Death of MIR. j.. Wesley
Harper.

Mr. Joseph Wesley Harper died
this morning at half past eight
o'clock, at his house, No SO Clark
street, in Brooklyn.
Mr.. Harper was one Of the four
brothers who founded the famous
publishing House Of Harper 4 Broth
ers, He was the son of a farmer,
who lived in Ncwtown, on Long ls>
land, on place which is we believe
still owned by the family. The
father apprenticed his sons, of
which he had four, John, James,
Josph Wesley and Fletcher, to the
printing trade, and all of them serv-
ed their apprenticeship through, and
were, when of age, taken into the
firm founded by the elder brother.
They began business as printers
for publishers, but soon began to
publish on their, own account, and
made their earliest successes, not on
ly through being god workmen
themselves, but also by the excellent
and sound Judgment which they
showed in the selection of books for
publication. THE literary culture
and correct taste of Mr.. Wesley
Harper contributed every, ,largely.to
this result = Banner. 10Th inst.

He did What seemed for the best; but time
proved bim in error Had he only given the
free-traders rope, they would have soon run
it out and he, i-stead of Van Barren, would
have been chosen President in 1886, on the
square issue of restoring the policy of pro-
lection subverted in 1888 10y Jacksonian De-
mocracy, in obedience to the bullying of
Calhoun notification.
Mr.. Clay's position in 33 was that Of the
gallant leader of beaten, hopeless, demo-
rsbzed army, making the best terms for it
that he can secure. Snooks represents an
aggressive, triumphant host, who are able to
dictate terms. not seemingly constrained TO
accept such as the copqueror will concede.
The World invents an issue with as as to
the great revulsion of 1887. We have said
nothing of that. But we do say that it was
because of the Revenue Tariff, y then Just
getting into full effect, that the Federal
Treasury was empty, the Federal credit dis
honored, and the national industry paralyzed,
in 1S40-1-2, until the stress of our necessi-
ties compelled return to protection in 1872
Thenceforward, everything wore brighter
aspect, and we did not need to send agents
to Europe, in n time of profound peace, to
beg bankers to lend us money to carry on our
Government That is our position.

sNoOKs gs. CLAY.

From the ". Y. Tribune.
The World, habitually Just to the memory
of Henry Clay, is especially so in likening
his course in supporting the compromise
tariff of 1888 with that of the Hon. j..
Snooks, who-insisting that a duty on i'm
ported wares or metals makes our consumers
pay so much more, not only for the articles
thus taxed but for all domestic products
which are sold in competition herewith
does nevertheless support duty of So per
ton on pig iron, whereby 81, 800, 900 accord
ing to his assumptions, not ours) is taken
from our consumers in order to get S 800, 600
of it into the treasury-the other Sc, 900, 900
being legally coerced Che says) into the
pockets of 'greedy, grasping monopolists.
Mr.. Clay never SO stultited himself as to sup
port measure which he held to be of this
character-never-neye In his deliberate
judgment, the necessary effect of protective
duties was to cheaper the article on which
they were imposed, by substituting domestic
for foreign production, thus bringing the
producer nearer the consumer, and reducing
the cost of effeoting exchanges between them.
What Mr.. Clay mistakenly did was to sacri-
fee a future whereof he, for the moment,
seems to have despaired, to secure reprieve
from immediate cslanity-a mistake which,
we are confident, viii not be repeated by the
protectionists of to-day. Mr. Clay, seeing
that General Jackson had just been reelected
and invested with powers virtually dictato-
rial, and that the protective professions by
which he had won the powerful support of
PENNSYLVANIA and kindred interests were
about to be whistled down the wind, in obe-
dienee to the stronger will of the cotton
growing oligarchy, entered into capitua-
tion, whereby present crash was averted.

GUS and acceptable political policy is about to
be inaugurated by the President. IL he shall
carry it out in the manner he is nov aiming
TO do it, he will necessarily offend the petty
traders in politics, but the great leaders Of
the people, and the people themselves, will
rally to the support of the patriotic President
of their choice, and make his reelection in
1872 as decisive as was his triumph in 1868.

RIP VAN WINKLE IN THE CORTES,

The draft Of law has been read in the
Cor:es at Madrid for the gradual extinc-
ton of slavery in the colonies. This. as
far as Cuba is concerned, is carefully
shutting the door Of the stable after the
horse is gone, and is characteristic of
Spain. The proposed law is equitable
enough, and had it been enacted several
years ago, might possibly have prevented
the present revolution in Cuba. Action
no,o on this question touching that island,
which has already been decided by the
logic Of the sword, is entirely gratuitous.
The wisest course for the Cortes to pur-
sue would be to take the bull squarely by
the horns, by declaring entire and imme-
date abolition of slavery in all the de-
tendencies of Spain, and the eligibility of
all, without distinction of race or color,
to positions of honor and profit. The
immediate PRONUNCIATION of such a law
might still do them some good in Cuba,
and would probably kill the germ Of revo-
luton elsewhere.
But it is contrary to the spirit and ira
ditions of Spain to do the right thing at
the right time, and legislation on the
subject will only come when it is too late
1t is decreed that Cuba shall be free.

RAILROADS IN LOUISIANA.

