Of the few, who fell The forest, cultivate the

basis Of national production; money capital, ,
when legiimately obtained, is the result Of
prosperous labor-it springs frem il like the
branches fiom trunk Of tree. Ths pros
ectionists would put the axe 10 the root, in
order 10 make the tree vigorous. Yea. they
would tear il up; and, scoifing at the wisdom
of Providence aud The fitness Of the laws OF
Nature, they would plant il with its top

But We are speaking Of the ways and
means The resIrictionis,s adopt TO carry their
lpont-ways aud means which show their
disrust Of their own cause. They shrink
from direct issue for they fear the popu-
lar verdict. In 1910 they stunned it,. In
| 1874 fOrluiious circumstances emboldened
them 10 meet it; and they were Defeated
In l846 they evaded it again; but, since the
question has been taken from the people uu-
| til the fall or 1882, they are raIying in solfl
column to do their work before that time
comes, when The ballot box aud its potent in
fuences can be brought TO bear. Each inle-
rest gives different reason for its dissatis-
faction with the present state of things,
while all cry aloud against ad Ualorem du-
ties. We pay but lt'Ie peed TO this latter
cry. Ii is but an excuse for changing The
syStem--a cloak 10 the nlterior purposes
cunningly devised scheme for destroying
free-lrade principles. The res!rictionists
wish to get the present law in their clutches,
under The guise Of kind physicians wishing
