Second Letter from Geo. 4. Shu}tldt,
EAq.
Editors Chicago Tribune:
1t has been said that In the day of triumph,
in The hour Of Victory, We of the North
should be magnanimous thst We should sex-
tend The right hand Of fellowship, the right
arm Of d1ternal love--to onr erring brother
TO welcome him back TO the protection Of
that Government upon whose life he had laid
the murderer'e hand-and a. = mere experiment
to test the sincerity and loyalty Of these peo-
pic, It were perhaps well. As IN exhibition
of moral greatness, there Is no grander illus
tration in history, than the mere statement Of
the fact that since the close Of this terrible
war not a single traitor has been
brought 10 trial and punishment.
Of. al the hundreds Of thousands
who have been engaged in this monstrous 70.
helIion, and who have been confessed1y guilty
of crimes which have no parallel In the criml.
ual records ot the world, there is but SINGLE
instance in which 3 just punishment has been
mctcd ont. Henry Wirz, poor, miserable
instrument Of The much greater criminals,
was brought to the sca1old for the violation
OF the laws Of war; but lis principals. the
more exalted tsaitozs, have escaped their de-
scrts. Davis, Lee, iaucey and Cobb. who In
augurated the rebellion, 60 unpunishcd, and
50 OF tens Of Thousands Of lesser note But
when this exItr1mentive magnanimity failed,
when We found these whipped traitors return
ing TO the National Capital, demanding, with
all the old insolencc OF the Southern cli' airy
their rights aud prfyilegcs-Whcn wetound the
Legislature Of one Southern State seeking to
re-enslave the negro, and that Of anothar re-
fusinE 10 declare the ordinance OF secession

A LITTLE CATECHlsM FOH LITTLE PRO-
TECTIONISTS.

Edltou Chicago Tribune:
Did you ever happen to zee the "Catechisn
on the Corn Laws,' published in England, In
the year 1942, written by Major General
Thompson, the British army! England, you
know, had fair system Of protection, IL any
system of protection can be called fair-thnt
is, she protected Ill classes alike, farmers as
we'll "a manufacturers. She distributed her
bounties and intererencea impartially among
all kinds Of producers. In this country We
protect only the manufacturing class. The
Catechfsm On the Corn Laws was written to
show especially the absurdlty Of protecting
the agricultural class; but the questions and
answers viii serve quite as we'll in our own
controversy. :. Let me give you few extracts,
yautatis fn,tandh-
Que.tfon.-Wh hat is meant by Protection?
Ansuer.-Laws which enact that the far
mcr shall not exchange his produce for cloth
Ing, except at certain shops;' or not without
paying a fine.
Q.-What are tho effects Of these laws.
A.-The same In kind as would arise from
limiting the cloth used in the United States
to what could be produced In Rhode Island.
Q.-What would be the effects OF such a
limitation, ! :
Il A.-Thc highest prices of cloth and the
Lowest prices OF corn-as is the case now.
II Q.-Are not tie increased profits Of manu-
iacturere national eains
A.-In the first place, all TINT they gain must
be taken from somebody else, which can make
no national gain. Secondly, the effect Is to
keep down the wealth Of the community In
the same manner as would take place If the

eu,nmation-importaut both upon grounds OF

to be hoped that It will meet with cordial and
prompt endorsement. We are g1ad to know,

purpoecs. While the need in the latter case
may not be 20 pressing and imperative
as in the former, the member

cannot be without such m Institution, with.

had the pleasure Of attending the "Can1l
Convention" to-day ut ~Geueseo, md while
your reporter will no doubt give your readers
the particulars Of tho meeting, allow me to
contribute portion ofny observation.
The peopls secm thoroughly aroused on
the subject Of obtaining other means than
those now existing, Of oftransportattonf from the
Mississippi; River to the lakes The meeting
was well attended, aud I never Baw 80
many good looking men at any meeting,
I do not mean handsome men, but men
of brains and energy, apparently farmers
or 1aborine men, with slight spsankliug Of
the professional among them, all in
telligcnt thinking, honest looking men. Tbs
feeling was unanimous that someLhiag must
be done TO remedy the evils Of which they so
Justly complain, the practicability of 8 ship
canal was pretty thoroughly discussed, with
the final conclusion that 9 survey could only
demonstrate the facts Of its feasibility A
canal seemed to be the only relief contem-
plated .'..
Now I should not urge the thought that
the days Of building canals of such magnitude
as the proposed one are gone by; and Leg
leave TO suggest that much smallcr amount
would build railroad from here to Chicago
than would be required to build csnal. /
believe also that railroad would be better
and Of more service to the country. It is not
| the railroads but the railroad companies
arc the vampires that prey on tho country.
A Arailroad properly managed would not be
Oppressive. in It's carrying. Of freight:
at IN immense cost to some one. II will be
liable to damage BY frcshets at time when It
| cau be used TO advantage. Ice Will obstruct It
for nenrly half the Teaf. It can never come
in competition With the railroads IN the pas-
senger business, and can only be used about
tix months tn the year, when no accidents by
food or otherwise occur to it, IN the trans
portatjou Of bulky articles. Let us have
competition in the carrying business. Let
the people build railroads for their own ac-
commodation, not to benefit the stockholders,
as is now the case, but the people. Let them
zee that the roads nre economically managed.
The passenger tariff should be reduced one
half at least, and such regulations adopted as
would not make the passengersi in rail car feel
aslf they had no rights white man Is bound
to respect" and make them subject to the or
deFs Of every png-nosed brakeman they
| chance to nect-ns Is tho case On many OF
1 the roads running to your city.
But to prevent monopoly We must have
competition. Build canal and only the
heavier articles Of commerce will be carried
by it. Bnild railroads ind competition Is
/ secured in nn departments Of co1nerce and
trnTel. This Is what We must have Sooner
| orlnter,-whht The progress md development
