MR.. SUUNERS SPEECH.

We are not sure that our greatest Senator
did not make yesterday the greatest speech of
his life In his long and illustrious public
career there have been grander occasions and
more inspiring themes offered to him. Those
lofty and thrilling orations in which lie laid
the foundations of the Republican party, in
which he exposed the Barbarism of Slavery.
in which he at one blow denounced
and paralyzed the crime against Kansas, will
never pass from the memory of his fellow
citizens. They form an imperishable page in
our literature as well as in our history. But the
speech of Yesterday will take its place beside
the best of them, as a worthy masterpiece of
the man whO in his triple quality of states
man, scholar, and philanthrOpist, holds an I'M
questioned and unequaled position in our po-
ltical annals.
1t may not gain such an immediate and
universal popularity as either of those great
efforts upon which his earlier fame was founded.
There is little which is provocative of enthu-
siasm in the clear passionless dissection of a
sordid character and career. A people 30 strong
in its liberties and so sure of their perpetuity
as ours, is apt to feel but langmd interest
in the exposure of illegal and unrepublican
tendencies in its rulers. Even those who
are opposed to Gen. Grant have, as general
thing, so mean an opinion Of his capacity,
that they entertain but little apprehension
as to the results of his glazing errors.
They feel the discredit and Inconvenience Of
such an Administration. but survey with little
serious alarm its bungling steps toward per-
sonal government. The Senator who, in

THE POLICE And THE POLICY SHOPS

THE POLICE AND THE POLICY SHOPS.
The resolution of the Police Board asking
information about the policy shops of New
York, gives honest folk hope that determined
raid on this most infamous system of gambling
is about to be made. Policy, let us say for the
benefit of those who do not know what the
iniquity consists of, is a species of gambling
based on the idea of bringing that luxury, as
its advocates call it, within the reach of the
poorest classes. Policy dealers are the pick
pockets of the gambling profession y they do
not disdain to take pennies when they cannot
get away with pounds; and their aim is to
steal from the depraved many who are poor
individually but wealthy in the aggre-
gate, rather than from the reckless few
who are rich. No bold highwaymen they
who risk life or limb in their unlawful
pursuits, but rather despicable sneak thieves
who play the beggar when detected or dis
cOmfted. Naturally in a large city like this
where the poor are many and the absolute
classes large, this plan of gambling finds
many supporters-pOOr dupes who annually
become poorer and more depraved in cOnse-
quence of indulgence in the folly. Here
Policy has, therefore, its stronghold, and for
years it has controlled our courts and COM
manded our police. This is no exaggeraton.
1t has lately lost from the Supreme Court its
principal protection; the Police Justices are
not as powerful friends as they were wont to
be; and we hope that, hencefOrth, no officer
of police, whether he be Sergeant Captain.
Inspector or Superintendent, can afford to
cOuntenance the sneaks who deal in this cheap
swindle in defiance alike of decency and of
law.
And now that the Police Board is mysteri
ously moved to do its duty with lottery
dealers, why may we not have suppression of
the hundred or more gambling bells which
disgrace New-Yorkf There is no need to call
for a list of these, for THE TRIBUNE has lately
published one. There are few names still
to be added to make it complete, and the
character of some Of the dens has been
changed because of the lack of victims
Reform nearly killed half of them, and We
heartily wish the Police Board may put an
end to the other half. Only week ago Presi-
dent of Westchester bank was swinded out of
$4,000 in one of these places; and within a
month Wall-st. broker and Major General
Of the Army have been robbed in another
hell, especially under police protection, in the
most shameless manner. The Board Of Police
can reform the worst Of these places out of
existence, and beginning with the fieecers of
the poor, We hope it will extend Its operations.

