The war is ended, tho rebellion is subjuga-
ted and peace is at hand, under the victori
Gus ensign of the. Union. From its awful
baptism of blood and fire the nation has ell.
tered a new life--a new career Of prosperity,
unity and power. Through four years Of the
most formidable and terocions rebellion i'll
the history of any civilized people we have
made manifest to the world the tremendous
vitality and strength of our national govern
ment and popular institutions and the great
American Republic stands thisalay the arbiter
of the American continent. p III; "a n
Our losses in this gigantic struggle would
have swamped any other country, excepting,
perhaps, Russia and yet not only in the ma
tcrial elements of war, but in population and
in wealth, the United States are immensely
stronger than at the beginning of the contest
For four years, North and South included we
have had million OF ablebodled men with
drawn from our producers and supported at
the public expense, while devoted to the work
of destruction of human life and property
Within these four years we have lost us much
as two cotton crops; each OF four million
bales, at least two full crops OF Louisiana su-
gar and the Southern staples Of rice and to-
bacco have been proportionatcly diminished
We have lost on both sides, from battle, dis
case and from sufferngs incident to the war;
including dead and disabled, not less perhaps
than half million of able-bodied men, BY
the ravagcs of the war in the Southern States
thousands of millions Of property have been
DESTROYED, thousands of once wealthy families
have been reduced to poverty, and tens of
thousands of widows aud orphans have been
brought to the trials Of starvation. The
Shareholders of the South have been despoied
of fo,tf' million ofslaves, valued at one time
of peace at two thousand millions Of dollars.
The rcbeious States have 'squandered three
thousand millions in carrying ON the war, and
the loyal States, in addition to theirtaxes and
lavish free contributions to the national cause
have piled up, a national debt of twenty-five
hundred millions, and vet the Union is strong
er in wealth and population today than it was
at the first bombardment of Fort Sumter

industry of the country rather than on foreign
capital and labor, it is not matter of sur
prise that the dissatisfaction they created in
the public mind led to their speedy deposition.
Had the 3Sth Congress, however, been true to
the country, it would have been Just as easy
for them to realize an equal amount of reve-
nue. from imposts, or in equalizing it between
the two interests, thus maintaining their rela-
tive positions, either of which course we be-
lieve would have given satisfaction to the
complaining party and prevented the conse-
quences of which they now complain. But
no; such course was repugnant to the gentle-
men and would deprive them of the satisfac-
ton of inaugurating an evil productive Of
much distress to the country, the responsibility
Of all which they hoped successfully to charge
upon the Government. 1t is source of sat
isfaction, therefore, to the country, and par
ticularly the industrial portion of community,
that the schemes of these drivelers have been
signaly rebuked in the late election for mem
bers to Congress, on which occasion nearly
one hundred of this class of free trders were
elected to stay at home, so that decided
majority of the incoming Congress will be
composed Of honest, practical men, who, in
their future proceeding, will appreciate the
obligations resting upon them, not only in rails
ing the requisite amount Of revenue, but in
apportioning it carefully, SOFAS to guard the
industrial interests Of the country, and before
whom @TheaAmeriean Iron Co" may with
confidence lay their grievances with assurance
