PANIC SPEECHES IN THE SENATE,


PANIC SPEECHES IN THE SENATE
The speeches Of Senator's Evans and Davis, on the
tariff, may be included among the best specimens Of
the class ''panie-fling the minds Of those who
we're carried away by their reasoning, with most
ugubrious Vaccinations. To us they seemed like
| an old joke revived, which we had heard and
laughed at a score of times before; a scene in a
farce, where some poor devil is mischieyously and
numerically frightened by another on the stage,
and the audience, with the prime mover, chuekins
at the consequences or to a different simie,
like pedlar vending ginger pop, who, giving the
liquid considerable descent as il is precpilated
from the bottle to the glass, urges the doubtful
draught TO be taken at once, its eeryescence e.
cnpes, and its insipidity only remains. Senator
| Evans did not keep his risbes entirely unmoved,
| when he found no CONSERVATION visible on the other
side Of the Senate but Senator Davis retained so.
| berness of manner equal TO which we can imagine
only to have happened on two former occasions
the one in 1910, when charged by Mr.. Buchanan
| with misquotng his speech and the other on re-
| inquishing, short time afler, the gubernatoral
chair Of Massachusetts, TO his successful competitor
Judge Morton.

country. He drew a comparison of Canada and
the United States, unfayorab.e to the former. We
answer, it cannot very well be otherwise. She
has less liberal political institutions being in this
respect under the effects of the protectye sysemp
and has natural restrictions six months in the year
by ice, which closes the great Quite, on which her
commerce moves to the ocean. Circumstances thus
being unequal, the comparison is unfair
He also endeavored to show that no country pros
pered which traded on equal terms with England,
and illustrations were drawn from the condition of
the English East and West India colonies. Here,
we also answer, that all who are familiar with those
countries, know that their climates are unfavorable
to health that none but the naiipe merchant resides
there longer time than is sufficient to amass for
tune then the foreigner returns to his native soil to
enjoy it. It6is absenteeism which is the bane of
those countries The profits are distracted by nom
residents Similar is the result at Lowell. in Mas
sachusetts, and Manchester, in New Hampshire.
The profits of the manufactures in those towns de-
Quoting the pittance given to the work people and
a few minor salaries are all transmitted and spent
at Boston, and its environs. The British East and
West India colonies stand in their relation to Eng.
land, as Lowell and Manchester stand to Boston.

agricultural exports were, compared to the consump-
ton at home; and, on giving the gross amount did
not degn to include an approximation to the very
important amount which went by the way OF Ca
nada He took good care. also. when furnishing
the sum total of the exports of other States into the
State of Massachusetts to include cotton but omit.
ted in the same category when abiding to foreign
countries He commented upon the enormous ex-
pense incurred by agricultural districts when send
ing their articles abroad. and the little expense by
the country which furnishes manufactures in ex-
change. PRAY, we ask, how much more expense is
there incurred in sending barrel Of -four fierce
of beef or key of lard from the valleys of the Ohio
or Mississippi to LIVERPOOL via New Orleans, and
exchanging the products for manufactures there, or
to the senator's own State, ysrv ltte. we opne.
