MARsEILLEs, January LITTLE meas
ures now before the Assembly for
imposing a tax on raw material has
been the means of rousing the manu-
featuring community of this and other
large cities for the protection Of their
interests. In this city, in Lyons, in
Bordeaux and in all leading commercial
centres of the country, the same oppo-
sition to the measure is manifested. 1t
is probable that these protests by most
inflicted portion Of the people may have
the effect of influencing a majority IN
the Assembly to decide against the
measure. t .sfsEEs Jus

What the Press Thinks of Sup
pressing inquiry.

1
The Republican journals throughout
the country. except q few tshome or
gans" Of Congressman who were afraid
of reform, are almost unanimous against
the attempts of Messrs. Conktin, Came
ron. Nye and Chandler to stifle investi-
cation. The Detroit Tribune confesses
its inability to appreciate the motives
of the majority of the United States Sem
ators in the course they have seen fit to
pursue in regard to Mr.. Trumbull's eff
fort to secure thorough investigation
into all the departments of the civil ser
vice."
The Wheeling Lntelligencer says that
any attempt by the friends of the admin
istration to prevent or embarrass the
most searching investigation will be
fatal mistake. If the administration
cannot afford to have its management of
the government investigated, still less
can it afford to oppose demand that it
be investigated" a. f4f,ss
The New Haven Palladium says: ''The
course of Senators Morton, Conkling,
Nye and others. who claim to be special
champions Of the administration, in cp-
posing the Committee of Investigation
demanded by Senator Trumbull, is SIM
ply incomprehensible. They are doing
their worst to injure the cause they say
they wish to serve, and are playing into
the hands of its enemies"
The Waterbury american says that the
President is placed in "a suspicious po-
sition by his over-zealous friends in
the Senate, who have defeated Senator
Trumbull's BILL"
The Pottsville Miners Journal, while
asserting that it supports President
Grant and twill advocate his reelection
unless some huge blunder is made" de-
clares that it "will not be gagged in the |
expression of opinion, and adds: "Mr.
Trumbull's resolution may or may not
be right. But it is certain that the
course of those Senators vho oppose
any movement of the kind creates the
that the administration is
afraid of an investigation.
The Springfield Republican asserts
hat there is not Republican journal
in New England which supports the at
Tempt to suppress debate. It believes
hat "Senators Conkling, Morton and
Nye, and the men who voted with them
against Mr.. Trumbull's propositions for
and reform Investigations,
nay well be called administration en-
smies, rather than administration
.riends." L
The Boston Transcript declares that
'no whitewashing Republicans are
and that "the great mass of
he Republican party very justly have
aith in the integrity of President Grant.
But strong as he is in the regard of the
country, he canno. afford to be defended
" such questionable fellows as Senators
Jonkling, Chandler, Harlan and Cole.
Their special endorsement of good
character excites suspicion
The Trenton Gazette says: "The SEN
Itors who opposed Mr.. Trumbulls
