WASHINGTON, July 20, 1916.
The Iarif-A part of Mr.. Dallas's Speech left out
ofhe Official Report, here inserted for the bensft
of old nnsyipanid--1hc Sub Ireastuy-A case
Of attempted Fraud upon the Indians exposed !;
not included in the Hoyt Correpondence-C Col.
Bemton-7he old Sub reanwy denounced as
Humbug the nesc one connected ,cifh National
Bank, &c.
Now tell us all about the war
And what they killed each other for.
Indeed do not know, quoth me-
But twas famous victory"
We refer not to the war with Mexico, nor to the
victories of Palo Alto or the Palm Ravine, but to
the war and the =" famous victory" upon the bust
ness and business exchanges of the country. We
are as much puzzled to define the necessity here
as the old grandfather was to give the reasons to
little Wilhelminc for the Battle of Blenheim and
like the old man, we are satisfied of the fact that
it was GO famous victory" at least for the time
being. The act was consummated by the House
to-day, and from lst of December next the new
tariff is the law of the land. The friends OF the
bill are indebted to Mr.. Webster for the excsions
of the ninth section allowing premium Of five
per cent upon false valuations And we here
take occasion TO say, that never was there a truer
champion in q great emergency to his friends and
his principles, than Mr.. Webster has been upon
this tariff bill. From the first to the last every
day, he Ca. came up first ts the 3 assault. He
and fought like Trojan to the end. Next to
Webster (although Evans is first upon the finances
the first man in all the Union), but next to
Webster in his spirit of Jealous resistance OF the
bill, was Mr.. Niles. He promptly took his stand
in the beginning, and on the last day astonished
the Senate with the furious iupetuosity OF his as
sault Like the poetry of Homer, his denuncia-
tons of the bill were continuous torrehe vi me,
oil par adi ,rep before
of the act are vet TO come Its friends may Justly
anticipate, and do expect, a terrible revulslon
but, like John Tyler, they rely upon the,r luck 70
avert il. Bat nous r9rons. Let us not despair.
In reading over to-day the speech of the Vice
President, on his casting vote, our attention was
attracted to a most Judicious omission In the
speech, as printed from the copy furnished by
Mr. Dallas himself we find the following inter-
estipg paragraph
TO my mind ample proof has been furnished that
majority Of the people and Of the States desire to change
great extent in principle IL not fundamentally, the
system heretofore pursued in assessing the duties on TO-
reign imports That majority has manifested itself in
various ways and Is atested by its representatives In
the other House Of Congress- whom this bill has been
approved, and whose votes -undenaby indicate the po
pular sense IN the large proportion Of eighteen out Of
the vote before me- dscoses that while six States (Ohio
Virginia, New Hampshire Georgia, Michigan. and
vsna Delaware, Kentucky, Massachusetts New Jersey,
Rhode Islsnd, Connecticut, ryland North Carolina,
souri, Alabama Illinois, Indiana South Carol ina Mssis-
sippi New York Texas Tennessee, and Fords) for
the change. Peculiarly situated o. am In my relation
the national Legislature those impressive facts cannot
be overlooked In free from constitutional ohjec.
ton could not us6aby counterfeit by ssort OF ocia
veto, the general will"
BY reference to our notes of the speech, as we
heard il in the reporters gallery, we find that Mr.
Dallas, in the copy he has furnished for the press,
has omitted very material part OF the classfca-
ton Of the States, 10 witt
"ofthe six States equally divided we find that by the
latest returns. three are whig tohio New Hampshire
and Georgia) and three are democratic Virginia, Mi
states against the bill, hnd thsre is only demo.
