THE Chicago Tribune Is heartily dis.
gusted with Congress, and winds M a
late editorial on the subject In the follow
ing words;
Almost everybody who IS not prosper.
Gus in business rushes to Congress for
relief, or writes TO his representative that
something ought TO be done to help him.
It Is expected that the government shall
build steamboats, and railways, and hire
people to operate them construct bridges,
dig out harbors, rivers and canals, regu-
late the hours Of labor, provide compul-
sorry educ Ltion, teach men mechanic arts,
give bOunties TO particular industries, and
levy taxes upon other industries pro-.

command is the power to tax. If rail,
roads, steamboats,, canals, rivers, harbors,
universities, manufactures, mines, naviga-

tered by the government, IL can only be
done by the proceeds Of taxes, for the

It's corruption, misgovefnment and disre

than the legitimate outcropping of the
ideas which came into power with Mr.
Lincoln, and have controlled the country
ever since. Previous to that time It wa'
held that the States were vested with {
certain share of sovereignty, and that al
authority not specially granted to Con
gress and the Executive by the ConsIitu

be taken from them. Radical statesmen
said a" treason " in this, and swept State
sovereignty and all its belongings out OIL

How Protection Plumbers the Far
nlef.

A protective tariff does not discrimi
nate against foreign producers and in
favor Of domestic producers, it simply
discriminatcs in favor of one class of
domestic producers, and against another
class Of domestic producers And under
the present tariff the class Disseminated
against is the farmers.
Let us take an example furnished to
our hand: =.
The domestic manufacturer offers us
ia blankets at SO Is per palr.
But the domestic wheat grower says,
"Don't buy them-patronize me,to your
own profit and mine. Invest Sc % in

eigner for blankets, and you will find
that he viii give you three pair of blan.
kets for that amount of wheat,
But here the tariff steps in and lays an
embargo on the exchange, BY forcing
syou to pay over one hundred per cent.
tax on the foreign blankets.
New wheat growing is just as much
American industry as blanket manufac-
turing and all the Discrimination here is,

President Gransas Lobbyist.

The fact, sent throughout the country,
that on Thursday, the lTth inst !, Presi-
dent Grant went to the Senate, and sent
for nearly all the Radical members, to
meet him, one by on, in a private room,
and there urged them to vote for the
ratification Of the San Domingo treaty,
has excited great feeling thronghoutthe
country. The New York Sun, former
warm supporter Of Gen. Grant, as can
didate for President, has this notice of
the affair:
This is the first time in the history of
this country that the President has gone
to the capitol to employ personal solici-
tation as means of obtaining the votes
of members of either House for a meas
ure IN which he lnIght happen to be in
| terested :. 1t is certainly not dignified
proceeding; hut as it is not forbidden
by the constitution, 1t IS not necessary
to Sheet to it. But it is to be desiree
thatgthe President should resort to this
kind of influence only in meritorious ca
sess Such this Dominican treaty isnot.
Itis1a job, and is full of iniquity. Fraud
| is stamped upon all ,its features 1t is
designed to cheat the people Of the Uni
ted States outof both honor and money ;
and its pecuniary dishonesty is some
thing enormous. The nature of the
swindle has been SO well and so widely
exposed, that it is hard to understand
how Gen. Grant should now identify
himself with such a transaction
If there was nothing in this scheme
of annexation that was intended to de-
fraud the United States, the treaty ought
still to oe rejected. THERE'S civil war
in ST Domingo. To annex that repub-
ic at presentis to take this civil war up
on ourselves. Spain--a much greater
power than the United States in the esti-
nation of Gen. Grant-tried it, and had
bp give up the undertaking. What su.
