The honest phllosopher ofthe will

The honest philosopher ofthe white

tive tariffs and Southern manufactures.

Pittsburg. He isquite at home there,
and speaks OF the manufacturing pros
poets of people whom he does not
understand, but would fain. dictate to
from distance. This politically pur-
blind puritan, whose first days in poll
tics in Albany, promised better things,
delivered his lecture in Pittsburg on
the 4th inst, to the manufacturers OF
that city. He told them MOTTO expect
much from the present Congress. 1t
had been elected on issues with which
"protection" had but little to do.
Then coming to affairs in the South
he said:
He longed for the day when everything
connected with slavery and rebellion would
be finally and satisfactorily settled and the
Tariff question opened up, and the people,
particularly agriculturists, educated there

substantially on our side. They now feel
the Importance Of manufactures to the re-
construction of their industry. They have
people who could be made useful in the de-
velopment Of their ramifed industry, He
knew that tho leading Southerners felt that
the expenditure of their capital on one or
two great staples was o mistake, and that
their beds of iron ore and minerals should be
developed. At9
He believed that we are to have an i'm

South, such as We have never felt, and that

cities would be found In accord with the

Within ten years, he could say, the South
would be a strong pillar in favor of pTotec-
tion for American industry. SO soon as we
conld bury out of sight, in grave dug by
justice, the sore created by slavery and re-
bellion, strength and support we have
never had before, will rise mp in the South,
and in the great West We will be enabled to
show the mass of producers that their inter-
ests are bound up in the prosperous and
thrifty growth Of manufactures.
He said we should bepatient, resolute and
hopeful-not instantly hopeful. We had
never succeeded In getting tariff without
great agitation of the subject. We must
work for it, convince the people of its great
Importance, enlighten and warn them, so
that they will come from California, from
Illinois, and, perhaps, from South Carolina,
all demanding protection for our industry
not of a class nor of party, but of the pro-
auctions of the American people Of the en-
tire land.
