50 able jurist the people have never
questioned That he is on impartial
judge his recorded decisions stand to

ing aristocracy; but they are fast
fading out before the rising liberals
who are to succeed in the govern
ment. America lost her ocean COM
merce during the war. and England
gained what we lost. This. next to
the war, was our heaviest loss. Can
our commerce be regained I? This ia
the practical question of the day for
Americans. Substituting lines of
steamers and sail vessels is too ex-
pensive. But for our great debt we
might afford. Britain subsidies.
whether able or not, and by this
means carries most of our commerce
as we'll as the commerce of Europe,
Asia and Africa-consequently, she
also supplies the markets OF the
world with manufactured stuffs, and
carries home the raw material for
manufacture from all parts of the
world.
AMERICAN POLICIES.
But America has still enough work
to do. The great danger is in our
excessive importations from Britain
-excesses over exports so heavy
that the cash balances against us may
keep US all the while hard up for
money to pay balances. This can
be only be managed by tariff regu.
lations that shall prohibit some i'm
portations, partly prohibit others
protect our manufactures in some
things, in others not protecting, and
in actual necessaries of life not tax
ing at all. Our own manufactures
must be kept in blast, whether by
tariff protection or by bonus offer
ings. If our wooden factories arc
not protected we must stop raising
sheep. If cotton wares are not pro.
tected, we must send hundreds O
millions TO Europe for cotton stuffs
Same Of other things. But these
points are self evident to all whC
think, and am writing for no others

Should Capitol be Permanent or
Movable

After listening to the storm raging
around in regard to the above ques.
ton, hoping it might soon blow over,
we conceive it necessary to counsel
wisdom, moderation and q due re-
gard TO the ancient landmarks OF our
fathers. The question, what city
shall DO honorcd with State build
ings, is Of no little moment when it
comes in the form Of q proposition
TO break up all the ties and arrange
ments of finished, long established
and central capital and begin anew
at the instigation of more wealthy
town. 1t is incompatible with the
dignity Of q state like this, to fly
from its long fixed purpose on a
whimsical pretext like the complaints
Of hotel boarders.
The agitation is blow struck for
tho Capitalization and consolidation
OF power, patronage and influence at
tho commercial metropolis Of the
State. AS wo value o proper distr-
button Of the various elements OF
power, wo should avoid combining
thom in ono city, OF in the hands of
ono local faction Of men. Milwaa-
koo has heavy commercial and Il, r..
corporations which would delight TO
set the legislation into their tolls
md exert O controlling lobby influ-
once ovor il il their own city, in-
stead of having 10 come 10 Madison
and encamp around that august body
far from their base OF operations
Very likely tho object and hopo OF
Milwaukee is 20 cndeayor to frun''
tEa Legislature 10 it's own profit and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Those who know
the oxtont and character OF the in
fucnco it has welded in days past,
the means it has used, to further it's
R.B. schemes, will Judge for them
selves, Whether wo shall find Mil
waukoo or Madison influence the
safer guido.
We have just completed, on q loca
ton the most delightful, State
house, which, for strength and con-
venience and beauty, is unsurpassed.
We're it not bettor to use this build
ing, in which over 100000 of the
peoples money is invested, at least
through one term before abandoning
it, TT. Crawford-like, to the owls and
bats, the boys and thieves of de-
cayed town.
The Legislature should not accept
brides from vast and interested cor
poratons. 1t is sad enough to see
how potent charm o paltry r. II.
pass becomes in many cases. But
when a large city can bride a State
by gilt OF new Capitol, as is offer
ed by the Milwaukeans, it will of
course feel that it has only to ask in
future and will receive. Away with
brides and promises; we,have our own
Capitol, honestly paid for, and are
under obligation to no city.
Thirty years ago Madison was
considered central and accessible
enough. 1t is incomparably more so
now, and is finished seat Of govern
ment. The State has nothing more
90 desire; but Milrdukee pdnts the
Capitol to show the State that she
knows how to keep hotel
