First act IN lfSO
THE LAST WING ARGUMENT.

1t is very well known that the whig party have no
confidence in the intelligence of the people. They
show this by their words and their acts. They
made it very evident in their hardcder proceedings
during the memorable campaign of ls40 They
reveal the same fact now, when they clamor that
the democracy Of Pennsylvania was duped and de-
ceived in the election Of 1874.
But it has been reserved for the leading champion
of protection in the city Of New York, the New
York Tribune to bring out this same low estimate
of the popular intelligence, somewhat more saucly
than we have seen it presented before The Trib-
une has always contended that "high duties make
low prices" But that journal finds that various
manufactured articles, carpets for example, have
greatly fallen in price since the passage Of the new
tariff, and gives this fact part of the "run'
brought upon the country by that act. Here the
Tribune finds itself involved in a contradiction, A
reduction of the duty has in this case reduced the
price. To escape from this dilemma, the Tribune
thus describes the effects which will flow from the
new tariff, when it shall have come into full opera
ton:
1--WE shall then be deluged with European fab
RIGS, not because they cheaper than our own, for
they cannot be, but BECAUSE they toW be norel
and SNOWY, and SILLY PEOPLE like the reputa-
ton Of buying articles that have come great way
in search of purchaser. Things have gloomy
look just at present, but they must mend"
"This," says another New York journal, "being
interpreted means: that the people of this country
so 'sy" that they will buy poor British ar
ticlc sooner than good American article, afforded
at the same price; because forsooth, the former is
more novel and snowy And hence it is necessary
to choke them of from the privilege of buying the
foreign article, lest they may get cheated in their
purchase, and at the same time bring "ruin" upon
our manufacturers This is the doctrine of the great
champion Of the tariff Of lS42! This is his estimate
ofthe character of the American people,"
In one respect the foolish language Of the Trib-
une is quite natural. The wings have no faith in
the people, and, rice versa, the people have no faith
in the wings

Jackson Democratic Association.

At meeting Of this association, held pursuant to
notice, in Jackson Hall, on Monday night, the 7th
instant, for the election Of officers and other bust
ness, Mr.. John Ward called to the chair, and
u. X. Ofuu appointed secretary.
The following preamble and resolutions were offer
ed, and unanimously adopted:
Whereas the newly organized democratic asso-
citation, under the title OF the jackson Democratic
Association Of Washington city," having for its
object the dissemination Of intelligence setting forth
the true principles Of the democratic party through
out the country, and particularly to the working
classes, viz farmers, mechanics, and laboring men
in general; and knowing by a long correspondence
with the people Of the different States the disad-
vantages under which the honest and industrious
portion of fellow-citizens labor for the want OF
facilities for the diffusion Of intelligence and polit-
lcal information: and whereas, being, as this as
ISOLATION is, composed principally of mechanics we
desire that more free and perfect understanding
and social intercourse shall exist between the me-
chanics and aboring men throughout the United
States.
BE therefore resolved, That far as practicable,
the prominent officers Of this association shall be
chosen from amongst the mechanics and laborng
men belonging to said association this course being
deemed best calculated to effect the above OBJ
jeCts.
Resolved That the spirit of the above resolution
Is not intended casting any reproach upon our
democratic friends engaged in other branches of
making Of political capital, by the federal party,
against democrats under the patronage of the gen
era government
Resolved, That most cordially invite all our
democratic friends in office, as well as other dem
ocratc citizens, to become members Of the "Jackson
Democratic Association"
The association then proceeded to ballotfs officers
for the ensuing six months, and the following gen.
tlemen were elected

resolutions, and the names Of the officers be pub

signed by about 60 members; and them on motion,
the association adjourned to the next regular meet
ing, first Monday in October next.

