This being the first paper we have issued since
the arrival of the veto message. we publish that
document. We find nothing IN il tn change. in the
least, the opinions we have heretofore expressed
that a veto was uncalled for and lnexpedient. The
labor ofthe country imPcriously demands protection
and no stone should be lcG uniuned to attain the
Inject. We now hope TO see Congress turn its o..
icn'ion TO protection IN It's most practicable form
aud one which is least Objectionable to any portion
Of the people lfihat fails. Congress will have done
