Free Trade.

It is encouraging to know that the
most intelligent manufacturers Of New
England are looking at the subject i'll
this point of view. They need cheap
coal, which they could have from No
va Scotia if it were not for the tariff;
they need cheap transportation from
the West 10 diminish the cost of their
food, but the tariff on railroad iron
makes transportation expensive; they
need cheap lumber, which Canada
would furnish, if it were not for the
duty; they could purchase leather,
and wool and other raw materials of
their manufactures at about half their
present cost if trade were free; and
an intelligent self interest is bringing
them to see that their prosperity as a
manufacturing community is really
obstructed by the tariff which has
been enacted under this pretence of
benefit. There is no part of the coun-
try where the abandonment of protec-
ton will have so potent an influence
in bringing it into general discredit as
its renunciation by New England
We, therefore, feel the Iivelicst gratifi-
cation at the Inauguration Of vigor-
Gus and influential Free Trade Reform
League in the Yankee metropolis

All the free governments that ever
fiourished became fyrannies, and fell
in exactly the same way. History is
monotonous with the story OF the ruin
of nations by the same events in the
same order. Always the motive pow
er is minority ofplotting politicians.
They study first to secure 10 them
selves the plunder and spoil of the
national wealth. They can only sue
ceed in this by getting power, and
they cannot get power so long as those
constitutional forms are intact by
which power belongs to the majority.
Down goes the Constitution, therefore
crippled at first by restriction at one
point, an addition at another, and
overlaid by changes Of every sort.
But the most important change is that
the executive is always reduced to q
nulity. In free government, espec-
tally Fedelnl government, the exec
utive is the only direct expression
there is of the majority of the whole
people. He represents the popular
unity, while all other representation
is of parts. He is the keystone of an
arch. lie is the will OF the nation-its
initiative. And il a nation is to be
really vital among nations.-to be re-
spected, and strong and free-the only
theory of government upon which it
can stand is that the executive is the
government, and all other parts are
but safeguards to prevents tyranny.
This is the reverse ofWhat the oligarchs
say-they holding that Congress is
the government, and the executive the
functionary of Congress. Pursuing
this idea, the ambitious minority al
ways works upon the fears of the peo-
pie by representing the executive as
aiming at tyranny, and thus executive
power is given into the hands of the
legislature. Then follow in the con-
flict of schemes and consels disorder,
license, corruption, anarchy, the des-
truction of property, the loss of all
public m orality, till the ration becomes
a banditti and is blotted out, or till
some fellow halts his guard in front
of the legislative hall, strides in and
declares himself first consul, king or
emperor, and has the applause of the
nation because at least ne represents
order and safety. One might write a
formal history of Republics OH this
outline of events, changing the names
to suit occasion, and it would be al
ways true.-N. Y. Herald.

Tie radicals, upon whom Sprague.
has been making such furious and
telling assaults lately, have been try.
ing to console themselves fory the con-
-tusions he has inflicted, with the, idea
that the little Rhode Islander is crazy.
Ben, Butler is too shrewd, however, to
accept this theory. In q recent con-
versation, he said . r. a.. -..rsaf
g Sprague has plety- of pluck In
fact, it was Sprague's pluck that caused
his quarrel with Burnside Spragues
wanted him to make an attack on the
enemy, which Burnside refused, and it,
was that which made Sprague SO much
Yeyed. Spragne will fight. There is
no doubt about, that. And he knows
What he's about too. Crazy! Bless
you no, He knows very well what
he is about. He wants to organize o
new party, and place himself at the
head of the working men of the .coun-
try. That's what he is after. He is i'll
earnest too in what he. says, and be-
lieves it all, All reformers have been
set down as crazy, and Sprague cannot
expect to escape that charge any more
than those who have gone before him.
He is nota speaker. He hasn't been
accustomed to making speeches; and
it would bother almost any man to
get up in the Senate of the United
States to make speeches. He expert
ences the natural embarrassments- OF
all novices ON such occasions. That is
the explanation, take it. -au =. ~

Radical Opinion of Grants Foreign ETin-
,..fff. listers.
The New York Times. radical
journal with moderate views, crit
icises the foreign appointments of the
new Administrations no little sfl2'-
casm. 1t says,E'the changes have been
numerons,and less disastrous, perhaps,
than we had reason to apprehend.R 1t
commends Curtin for Russia and Jay
for Austria. Thinks Motley for Eng
land only creditable," and Wash
burne for France mot better fitted
than his predecessors, while Shella-
barger for Portugal "will not be great
ly missed elsewhere" Regards it wise
to have retained Marsh for Italy, and
Bancroft for Prussia; and a great mis-
fortue for the country that Charles
Francis Adams was not returned
Minister to England; or at least in
vited into the Cabinet.
THE country needs, and will con-
tinue to ne.d more and more, the
practical services in Government of
men of ability, masters Of political
history, large experience in public af-
fairs, and the temper which takes rea-
son and Judgment, rather.than passion
and prejudice, as guides i'll practical
conduct. And yet it seems to be
growing more and more difficult to
get such men into official position, or
TO keep them in when once there.
b. The changes made by Gen. Grant,
though they do not elevate our foreign
service, and will not greatly improve
it, either in character or credit, do not
disgrace it. They have been too gen
orally treated as coin for. the payment
of personal or political obligations,
and evince 10 very thorough knowl-
edge OF the qualifications required for
effective service in the foreign field
The assignment is consequently the
work of a man new to this special de-
partment-ef one clearly not Ja@ili0''

the tax on whiskey Withdrawn from

to $23S, ,268 40. In addition to this
there were thousands of dollars tax
