THE pREsIDEN RS MESSAGE.

This document, which we gave ontire to
our readers last week marks an era in the po
iiiical history of our country. 1t is conces-
sion on the part of ultra Federalism to the
fr1ths of Democracy, aud lays bare the hol-
low meaningless cant Of demagogues ahou;
"high Tariffs and the "veto" Tho Pres;.
dert frankly says that high iar;if can new.
er be permanent, and plainly evinces how
the boisterous monopolists break down their
business by making it Zoo good, and thus
too urgently inviting competition at home
in their frantic rage 10 keep out foreign II
val. But when Whig President argues 70 r
specific duties and against the ad valorem
system those Democrats of that turn of
thinking can see upon what p atlorm they
stand. Ii has ever been the policy of Fed
sralism TO ask for only "ltle more" pro.
lection, and as soon as this was conceded TO
cry again FOR ''just little more." From IT.
80 to this day-from tariff averaging per
cent, to one averaging 80 per cent-the mo-
nopolists have been snatching finger after
finger for the whole hand of projecting gov
eminent They again raise the leech cry of
"give," and now ask for "only little more
But let the past war;. for the future, and let
the Democracy stand firm 10 the faith now
SO triumphantly vindioating itself.

The following was one of the resolutions
passed at the Philadelphia Union Meeting:
Resolved, That SO much of the Act of As.
sembly of Pennsylvania as forbids any Off
GERS OF the Commonwealth from giving ef-
feet to any act of Congress respecting per-
sons escaping from service in other States,
and provides penalties for taking eognizance
or jurisdiction of the case of any such fugi-
tive, ought to be at tse earliest possible mo.
ment repealed.
The same subject was agitated in the
Pennsylvania Legislature last session, and
strange TO say was allowed TO remain in stat
ue quo. We cordially and heartily endorse
the recommendation of the meeting, and
hope one of the first acts of the coming Le-
glslature will be TO REPEAL all laws, in any
way conflicting with the practical operations
OF the fugitive slave bill They are clearly
unconstitutional and never should lfave been
passed. Repeal them, we say, at once. So

long ago as 1912. Doubtless the ablest
member of the Doylestown bar is Hon.
Thomas Ross, the present member Of Con-

in favor of the Fugitive Slave law best IL

the Delaware and Chester District also re-
sides here, and his name is now prominent

hit. Miss Emma Pike was lecturing upon
her favorite science of Mnemonics, and she
taught the natives here as mu ch as she few
years ago instructed those of your town.
Whether her profits here were equal to those
at Bloomsbury deponent saith not Certain
ly, she created quite sensation.
The country around Doylestown is filled
with hospiiable, substantial farmers, and
this agricultural character it is which keeps
the town from growing as rapidly as some
manufacturing places. So it is not the popu.
lation of 1000 in the town, but the farmers
of the neighborhood who support the well
conducted newspapers of Doylestown. But
the farmers of Bucks are of far different
energy and industry flom those of your
neighborhood, and the latter might learn
many valuable lesson here. At this point
then lei us rest our pen.

The Tariff.

We have no hope that the granting of any
favors TO the federal iron men, by the demo-
cratic party, would at all soften their feel
ings towards its measures or its candidates,
and in recommending any change, we would
be governed by higher and better motives.
The democratic party has never had fhe
least desire TO injure any o. the great inter-
ests OF Pennsylvania, and the opposition
that those interested in the iron trade, have
encountered, was brought upon them by
their own injudicious and we may say, infa.
nous conduct The policy of our party has
always been TO extend adequate protection 20
all branches of ndustry-Commerce Agri-
culture and nufactures-unequal privili-
ges 10 none. And this is our policy still.
We would not consent TO depart one iota
from the stand we have taken, if every fed.
eral lion master in Pennsylvania would
promise to turn democrat The day for
high tariffs has gone by. The people of
this age Of progress have decided, repeated
ly, that no such an anti-republican and anti
democrat measure shall ever again disgrace
our statute books, and the manufactures
must not expect it. The tariff of 1916 has
proved itself an efficient revenue measure,
and the receipts of The United States Treas
ury from customs alone, have increased to
the enormous amount of $50 ZOO, 900. When
such are the facts, known to every body,
and when there is growing disposition
among the mass of the people to favor not
only low tariff, but free trade itself, we
would not for one momen. consent TO an in
crease in favor Of one branch, at the expense
of the other,
