The Capitol.

The Capitol.
We clip from the Burlington Iowa)
Gazette, the following. At some other
time we may attempt to describe the pon-
sense of moving the National Capitol.
Below is letter from Gen. Sherman:
The General likes to carry water on
both shoulders. He had occasion to make
a speech in Washington not long since.
lie undertook to please that people and
not offend those who want the capitol in
the valley of the Mississippi. But the
people Of the capitol misrepresented him,
perhaps; or the people of St. Louis made
it so warm that he had to put in an expla.
nation. Here it Isl:

would be removed in our day, and that
the public buildings here, could not be

As to ST. Louis, / remember well to have

full of life, commerce and manufactures,
instead of mere place of Office routine.
OF course, my opinion on this agitated
question Of removal is better than yours,
or any other private individual; but if you
want to know what think Of it am will
ling to say that, in my judgment, the
capitol of the United States, if removed
to the valley Of the Mississippi within the
next twenty years, will not go'to st. Louis,
Cincinnati or Chicago, because neither OF
these cities would or should surrender the
exclusive jurisdiction necessary for the
national capitol. To day. neither you no,
any other citizen of St. Louis would con.

sent to give up st. Louis county to the alb

Free Trade Meeting in Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 4

MILWAUKEE. Nov. 4.
The Milwaukee Free Trade league had
a meeting here tonight. The audience
was good, considering the weather. lion.
E. j. Ilolton, presided, and read long
list Of vice president and secretaries,
composed of the principal citizens Of the
place.
Mahlon Sands, secretary of the New
York Free Trade league, first spoke, ret
| viewing, briefly, the objects and methods
of the society he represents.
Gen. BrinkerhoH, of Ohio. was then
introduced, and for an hour deeply inter-
este the audience in an exposition Of the
practical workings of the tariff, taking as
an axiom that the duty upon an imported
| article increases the price Of the home
products. lie demonstrated that for every
dollar received by the government from
the tariff the people paid $50 to monopo'
lists. Estimating the home product of
lumber Mt $50, 100000 per annum, the
duty of 20 per cent. taxed the people
$50, 100000; and yet the government re-
ceived less than 100000. Estimating the
product of pig iron at | 800, 900 tons, the
duty of SO taxed the people nearly $780,
900 900, and gave the government only
81 100000. The duty on bar iron taxed
the people S2O,O0O,O0O, and gave to the
government Sl,O00,00O. The duty on
railroad iron taxed the people Sl4 OOO, 700,
and gave the government 81, 100000. On
these three articles of iron alone. the peo-
pie pay annually about $40, 100000 flax,
Of which the government gets S5,OOO,OOO.
and the iron masters $40, 100000. "Thus,'
said the eloquent speaker, sin thousand
ways the toiling millions are plundered to
build up few grasping monopolists."
Prof. Perry was the next speaker. He
was listened to with marked attention,
and frequently applauded. Tie Prof.
has also. within few days, addressed the
students of Beloit College, and has
visited the state university ut Madison.
He reports that free trade textbook are
used in those colleges, and that nearly all
the professors are free traders. General

The Nashua Posi- says that Grant
did just right in appointing Gen. Bel

most numerically for month or so for
his foolish appointments, as he called
them. Presently the Post editor secur-
ed the post Office, and he has been a
great friend Of the president ever since.
We take notice that those who are the
loudest in praise of Grants appoint
ment of secretary of war are those who
hold appointments themselves. The rank

say, except grunt now and then, at his
