permanent relief to the Treasury
Al this is within the immediate abll
ity Of Congress, and the pext fifty
days must determine whether it shall
or shall not be realized.
Let it in no case be forgotten, that
We are 10 vanquish our lingering EN-.
5arrassmcnts only by INDUSTRY and
/ ECONOMY. There is no other way.
We desire 4 Protective Tariff, be.
cause we are sure it would summon
thnnsands from idlennss and ineii
cheney to positive, productive work.
We want such tariff, because we be-
lieye it would add many millions per
annum to the proceeds Of our furna-
ces, factories, torges, workshops, with
out subtracting one penny worth from
the products of our farms, but rather
increasing the quantity while enhan-
cling the price paid therefor to the
producers. We desire q Protective
Tariff, not to enhance the market val
ue Of corner-lots-which it can but
rarely and meagerly do-not to ena-
bic more persons to live and thrive
as mere gO-betwcenS-but to bring
producers and consumers nearer each
otner, and thus enable each to buy
cheaper while selling dearer, instead
OF WASTING half to two-t thirds OF their
several products in etfecting their EX-
CHANGE. In short, we want Pro-
tectiye Tariff to render work more
plentiful and remunerative at home,
and enable our country TO pay OFF in
stead OF increasing her oncrous Debt.
| Those who fancy that this or any
other beneiiccnt measure would re-
store the excessive trade, wild specu-
lations, and general prodigality, of
former years, will aSsuredly find
themselves disappointed in the result.
The world does not need more go-bc-
twcens, but fewer, and has resolved to
reduce, either by bankruptcy or star
yatlon, the number engaged in and
subsisted by merchandising, TO point
much nearer the level of actual ne
cessity. Protection, railroads, union
stores, and other contrivances for
simplifying traffic and eliminating
thcretrom the element of loose credit,
all tend to this result, so that the
good time coming differs vitally
from the Hush times so recently past.
Let whoever would share in the pros
pcrlty that is to be, be sure that he

Thus far Mr.. GnEELEY.-In the country

ner that would operate very benefiCially to
the public. 1t is the imperative duty OF every
man and woman, who has means, TO aid in
furnishing Employment to all-especially al
when "a friend in need is friend indeed"
A new Tariff alone (however necessary

best government can only aid individual pros

If Farmer A. buys $4,000 of the Merchant

must soon find the Sheriff upon him. So if
America imports from Europe One Hundred

During the past year, the process of pay
ing off old dues, and living within honest
means, has discharged untold millions of in
debtedness, all over the land, and we are
just SO much nearer daylight. Let this be |
another year, and all. will know
where they stand, and can move firmly.
THE YEARlSj9 SHOULD BE A YEAR
OF FULL SETTLEMENTS. Let every
man during the season do all he can to settle /
up' erery account, big and little, down TO the
3lst of December next, and 1860 would open |
like Year Of Jubilee!
Work-work-at something honorable and
useful, no matter how common or how much
ess remuneralive than you desire; it is the
'nly way to sure prosperity.
Buy nothing not absolutely needed, unless
'ou can pay down for it, and owe nothing.
;redlt no one unless for the necessaries of
ife, and thus realize all your earnings.
Courage, kindness, energy, thoughtful
ess, manly labor, and decision will-under

he wilderness Of doubt ard gloom.-God
rant that we-as individuals and as peo-
have sense enough TO profit by the
evere lessons we have been taught!
"a settlement" does not necessarily in
ude a pGymenf-although that is always
cry advisable and desirable. But get your
ebts and credits in a tangible, undoubted
ate, so that your heirs, executors, admins
ators or assigns can master them without ,
spute or loss. Settle by note, bond, due
