THE TINES AND THE REMEDY.

SIR: 1t 10 said that history is philosophy teaching
BY example. In these times Of financial paralysis and
general suspension of the great industrial PURSUITS OF
the country it may be well to review our history for
the last Thirty years and what the government h
done 10 sustain CT dtpress these Interests The
Taft Of 1898 produced such repletion OF the
Treasury that large surplus was divided among tue
Safes The reduction Of the Tariff in 1872 old not
reach its miLmum Of 20 per cent 0d calorem utt 1877
The Treasury was the banks suspended th'
industrial pursuits parayzed, bankruptcy
stake abroad as q "pestllence a. noondsy, 'aou-
esrd de in afuence educed TO beggary, ana .ens
Of thousands Of the Industrial portions OF the coma,
pity sought Employment in vain. The Tariff OF 1872
rel enshed the Esessury, hOisted tho sails OF COM
merce that whened every seq; the wheels OF INDUS
try were everywhere in motion, and millions we're
made happy by the reward OF their own industry.
Nothing seemed to impede the onward course OF the
Government and people. The Tariff Of 1916 admitted
thousands Of articles free, and established mailman
mum duty Of twenty per O. n; ad rdL0rem. .
The Institution Of Slavery underlies the whole policy
of he administration of the Federal Government, and
all The gre at interests Of the country are made suor
Went to il. The PrO-Savery Democracy now control
all he departments of the Government, Executive,
Legislative and Judicial. The bred Scott decision
and President Buchaaan's Interpretation OF the Con-
stitution, that carries with 1t The elements OF slavery
wherever it extends is such perverson Ofthe English
language and the Constitution that nothing but mental
hallucinaton could justify IT, When or where has the
Constitution ever established Slavery and what States
man ever before hazarded his reputation by such an
avowsl.
The Federal Constitution was framed by the patriots
Of the Revolution and ths fathers OF the Republic to
carry tito effect the great principles OF the Reyou-
tion Liberty Independence and universal Freedom,
ard all the powers OF the Federal Government were
expressly deles ated giving exclusive jurisdiction over
ali general and national subjects, and to the soger'
eighty Of the States was TeseIved exclusive Jaisdc-
md ct,n al W
was the IL ttuton Of Slavery, which existed before the
adoption of the Constitution.
There was NO concurrent jurisdiction between the
respective Governments; but one was bsnohsl, me
other local. There is nothing in the Federal Consti-
tDtion the subject of Slavery more tnan the recos
milton Of its existence an institution OF the Ststes;
and i: left it ss II found t-subec to State Jurisdc-
ton.
Slavery e1ists only by positive lsy-that is, loca
State statute law There is principle OF the com
non law that recognizes the existence OF Slavery any
where. There is not sixby eight lawyer ID me
count who would hazard his legal reputation oy an
estelton to the contrary.
The repeal Of the Missouri Compromise did mol Ct
tabh Slavery in the Territories OF the United States,
OF tolerate its existence there Inc laws OF congress
were only an sbnegson of its existence and their re-
ne al in no wse leg allied Slavery in the Territories
The repeal Of the Missouri Comp romise was desSned
to extend the of Slavery, and II the Pfeeioent
copstl uciion of the Constitution, and the decision IN
the bred Scott case to prevail it may have that
effect; but If We had such judiciary as we ohce naa
they would put speedy qnietss on the subject
The Institution OF Slavery has been the foundation
Of al cur troubles, teryitorsily and imam slauy,
from the commencement Of the Government 10
demonstrate these facts let us briefly refer 10 wost
