port'
Words, words The Country is cruci-
fed with these already. If faithful, life
like picture Of Congress, with its doings,
misdoings and not-doings, could be made up
and put forth from week to week, we be-
lieye the people would buy it fas. enough /;
but the Editor and his Reporters would
probably be turned out of both Houses and
find the doors shut against them before his
first Session was half finished Most GER
tainly he would receive no support or en-
enlargement in his undertaking from Con-
gress.
If a Report could be weekly issued, Civ.
ing only the substance of the Speeches,
with now and then the whole of some great
effort, but taking care to give regularly
every proposition made in either House,
whether in Committee or regular sitting,
with the name of the proposer and the vote
on the proposition, the Yeas and Nays in
full whenever the subject was of any i'm
porsnce, it would be of inestimable value.
Such Report we endeavor to give each
Session in the columns Of The Tribune:
we have done this faithfully hitherto, but
we mean to do it better still hereafter.
We regret to hear our correspondent
talk of defrayiDg the expense equitably
by the Post Office distributing free of
charge" Can he be ignorant that carrying
nythiDg in the Mail free of charge means
doing the work for one man and exacting
payment from another Everything car
ried in the Mails has to be paid for; the
only choice is between making the receiver
or some one else pay it. We have
prejudice in favor of charging the cost of
such transportation to the receiver in pref
erence to some one else. Ed.

would renesl that tariff TIE demand for cot
tor would be largely increased, with cor
responding increase OF price. 1t was re-
pealcd, and the result is that instead Of
adding to the domestic consumption two
hundred thousand bales, we have dlmln-
ished it one hundred and sixty-iOur thou
sand and all these bales have TO seek
market in England, the effect OF which is
seen in the low price of cotton and IA the
prospect that it will fall to lower point
than it has ever vet seen; and the consola-
ton now offered to the planter IS that The
Journal is of opinion that the rich will yet
he able to consume "a few silks even if,
by reason of the diminished consumption of
cotton goods by our own farmers, our own
mechanics and our own laborers, cotton
should decline to former average prices.
Such are the men who teach he laborer
tina. his interests are to be promoted by
system that looks TO underwriting the labor
ers of the world, that England may become
"the workshop of the world. Provided
a few silks shall yet continue to be wanted
for the consumption of its free trade friends,
TIE Journal will shed few tears over the
fact that the laborer now uses ten pounds
of cotton when before he could use fifteen
and changes his shirt once week, when
before he could, if he would, change it
daily.
1t is really time that its Editors should
honestly admit that every promise made at
the passage of the act of 1916 remains yet
unredeemed Wheat was to rise, but the
farmers Of the West are storing it because

bushel. Cotton is falling to . former aver
age prices" and that without any increase
of the average crop, although We have had
a great increase of population. The con-
sumption of cotton goods has diminished
more than one-third. The consumption of
iron is less, per head, by one-third. Our
shipping in the foreign trade is diminishing,
and The Post informs its readers that in
the upper part of the City there are . whole
rows Of new houses unsold and untenanted !"
and such are everywhere the evidences OF
British free trade prosperity We pray our
neighbors to study Mr.. Walkers reports,
and endeavor to find in them some explana-
ton of these extraordinary facts occurring
in a nation but recently so prosperous under
the system which looked to protecting the
American farmer in his efforts to draw around
him the men who should consume his food
while converting his fuel and his ore into
iron, and the American planter in his eff
forts to draw to his own cotton fields the
men who should consume his food while
converting his cotton into CLOTH If they
cannot do this, let them honestly admit
their error and unite with us in the effort to
reestahlish the System under which The
consumption of iron and Of cloth increased
SO rapidly as it did under the tariff of 1912.

