New England Elections.

our readers that when the late tariff
bill was before Congress, that the
Chicago Tribune denounced it as a
measure that would transfer from
the pockets of western consumers to
those of New England manufacture

per annum, and the n. Y. Independ-
cut after making the same assertion
pronounced the measure as
infamous. Indeed, so hagitious to-
wards western interests was the
measure, that nearly all our west
srn representatives in Congress
voted against the bill.
Now the lesson Of this election is
this. In the west the radicals are
urging that congress must be sus-
tanned because of its antagonism to
The President. In the New England
states the same party urge that
congress must be sustained. and

But that any man, after understand

mentioned, the measures the east
has voted to sustain, should reJolce

Instead of rejoicing, rejecting
men would have wondered, had the
result been different from what it
has been. An annual bride or tax
transferring 5000, 600, 600 from the
pockets Of the western consumer to
those of the eastern capitalists. is
reason enough why those states
should endorse members of congress

interests of such magnitude to the
east.
If our readers will refer to the
Tribune almanac there they will
lind that the New England states
control every important committee
in both houses of congress, and have
done SO for the past five years. In
this manner senator FcsscMlen of
Maine got through congress the in
