TIE WIG TARIFF, COARSE WOOL.

The burden of the Locoloco speeches'here
and hereaboucs has been that the duty on
coarse wools''. was so Low, as to leave the
home producer of that article without any real
protection at all In this way, these ignorant
or knavish-just as they choose TO have it
politicians sought to work upon the preludic-
IS of the Farmers, and induce them to follow
THEIR lead in pulling down the present adr>i-
rable tariff law. in the hope and expectation
OF getting something better But what are
the facts respecting coarse wool! Why &C
cording ts a table prepared at the Treasury
Office, it appears that so far from the impor-
tatien Of the foreign article having increased
under this low duty, it has absolutely fallen
off more Than one half during The past gear!

Home Market.

The subject of providing home mar
ket for our own products, is more and
more engrossing public attention. II
is to be regretted that it has not before
received that attention it so Justly merits.
The advocates of Free Trade, viz, the
Locos, in their efforts to fasten their ru-
nous system upon the nation, seem to for
get that every consideration calls for
home market. If we open our country
for the Importation of those articles we
can raise and manufacture, free of duty,
or only a nominal one, the effect is at once
readily seen. Destruction follows every
interest, and the wealth of the nation is
the forfeiture. The policy Of Great Brit
ain has ever been to exact the greatest
possible amount Of duty upon articles
coming into competition with those raised
upon her own soil, or the result Of her
manufacturing establishments. Duties
amounting in effect to complete prohibit
ton have been laid for this object. She
has been justly termed, the workshop OF
the world" And what has sustained
Great Britain with the enormous burden
of debt resting upon her shoulders How
is it that she sustains her credit to the ex-
tent she does all over the world? No
other way than by persevering in the pol
icy she has ever acted upon, that of pro-
tecting herself, and every branch of indus
try connected with her immense Popula-
ton. The products of her own soil meet
with a ready market at home. Who
ever heard of ship loads of Butter, Pork,
Beef, &c, coming from England to
America? Such thing would in truth
be a rarity. Those cool, sagacious men,
who rule England, know that no nation
can be prosperous that destroys that in
terest or branch of industry, that makes
market for he products of the soil
Hence the tariff they lay, varying from
100 to HOO per cent. upon the products
of any other nation. Did they but open
their ports as free of duty for imports, as
our Loco friends wish ours to be, they
would a. once ruin their own agricultural
interest, and of course, that upon which
every nation must depend for prosperity
and power.
The necessity of creating home mar
market to them is perfectly obvious. But
not only this, but they will keep this home
market; and no advances any nation may
make to them, will influence them to give
up this power they possess. In this, they
are wise, and we ask if the policy of pro-
tecting their own different branches of in
dustry is thus persevered in By England
why should it not be by us, as nation
Ifthey will not submit to the destruction
of their home market, by the introduction
of foreign commodities, why should we

case, for the application of the principle
of protection why not in the otherl ills

House OF REPRESENTATIVES, May 80,
Messre. Gales g. Seaton The interest
which feel, in common with the citizens of
Pennsylvania, on the subject ofthe Tariff and
the Protection of American labor, induced
me to make an inquiry Of Gen. HARDIN rela-
tive to the views of Col. Polk, the recently
nominated candidate for the Presidency, on
the subject of the Tariff. His answer to that
inquiry, which he has been SO good as to fur
uish me in writing this morning, presents the
facts in relation to Col. Folks views on this
all-absorbing topic in such an important light,
that respectfully ask for them the people of
Pennsylvania and the whole Union that atten-
ton which they deserve, and have no doubt
will receive; and therefore request you to
do me the favor to publish the enclosed letter
of Gen. Hardin.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.

A FRESH CRUMB FORTnELOCOS

The Repdblic, a decided and able
Free Trade, Texas, and generally "dem-
ocratic" paper--sympathising with that
party OH all the questions of leading
interest, thus throws up its hand for the
coming contest. After mentioning the
nomination of Mr.. POLK, it says:
"The question out Of doors now is,
whether the ratification of this vote will
be as unanimous among The rank and file
of the Democracy twill the cry "to fol-
low our leaders, be allowed to sway their
impulses and decide their movements
We think not. We do not believe that
the tardy nomination of man so little
known, and, therefore, so little calcua-
ted to interest the sympathy of the Demo-
cratic party. will be either generally ac-
cepted or respected"
"The political campaign is now fairly
commenced but the contest will be both
feeble and unsteady, from the inequality
and incongruity of the forces that will be
engaged and no impartial spectator Of
the conflict can long entertain doubt
upon which helm will wave the plume Of
victory. The harmony, the decorous or
der which prevails among the Wings,
must lead them On 10 Triumph, as surely as
the dissension and irreconcilable difieren-
ces of the Democrats must conduct them
to defeat. But let them be consoled by
the poetic assurance that sweet are the
uses of adversely and the rough counsels
they will necessarily take of their dssap~
pointment will enable them 10 find on an
other trial that sure, safe way which
they have this time missed. We allow
ourselves TO speak Of Mr.. Clay's election
with the certainty which present appear
ances warrant, and which nothing zoe can
imagine lciH prevent.

