modesty, we think he underestimated his
ability. As a military man he showed great
capacity-showed, in fact that his mind de-
veloped according to the exigencies of the
service, and that it was equal to The most try
ing circumstances. If he would lift himself
out OF the mire of party politics and the tram
mels of the party politicians that surround
him, he might become as distinguished in his
present high Office as he was in the war.
Though he might not have desired the Presi-
dency, and may not want to have it another

fed far more in his present position than if he

been As per cent--the highest and most
palmy tariff Of ALL Yet these are not the high
and palmy days of our China trade
Mr. Greeley alleges another bogus reason
the war for the Union, upon which AL our
energies and means were concentrated" It
is doubtless true that his loyal brethren. who
denounced everybody but themselves rs
traitors, preferred selling shoddy to the Gov
ernment at a swindliug profit. and co-operat-
ing with men like Mr.. Greeley's esteemed
and respected Sickles to cheat the Govern
mcnt at both ends of every bargain. to selling
goods to Cinnamon full weight, measure. and
quality for an honest price. Their sho3dy
loyalty paid better than Legitimate trade but
Mr.. Greeley ought to know that the China
trade. if profitable, would still have been car.
lied on. but the tariff which he would verify
increase to protect American tea-growing,
soon made our export trade impossible.
One more bogus reason alleged is that our
foreign commerce was given to the flames by
Great Britain Alabamas, Oretos and Shenan-
doahs. That was certainly in part n valid
reason for a time: it is not a valid reason five
years after the Rebel cruisers have ceased to
exist why we are unable to manufacture and
export to China GOO, 900 or 7OO,O GOO pieces of
drill and million pieces of other cotton
fabrics. But the protective tariff has made
an export trade impossible, and the IjibAuc
has a. little sense as ever it had of the crime
OF lashing popular passions into fury and
provoking civil or foreign wars.
''But our loss is partly caused also. by the
continued initiation of the currency" One
ounce of truth in a bushel of bubble. But
who created, who inflated this irredeemable
currency, and who now make specie payments
as impossible as an export trade to China:
You the 113buHc; you, the Republican party.
With your high tariff men in combination to
enrich the rings, you passed the legal-tender
act-an act as lawless as your military COM
missions, and senseless as your management
of the war. You defended it, and denounced
the UoId as disloyal for denouncing it, The
successive inflations which we have protested
against you have paltered over or openly ap-
proved Having absolute power, you created
this wretched currency and inflated it from
worse to worse, and are now confessedly re-
sponsible for all the ruin which it has contri-
buted to wreak upon our export trade with
China and the rest of the world.

OUR PROTECTION-RUINED CHINA

From the N. Y. World.

From the N. Y, World.
The organs of protection do not like the
IPOrLd'S exposure of the ruin they have
brought upon the manufacturing interests of
the country by shutting American goods out
of foreign markets and making exports un-
profitable and impossible. They chafe most
sorely under the exposure of the poverty of
our fabric export trade with China, which we
deuge with our gold and silver to pay for the
teas and silks we consume, instead of paying.
as we might but for the tariff, with the handi-
work of American men and women.
We used to send cotton fabrics to China in
our tea Ships why none now? The IWJUae
essays to answer by the statement that ''our
large export to China of drillings and other
substantial cotton fabrics grew up and flour
ished under the stringent protection afforded
to our cotton manufactures by the tariffs of
1916, 1924, 1928, and 1S42-* under
duties more protective, all things considered,
than those now in operation
Mr. Greeley, like most protectionists, is as
precisely wrong in his facts as in his reason
ing. Duties are higher now than then, and
his argument, if it could prove anything
should prove that our export trade to China
ought to be immensely increased by the pre-
sent tariff instead of ruined as it is.
The tariff of 1916 averaged 27 per cent.
The tariff of 1924 averaged 81 per cent.
The tariff of 1923 averaged Al per cent.
The tariff of 1912 averaged 80 per cent.
But the average tariff for five years past has

for uniform charge of twenty-five cents, or
even less.
Cheap telegraphs, like cheap letters do not
involve permanent loss to the Government.
The penny postage system in England is a
source of profit. And in Belgium and Swift
zelland, with low and uniform rates. the re-
ceipts of the telegraph have already more
than covered the cost of construction and
management There seems no reason TO
doubt the realization of similar result in
England, or in this country, when public
opinion shall have ripened for the change.

