We warned the prohibitionists
that their course with reference to
the tariff endangered the whole policy
of protection. We believe the great
majority Of the American people favor
an honest system Of protection, but
the frauds that are perpetrated under
this head are driving thousands of
citizens to the opposite extreme. On
Monday last an Illinois member of
Congress introduced series Of free
trade resolutions, which were laid on
the table by vote of " to 80. This
is a significant result. If the prohi-
bitionists shall succeed in loading the
Republican party with such tariff as
the Ways and Means Committee favor,
the next election will add very largely
to the free trade vote. while judi
cious modification of the tariff by the
present Congress, in the iaterests Of
the whole people, would give Repub-
licans the advantage in the approach

Tootles, into a saloon to take drink
with him, and then and there said to
Mr.. t.: Il have heretofore been op.

they will have a vote at the next cleo

events had, greatly to the regret of the
party, placed the Democracy in oppo-
sition to the negro. But that is all
over now, and we are now at liberty
to act according to our feelings, and [

take another glass, Mr.. Tootles." Mr..
