REPUBLICAN HARMoNY.-The New
York Eueniny Post, leading Rcpub-
lean organ, but devoted to free trade
principles, CONSTITUTES the Tariff resolu.
ton of the Republican Chicago Platform
to mean reciprocal free trade" and
threatens to finish the Republican Presi
dent, when he shall have been elected,
if he does not act upon that construction.
1t says:
"The construction we have placed upon this
resolution we shall hold to firmly. II the Re-
publican party should elect its candidate. he
must act on that construction. or he will soon
find himself encountered by an opposition by
which he will be overwhelmed"
The Journal Of Commerce advises the
Post to give itself no uneasiness about
what shall be ''if the Republican party
should elect its candidate" and adds
that the story of the milk maid with her
tactical burden, which was so unccremo-
niously scattered upon the ground may
be worthy of the Posts consideration.

DuDUoUE DEpTs.-The Dubuque city
debt amounts to the ronD. sum OF one
million Of dollars, according to the Her.
aid, the annual interest OF which IS one
hundred thousand dollars. The other
taxes, for city, State AID county purPo:-
es, falling on the city will increase TINS
annual drain to the enormous sum OF
$2OO,OOO-an amount exceeding the
profits of the entire business of the city.
The editor insists very justly that !: IS
entirely out Of the question tor the Peo-
pie of Dubuque to pay SO great an an
nual tax, and that tie interest OF cred
itors not less than hat Of debtors, de-
mands an arrangement upon some prac-
teal basis and to tbs end he suggests
that the stock of the ;ity and the various
railroads be taken in part payment OF the
city debt, and that u this be added city
to sufficient amount to bring
the debt within the ability to meet the
annual interest by taxation.

1t Is practical, as, for instance, in oppo-
sing change in the naturalization laws,
and impractical so far as it asserts a
policy to be maintained abroad. On the
other points of public policy, which are
treated, the platform is pliabic enough to
suit any purpose, and will obtain an
abundance of conflicting interpretations
to suit local interests. In q word, it j.
an artful attempt to express and to hide
the true aim of the party-t the abolition