The Navy Department claims $4,000 900 more
If Congress shares in the public sentiment, 1t we
may judge Of this from the enro!ments OF volunteers,
these funds will he voted by reclamation. The Sec
rotary of War gives reason to hope that 10000 men
will he enough.
"Wise men protest, in the bosom OF Congress,

North America, however shaken her credit may

BRITIsH MODE OF ANNExATIoN-The Advocate OF

a letter published in the Stamford Mercury, Eng

OF the battles Of last December on the banks of the
SutIc Having spoken of the battle Of the Goth, the
writer adds; "On the succeeding morning, we com
menoed hanging and shooting all the prisoners,
which dreadful work occupied us nearly the whole
of the day." We had thought that the 10Th centu-
ry was sufficiently Mortified with the roasting of the
poor wretches IN Alg'ers, under French barbarity;
but il the above is true it would seem that England
seeks to Guido her illustrious rival. How horribly
shocked the sensbillues Of the English and French
people often are at the cruelty and injustice Of
American slavery

THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH WEST

company has been formed in Philadelphia to
run the telegraph line TO the Ohio. We are glad TO
see the following anuuncauon IN the United States
Gazette:
otis gratifying to find that our Philadelphia bu-
slness men showing favor TO this movement;
and we learn that an efficient organization is COM
peted here to the line Of telegraph rapidly to
the Ohio. Hugh Downing, esq., one of the most
efficient business men in Market street, known ex-
eEsvely westward, as we'll as in this city, is named
as the president, and the company is styled the AT
antc and Ohio Most Of the stock is said to be
secured and the balance will not remain long
hand.
"One-third Of the telegraph line between this and
the Ohio, II nearly ready operation, with sub
stantial wire cord"
The Cincinnati Gazette says that agents are about
to visit the western cities for the purpose af raising
additional funds to complete this line of telegraph.
By the extension of this line to Louisville, we shall
have the advantage of all the long lines that have
been completed from Washington TO Boston, and
Boston TO Buffalo
The matter ia one Of the greatest importance to
our business men, and should command their at
tention.
The Pittsburg Chronicle thus speaks of this en-
terprlse;
"The great practical utility of the telegraph has
been so clearly manifested by actual operation, that
there can now be no doubt upon the subject. In
those places where it has been established, no con-
slderaton would induce the men of business to dis
pense with it, The four large cities Of the Union
and the capital have been brought into immediate
proximity by this wonderful invention. The mer-
chants of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Bal
timore can send their orders in few minutes
Thus the facilities Of commerce are greatly IN
creased
"The magnetic telegraph also operates most ad-
vantageously to the community as police agent.
Rogues cannot escape now and bear off their plum
der. Electricity is too rapid for them. The light
ming bears the tIdngs of their crimes the coun-
try far in advance. The telegraph will also prevent
all swindIing and gambling in stocks and the mar
express, or by other means, in advance of the
mails An immense amount of rascality has been
perpetrated in this way"

FREE TRADE AND OUR FOREFATHERS"
Under this caption the Intelligencer, a few days
SINCE published an article designed prove that the
founders Of our republic were hlgh-tarG men
There was so Ite plausibihty in this idea, and the
truth Is 50 well known to be exactly the reverse,
that we did not deem 1t necessary 70 make any re-
ply But we observe that the lntelligencer's article
is going the rounds Of the wing press, and 1t is
proper therefore briefly to bring out the truth Of the
case. The following table will show what was
deemed proper tariff in the year 1890, and In the
years subsequent to that Tune, up to 1912. II will
be seen that the system Of high duties has arisen
among US entirely since this latter year Indeed,
we had always supposed it to be a fact admitted by
all parties in this country, that the protective sys-
tenn, properly so called, began in 1916 Then, were
laid duties enormously high in comparison with our
first tariff Of 1890. But the protective tax Of 1916
tse was but trihc compared with the mon
ster exactlons of 1928 and lS42 To those wings
who rail against the new tariff and point us to the
wisdom Of the past for guidance it will be instruct
i've to compare with the tariff Of 1876 our first tar
i'll act of 1890 The duties then levied are briefly
gwen in the following table, with their subsequent
alterations, up to 1912:
