MIR. Bigler expressed his alarm at the turn
which was being given to the proceedings
This trepidation seemed greatly to anus,
Gov. Seward, who said:
IL begin by saying that must express
my profound sympathy with my friend
from Pennsylvania, that he sat here fort
night. and saw the protection. withdrawn
from the fishing interest, the great interest
of the northeastern states, that he sat hero
silent when the proposition was made to
withdraw the protection from the manufac-
ture Of salt, and that he comes at last to
the rescue of protection when sugar is in
danger. 1t shows that, where the treasure
is. there the heart is Also Mr.. President,
| am opposed to altering the tariff that we
made last year; am opposed to reducing
the duty on salt; l am opposed to disturb
ing the general arrangement, which was the
best we could arrive at, not perfect in all
things; bat if this business is to be carried
on OF striking down the interest Of the
country. one by one, am now prepared to
vote for abolishing sugar, which stands on
precisely the same ground as the PROPOSE
ton to abohsh the duty on salt Both are
necessaries of life; both are for the poor and
rich alike
Mr.. Bell-"And then IRON"
Mr.. Seward. And If the honorable SEN
ator from Tennessee will stand up, l will
go with him for considering the question of
iron too. Ihave as little interestas any ono
in either
Judge Trumbull deserves the thanks Of
the whole country. and especially of the
people Of the western states, remarks the
Missouri Democrat, for his timely move
ment in behalf of abolishing these sugar
duties that are taxing the white labor of the
nation to support the negro labor of the
south. We trust, now that he has got the
matter before Congress in so favorable a
shape, he will not let il fail for want of
pressing. 1t is time that the labor ques-
ton was imposing its policies upon other
departments of government than .srritori-
al management, and this matter of relief
from discriminating duties, is ono that
touches nearly its hold upon the confidence
of the masses. The senator from Illinois
is worthy to represent the free white work
ing men of the west. upon whom the unjust
tax falls heaviest. and we shall be disap-i
pointed if he does not push the national
demagouges to the wall upon that issue.

RE- 1t is not to be denied that the treas
ury of the United States is in deplorablc
condition, and the object now is either to
secure an additional loan in the way OF
treasury notes, or some modification of the
tariff. The receipts from all sources of
revenue do not amount to more than half
the expenditures, and with balance in the
treasury Of some four millions, it is not
surprisingly difficult to tell when that will
be exhausted. Are the expenditures too
large or the receipts from revenue too
small? Let those who know answer.
