sident returned the French sPoliltion bill to
the House on Saturday night with vet0 As

MESSAGE OF THE PREsDENT- TIE .Nerican
Var 1t will be seen that the President sent
message to Congress on Saturday, asking an
appropriation Of So 100000 to enable him to
conclude treaty of peace with Mexico, and to
establish boundaries between the two nations.
From the message, which will be found in an
other column, il will be seen that the President
has not yet received protter of peace from
Mexico, and that he is determined to prosecute
the war with vigor, until that nation comes to
terms. A bill was Immediately reported IN the
House appIoprating tic sum asked for, which
gave rise TO considerable excitement and confu-
sion. 1t was, however, finally passed. Both
houses were in session until late hou. Of the
night and will assemble this morning at l-2
O'Clock, when the bill will, no doubt, also pass
the Senate, previous to the final adjournment,
VIII ich we presume will take place to-day
THE GRlNDNG PRocEss. II the legislation
Of the country grinds down the operatives to
the point of starvation, it must not be mention
ed, lest panic be created. Those who feed at
the public crib, have 10 "oowels Of compass
sion" for the aborng classes, and let their SUI
ferings be ever SO great, there must be no COM
plant, but they must continue to work in har-
ness as usual, for the benefit of political dema
gogues. II tariff bill be passed which will
encourage and sustain the foreign manutactur-
er to the ruin OF the American laboter, the lat
ter must submit in silence. although his family
may bread. These are doctrines which
are to b, found in some of the newspapers,
whose column: exhibit evidence that they re-
ceive guild pro quo for their opinions, and
that consequently, those opinions are utterly |
unworthy Of consideration.
The new tariff, more properly termed the
British tariff, has already inflicted considerable
injury, and the grinding process has commenced
upon some of the operatives, A letter publish
ed in the National IntelIigencer of Saturday
last, addressed to a member of Congress, and
dated, "Fayette Springs, (Va.) August 4,
1885, says-"The new tariff is the great topic
It's effects upon labor and agriculture will be
terrible, but the manufacturers who can 90 Oh
will do we'll Several furnaces have stopped;
the hands flock to the next furnace, offer to
work at reduced rates to secure employment,
and down goes wages; and the farmer, losing
his usual market, has to force his produce on
the next establishment, and down goes his pr-
ces. Pig iron has fallen five dollars per ton.
but wages and produce will lose more. Wool
is down to six cents a pound-this will not
hurt the manufacturer; the laborers and the far
mers are and will be the sufferers"
The operatives have gloomy prospect
ahead They may prepare to fold their arms
in idleness, whilst they see the workshops Of
Europe supplying this country with manullctur
ed articles. And what is more-they must sub
nit without murmuring to this condition Of
things, or be abused for their presumption, in
making known their grievances.
