TIE TARIFF DEBATE.

Public interest in the Tariff issue is by no
means so general and pervading as in the days
when Clay, Calhoun, Webster John Randolph,
McDufie Hayne, Mallary, Baldwin, and For
ward, were the leading debaters; and the
prevalent opinion that little or nothing will be
effected at this session doubtless dulls the
edge of curiosity and mOdifies the solicitude
which would otherwise be felt. However mis-
takenly, most people regard the present dis
cussiOn as akin to a review rather than
battle-rather as maneuvering for the weather
gage than as graphing for close action. 1t
is generally felt that whatever is done at this
session will but fairly open the Tariff con-
troversy rather than close it.
Yet many of the speeches have been good;
none has been great. Those of members of the
Committee of Ways and Means have been the
most valuable, because grounded in the knowl-
edge gathered during that Committees travels
and investigations last Summer. These bristle
with facts and statistics of which the speakers
do not always apprehend the force; but this by
no means proves them without value. A mas
ter of Political EcOnomy-a great genius
might educe therefrOm differences of signal
value.
Mr.. James Brooks (fcr nstahce) sneers at
the suggestion that Protection tends to reduce
Prices, just as though he had sat at the feet
of Calhoun and John Randolph rather than of
Clay and George Evans. And yet, this same
Brooks exults over the fact that the enhance
mcnt last year of the duties on Copper had
been followed by a marked decline in the
price of that metal just as though it did not
prove the very proposition which he deems SO
prepOsterOus. No man ever before confuted
his own fundamental assumption with such
profound Inconsistencies.
"But what good is Protection if it does not
"Increase prices 2" ask Mr. Brookss present
allies. Mr. b. himself knows better than to
press that question. He makes newspapers for
a living, and knows well that any arrangement
that would widen and quicken his market, so
as to enable him daily to sell ten times so
many copies of his sheet as he now does, would
make him richer, though he should be put
under stringent bonds to print hencefOrth a
better paper and never increase Its price.
Thousands know enough of business to COM
prehend this truth-know that they are getting
rich by making better article than they once
did and selling it cheaper than when they were
Door, simply because their sales have increased
a hundred fold, and are now reader and
steadier than they were thirty years ago.
We will not pursue the theme. The time is
at hand when the Tariff question is to be dis
cussed by the American People in their town
halls and district schOol-heuses-in neighbor-
hood gatherings ana by rural firesides. That
time cannot arrive too soon. How and on what
points such discussion may commence, we do
not forecast; but we are confident that its
issue can be none other than ausplcious and

CONNECTICUT.

Connecticut has repeatedly proved that she
is Republican when her full vote is polled out;
when it is not the accident of more absentees
on this side or on that is decisive. A heavy
illegal vote has been rolled up against us IN
New Haven, in Greenwich. and some other
Democratic strOngholds, while more than
thousand Republicans are this year shut out by
the hardness of Congress in perfecting 'he
ratification of the XVIII Amendment. Ihere
being no Senator or Representatives IN Con-
gress now at stake, there is great danger that
the legal vote may not be fully poed; and at
least wo-thrds of the abscntees are usually
Republicans. Connecticut has usually from
Two TO Five Thousand of her most intelligent,
capable citizens prosecuting business enter

There are hundreds of these in our City ana
its vicinity who have not yet decided to go
home for the Election on Monday, because they
suppose it needless to do so. To these we say
most earnestly "You are wrong! The State is

The answer made by the Finance Committee
of the Excise Board to the charge that extra
compensation had been improperly paid to Mr..
Manierre as the Treasurer of the Board seems
full and satisfactory. 1t shows that the addi-
tional compensation was not ordered to be paid
until it was declared by the Counsel Of the
Board to be fully warranted by the law, nor
without a conviction in the mind of every
Commissioner that Mr.. Manerre had earned the
stipulated sum. The report of the Finance
Committee justfes the action of the Board in
making the allowance, and Mr.. Manierre has de-
cared his readiness to refund the amount if
there is any doubt of the legality, or even pro-
priety, of the payment. 1t appears that within
the three and a half years the Board Of Excise
has been in existence S4,s51, s97 IS have been
collected and disbursed, at an expense of about
100000, inclusive of the heavy law costs incident
to the contest caused by the resistance of the
rumselers to the enforcement of the law.

