The Tariff Overthrow.

OF the land
The Tariff Overthrow.
The bill Of Walker and McKay-amended at a
single point on the motion Of Mr.. Webster-has
passed both Houses OF Congress and has doubtless
ere this received the signature OF the President
1t takes effect on the lst Of December next AS
the law OF the land it is henceforth 10 be obeyed By
all. We shell indeed struggle Tor essential changes
in it at the earliest practicable moment and shall de
sire TO see distinct and broad issue on the PRis-
cIpLEs involved in this measure made up ana de-
cided in the next Presidential Election we ASK II
searching discussion OF and deliberate eihPiia'ie
decision upon this vtaly important matter II ''.'
People ON as full a presentment OF the case as Is
practicable see fit 10 concur in the Policy just al
frroed we have no choice but SUBMISSION we
can live under the anti Protective policy as well as
majority of those who support it Mr.. Webster
+nlv remarked on Monday that community Will
ina N work fourteen hours per day steadily cannot
wen be ruined, though it may be unjustly deprived
of,b. fnIJ and fair reward of its labor. We believe
the change just made entirely wrong-fagrantly-
e,1ev;ously wrong-yet shall studlous!y avoid
panic making We shall most OF us 1--we soneho"
until our time comes, under this or any larl1.-
Grass will grow and water run rs usua-'ruga'
sharp sighted men will acquire property, while m
dolent prodiga bad caculators will lose what tails
TO them and live in restitution. as formerly
Manufacturing and Mechanical Arts will still be
prosecuted, often with success, and the most Of
those who are able and willing TO work effectively
will find work to do Mt some rate. Let us all try
our best to have things move on as iavorabiy as
though this great change had not been made. IL
we are brought to dead halt so be 1t, but let no
man lie down in the furrow, and say cveryth
must 20 to wreck because McKay's bill has passed
When the crisis has been met with mantul reso
luton, we upprehend that there will be quite dis
aster enough suffering enough, because OF tins
great National mistake. We fear that thousands
on thousands who would have been steadily en-
ployed and comfortably situated through the ensu-
ing winter if this bill had not passed will now be
destitute OF employment and dependent on charity
for bread. But let none engaged in any branch OF
Industry say they cannot get on till they have tried
Let economy, skill calculation and Yankee lnse-
nuity be taxed to the utmost before one gives up
Leave Despair to mbecilcs; let us resolve that we
won't fall down till we nre absolutely put down
Many branches of Manufacturing industry will be
unaffected, except sympathetically. Some others
have made great improvements and gained much
strength since 1912, and can stand blows that
would then have paralyzcd them. Some branches
of Industry will be struck down; let us all JON
hands and give them our solemn assurance that we
regard their well being own-that we Will
relax no effort grudge sacrifice until they are
reostablished. The gross wrongs OF tins bill can
not endure they will be corrected by the very
next Congress. Hope, then, and struggle on! Let
as never despair OF the American Republic!
gB The Courier g. Enquirer says our notice Of
Webs Theology very clearly admits in what
we said of Punishment the entire charge both of
Infidety and Hypocrisy" That is hard. The
Courier embodied its idea of the essence OF Chris
tianity in a statement of belief which we at once
and fully assented to whereupon charged
with avowing Enfdelity Most untrue, but let it
pass.
= And now will the Courier be good enough to
say whether remark that it the c. Il f. :" has
been Free Trade paper long since the election
OF Gen. Harrison'-for which we were grossly
assailed and DETAINED by that paper-has or has not
been proved true VIII the Courier have more
proof of its literal correctness Yea or Nay
