Distress "in woolen," In winter. appeals

sun the distress which over-prpduction
mas Drought upon the woolen interest, is de-
serving Of commiseratlOn, and ought to
be faithfully 'simprovedH by the sufferers
In tracing their calamities 10 the proper
cause.
IL Is plain that the reason why the mar
ket Is overstOcked withwoolen goods Il that
there have been too many wooden goods
made; the reason why there have been too
many goods made is that there are too many
people making them. The reason why so
many goods can not be sold at a profit Is
that the cost of subsistence Is so high. es-
pecially the products of agriculture. The
reason why the products Of agriculture are
SO scarce and dear Is because so many peO-
pie and so much enterprise and capital
have been withdrawn from agricultural
pursuits to engage In manufactures. The
reason for such a wholesale desertion of
agriculture Is that people have been falsely
educated Into the belief that a protective
tariff as exorbitant as that we now live
under, could oyerrule the laws Of trade and
control the market.
Now, when their hope has failed, they
come clamoring to Congress for more tariff,
when they ought to have learned that gov
ernment can no more give them a steady
market than 1t can give TO the,ferry boats on
the East River uniform hight of tide.
Ifit were not for the effects of the tariff,
Ia making subsistence costly, and prices
high, the woolen manufacturers would not
be In distress, because II they had manu-
factured cheaply. they would be able to
sell their goods abroad as well as at home
would not be confined TO a single mar
ket but have all the world open to them.
But by their own folly they have shut the
worlds markets against them. and now cry
out for help, because they had not the
wisdom 20 so manage as not to overstock
our own limited market.
The wooden manufacturers now demand
cheap wool. That is to say, they would
like free trade in wool, but protection for
wool manufacturers.

The Attitude of the President

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gdsette, in speaking of the late
sth of January celebration in that city, al
which the President was present, says:
"At no time since his elevation to the Pres
idency has he given such decided evidence
that he may be fully trusted in any emer-
gency, and that he will be found equal to
the task of meeting the dangers that threat
en- the country. His presence seemed TO in
spire the speakers with spirit which has
been quite unusual for the past few years
1t would be invidlous to particularize, but
| may, with propriety, say that the speech
es of Messrs. Black, COwan, DOolittle, Mer-
rick and Rodgers exhibited a tone far dit
ferent from the tlmid and trucking eloeu-
tion INDUCED in of late by the opponents
of Congressional usurpation. In impas-
stoned and emphatic language, the Presi-
dent was pointedly told by these gifted
orators that upon the first attempt of the
plOtters at the Capital TO carry their infa-
nous insurrectiOnary projects into practi-
cal effect, they would look TO him, as Com
mdnder-fR-chtef Of the Army and Macy, TO
exercise his functions 20 MeiFJ extent, and
that they could, after the occurrences Of this

'the sources of danger to the Republic
The fellow went in, on a high key of blatant
elocution. The Herald says of his stuff:
with all our charity for the man, and
the leniency of our political and social bias
towards HIS race-with willingness to
assist, and a positive opposition to old
measures that would again visit upon them
the rigors of servitude. we nevertheless can
feel no tolerance for a representative man
of the African, when he gives utterance to
such infamous and unholy sentiments as
Douglass uttered last evening. They were
an insult to the character of our people, q
vile SANDER on the institutions of ouI
country, and an outrage and an Offending
against all dignity and manliness-dis-
graceful alike TO the association and to the
narrow and despicable party prejudice
that could applaud the libelous and i'm

British View of Our Financial
Strength.

From the London Times, December 1871
At first sight nothing Is. more striking
than the condition of the American finan-
ces. We are astonished at the spectacle of
"a great self-governed nation undergoing.
apparently without murmur or remon-
STRANGE, load of taxation. which is with
out parallel in history. Not only is the
actual amount of revenue raised for ma
tional purposes in the United States greater
than has ever been raised elsewhere it is
furnished by a system of imposts of the
most CALLING and eXtrayagant nature. The
intricacy and minuteness Of our own finan-
cial system in our worst days are simDle
compared with those of the Union. The
exercise of every trade is fettered by this
peculiar burden; every act of sale is made
the occasion of levying tribute to the
treasury. The total revenue thus acquired
Is far in excess of the current wants of the
nation, and a surplus aeerues of such a
magnitude as to promise to pay off its stu-
pendous debt before the generation passes
away which saw it created.