The several railroad projects pending in
the United States Senate, now known
throughout railroad circles of the entire
country as the Kellogg bills, propose, viz.
the completion of the North Louisiana
road from Vicksburg to Shreveport, and
to connect at Marshall, Texas, with the
projected Southern Pacific; a branch of
the Baton Rouge, or backbone" road to
run through the rich and fertile Crosse
Tete region to the same point, and line
direct from Meridian. Mississippi, TO the
Rigolets, and via the Chattanooga road
plump into New Orleans" as leading
politician writing upon this subject ex
presses it.
Mr.. Kelloggs bills provide for a grant
of the public domain to aid in construct
ing these lines of nter-communication
We heartily indorse this policy, for with
out such material assistance we believe
these great enterprises can not for many
years be carried out. We hope therefore
to see cordial unity of action upon this
subject among the Representatives of Lou
isiana in Congress, and feel assured their
sagacity will provide, with the liberal
subsidies, safe guarantees for the speedy
completion of the work.
The benefits to accrue to our city and
state from these new roads is great
almost beyond estimate, exclusive of that
resulting from the development of the
vast tracts OF wild lands which will be
thrown into market and rendered available
to settlers-native and immigrant-at low
prices; and desirable because of certain
and rapid connection with this market.
The peace and good order of the State
will likewise be promoted by the construc-
ton of these avenues of travel. The
whistle of the locomotive will do more to
silence the midnight yell of the Ku-Klux
than ought else. Wariin, who last year
made the first railroad in Greece, writes
that ''the true cure for brigandage is
roads-that it was roads which put an
end to highway robbery in the Scotch
highlands, and even in the neighborhood
OF London, century ago." The same
principle will apply to Louisiana. With
plenty Of roads, our people will soon be-
come one Of the richest and happiest COM
munlties on the face of the globe. Ma.
lures contributions toward this end have
been wonderfully lavish. It rests with
our Senators and Representatives to Sc

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The Brokers' Board has succumbed.
The heat, or the subsistence of business,
or both combined, may be assigned as the
cause or causes of this elevation of the
sponge. Until The night Of September Is
this genial assembly will be non est; so
they voted last evening, after discussion
which proved their most animated bust
ness for very long time past. The meet
ing was private, but the presidents ham,
mer resounded through the quiet street at
short intervals, and the voting was so
decidedly viOa Uoce as to disturb the
echoes of the neigbborhood. A good deal
of dissatisfaction at the result was ex-
pressed by several, and that in a very
energetic manner. One individual re-
marked "New Orleans is q one-horse
place anyway, but you should not tell the
world that we can't do business here more
than eight months in the year," The ma
jority of the board, however, are in favor
of rest; and SO stupendous have been
their labors of late the prediction is per-
fectly natural. With the present condition
of fancy stocks-slaughteIho hanging
between heaven and earth, Or rather be-
tween the Supreme Courts of the State
and the United States; Ship Island Canal,
with stock and company and nothing else
apparent to the public; Levee Valley in
the limbo of disagreeable uncertainty,
while the Governor holds back his sigma
ture from the bill; Valley Navigation
without friends enough to decently per-
form its obsequies; Petroleum fighting for
bare existence with the Calcasieu Mining
Company, and with the odds against the
former in popular estimation, the brokers
have no particular reason for present en-
thusiasm in the purely speculative part of
their business. In gold and the more
solid securities the trade during the sum-

Cincinnatus abandoned power and honor
for the plough-handle.
Washington gave up the exercise of the
statesman's functions for the tranquil
pleasures Of farmers life.
John Morrissey follows their distin-
guished example in resigning his seat in
Congress-with this difference, however,
that instead OF seeking the plough-handle
or the farm, the whilom bruiser, rumor
says, incontinently goes into faro bank.
Thus, Mr.. Morrissey puts the faro bank
above Congress. We are persuaded that
his resignation is as satisfactory to the
representative body he leaves as it can be
to him.
"Mr. Speaker, Irise," or "Mr. Speaker, 1
second the notion" never seemed
natural in the mouth of the sporting men,
Der. He will now adopt a more familiar
vernacular, such as "now, gents, make
your BETS
MIR. Morrissey did not shine in the Iegis-
lative hall, for, although the place has
been enlivened with an occasional knock
down, there never has been regular set
to, such as he has been accustomed to,
and as for the continuous wagging Of
tongues going on there, he, as a man of
action, must have regarded that with con-
tempt.
He will assuredly come out much
stronger behind the faro bank.

DEATH OF J. W, ZACHARIE,

We deeply regret to announce that Mr..
James Waters Zacharie is 10 more. He
had been upwell for some weeks past, but
his friends had hoped that the bracing air
of Chatawa, whittier he had gone, would
enable him to rally, and that he would be
spared for several years yet But these
hopes were doomed to be disappointed,
and he expired yester day morning. His
body was brought to the city last night,
and he is to be buried at FIVE o'clock this
afternoon from his late residence, No. 100
Customhouse street, between Royal and
Bourbon.
Mr.. Zacharie was native of the city of
Baltimore, Maryland, and was in the sew
enty-fourth year of his age. He removed
to this city during his infancy, and from
his early manhood has been identified
with the commercial interest of New Or
leans as one of the leading spirits. A
man Of high order of intellect and cul-
tivated mind, he ever took deep interest
in everything calculated to develop the
commercial, manufacturing and agricul-
tural interests of the country; and such
was his high code of mercantile honor,
that during his long career as merchant
no paper with his name upon it ever went
to protest.
1t would be impossible for us in the
brief space allowed US this morning to do
justice to such character as that of the
deceased, but we feel that the State has
lost one Of her most distinguished citi-
zens, and the city merchant, the value of
whose example was inestimable. We
deeply sympathize with his afflicted
family.
