tile measures in huckstering compromise
Why are all the measures 10 be settled from
one section? We have measures at the North
in which we feel a strong interest. We wish
a change from the tariff policy of 1876. The
wool-growing and manufacturing interests, and
the iron interest, are all staggering on the verge
of ruin they are in a state Of siege, looking
as they have right to look, for the Government
to come to the rescue. Many of the manufac-
turers OF the North have struggled against ad-
verse fortune without a dividend since the pas.
sage Of the tariff of 1886 Intelligence has
just reached us that in one village thousand
operatives are thrown out of employ in a single
day ard that In three months, probably more
than ten thousand must share the same fate in
| New England. In these circumstance, we are
tortured BY this perpetual delay. As a northern
man, feel mortified that five months of the
session are now passed, and the Committee on
Manufactures have not had their first meeting.
We feel anxious that something should be dops
| by estatl shnE aa agricultural bureau to aid
| the farniers, who constitute two thirds of the
people Of this nation. The Government has
worked long enough for the benefit Of politicians
and placemen ; it is time something was done
for the people themselves. We wish To See
improvements in the rivers and halbors in all
perts of the land, measure that was thwat.et
by'sn Executive veto. Now, suppose we insist
on inserting in a compromise all these measures
for commerce and agriculture and m ,nuiacture,,
and declare the one shall not pass W, ,hout the
rest, California will appear with tai! as long
and omnous as the tai. Of comet, porlending
war and pestilence to the land. Why are Sec
tional interests linked with her? Is it Iot a
confession that they cannot be rskeJ on their
own merts--that they cannot go alone and
therefore they must come crouching along
under the wing of California The splendid
vessel, rugged and manned on the distant shore,
starts on her voyage; ; she doubles the cape ; at
length the signal announces that she has rea III
ed tie offing. The masses OF people, reused
and Joyous at The tidings, throng the beach to
witness her advent The cry arises, why does
she delay her coming? The only answer that
can be given is, that there is Il banierng pro-
cess going on in the commercial d,van. Each
one wishes to profit by her COMM. She mus;
tow in his packet, or his sooty whaler, or junk
or fishing smack. AT length it is gravey dec.
ded that she must put out 10 sea again, "r come
dragging on behind ker all the old, crazy, crlt-
pied, water-logged craft on all the coast.

Ject to it, because it excludes the ordinance OF
I7S7. Vermont was the first to exclude slavery
from her borders. She was tie first to take the
position now held by the free States in regard
to slavery in the territories. On November l.,
1919, she passed this resolution!
