
gress. The annual saving to tho Post Office De
partment by abolishing the ranking privilege en-
,irey is estimated at $3.50, 1872. What the saving
