PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

nerae on This subject, on account oil Inc larii
propensi,ies Of the Northern Democracy, W.
have thought il interesting 10 colate The opinions
OF the Northern Democratic papers upon 'hi'
, distinct point
In the first place all The Democratic papers II
New York and Boston, which have reached Us
are warm in support Of the unequvocal revenue
principles, so ably defended by The President ana
the Secretary OF The Treasury. But, SAID lhe
Wings. PENNSYLVANIA is Tariff Slate and will
never submit TO modification OF the protective
principles Of The present Tariff. II is true, The
Philadelphia Sentinel hopes the present farm
will not be changed, as il is not, in lis OPINION
injurious 10 any interests in the country Should
however such bad effects be demonstrated when
The Sentinel does nct beieve,) that paper is will
ling TO do full Justice TO every interest IN the
country. The Pennsylvania, an old soldier IN
The Republican cause advances the following
manly and sensible views which must make
gradual impression upon the Keystone State, even
though she be so closely welded 10 high farm,
as the Wings represent:
sol course cry will be raised By the interest
ed and the opposition, against The Presidents
views Of the Tariff; but We anticipate cordial
eo-opsrat,on If The bodv Of the Democracy OF me
Uason and Of Congress- in having them carried
1 INTO effect in manner most likely 10 secure Inc
I lasting appreciation Of The country. The recon-
luendaliens of the message are in strict accor /
ance with bis course in Congress and his opinions
published hefure The election, and are such as
alone could have been expected from him. But
most OF all ale we pleased with his recommen-
i ~ epI. ~ Accommodating The 'IIel-
sury OF The Government from the Banks. Unless
this shall be done speedily and efeclually, and
The revenue Of the country brought down TO lis
actual expenditures, there cannot be doubt hui
ere long the scenes of past imitation ana specu-
alon, suspension and ruin, will be re,enacted.
There is already surplus revenue accruins,
witch is deposited in Banks, and by them loaned
out 10 initiate the business OF The country, pro-
ducing over-production al home, and over-impor-
raton f,om abroad, The end OF which il needs no
spiri, of prophecy 10 forelrll. Every we'll wisher
10 The permanent, prosperity OF his country should
urge upon Congress the adjustment Of The Tariff
10 The warts OF The country, and The entire scpa-
ration OF the money OF the people from the control
Of he money loaners-lhe Banks"
Tie Philadelphia Keystone, younger, bu, no
less Jealous champion OF Democracy, contains
he following bold and patriotic sentiments
Speaking OF the Presidents Message, il says
"Ile tone is sood-it is well written, adapted 10
Tie intellect Of the people free from tTopes and
hyperboes, hnl telling plain things IN PLAIN
way. He discusses The Tariff in an able man
ncr, and we trust that Congress will consider that
subject in treat and egpandcd ric1-, free tram
tic contracted iocai icalousles which may be Al
tempted 10 be inlerposed The consideration Of
the Tariff has awakened much attention. II the
Tariff Of 1912 series hut 10 afford revenue Tor
Government lei its principles lie preserved, as
well as lis amounts; but il il does eOrrHy what
The Constitution will mol allow 10 be done openly,
affords exclusive protection 10 one branch ol m
duSlry, without raising what may be honestly
called Revenue, il should and must he altered.
The use oi cant phrases ana popular CALCULATIONS
can't benefit bad cause, and We have hope-yes,
we have ia ith ioo-that our Representatives VIII
recoilec, that heu hSisiats fM ereal and mighty
nation, that they have sworn 10 support the Con-
s,itulion Of he Unilei Slatss that they will pass
no law violating its provisions, even in spirit;
bu! will Keep legislation strictly within the limits
allowed 10 The high and dieniiied body of which
tEey are members. II they stand upon the ele-
valion al duty and Of justice, no popular clamor
can reach or harm them. We look 10 them for
a performance of conscientious duy; for pre-
serva,ion OF The existing Tariff, if it answers
tnr Revenue, and that alone; for an increase OF
duties if required Tor such purposes, and with
Just as much certainty Tor decrease Of rates, II
The present Yields surplus, after all reasonable
ANA liberal demands.
"The President, in expressing his views, soli-
cil> the attention oil Congress and The expectations
OF he community are, that the legislation SHALL
he upon tread prtneiplcs Of Jtaice 10 all and t0t@
10 none. Legislation will then be what il ought
| 10 te The people will have the reins Of Govern
ment properly directed, and The goal attained will
tend 10 strengthen rirtne, our hberiu, and our
independence"
The Washington correspondent Of the N. i.
Globe:
"Much speculation is INDUCED in here in re-
gard 10 The effect which will be produced by The
views Of The President, in relation 10 the Tariff
OF ~, and his propositions OF modification. |
can assure You that was informed by one of The
leading Tariff men OF Pennsylvania, that ii
would give general satisfaction 10 the people in
that Sale-whe 4 distinguished Senator from
the South told me, that he was fully pleased with
the position taken BY The President; and know
that this gentleman was engaged until a late hour
in the Senate Chamber ranking Messages 10 his
constituents"
A member OF Congress assured US, few days
since, that il was his decided opinion, that the Ia
riff would be modified in The House according to
The revenue standard, by majority OF so, al
! least, He looked TO The Pennsylvania members
10 assist in The good work-lor however the few
interested" in that State may clamor against
reduction OF the burdens upon the rest OF the
country, which now accrue 10 their own special
benefit, we are strongly inclined 10 think, lhatthe
people Of that Stale are opposed 10 partial legisa
ton Pennsylvania was once, under the inhu-
uence Of The "inlertsted," a thorough Bank Stale
! General Jackson, however, look bold stand
I against such an unconstitutional monopoly, and
his arguments and energies converted Pensyva-
MIA into The most uncompromising anti-Bank
/ State in The Union. So with The Tariff. MIR.
Polk has spoken like man Of sense and patriot
! ISM He has waged war against all class-egis-
laiion-.ngaius, The insidious though mischievous
| fruits OF the protective system. His common
sense ana convincing arguments will be scattered
far and wide over Pennsylvania. The "good
" day, no one will doub, the true position OF the
Key Stone Stale upon the revenue question.
But what says South Carolina, the Wings will
ask. The famous respondent of the Charles
ION Mercury, with his usual liberai,y and justice,
while he is Obliged 10 admit that, on The Oregon
question, "public opinion here seems 10 be de-
cidedr in favor of the stand taken by the Presi-
dent in his message" and that "lhe proposition
TO terminate the joint occupancy is expected 10
meet with The sanction OF both Houses OF Con-
eress and by large maiori,ies" goes on to OBJ
serve "he only remarks which have heard re-
latjvs 10 The Tariff par, OF the Message are. Ill
is meant 10 deceive else there would not have
been such cloud OF words"
The bes, answer 10 this injurious suspicion, is
the notorious TACT, that Mr.. McDufie, The dislin-
guished champion OF Free Trade, sen, message
TO the President thanking him for the noble views
OF his message, and declaring his resolution 10
sand BY him 10 the last. II Mr.. McDutfie be
