PROTECTION a REPUBLICAN IDEA

The Philadelphia North ADlericaa re
marks: Protection is the only next step
10 American progress that we recognize, and
that we shall not assent to It's being set aside
for any other agitation got up by toe free
traders By way Of a diversion, The Republi-
can National Convention Of 1860 presented
a platform that distinctly announced the
protection Of American industry to be one
Of the fundamental tenets of the party. On
that basis the party has stood ever since,
and on that II passed successive amendatory
tariffs, all raising the duties, and all inten-
led avowedly to build up American indus
Try On that basis VIC raised cur productive
capacity TO such point as 10 carry the Re
public successful lly through the greatest war
Of modern times, and to sustain the burden
of tremendous debt. Il was, indeed, the
long continued devotion to manufacturing
Industry that endowed the north with
strength sufficient to cope with the slave
holders insurrection, backed as it was by
England Aud now this system that has
done so much for Us, and that is recognized
all over Earope as the secret Of cur vast
progress, is attacked In its stronghold, and
We are coolly asked to pay attention to half
dozen wayside agitations, chiefly gotten up
to divert the attention Of the people from
protection.
The Republican party IS composed ofmas
ses too intelligent TO be deceived in this way
IF advocates Of womens rights and teetota-
lism and soial equsIty Of races, and all the
other issues Of q fast age. have managed to
creep into prominen positions in the party,
their views must not be taken as represcn
ting those Of the masses; and if they are not
satisfied to follow the party under the ban
ncr Of protection, let them hold separate
convention, as in 1864, or try their luck with
the Democrats, as in 1868 The Repubii-
can party cannot be both for protection and
free trade. II must be one or the other.
for the two systems are dlametrically oppo
sed to each other. With those who are on
the fence and take a little one way and 4
little the other; who. 10 fact seem TO have
no principles Of their own, we have no quar-
rel They viii find out where they stand
when they know which side is the strongest
All We have to say is, that if the Republi-
can party is not for protection, we must
have a party that is. We are not content
10 follow free trade leaders, nor to fight un-
der a free-trade banner. But we know that
we speak for an immense majority Of the
Republican party everywhere when W. say
that it is emphatieally for protection, and
that it regards with suspicion all free trade
journals aud politicians.

STRANGE PaENoMENoN.
PHYSICAL Changes in the Great Desert.


The Inland Ea,pire has the following re-
markable statement concerning the process
Of change going Oh all over the great inland
desert between California aud Missouri. It
says:
For some time past there has been a ques-
tion before the people Of this basin and Of
the plains east of the Rocky Mountains,
that has as yet failed to be satisfactorily an.
swered. Ii is. Why are the streams car
rying more water than in former years?
The great plains are fast losing their arid
nature, and through them are running
streams in places where twenty years ago
there was not drop Of water, and where
at that time there we're small streams, they
are now very much enlarged. In many
cases this change has been Of much value as
il has given to the traveller supply Of
water that had previously been denied
When the frst emigrants crossed the
plains to California the great objection urged
10 the trip was the scarcity Of water on the
greet part of the route Within few years
this has been all changed, and in the beds
of old streams that were dry when. first
found there is now water for all the purpo
ses required.
The Laramie plains are not nog destitute
Of water, whereas some years ago there wai
none, snd the traveller had 10 carry watel
on passing over them. There can be NJ
doubt tha; for the last ten years there ha
been a continued increase Of water through
cut the whole desert country between thf
