HORACE GREELEY ON HAMILTON

HORACE GREELEY ON HAMILTON.
From the NJ y. World.
1t may seem to be incredible. but it is
nevertheless strictly true, that Mr.. Horace
Greeley deliberately cites the following quo
tation from a report presented by Alexander
Hamilton to Congress on the best means of
promoting American manufactures as a suf-
tcient indication Of the enduring wisdom of
protection
"The embarrassments which have obstructed the
progress OF our external trade have led to serious
reflections on the necessity of enlarging the sphere
of our domestic commerce. The restrictive regula-
tiOns which, in foreign markets, abridge the vent for
the Increasing surplus Of our agricultural produce
serve TO beget an earnest desire that more extern
sive demand for that surplus may be created at
home; and the complete success which has rewarded
manufacturing enterprise in some valuable branches
cunSprlng WIN the promising symptoms which at
ttnd some less mature ESSAYS in others, Justify n
hope that the obstacles to the growth Of this species
ol Industry are less formidable tlan they ap-
pretended TO be, and that it is not dinlcult to find
IN It's further extension full indemnidcaton for
any external disadvantages which are or NAV be
experienced, as well an accession of resources
| favorable to national independence and safety"
What is the use of arguing with writer
who, after reading the words which we have
italicized in this extract, could calmly 90 on
to use the passage in which they occur as
plea for protection? The restrictive regu-
, latlons of which Hamilton, in 1890, deplored
the existence and the effect in ''foreign
markets, now in 1869 hamper and torment
ourselves alone. Enlightened views of public
economy have liberated the most important
nations of Europe from the "embarrass-
ments' which then Constructed the progress, -
not of our own trade alone, but of the trade
of all the world. And what Alexander Hamil-
ton Ohough of course, unfamiliar with the
great truths of political economy developed
and established since his time) had the insight
and the intelligence to recognize as calamity

BASE BALL-A match game of Base
Ball was played yesterday afternoon,
on the Resolute Grounds between the
Resolutes of this city, and the Unions
of Hudson city, which resulted in a
victory for the Resolutes. During the
first three innings Mr.. Ritter was not
in his position, and the Unions sue
ceeded in scoring % runs. On the 4th
inning, however, he took his place be-
bind the bat, and the result was that,
in the remaining six innings, the Hud-
son City club added but runs to their
score, the Resolutes whitewashing l"
them four times. The batting of the
Resolutes was the heaviest they have
done this season, making eight home
runs. The base play and fielding was
upon the whole, very good, each. man
filling his position with credit. The
following is the score:

RB~ A few evenings since, q Ger
man, employed on the farm of Messrs.
Ernest L. and George F. Meyer, while
returning home through Stiles street,
was stopped by a couple of tramping
vagabonds, who demanded the sum of
one dollar, as sort of toll The Ger
man, (who blythe way, is a most pow
erful athlete,) not relishing this mode
of salutation on the public highway.
measured the fellows with his little
black eyes, and then in q twinklings
by we'll directed blow, leveled between
the optics of the larger of the highway
men, dropped him at full length on the
green sward-then quickly Selling the
remaining fellow, who had hardly com
pretended the sudden change of affairs
by the nape of the neck and the rear
part of his unmentonables, he raised
him as easily as an infant, and hurl ed
him about ten or twenty yards over a
fence in a field beyond. The fellow
who had first been knocked down,
showing signs of returning conscious
ness, was again attacked, and most I'M
mercifully beaten-the Infatuated Ger
man not deigning to show any mercy
whatever until piteously begged for by
the wandering Arabs, who had by this
time arrived at the conclusion that the
fellow whom they had regarded as a
"soft thing" was Tartar. The poor
vagabonds, covered with blood, could
hardly stand by the time our Teutonic
friend got through with them, and sat
isfied that they would not in the future
disregard the privileges of pedestrians,
he left in order to allow them time to
mediate upon the mutability of human
life.

bI~ A most select audience greeted
Neil Bryant and his twenty three un-
sivalled performers at Library Hall
last evening The hall was comfortably
filled, and the best evenings entertain
ment ever afforded our people was full
ly appreciated. 1t is some time since
minstrelsy attracted such an audience,
and were all the troupes as heightened
as Neil Bryant's, there would be little
to complain of. All were more than
delighted, and our only wish is that
Bryant may find it convenient to call
again. His performances are of a high
order and entirely free from pot-house
illusions.

British Frauds.

The Commissioners of Inland II R,venue in
Great Britain have be en- making careful inve--
legations into the extent TO which the returns
of income made to them by tax payers are too
low. They have concluded that 40 per cent of
the people who make returns give Ia too low q
sum; and that these on the average return only
AZ per cent. OF their real profits. Iu other words,
taking the returns of 1861 65 as the most conve-
nient for the purpose, they md that lao 900 out
of $50 600 people assessed for income make iu'
sufficient returns, their share of the income
charged being G44,0I20 900; and that the amount
not returned. which ought 10 have bsen re-
turntd. is f57,254 600. AT the present rate OF Ga
in the pound, or 214 per cent, this would add TO
the revenue FL ,43l, coo. equivalent 10 another
penny on the income tax.
The materials have not been gathered for
comparing these startling results with the re
turns Of American tax payers; but there Is cer-
tainly reason to fear mat there are deficiencies
among them which greater publicity would do
more 10 remedy than all the Oaths, detective
agencies, and other devices which have yet
been employed. 1t is curious that In England
the most efficient exposures of detective re-
turns have been made by the mistaken tax
payers themselves. In claims for com pensRtion

"A Newport Heroine.

miss Ida Lewis has again distinguished her.

number is not less than q dozen. Her father Is
keeper of the Lime Rock Lighthouse. located
near Fort Adams. Having been almost help
less invalid for number OF years past, the
labor indispensable TO keeping the light In

has found an able assistant In her daughter
Ida. The latter jumps into her boat almost
daily, regardless of what the weather may be,
and, with q pair Of oars, propels 1T TO Newport,
distance one and half miles, in an incredibly
short space OF time. She has been brought up
on the water as 1t were, and can manage a
boat better than nine out of every ten OF the
male sex. In fact, she claims that she can row
q boat faster than any man in Newport,
and we are inclined TO believe her, having
Witnessed her management OF one on several
occasions. Ida is about twenty. three years OF
age. tall and slender, but possessed of unusual
courage and endurance. She never hears the
voice of distress, night or day, without jumping
into her little croft and proceeding To the scene
