the just indignation of the people.
To which remarks Mr. Washburne made
no further reply.
How did Congress meet these abuses &?
| Were the naval officers charged with the
monday they had illegally received from
the Treasury IN excess of their paw? On
the contrary the salaries of the Admiral
and Vlce-Admiral were increased two
thousand, and of the rear-admirals and
commodores one thousand dollars each. 1t
is true that the Secretary of the Treasury
was prohibited from taking money from
the Treasury in violation of law, but the
three millions seven hundred thousand
ollarsSwrongfully taken were not paid
back.
HOW THE MoNoPoLISTS OF THE EAST GROW
RICH UPON THE INDUSTRY OF THE
WEST.
Some of the finest specimens of man
hood have ever met, whether estimated
by the standard of courage or intellect,
have been children of New England. But
the sterllity of their soil, and the severity
OF their climate have given granite hard
ness and sharpness to New England char
acter, but so have they developed sturdy
manhood which corresponds with the cold
grandeur of their mountains I battle
against New England monopolists because
by tact and trick they have become enor-
mousl ly rich at the cost of western and
Southern industry. assail them, because
for generations they have extorted tribute
money from the people of the other States.
attack and will continue to attack them,
because they are sapping the very life of
the industrial classes of the entire country
Of h
HOW IT is DONE.
New England is the great champion of
protectlon-which means to make the peo-
pie of the West pay one dollar and eighty
cents for every dollars worth of goods
they buy. The dollar includes the value
of the goods and fair profit, while the
eighty cents is the tribute paid by West
eTn industry to New England cunning
Protected on all she makes, New England
has tree-trade on all she uses in her man
ufactures, as dye stuffs and salt.
In his report, Commissioner Wells states
''the amount of salt drawn from bond for
the fisheries in the district of Gloucester,
Massachusetts, for the third quarter of
the calendar year 1862" was eight mill
ION, thirty two thousand, seven hundred
and seventy pounds, which cost nine

free of duty-as salt used in fish packing
is not taxed. But had a Western pork
beef or butter packer purchased that same
salt at that same place it would have cost
him S23, TAT, because he would have been
required to pay tariff tax amounting to
Sl4, ,440, or $1.55 on every 81 900 worth of
salt. Nor is this all, We are taxed to pay
bounty of several dollars ton on every
vessel fitted out in the Eastern States for
cod fisheries, and from an official state
ment furnished by the Secretary of the
Treasury, it appears that the amount of
bounty or tribute thus paid to one small
New England interest, from 1856 to 1865.

WHAT MASSACHUSETTS CHARGED FOR THE
SERVICES OF sEvENTY-EIGHT REGI-
MENTs DURING THE WAR AGAINST THE
REBELLION.
Next I call your attention to the official
statement of Assistant Adjutant General
Breck, United States Army, giving the
number of regiments furnished By Msssa-
chusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, during the late war

plea of war expenditures that State drew
from the Treasury $9ll ,243 more than
OHIO.
MASSACHUSETTS AGAINST THE TREASURY.
Fifty years have elapsed, my friends,
since the close of the war with England.
and from that hour to the present Massa-
ceusetts has been prying at the Treasury
on the score of expenditures; while the
fact IS, her authorities Tere opposed to the
war from first to last
But, notwithstanding all this, she has
been three times paid in full on her claim
for expenditures during the war of 1912. |
And this, too, while the history of the |
Hartford Convention still exists, and |
while 1t Is not denied that the Governor,
Legislature and Judiciary, all holding the |
Calhoun doctrine of State Rights, decided |
that even in time of war the President |
could not command the State MALTA.

OHIO AND NEW ENGLAND.
Is it surprising, then, Ohians, that Mas
sachusetts, as shown by the reports of Mr. |
Wells, is worth $77, 900, 900 more than
Ohio? 1t is surprising that she paws

by the last report of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, page 241, for the fiscal |

million and half more internal revenue
taxes than all the New England States |

THE GREED OF NEW ENGLAND.
Oucn Is Ihe greed OF New England that |
the ablest champion of her interests felt |
called upon to denounce it. In the course
of the debate in the House, April IA, 1870. |
l read from the Daily Globe that General |
spoke as follows: "The gentleman
from Massachusetts (Mr. Butler5 says that
Ohio has been in good part settled by
people from New England, and that we
are just as selfish as they are in New
England Well sir we have human ma
ture as they have it in New England, and
may be selfish, ALSO but if we are selfish,
we are more moderate in ourselfshness.-
They cannot be satisfied with less than
