dreds like 1.-THE wing manufacturers and their
wing presses say, Let the tariff of 1912 remain, like
the laws of the Modes and Persians, unchanged
We cannot assent to this proposition. We go
honestly for a change. We go for reducing the
tariff to the revenue standard.
Tomorrow we shall begin the regular discussion
OF the whole subject. An able correspondent will
take the matter in hand He begins by correctly
defining our position: "If understand your views,
as expressed in the columns of the 'Union you are
in favor of revenue tariff, and against protective
tariff and are, therefore, in favor Of the reduction OF
the present tariff (Which is more highly protective
in its provisions than any former one ever enacted
in this country to the revenue standard" This is
our position, as it is that of our correspondent

We beg leave to suggest, in reply to a late article
in the "St. Louis Republican," that the correctness
of the grounds on which the editor of that paper &C
cuses Mr.. Bancroft Of having acted in ''bad faith
respecting the late contract for hemp may be tested
by the following facts The hemp TO which the
Republican aludes, was procured under a contract;
offers for which we're invited by advertisement dated
April 49, opened the I'd of June, and accepted on
the 10th Of June last. Tho Secretary's letter to
Com. Morris, directing the course to be pursued in
making future purchases, is dated the 18th of July
last, or than month after the purchase was
made, of which the Republican" complains.

THE MONUMENT TO JACKSON

The following eloquent address to the people Of
the United States Ito which have cordially sub
scribed our name, without sharing the honor of its
composition supersedes the necessity of any elabo
rate appeal from our own pen. We 60 for the OBJ
ject il proposes heart and hand tits due respect
to the memory of one of the first men, not only of
his country, but of his age-a patriot. whose SER
vices have shed never-dying lustre upon our
military fame and upon our civil institutions
whose death has covered whole nation with
mourning, and drawn from the lips of almost count
less orators the warm enlogium which is due to his
services and his merits. II is well to do justice to
the benefit of posterity, and to cherish the fame Of
generous emulation in the hearts of men, Washing
toms statue is about to be erected by Congress.
The gratitude and the honor of the nation demand
it. Then will it be said that Congress have re-
deemed the recorded pledges Of their iustrious pre-
decessors, and paid due respect to the who was
first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts Of
his countrymen." The statue of Jefferson should
also be erected to do honor to the author of the Dec
laration Of American Independence, and one of the
first statesmen of the age. The appeal is now made
to the people, in behalf Of another of their iustrous
benefactors, whilst the heart still throbs with graft
tude and reverence over the tomb in which his re-
mains have been SO recently deposited. 1t is impos-
sbe that it should not succeed, if the proper
tons made to receive the contributions of ma
TONS feelings. The committee of this city are de-
termned to do their duty; and the following address
is the first offering which they lay upon his shrine.
They have framed wise instructions for the agents
whom they are about to appoint. Let those agents
cooperate with its friends everywhere and the work
