ONE of the plainest aud most practical
and incoutrevertabls calculations of the
workings of high protective tariff, has
recently been made by distinguished rsdi-
cal in public speech which We fine pub
lished il the Chicago Tribune. Judge
Wilson, the radical candidate fo- congress
in the fourth congressional district OF
Indiana. has taken bold ground, as bold as
that of the mos. ultra free-trader In the
country, against this whole system OF high
tariff taxation, and in a recent speech he
developed the subject in the following
nimitabe and mastery style. Judge Wilson
said:
qua. at this point want to say word
on the tariff question. We all agree that
it is necessary and proper that duties shat
De imposed for purposes OF revenue. But
for one insist that government has no rlehl
to levy q tax IL any form upon one citizen
TO enable another TO carry on his business
and this ia the whole theory of q protective
tariff, theory which Insist Is IN sntagon
ism TO the who genius and spirit OF oul
government. 1t involves the idea necessari
iy of taking money out OF the poke
OF one man and giving it to another II

1t involves taxing a whole consuming
people to foster the interests of q few. Tha

far only been submitted to the people upon
the plausible pretext of necessity. II is the
purpose of the republican party to remove
pre.ext, and so ad ius, the tariff that it shall
produce the necessary revenue without be
ing d burden to the people l know that
there is great diversity of views in regard
TO this matter among republicans, and also
among democrats. We are apt, no matter
what party we belong to, to argue according
to our individual interests. No man ought
10 look a. this question in this narrow and
selfish light He should consider what is
for the best interests of the American PEG
pie That which may have been deemed
proper once is not necessary now. We have
grown 10 be a great nation. We have great
national and individual wealth and resources
and my doctrine is, let erery man take car

business of the government to furnish profit
to one by taxing the others
This is sound doctrine, even if it Is sal
by republican, and if the farmers, mechar
les and laboring men of the northwest d
not wish to be eaten up by taxation, the
should look well to their interests and vot

Z Letter from the Secretary Of the Treasury
The Question of Fees for Claims.
The following letter will De OF interest to
bosh pensioners and pension agents
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, WASHING
TON, u. c., Aug. 10. 1870 Sir: l have
received your report of the 18th inst, III
closing a letter from in relation to the
fee OF $50. which ne claims ID by contract
due him for services in prosecuting the pen
sion claim of Jacob Rhine, the guardian
of the minor heirs of Jacob MINI, No. 49,
9S2. 1t does not appear that any decision
has been expressly given by your office IN
this particular case; but Mr.-Is OF the
opinion that, by your circular scaling the
fees of agents, you have, in affect, decided
that you would NOS respect the contract, but
would limit his fee to $40. As the subject
is presented for ny consideration, | think
proper to express nv views on the construc-
ton Of the act of July s, 1870, so far as
relates TO your authority for his servses In
any claim for pension or bounty land. Mr.
insists that the section requiring HIM
to file for rour approval duplicates of his
agreement with the claimant, authorizes
you 20 see that the agreements genuine and
IN proper form, but not to reduce HIS cnar-
ges, should you deem them exorbltant, l
am not able TO concur IN this view. The
amount due TO the agent or at torney for
prosecuting g pension claim is deducted
from the pension when allowed, and paid
directly to hun. If duplicate articles of
agreement are not filed with and approved
By you, the prescribed fee is so. 1t cannot
in any event, even if they are filed, exceed
S25, and when more than $40 is claimed
under articles. they must receive your ap
proval before their validity can be recogniz-
ed BY the agent for paying pensions. The
stipulstions binding The pension claimant
to pay specific amount, are substantial
parts of the agreement, and the whole instru.
ment is subject to our approval. Conhning
your action to matters of form, or to the
ascertainment of the genuineness OF the
agreement, narrows to much OF the effect OF
the statute and defeats one OF Its leading
purposes. Instances have occurred In which
sums Tar In excess of the services rendered
IN prosecuting pension claims have been
e2acted from the widow and orphans of
Soiaiers. Congress, no doubt, attempted to
suppress hagrant abuse by the provision

fher section, while at the same time tbev