The President was reported a week or two
ago as disposed, on the PRONUNCIATION of the
proclamation of the XVIII Amendment, to ask
Congress in a special message to declare Cen
eral Amnesty also. On the publication of the
PRONUNCIATION, the Democratic journals rejOiced
in the story that there was no such intention
on the Presidents part Now we have the
rumOr that he submitted the promised message
to his Cabinet at the meeting yesterday. How
much of truth there may be in the statements
we have no means of telling; but we have
little doubt that the President shares with the
people the feeling and belief that in declara-
ton of General Amnesty the conflict began
ten years ago ought forthwith to find its APP
propriate end.

ton. 1t is openly, heartily, uniformly, in favor
of all needed Protection to American Industry
and every branch of it. 1t upholds Protection
to American Leather, and rejoces that such
Protection is now accorded and enjoyed. 1t
considers the duty of ten per cent. on Hides
one imposed mainly for revenue, and would be
willing to see it removed if it believed such
removal essential to the prosperity of Amer-
can Tanning. But such removal is as clearly,
markedly, a measure of Protection to Leather
making as an additional impost On Leather
would be: and, if the Leather men say that
they need no Protection and desire none, VT
feel bound to believe them.

The reasons which have impelled the Com
mittee of Ways and Means to revise the Tariff
and propose a reduction Of many of its impOsts,
are forcibly set forth in that portion of the
late Speech of the Hon. WILLIAM ID. KELLEY
of Pennsylvania which we herewith publish
During the War, many duties were hastily in
creased, for the single but urgent reason that
the Government must have money. Now that
the necessity is less urgent and there is
leisure for careful scrutiny, the Committee pro-
pose that these duties shall be modified or
wholly removed. Nter, Pepper, Cloves, Spices
of all kinds, Quinine, Opium, Chalk. are among
the articles thus dealt with, while the Com
mittee would considerably reduce the imposts
on Tea Coffee, Chocolate. Raisns, &c, &c.
We call attention to Mr.. Kelley's lucid state
ment, in order that the true character of the
bill now before the House may be clearly un-
deTstOOd

ment of the army in this way for the same
reasons that we oppose the use of State OF
Territorial troops composed of settlers for the
same purpose. Unfortunately, the soldiers bear
the same feelings toward the Indians that the
settlers do and, as the Piegan and other mas
sacres show are as difficult to restrain. The
late incidents, illustrating army management
of Indian affairs, Gov Harvey must admit are
not unequiyocally encouraging.

nowhere that it is surer OF receiving lair

is a mistake for the workingmen OF Cal
ifornia to suppose that they can now
command from three to six dollars day.
The facilities of passage between here and
there have made the workingman OF the AT
lantic coast the competitor of the worklngman
on the Pacific coast; and the cheapening OF
the carriage of food across the Continent has
considerably reduced the expenses of life in
California The price of labor there must
consequently regulate itself according to the
changed circumstances of the times. We heard
recently of a person in California town offer
ing men two dollars and half a day to work
for him; but, though there were scores OF IDLE
and nearly destitute men in the place, they all
refused his terms. The consequence was that
the town lost the advantage of his capital
and enterprise. We suspect that the ipresent
condition of things in San Francisco is owing
partly to causes of this kind.

A letter from Washington tells the condi-
ton of railway legislation in Congress, and
presents the case of the new road to FL Paso,
which the Kansas-Pacific people propose to
build. Such road seems to be the next step
in the way of national development. While
we build roads through the virgin forests of
Minnesota and Montana, and open territory
which has never felt the touch of civilization,
We should not fail to unite by stronger ties a
country as vast and rich as New-Mexico, with
a civilization older than that of our oldest
States. The Kansas people have shown energy
and enterprise in building the extension to
Denver. The Government has reason to be
pleased with their energy, and the scrupulous
good faith with which they observed their
agreements. They may be trusted with this
enterprise to Ell PasO, and if they can estab-
lish good credit upon liberal land grant, 1t
will be we'll to give them the opportunity.
Every acre we give only adds to the value of
the acres that remain.

The Free-Traders have been fatty snubbed
in Congress. Mr.. Garfield, yesterday, in his
speech on the Tariff bill. offered a most favor
able opportunity-in fact extended an invita-
tion-to the seventy Democratic members
who talk Free-Trade for general effect, and
vote for Protection to special interests near
home, to declare the faith that is popularity
supposed to be in them. Only two sprang to
their feet and unreservedly announced them
selves to be in favor of policy of Free Trade.
1t will be little consolation to the few une-
Guivoca Free Traders in the country to know
that these two champions were Messrs. Cox of
New-York and Mungen of Ohio
