TO THE ,sopLE OF Pennsylvania.

FFrroyv.C IrygHSs A great victory having oeen
achieved. we desire on the part OF the COMMITTEE OF
Severty.six appointed at meeting OF tie friends o'
tie National Industry all its branches held IN TINS
city on the 18th Of june to offer you our congraiua-
tons. rot only OIL the triumph itself but Oh the proof
II furnishes Of the following facts:
That in the necessity for protecting the farmer in
his Efforts for bringing lis door the market for Ais
pro6ucts and thereby economzing the tax OF trans
portatiou, Americans, Wings, Democrats and RepuO-
leans have found the solid platform on which they
may securely stand.
Ths, neu OF al pursuits Of liie-farmers and me-
chancs. miners and furnace-men, laborers AMI cap
tass. traders and transporters-haye arrived at the
knowledge that they have a common interest in en-
deayorng SO to diversity the demands for labor as TO
hing together the producers and consumers Of the
country.
That itev are awake to the destructive tendencies
of system which burdens the nation with foreign
debt that already counts by hundreds OF millions
REQUIRING the remittance Of probably thirty millions
Of dollars annually for the payment OF interest alone
That they are unwilling further TO sustain policy
which condemns their coal and ore TO remain use
less in the groaud, while draining the country OF the
precious metals to pay Tor foreign iron:
That they do not desire longer 10 be compelled to
INV for foreign labor, while American laborers are
badly fed and badly clothed. because unemployed:
That the belief in necessity for total change in our
domestic and foreign policy is rapidly becoming gem
era throughout the State:
That il needs but union among ourselves to secure
the permanent adoption OF system that shall restore
prosperity 10 the people, harmony to the relations Of
the states and dignity and character TO the admsra
ton of the Federal Government.
The power to accomplish such change, fellow-cti-
zens is in the hands Of Pennsylvania and it is needed
only that she exercise it. Placed she il, between
the North and the Southgreat as she is in her natural
resourcespowerul she s, by reason of her wealth
aud popuaton--she may if she will guide and direct
the policy of the Union. Blind, however, to her true
interests she has but too often permitted herself to
BE- lanessed TO the car of ambitious and unprn-
ciped demagOgue who, in consideration OF tayors to
HIMSELF has helped to sacrifice her dearest interests
lending his aid to the closing OF her mills and furnaces
ard TO the expulsion of her workmen and thereby de.
prving her farmers of the advantage resulting from
having market near at hand. The consequences
exhibit themselves in tie fact that she has had no real
influence in the Uuion-her votes having been OBJ
tanned by means of frauds ike that Of Polk Dallas
and the Tariff of -, while she herself, when ask
ing attention to her interests has been treated as
mere pauper. seeking to be fed at the public cost.
Such, feow-citizens, have been the effects OF per-
hitting herself to be led when -he should have placed
herself in the ead-of ndorsing the opinions Of others
when She should boldly have proclaimed her own.
The true Pennsylvania policy knows no North, no
South. no East no Westit being that which tends to
promote the good Of al whether farmers or planters,
miners or manufacturers makers OF railroads, or own.
ers Of Ships 1t is that policy which seeks to obtain
perfect freedom of commerce among ourselves, and
with the world at large, by means Of such measures Of
protection as shall enable all to unite in the effort to
increase tie productyeness Ofthe labor of each and all
there being perfect harmony tie real and perma-
nen interests OF every section Of country, and every
portion Of our population. That the existence OF such
harmony may have the chance Of being fully demon
strated but little is required except another long
pull another strong pull and another pull all together,
by the men Of the Keystone State. To that end we
invite your further cooperation, pedging ourselves
that in the effort for its accomplishment our city viii
fully perform its share of the work.