REFORM OF ABUSES. Numerous petitions
are being presented to Congress on the sub
iect of the Naturalization Laws; and there
has been some preliminary discussion in the
senate in which desire to reform abuses
has been generally expressed; though there is
considerable opposition to the extension oil the
naturalization laws. Now we hold it TO be ut
tcrly impossible for a foreigner who does not
understand orr language, and who probably can
neither read nor write, to acquire sufficient
knowledge of the principles Of our government
in five wears, TO become an intelligent elector
of public officers. Such voters may suit the
interests of demagogues, who are reckless Of
the means SO they can attain power, but they
are not calculated to advance the interests OF
the country. 1t is perfect farce 10 swear a
man TO support a constitution which he has not,
and perhaps cannot read-and yet how many
persons are IN this manner converted into citi-
xens. Have We as Americans, lost all self
respect, that We thus hold out Inducements to
emicrants mo matter whether criminals or
paupers,) to settle amongst us, and participate
in the election of our public officers, and in the
regulation of our government? We say TO
members of Congress, that temporizng mea-
sures will not answer on this subject There
is spirit abroad ia this landau .ln,ercan spi-
rit-which will compel obedience to its requi-
sitions: the same spirit which governed ouI
forefathers in the trials and struggles Of the re-
yolution. 1t requires that the elective fran.
chise shall be freed from the faint of foreign
criminals and vagabonds, aud all foreign iiau
ence. Senator Archer takes the true stand
and breathes the true American spirit. HI
said. in the senate on Tuesday-"lor his owl
part, he was for no looping of abuses. Fl

The mischief was Of that enormty, in his view
and peril, that he would listen to no remed

Cor. BENroN's Bill. The Madisonau as
sails Col. Benton because he will not give his
sanction to the administration project of inmc-
Giaaa!g annexing Texas TO the United States,
without regard to the claims Of Mexico or TO
principles OF propriety. We are opposed to
annexation in any form, and under all circum-
stances; for we believe that it will not be of
advantage to this country to enlarge her terri
tory-but, if we must have Texas, let us ac-
quire it fairly and hoaoraby, as is proposed in
Col. Benton's bill. There is no necessity TO
act Preciptate,y, as is urged by the Madiso-
man; especially, as by such conduct we may
find ourselves involved in runous war. But
perhaps wal is the very thing most desired by the
administratiou-and, indeed, the course pur-
sued towards Mexico would seem to indicate
the existence of such Il disposition; for the
languuge used towards her by our minister, has
been most gross and insulting. Our president
appears to act upon the principle which some
times governs men in ordinary lIe--that is, TO
kick those who are supposed to be incapable OF
making resistance. 1t is mean principle, III
consistent alike with dignity aud justice; aud
unbecoming free government We do not
believe that either the president or the editor
of the Madisonian will be gratitied IN their de-
sires; for we have no doubt that tho project OF
immediate annexation will not be sanctioned
during the present session of congress.

THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 10, 1914.

REPUTATION AND outrage. Some of the
people Of Hartford county are obtaining an un-
enviabe notorieiy by their outrages and open
deiauce Of law; but if tlley expect that, by
such ononstrous proceedings they IAN enforce
population in that county they will fad them
dsgraced-nor is hers the soil where outrage
aud violence will thrive If the present law
be hot Sufficient to enforce the payment OF
state taxes and to punish those who maltreat
the executors of the law, it must DO made
more rigid and comprehensive.
We publish in another column a letter from
correspondent at Bel-Air, Hartford county,
which gives an account of most dsgraceful
scene which occurred in that village on Satur-
day last. 1t shews that the same spirit Of dis
organization and violence exists with some of
the people of that county, which has set the
laws at defiance in New York. In truth this
spirit is rapidly extending in various sections
OF the country, and must bo forcibly subdued,
or it will annihilate all law. ''Lynch law
will not be tolerated in Maryland, nor will the
dishonest doctrine Of Reputation be sanctioned
by any man Of honorable principle.
The letter which we publish is from a re-
spectacle scarce. The writor characterizes the
Transaction in proper terms; and, had he fur
nish5d the names Of those concerned in the
