THE PENDING TARIFF BILL.

A bill is now before the House proposing a
very moderate increase in the duties levied on
Iron, Steel, Copper, and few other articles
which compete injuriOusly with the products
of our rival home industries. We believe the
changes proposed judicious, and that their
adoption would promote the National we'll
being by increasing the aggregate product of
our own labor and reducing the balance OF
trade-that is, of indebtedness-which the in
fation of our Currency and the comparatively
high prices of our Labor tend steadily to aug
ment
Yet we must protest against the assumption
of The Press (Philadelphia) that the Repubh-
can party is bound to pass this or any such bill
is bound as a party to pursue any particular
course in the premises. The Republican party
has committed itself to no such measure. 1t is
made up of Protectionists' and Free Traders;
the former being largely in the majority in its
ranks, just as it is composed in greater num-
bers of White than of Black men, yet not ex-
clusvely of either. A Republican has perfect
right to favor Protection or Free Trade, as his
own Judgment shall determine; and he is not
to be dragooned, as a Republican, into
voting for either. The Press rants and raves
narrowly and unwisely.
The Erening Post on the other hand,
threatens the Republican party with over
throw if it does not defeat the very bill
which The Press adjures it to pass on penalty
of ruin! This is as absurd as the antagonist
Objurgatons of The Press. We exhOrt each
Republican Member to vote for or against the
bill, as he shall judge most conducive to the
public good and trust to the Republican
partys vitality whether the bill be passed
or rejected.
Tile Post did not treat the Democratic
party, when it adhered to that organization
as it treats the Republican. IN 1898, for
example, a Jackson Democratic Congress
framed and passed an ayowedly and strin-
gently Protective Tariff, imposing duties
enhanced beyond all precedent. The Post
was then a Democratic journal. Did it
threaten the Democratic party with defeat
if it should pass that Tariff Did it oppose
Martin Van Buren,, who voted for it, when he
ran directly after for Governor? Did it call
on the people of our State to defeat their
Democratic representatives, of whom large
majority voted for that bill9 So did those of
Pennsylvania, of Ohio, and Of Kentucky. Why
should The Post denOunce in the Republican
party that which it so easily tolerated in the

worse deprecI alton than any which the crcu-
lating medium has suffered yet; and TINS ne
does for factiOus and sinister purposes, ana
with the full knowledge that his careless words
may prove the ruin of thousands. Now Will
DIR. Morgan, who prayed for Truth and JUS
tice be good enough to deal with Gov.
Seymour, who has done all in his power to
bring the paper of the Government into public
contempt and to destroy the credit OF
the Treasury VIII he do this for the
sake of the widows and orphans who, IN
the hour of public peril, invested their means
in the national securitiesg Does not Gov. Sey-
mour know that, by such speeches, he is dong
the same thing which he charges upon the Re
pubicans7 And when the Governor ends his
speech with a prayer to Almighty God" to
bestOw upon us the blessings OF peace, good
"order, and fraternal Affection" does he not
see that it is but poor way to promote these
TO talk about "hate and malice lingering IN
"meaner breasts 2" He really doesn't seem en-
tirely free from his share of both. Breasts are
comparative, but the breast out of which came
the words "My Friends !" addressed to a
raving and murderOus mob, would seem to be
mean enough for all practical purposes, and
not to be so full of " Religion and Piety" as
it might be.
1t will give us pleasure to mark the advance
of the Democratic Party in "Truth and JUS
" tice," to say nothing of Religion and Piety"
Considering how old it is, it has great deal
of lost time to make up, and it comprises IN
its bundle several crooked sticks which it may
be no easy job to strighten. Under these cir
cumstances, perhaps it might be as well to
employ chaplain by the year.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-07-09

The candidate who defeated Pendleton yes
day, after he had risen to 157 votes, and who
will probably prevent the nomination of Han
cock, though he received 144i votes, and who
will in the same way defeat Hendricks, is
named ULYSSES s. GRANT. In other words.
the consciousness that neither Hendricks, Han
cock, nor Pendleton can be elected over Grant
is the real and only reason why the Conven-
ton has been unwilling to nominate either.
The strength of both PendletOn and Hancocl,
has probably been fully tested, and both are
shelved. Pendleton's friends will have votes
and vindictiyeness enough in any event to pre-
vent Hendricks getting the two-thirds. This
leaves only two untried candidates open to the
Convention, viz Seymour and Chase. Sey-
mour will persist in declining until it appears
that he has votes enough outside of New-York
with those of New York, to nominate him.
When this appears, he will assent or gracefully
submit. The strength of Chase is not yet de-
veloped, and probably the Convention will play
out good deal more rope before it will die
on either Chase or Seymour. The objection to
the former is that Pendletons friends can de-
feat him in the Convention if they try, and the
objection to the latter is that Grant can too
easily defeat him at the polls. While Chase
would be the strongest candidate at the polls.
Seymour. eff lie would consent Gas he will