The People and their Agents-PublicitY for the
Doings of Congress,
OBERLrN, OHIO, Friday, Nov. IA,

OBERLrs, ONO, Friday, Nov. IA, 1851.
To me Editors Of the N. Y Tribune:
ask your attention to a project that
think merits investigation. 1t is, that the Voters
throughout the country be officially apprlSed OF
all the business that their agents in the National
Legislature transact IN their name-to this end
That a correct report of the proceedings of the
National Legislature be published IL a form
convenient for circulation, and al public expense,
made freely accessible to each member OF the
body polite that during each Session Of Con-
greSs such report be sent weekly TO every town,
IN sufficient numbers TO furnish copy 10 each
forty or fifty adults. This Report should be the
same as that furnished the Members oil Congress,
and should be secured against error by the over.
sight of Committee IN each House, appointed
from its own numbers, whose duty should be to
attest weekly to the correctness of this Report,
by affxing their signatures TO a copy for the
Legislature of each State.
Were an arrangement OF this kind made by
Congress, 1t would devolve upon each State 70
report the number of copies needed by the seye-
raj towns within its limits. The expense might
he betrayed equitably, by the Post-Ofice dis,
tributing free of charge, while each State PAID
the cost OF It's own supplies.
In those States where Common School sys-
TEN is in operation and the School Districts are
furnished with Libraries, this Report should be-
come part OF every such Library II.
Remarks.
If by the term Proceedings of Congre e
our correspondent implies the Speeches as
well as the propositions and the votes taken
thereon, we respectfully dissent. A great
majority Of the Speeches made in Congress
do not deserve the extensive publicity which
our correspondent contemPlates, and would
Ill repay the sacrifice Of time involved in
their perusal. Those who have a taste for
reading can indulge it far more agreeably
and proftably than in reading the Speeches
usually made in Congress.
Our chief objection to any public distri-
button of such Report of the Proceedings
of Congress as would be compiled under
the control of that body springs from the
notorious fact that no true and faithful re-
port Of what Congress actually does could
be given. For instance The Senate pre-
tends to meet at noon, bu! often does not

and, after dawdling half an hour or so as
idly as possible, motion to adjourn will be
made and carried, and that ends the days
work. After spending four days in this
way, the Senate will adjourn over from
Thursday to Monday. Is anybody green
enough to fancy that any Official Report Of
the dsings of Congress would put the facts
regarding this culpable waste Of time fully
and fairly before the public
Then the Crooked Mileage and the Con.
structive Mheage-do you fancy the People
would have the facts with regard to these

pert dry-nursed BY Committee Of the

viii Tho Soldier and Indian fighter
vote for their enemies

1t is well known that the old fedcfalists
always opposed paying the soldiers of the
revelation anything extra for their hard
fought battles. Their descendants, the mod
ern wbigs, carry out the wretched spirit of
their predecessors. We showed up few
days ago the votes Of Mr.. Vinton, the whig
candidate for Governor, on paying the off,
GERS and soldiers who fought in the recent
wars and in the Indian campaigns iu the
early settlements Of the West.
We fnd on recurring to Mr.. Vinton's
earlier votes. he was true 10 the instincts of
the party to which he has always been at
| tached, as we'll as John Woods who is no W
candidate for Auditor of State on the whig
ticket. Soldiers, Indian lighters, pioneers
of the wilderness, patriotic men Of every
class, can you vote for men who would thus
refuse to pay the soldiers, their widows ane
orphans for whose services we are indebted
to the very soil on which we now live W.

The true democrat who wishes well TO

Of more importance than the gr alifcaiion
OF any mere spite he may have against an
individual who may be nominated for an

et.' 1t has been by stitching to the ticket
that the Democratic party has been enabled
TO achieve its brilliant .riumphs in the past !;
by sticking to the ticket we elevated a

when they were assalled with the most bit.

now regrets that he stuck to the tick ct and

great and good men. Let the past be a

The next inquiry is, what has become
Of this money! We showed yesterday
that sisty-nins thousand aud odd dollars
had been drawn IN a few ausntsr months,
and no vouchers fled On the day before.
the Ohio State Journal, the whig organ OF
this city, admitted that the Auditor OF State
had turned broker once more and loaEed q
large amount to railroads, but without q
shadow of law, or an iniimation in his last
annual report, that could be understood in
regard to ii!
But who authorized the Auditor Of State
TO levy taxes on one portion of the State.
TO build railroads in another portion? The
thing is monslrous in thought, in concsp-
ton. in practice, and abomniable in power.
1t makes the Auditor of State the money
king, to decide what road shall be the re.
cipent OF State favors, and what not. All
| are taxed for treasury wants, but only the
favored few are to get the favors Of the
king Of the treasury.
We say to the voters Of Ohio, rend and
reflect on these things. Act as becomes