and Clarendon against American republican
ISM whether the scene of it be laid in the
United States, in Peru, in Cuba or in
MeXico-all these personages, taken to-
gether, now present somewhat grotesque
spectacle.
Considering the demoralized condition of
Serranos Government. and the waning pres
tige of Napoleons empire, the desperate at
tempts of these rulers to WELD or retain
power on the American continent which is
slipping from their fingers in the Old World
should produce in this country nothing but a
feeling of contempt and derision. if it were
not for the fact that the welfare of our sister
republics is put i'll danger by these intriguers
of La Gran ia and the Iuileries.
owhat extent the agents of BOnaparte and
Clarendon will be permitted to poke their
noses into matters in which they are not au-
thOriZed to intermeddle, remains to be seen.
One thing, however, is certain: no European
Government would for one moment tolerate
the impertinent interference which the Anne
rican Government countenances 50 fOoGshly
on the part of representatives Of Old World
| powers in the United States.
1t must also be borne in mind that the
| Secretary of State has not far to 90 to find
| lawyers who, although they are not officially
| connected with the administration, are but
too happy to give a lift to that Old World des-
potism which they would fain see established
in this part of the globe. These lawyers,
under the plausible cover of a distinguished
professional reputation, impose upon the
| good nature and ductile spirit of Mr.. Fish,
and thus exert a kind Of magnetic influence
over his decisions, the painful effect of which
has been apparent more than once.
Mr. Roberts, too, is unsparing in his
efforts to bring professional influence to bear
upon the American government; while the
| Bonapartst agents are only continuing the
kind of work which Louis Napoleon initiated
at the time of his invasion of the Mexican
republic. BY playing into the hands of Spain
in regard to Peru and Cuba, Louis Napoleon
is we'll aware that he strengthens the chains
of slavery and checks the progress of repub-
lcan principles. With SO high an occasion
for the exercise of his zeal, who can wonder
at the activity of his agents, or at their sinis-
ter coalition with the emissaries of Serrano?

THE MEN OF THE SECOND EMPIRE
PASSING AWAY.
From the n. Y. Herald.

From the N. Y. Herald.
All men are mortal, and the men of the
empire proclaimed in France on the I'd dav of
December. 1852, cannot escape the universal
law. One after another of the leading con-
federates of Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte
in establishing that empire on the ruins of
the republic of 1913 have been successively
passing away, until the Emperor, who is him
self reported as sick by the cable telegram of
Thursday, is left almost alone. Marshal de
St. Arnaud, Marshal Pelissier Duke de
Malakoff), the Duke de Morny, the
Comte de Walewsli, Minister Fould,
Secretary Mocquard, and dozen other con-
spicuous imperialists have had to leave all
their fresh-blown dignities and die. Marshal
Mel, who has been as blind deyotee to Ma
poleonic ideas as any of his contemporaries,
and whose superior military talents have shed
more lustre on the reign Of Napoleon III
than it has derived from any other source
died on Saturday. 1t remains to be
seen whether the successors of the orr
ginal military and civil advisers and aids of
the Emperor will cooperate with him in
Strengthening his dynasty by gradually full
filling his promise and the desire of the
French people and browning the editice with
liberty The peace of Europe as well as the
prosperity Of France largely depend not only
ON the will of Napoleon, but on the character
of the men whom he shall select to replace
his conhdants of 1852.

them to sell cheaper than those
who sell On q credit.
Q.-These are good reasons fol
selling cheap, but have you nc

The Henderson Land Sale

To any one who will take the
trouble to think on the subject a
little, the value and desirableness
of the prizes offered will become
perfectly apparent. The city and
county of Henderson is perhaps
the most wealthy and aristocratic
portion Of Kentucky. It's almost
impossible to buy any land there,
the parties owning it holding it at
such figures as to preclude sales.
Any part of the land offered in

toned in another column of this
paper, would readily command a
cash value Of $500 per acre and
upwards, in gold. Besides this in
tI3nsic Ualu8, there goes to the
winner of the capital prize, $4,000
in cash, rent money for the year,
which is n small fortune in itself.
We are told that the tickets are 60
ing rapidly, and can be obtained of
club agents or the regular author,
