DsS~ We have in our hands an address
by Edward Harris Esq, of Woonsockct,
r. /, before the Special Committee of the
General Assembly of Rhode Island, on
Tariff Reform, at the January session,
in which he shows the inequality oftax-
alton on all classes, and the right Of the
Legislature to adjust prices on articles
belonging to that of their ucighbor;
also the effect of the tariff on our agri-
cultural interest, a portion of which is
the following:
"How does this tariff affect our agri-
cultural interest? In 1860 about sevep
millions, or two-thirds of the laboring
people OF this country, were engaged in
agricultural pursuits. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that about the same proper
ton are so engaged now. Some Of the
principal articles which our farmers
have TO dispose Of, are wheat, rye, corn,
oats, beef pork, butter, cheese, lard,
cotton aud rice. Who makes the price,
and where is it made for these articles I!
All made in Europe the surplus being
sent there, makes the price for our own
market; whilst the farmer is taxed by
this Tariff for every implement made Of
ZION or steel which he uses, and for ev-
cry article he wears, from so to 1870 per
cent, For his carpets from GO to 100
per cent. for his blaokcts from 100 to
POO per cent, The protcclionists well
aware Of this, cndcNvor to make the
,ormer believe he is protected by the
Tariff VI 100 per cent. and upwards on
his fine wool; but this is only another
deception, as it is the price Of the for
cign manuiacIured.goods which governs
the price Of lis wool. These goods are
brought into the country at a duty Of
less than one.half Of the duty which is
paid on wool consequently it protects
the foreign manufacturer at the expense
VI DNl "" II L HIS - UlSu
protection to British industry"
lie also shows how the tariff on woods
and wooleus was brought about, and
how it affects this important interest.
He says THAT reduction must take
place, and unless it does it will result in
the ruin OF the country, or prosperity
will never return to business now de-
pressed, and the further development OF
manufactures will cease aud that he
does not hesitate to assert "that if such
a change of policy is brought about 1t
will result in the improvement of every
branch of industry" We agree with
Mr.. Harris on this subject. Printed

Ex.Secretary WeIles as President

Navy during the administration of Prcsi

to the further reconstruction of the

est executive. With neither the mind
nor the training Of a statesman, he SIM
ply fails to be statesman. He is sold
Ter, and, if he had remained one, his lau.
rels would not have faded. He has not
the brain TO compel fate, nor to create
opportunity; but, both favorable to him
he has the will aud the perseverance to
reach the prize that they prolIer. This
quality made him successful in war,
above men as brave and greater than
himself. Exceptionally poor and uusuc-
cesstul as man, till war lifted him to
prosperity, men who have amassed for
trues through the faculties which make
money have II powerful fascination for
him. Thus men famous for wealth
alone, unintelIectual men, without
knowledge of diplomacy or statecraft,
are the most intimate friends of the
president, have q powerful influence
oyer him, and have probably had more
power in his administration than such
men have ever had in any other. While
it is a fact that the men in Congress
who are the confidential advisers of the
president, with perhaps single eXcep.
ton, are not the men Of the highest
statesmauship purity or honor--not the
men above reproach, either in the SEN
ate or in the House Not that any one
accuses the president of their vices but
like men of stubborn prejudices, intense
will and common intellect, he instinct
lively dislikcs his intellectual superiors,
and finds it much more enjoyable in the
administration of government to execute
military discipline than to take political
advice. A successful general, he was
never so great as his successes made
him seem; an unsatisfactory executive,
he is yet au ADLER man than his actions
often make him appear. He only affords
another proof that a trained soldier true
to his autecedeuts, if no more. is not a
statesman, and by no opportunity Of
power can he be transformed into one.
The reaction from enthusiasm felt to-
ward Gen. Grant is manifested ia great

Look at this Fact.

Vice President ColfaX, recently put
another rivet in the shackles which the
over-burdened taxpayers of the country
are now patiently wearing by giving the
casting vote in the Senate, against the
repeal of the income tax. Whenever a
Republican pretends to you that that
party is in favor of reducing or lessen
ing taxation tell him it is false. The
true regards Of the country will bear
you out in making this assertion.

The ShackleS Being Removed.

On Monday of last week, the House
Of Representatives passed the Amnesty
bill introduced by the Hon. Eugene
Hale of Maine, by a vote Of IA to 4G.
The only persons not ''relieved of polit'
sical disabilities by this act are included
in the three classes named. We use the
language of the bill;
First, Members of Congress of the
United States who withdrew thereirom
and aided the Rebellion.
Second, Officers of the Army or Ma
Wy of the United States who, being
about the age Of twenty.one years, left
said Army or Navy and aided the Re
bellion.
Third, Members Of the State Con
veutious which adopted the pretended
ordinances Of secession, who voted for
the adoption of such ordinances.
The bill is good as far as it goes. 1t
does not according to our view of the
matter, reach far enough. 1t should IT.
tend to all classes Of southcrners, and
those engaged in the late rebellion
consequently including the three classes
named above that Will take the oath OF
"alcgiauce' to the national government
and live up to the same, in good Fifth.
Probably no more violations of the
above named oath, would be found
among the same number Of men Of the
other claws Of the land - We should
all learn to haze christian charity and
lenity to all law breakers of whatever
kind or character
We honestly believe that the passage
of such an unconditional amnesty bill as
we have indicated above, by Congress
would soon restore perfect harmony,
unity, peace aud prosperity, throughout
the whole entire South aud would be Ter
the benefit Of the nation at large. We
hope to record soon the passage of such
O. general "pardon" or "Amncsiy' law
by Congress, and thus permanently and
surely end all luther trouble and annoy
