York keeps her pace in the path Of empire
and the nation feels that she can be proud of
the bold and gifted men who preside over these
highways of business and travel.
How is it with Erie? As we have said,
there is no nobler highway than the Erie road.
It was the natural successor to the Erie
Canal. It was built by honest men, spending
the money of our honest citizens. II was
necessary to our through trade with the West.
Englshmen and Germans-the alien and the
ctizen-invested in its shares and its bonds.
Millions and millions Of dollars were given to
its managers by men who saw that It was a
gigantic work, and should pay honest and
liberal dividends; and the American people
were proud of it as an evidence Of the enter
prise and foresight and energy of the national
character. But the hope of the founders Of
Erie-the high and honorable anticipations of
the men who planned II as new line
of business and travel, have been cruelty dis
appointed The history Of Erie is simply
history Of crimes and evil adventures. II IL

interest and the value Of the "Newgate

rights Of stockholders and bondholders were
wantonly outraged. Its money was taken as
money is taken from the vaults of a bank by
midnight burglars. Lawyers we're made rich;
the courts were bribed theatres were built;
troupes of opera singers and ballet girls were
supported from its revenues; Legislatures were
bought; its shares were put up and down In
Wall street by men who, If justice had been
pure and vigilant, would have been in prison
and, to crown all, the press has been muzzled
and bribed, and public journalists have been
paid to deceive the public.

crimes had only been felt in New York. or

FROM WASHINGToN.-The Senate tariff bill,
which has been engrossed and will be sent to
the House of Representatives ON Monday, sur
renders revenue, it is estimated, to the amount
OF htty-four million two hundred and eight
Thousand dollars; of this twenty-five million
seven hundred thousand dollars will be internal
revenue sixteen million five hundred thousand
dollars, the duties on tea and coffee; and three
dollars, the free list; the other reductions being
duties ON manufactured articles. If Senator
Morton's theory is correct, however, the reduc-
ton of duties on manufactured articles will be
more than made up by the increased quantities
of those articles imported. Senator Freling-
huysen made an eloquent and interesting state
ment concerning the silk industry. 1t appears
that it originated here in 1851 in this wise: Mr..
Golden, interested in the cotton manufactures
of Manchester, effected treaty between
France and England establishing free trade
and the tariff of fifteen per cent on silk was
abolished. The effect of the abolition of that

To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
Please excuse me for taking exception to
some expressions in two short editorials in this
mornings Press. In the article entitled ga
Practical Temperance Movement" you charac-
terize the Temperance Legislation of last win
ter as ''e1treme." That word, in the connec-
ton, strikes me as not well chosen; it implies
that the legislation did not wisely adapt means
to desired end. 1t implies that an exaggera-
ted penalty has been attached to venial Of
fence. Let us understand the question at the
outset
The liquor traffic has been spoken of, and
justly, l think, as the most dreadful social
moral and political evil, from which society suf-
fers that it is the cause of more real practical
suffering and evil of various kinds, to the State
and people, than all the stealings robberies,
forgeries, counterfeitings and house burnings
combined l think that is true I do not
think any man will deny that it is SO.
Now the legislation of last winter was sim
ply this-no more:-that men who persist in
this evil trade in violation of law shall be held
to pay small part of the damage resulting
from their acts;-is that extreme? Again, the
Legislature commands the Sheriff. diligently,
to inquire after violations of the laws relating
to this business, which have been long on our
statute books, and to cause the offenders to be
punished; is that an extreme measure? Now
that is the whole of last winters legislation
touching this matter and do not think it can
be justly stigmatsed as ''ertrenae."
Again you "trust'' that the Sheriffs will not
hasten upon any "violentexecution of the law"
This seems to imply that there is danger of
such course of action has there been any in
dication of this?
In another article you say; Sheriff Perry has
been urged to Immediate violent and radical
action 1 think if Mr.. Perry shall state distinct
ly and explicitly, what course he has been
advised by temperance men to pursue, it will
be found that your ephithet violent is not
justified by the facts in the case
Perhaps I may misapprehend the drift of
of your articles but they seem to me to imply.
that the Sheriffs in your opinion have discre
ton, as to the fact, whether they will execute
the law or not. 1 know that..such is supposed
by many persons to be the case as to enforce
ment of all law;-that executive officers are at
liberty to enforce it or not in accordance with
their own views of convenience or expediency.
In America, it was said ON Ia memorable occa-
sion, that there is no law for those who have
money or friends N. d.

N. d. THINKS ''extreme' is not good
word to apply to the temperance legislation OF
last winter. If that is not extreme, we
don't know what the word means. 1t would
be little difficult to go much farther in the
way of legislative enactments. We do not
say that the legislation is bad but we must in
sist that it is extreme" He also thinks
that ardent temperance men have not advised
violent action. An adjuration ''to pitch in
and clean them out" seems to imply wish
for very sudden if not violent action. How
ever, we do not propose to be led into con-
troversy about words with IN. Dr. or any
other friend of temperance. De-. Ora ...4
N.D.must remember that some temperance
men are not as judicious and discreet as he.
If they were we should have had no occasion
for our remarks. We believe in N. d. and
know that our views are substantially alike in
these matters; so that we object to coming
into even apparent antagonism to him. We
all have enough to dom endeavoring to derive
some practical good from the situation with
out quarreling with each other.

duty on the silk manufactures of England was
that in 1861 six hundred thousand pounds
worth Of silk was imported, and in 1869 eight
million pounds, and the effect of this increased
importation was to break down the silk manu-
factories of England Their operatives and
their machinery and their capital were brought
to this country under our fostering protection,
and now there are in the United States twenty
five millions of capital employed in this bust
ness. In 1871 we imported fifty-two millions of
silk, and we manufactured thirty millions In
the town of Paterson, N. j., there are six thou
sand Operatives making livelihood by the
manufacture of silk goods. There are other
manufactures in Hartford, Ct, and in various
places in Massachusetts,. The nominal protec
ton is lessenng greatly by the fact that foreign

ties of silk are struggled into the country from

this valuable manufacture from England.