. The result of the discussions of the Board
of ADpOltiOnment upon the estimates for car
rying on the City and County Government for
1872, makes amends i'll some degree for the
manner in which the conferences which led to
il have been conducted. The appropriations
are one and half million less than the
amounts asked for, and ten million or more
less than Tammany has been in the habit of
spending annually for several years back All
this is highly cOmmendable economy; but it
seems necessary just now, and we take TINS
opportunity to say to the Board, intending
our remarks to apply not only to Messrs
Hall, Green, Van Mort, and Stebbins, or
his successor Mr.. 0lmsted, who compose
it, but with equal force to all officials
who have disposal of taxpayers funds and
conduct of public business, that this is no
time for the secret conduct of affairs of gen.
eral interest.
II is doubtless well meant, but such
proceeding has a faint of Tammany which
the people will not relish. Secret ex-
animation of the Riverside Park assessments
is going on now, but shall not long if The
TRIBUNE can give it publicity. The old claims
for Tammany contracts at high prices for
rotten pavements which were never asked for
or wanted by taxpayers, were under examina-
ton in unadvertised session of the Commits
sioners appointed by bill struggled through
the Legislature until THE TRIBUNE put stop
TO that business. There are other secret ses-
sions much too frequently held. The people
demand the abolition Of all that sort of bust
ness, and mean to have it ended, for there is
no safety where the least concealment is toll
Grated. There must be no more Star Chamber
proceedings in either Room No. 10, the Con-
troller's Office, or the Common Council Cham
ber and neither Judge, Auditor, Mayor, Al
dermen, nor the least in position Of the Citys
servitOrs, can afford to avoid scrutiny. The
people mean to watch the public debt and its
growth hereafter Let this be understood
without further delay, and Tammany prac-
tees abandoned at once by those who are
succeeding SO well in reforming Tammany

SILK.


As there are people who indolently allow
Mr.. Wells to think for them with regard to
| Political Economy, we ask attention to his
exhibition of his powers at the late meeting
of Free-Traders. He says:
"snce the year 1864 the duties imposed on the lmpOr
aton OF silk have averaged co per cent ad valorem and
If assume the average annual value OF the silk con-
sumed domestic and foreign at OOOOOO the aggregate
Of consumption the last eight years would be
sented by a value of s2OOOoOOO. Now one doubt
that however it may be in other cases, in this instance
least the cost of the silk consumed by the American
people has been augmented 10 exact proportion to the
duty imposed upon its import, or in other words, that
the American people have paid, in eight years,
si9OOO more than they otherwise would, had the inn
portation OF silk been permissible without duty. Now
what has the silk industry Of the country got to show Tor
this expenditure Why. gnd in the statements sub
mted by them 10 the Committee in defense of the ex
listing duties thai there are at present invested in the
domestic silk manufacture about twenty-five millions OF
capital. which gives employment, all told TO not more
than the equivalent of 10000 ablebodied hands SAID
to myse-as every sensible man must say-that II thls
is all that we got to show for an expenditure OF
sl90OO in eight years, or S2OOOOO II we go pack TO
1860 it has been on the whole very Improbable invest
ment and that 1t would have been far more profitable
for the Government TO have pensOned each man,
and child engaged In this business, and to have allowed
the public in general to have bought their silk where
they could obtain The cheapest and TO have taken 1t
for granted they could have used their savings thus
effected in a way that would have produced greater
and more beneficial result than any which could have
been attained to under an artificial and obstructive
policy"
Now Mr.. Wells is perfectly aware that the
duties on silks were imposed with primary
regard to ReCeRue. Our War expenditures
were enormous, our credit Over-taxed, our
income glaringly inadequate; so Congress was
Obliged to increase taxes, and 1t fixed upon
Silks (among other things) as able to bear the
burden, arguing that those who chose to wear
Silks could pay taxes. Of the sum total paid
for Silks since 1864, or 1861, at least
nine-tenths have been paid for foreign
or imported Silks, and all the enhancement
of cost by the Tariff has gone directly into
the Treasury. This is "what the country
"has to show for this expenditure "-armies
fed clad, and armed, pensioners subsisted,
debt paid. Not tenth of the money paid
for Silks has gone to american manufacturers,
whose total receipts for all their products can
hardly have been S3O,OOOOOO, instead of the
s2OOOOOOOO, on which Mr.. Wells ciphers,
whereof 100000 would be a large estimate
for the enhancement of price by the Tariff.