WHAT DR. MORGAN PRAYED FOR

It is q mark, if not of returning grace at
least of the absence of tee-tOtal deprayity, that
the Democratic National Convention, with
out the least regard for the feelings of Mr.
McMullen, employed a chaplain. The Rev. Dr.
Morgan on the first day prayed for six very
good things, viz I. Peace and Happiness. 2.
Truth and Justice. 3. Religion and Piety.
The trouble about DR.. Morgan's first concate-
nation is that so many of the gentlemen lately
in rebellion don't find any happiness in peace /;
about the second, that truth and Justice might
result in the hanging of so many of the Ku-
Klux Klansmen; about the third, that if there
had been only little more religion and piety
in this country, there would MT have been any
Democratic Convention, and perhaps even Mr.
McMulen might have been upon our side-the
most disagreeable result of religion and piety
which can possibly be suggested by the most
lively imagination.
Several queries occur to us. Among Others
will Peace and Happiness be promoted by this
constant admission of the Democratic party
that Loyalists were in the wrong and are in
the wrong still, and that Rebels were in the
right and are in the right still 7 Yet that is
what the Democratic Platform amounts to-
That is substantially what Mr.. Seymour's
speech amounts to. The Rebellion could not
be put down without depreciation of the
currency, and therefore the Rebellion should
not have been put down at ALL When the
Governor thanks God that the strife of arms
has ceased" and in the next breath under
takes to set by the ears the capital and the
labor Of the country, he is seeking to create

In demanding that Government bonds shall
be taxed equally with every other species Of
property, the Democratic Convention asks
either that the United States shall tax property.
which is laying direct tax-which Congress
by Section 9 of Article l. of the Constitution
of the United States, is forbidden to door
else that the States shall tax the Government
bonds, which the Supreme Court Of the United
States has at least three times decided to be
unconstitutional. AS the champions of tho
Constitution and of the final authority of the
Supreme Court, the Democratic party seems on
this question to be undertaking the dangerous
and difficult feat of swallowing itself whole.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-07-09

unique feature in the Tammany Platform
is its demand for tariff for revenue. only, and
such internal taxes as, being equal, shall afford
incidental protection to domestic manufactures.
How domestic manufactures are to be protected
from foreign manufactures by the taxes levied
on domestic manufactures, is a problem before
which the profoundest economist might stand
appalled,. How this is to be done by equal in
ternal taxes renders the darkness still moro
impenetrable. And why domestic manufsc-
lures should be protected by our Internal
Revenue laws, which is impossible, and should
not be protected by our Import Tariff laws,
where it is possible, utterly obfuscates alike
all sane men, whether Protectionis.s or Free
Traders. 1t must have been the heat of the
day and the exhaustion
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-07-09

Not the least dubious of the clauses Of the
Democratic platform is that which demands
"tbe regulation of the elective franchise in the
Estates by their citizens" IL is impossible for
the citizens of a State to regulate the elective
franchise except through the exercise of the
elective franchise. Now, by demanding that
the citizens" of State shall regulate its
franchise. the Democratic Convention, by i'm
plicatiOn, demands that they shall have the right
to vote in order to do so. Bat this is universal
suffrage. What the Democratic party really
means is that only the white citizens of a State
shall regulate the elective franchise for il
they concede that the entire body of citizens of
State may exclude any portion on account Of
color, then they cOncede that in South Carolina
the blacks, who are nearly two-thrds of the
citizens, can exclude the whites, and so dis

authors of the platform.

The bonds of the Government could now be
bought in by the Secretary of the Treasury, il
he had the means, at the rate of u cents per
dollar in gold, or from 107 to 112 in currency
1t seems superluOus to discuss the question
whether we shall pay them in gold or green
backs, when we might buy them at % per cent
discount if we had the gold to buy them with.
and from to IL per cent premium in cur
rency, if we had the greenbacks to buy them
with-the real trouble being that it is just "a
impossible for the Government to get the green
backs to pay them with as to get the gold, il
either are to be raised by taxation. II, how
ever, the Democratic platform means that the
Government is to issue new greenbacks in pay
ment of the public debt, the question ARISES
Since the greenbacks are mere promises to pay.
in what currency is the Government to redeem
the greenbacks7 If they are never TO be re-
deemed at all, then why not save the needless
expense of printing them by repudating the
whole debt at OnceP If they are to be re-
deemed in gold. how much cheaper will it be
to pay off the debt in greenbacks and redeem
the greenbacks in gold than to pay off the
debt in gold at once, without the interposi-
ton of the greenbacksf

when his consent will settle the matter), wiz
be, after the stock gladiators are killed OF, the
most available candidate in the Convention.
While the New York delegation have pursued
Machiavellian (alias Democratic) policy To-
wards PendletOn and the West it is doubtful
whether the PendletOn forces would not sooner
yield to Seymour than to either Chase, Han
cock, or Hendricks The sentiment expressed
by New-YOrk, Pennsylvania, and so many
other States, in voting for Church, Packer. and
other State candidates, is that if the nomina-
ton is to be conferred as an empty honor.
their States might as well have it as any other.
The Convention seem to agree in the opinion
that neither Pendleton, Hancock, nor Hen
bricks can, by any possibility, be elected.
