THE SOUTHERN PROSPECT IN CONGRESS
CHEERING INTELLIGENCE" Druid"
the Washington correspondent of the New
York Ners, gives the following cheering ac-
count Of the Southern prospect in Congress ::
There are strong indications that Congress
will re-assemble on the 9th of January (for
practically the recess will last until them in
better frame of mind as regards the admis-
sion of the Southern members. There is an
open rebellion in the Republican camp
against the exclusive policy of Mr. Thaddeus
Stevens. The elements sufficient TO defeat
that policy in the House already exist there.
All that is wanted is leader for the moder-
ate and conservative Republicans. If Mr..
Raymond will assume that position it will be
cheerfkly conceded TO him. But he must
first home out boldly and strongly in defense
of the Presidents policy. If hewill not do
so some other leader will be found.
The Southern members of Congress have
only gone home to spend the Christmas holt
days. They will be here again by the
middle of January. Before the adjourn
ment of Congress they had an interview
with the President, and he gave them such
encouragement as leads them to believe that
they Will all De admltted before the close OF
this session, and some of them from Tennes-
see, Arkansas, and Virginia at very early
period. Soon after the 9th of January, an
attempt will be made to refer the credentials
of these members to the Committee on Elec-
tons. If this attempt is successful the bat
tie is won. For that committee will report
favorably to their admission, and the action
of the House will be sure to sustain the COM
mittee. The late message of the President
and the report of Gen. Grant, by which it
was supported, have contributed much to
bring about this result. All Of the mode
rate and conservative Republicans now say
that the question bears different aspect
than it did before that message was sent in.
They cannot, they say, at the mere dictation
Of Mr.. Stevens, overlook and set at nought
a State paper Of such gravity, emanating
from the executive branch of the Govern
ment Before this message there might have
been question as to the status of these
States; but there can be none now. Such
was the tone of many Of the Republicans be-
fore they left for their homes; and there
can be no doubt that they will come back in
the same frame Of mind.

= Here is an exhibit that places proteetionists in
bad light; with tariff Of forty or fifty per cent
on imported goods and premium of f0rty-six per
cent. on gold we ought 10 be heartily ashamed 81
ourselves to allow a single of these Engis h
prints come into this country with all the facilities
we have OF producing this class of domestics.'
To ascertain how much more we have
paid for the whole amount of dry goods con-
sumed in the country than we would have
paid without tariff, we must contrast what
they would have cost under free importa-
tions with the prices which have ruled. The
manufacturers Of New England grew so ex-
horbitant that during the past year prints
could be imported at profit, notwithstand-
ing the enormous tariff. They have found
it also to their interest not to run their mills
up to their full capacity. In keeping the
supply short they increased the demand, and
with it also their profits. There are conse-
quently to-day but small stocks on hand, and
the Economist says prices are likely to APP
preciate.
The facts demonstrate the fallacy Of the
argument or rather, the falsity of the pre-
tence, that protective tariff is necessary as
a measure for revenue. Grant that uuder
the operations Of such tariffthe manufac-
turers are enabled to add largely to our in
come under the internal tax laws, what pro-
portion does the amount paid by them bear
to that which the people pay in the increased
cost of the goods they are compelled 10 pur-
chase? We have shown that in the past
year this increased cost amounted to sum
equal 20 one-sixth of our entire public debt.
If the advocates Of protection will ascertain
the amount of internal tax paid by the
manufacturers, and deduct il from this sum,
theywill then discover the manner in which
the nation is helped to pay its Indebtedness
under the prevent system. This, assuming
which is far from being trae-that the in
creased cost Of our goods has been only the
average duties imposed BY the tariff
The protectionists must yield their pre-
tence that a high tariff is necessary as
measure for revenue. 1t would be far more
manly in Them to bring forward and rely
upon the cid threadbare argument of pro-
lection. The present difficulties are but in
creased by the tribute which the nation is
obliged to pay to the cotton lords Of New
England They are az impudent as ava
ricious. Their leader, Senator Sprague, has
already introduced a resolution in the
Senate at Washington, instructing the COM
mittee of which he Is chairman to inquire
into the propriety Of lessening the internal
tax upon manufacturers, and there are fair
prospects that il will report in favor Of the
measure, and that its suggestions Will be
adopted by Congress.

Atta inc NhicasV Aliut-.i
In our financial columns for several weeks
past there have been statements made. with
careful reference to facts appearing in con.
nection with them, demonstrating the oppres-
sion Of our present tariff laws 10 the Times
financial article of yesterday morning, and
also in one appearing q few mornings ago,
Il was shown that ''the increased cast of dry
posed, during the past year, h Tar; q I5nr I'M
people equal TO one-sixth of the entire pub
Lie debt" As the facts and figures sustain
ing this statement were in the article refer
red to, it is unnecessary here to reproduce
them. It's enough to say in this connection
that the statement rested on the assumption
that the average duty on imports of foreign
dry goods was about Az per cent. in gold,
or 663 per cent. in currency, which, added
to the aggregate amount of goods consumed,
would make the sum stated Those who
question the correctness of the assumption
must show that we stated the average of the
duty to be greater than il was, or the amount
consumed to be larger than it was. Failing
in this, they must coneede the correctness of
our position.
1t is remembered that this enormous tax
upon the people resulted merely from the
consumption Of dry goods. How they were
affected otherwise by protective tariff was
shown in the extract from the letter of Mr..
Tappen, general freight agent Of the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad, detailing the
Causes for the high rates of freight charged
by the road. These he alleged to be the in
creased cost of locomotives, rails, spikes,
castings, oil, and of all railway supplies.
Nearly all of the articles named by Mr. Tap
pen are subject to high tariff, and could be
purchased at reasonable prices under low
rate of duty.
But the magnitude of The tax imposed ON
the people by high tariff is not fully stated
even in the financial articles to which we
have referred The effect of the tariff was
for long time to exclude articles coming in
competition with those so extensively man
uiaetured in this country as nearly to supply
the demands OF trade. Our manufacturers
consequently were not content with adding
merely the duty of AL per cent. in gold
equal to 663 per cent. in currency-to the
cost and fair profits of their manufactures,
bat finding themselves guarded against COM
petition, they added much more. This is
shown by the subjoined extract from the New
York Economist Of this week:

Statistics Relative TO SHIPMENT of
Freight Across the Plains--s2, 40O,-
900 i'm Specie Reeeived---The Traffic
Seven Times Ga eater than I'm 1861.

ATcHINsoN. Kan, Jan. 3.-The Daily Champion
Of to-day publishes an accurate statement of the
amount of freight shipped from here across the
plains during the past year. Twenty seven firms
and individual freighters were engaged in this
trade during the year. The aggregate amount
Of their shipments was 2O.500OOO of as
sorted merchandise, requiring for its Transports
ton nearly 5000 wagons. over 1900 mules and
horses, and nearly 5000 oxen; employing up
wards of 5000 men. Over half this freight went
to Colorado; the remainder to different points in
Utah, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico, Ne
braska and western Kansas, including military.
posts. The total capital invested in this business
was over Sc 100000 The value of merchandise,
machinery and transportation is not definitely
known. The overland coaches, which leave and
arrive here daily, have taken over and brought in
over 1000 passengers, and also brought here 81,
100000 in specie. Butlerfeld's overland dispatch
has carried large number of passengers each
wav but that line having been established late in
the season, no accurate statement of its bust
ness is made The freighting business in this city
is times greater this year than in 1861, five
times larger than in 1862, four times larger than
in 1863 and 10000 pounds greater than in 1864.
The most experienced freighters think the trade
of 1866 will be nearly double that Of last year.
