The Interest-Two Great Mistakes.

me ntoreSJ-l"O l1TedI NAStofAos'
The editor of the Fredericksburg Herald
lin letter to his paper partially discaims,
as not expressing his convictions, the propo-
sition to limit interest to six per cent. ez-
cept upon strictly commercial paper, and to
impose tax Of one per cent. upon all such
PAPER bearing interest exceeding six per
cent. He goes for it as the expression OF q
esprit Of accommodation as beineen the
L" farming and trading interest Of The State"
This III an assumption that these two in-
terests are ut variance. This Is mistake
No. /.
The editor Of the Herald further says:
There will also be pressure for more
"revcnue 10 pay the interest on the public
| "debt; and II the lender Of money at nine
cor ten per cent. cannot assist in paying,
"who CAM"
The idea that the lender will pay the one
Der cent tax Is mistake No. 2. The borrower
will pay that tax as certainly as that our
friend General KELLY Is the representative
of Spotsylvania.
We fear he has not proftcd by the COM
mercial lessons dcducible from the trade and
financial transactions of Fredericksburg.
Merchants know that there is no conflict be-
tween the farmer aud the merchant,
and that their Interests are friendly and
kindred. When the merchant struggles TO
keep up bis business and pays unusual III
terest for the loan Of money he bat strives
to buy the farmers produce and place it In
market-to make advances to the farmer
that enable him to plant, manure, Guilt
vate, and gather his crops. Why should
the farmer desire to sce him bulthened
If he Is subjected to extraordinary bur
thens by ths Suite, how Is he TO malll-
tain himself unless he increases his comm!s-
sions and profits: So the farmer Is u!t!'
nately the loser. But the resource OF III
c. easing commissions to indemnify himself
cannot save the merchant from the injury to
business from legislation that is lnhospltablc
to commerce. Nothing short Of the rcI'ca!
of all such legislation can redeem commerce
from its disastrous influence and restore to
the State the activity and prosperity That
same kind Of Legislation dnprivcs her Of.
Glass legislation is abominablc. ltwoud he
especially SO in tho proposed compromise
about interest. If anybody is 10 lrly tax
for borrowing money, let everybody pay il.
II The design i. TO tax the lender. he ought
TO lie taxed in proportion to tie Interest he
receives if TO tax the borrower, he should be
taxed III proportion to the interest he pays ::
i. G., tho man that gets money ut six per
cent. should pay two-tiiths more tax than
the mau %ho gels it at ten per cent.
The very statement Of the case shows the
ahsurlity Of the attempt to impose tax for
the lcndtn9 or borrowing of money. Every
n,an engaged in commerce knows that the
Jo,ro,rcr always pays the tax, aud that the
State cunnot reach the tender.
Oh, it is wearisonle 70 follow the law
makers in their attempts to regulate money
and interest questions. They seem to be
engaged in studied effort to confuse the
subjects they take up. and all their acts but
ipiure trade and industry, and impair the
welfare of the Commonwealth.

The Grand Result.


The American people have deter
mined the Presidential succession for
four years m ore. lThey have by a
majority unparalleled and a unanim-
ity unprecedented declared that Gen.
u. s. Grant is worthy to be continued
in the office OF chief magistrate a sec
ond term. Abraham Lincoln and T..
S. Grant are the only Presidents since
1882, when Jackson was reelected,
who have in that long period of forty
years. been honOred by the people
with a second term in the Presidential
chair. The popular majority given
to Gen. Grant at the late election ap-
proximates eight hundred thousand,
while he will probably have three
fourihs of. the electoral college. The
DemO-Liberal party has proven as
great a failure as its pretensions were
a fraud. Never before did a corrupt
coalition of demagogues and disap-
pointed sore heads receive so stunning
and whitening a rebuke. The re-
election of General Grant proves that
at least this great Republic is not I'M
grateful. The fact is also established
that the intelligence and virtue Of the
American people is so high and true
as to place them beyond the demon
alizing schemes of mere political
gamblers.

A VICTORY for Protection.

LEAoAA ne EnAAhuGlpula ETeSS-l
Whit the triumphant reelection of
President Grant, Supplementary as 1t
does a new House of Representatives
still more largely Republican than
the last, the principle OF protection to
American industry isagain complete
" endorsed and its perpetuity assured.
Manufacturers need no longer trem-
bic lest their business should be de-
strOyed by an inundation of cheap
foreign goods. Workingmen need no
longer stand in apprehension of being
left without employment and their
children being obliged 10 90 hungry
in Older that British factory lords
may extend their markets and a few
fOie gn traders expand their business.
Capitalists, ready to invest millions
not only in the new mines of Penn
sylvania, Maryland, Indiana and
Ohio, but ven richer mineral resour-
ces Of many of the. Sou hwestern
States and territories, and i'm estab-
fishing manufactures of various kinds
all over the country, need hesitate
nor hoard their money no longer
through fear of a financial panic and
of a return TO the ruinous policy of
free trade.
Grant, the practical protectionist,
has triumphed over Greeley. the theo
Tetical proteetiOnist, who suffered
himself to be made the figure head
and standard bearer of a free trade
party, the success of which would
have been a staggering blow to native
industries by menaeing our well APP
proved protective tariff, and a proba-
BILE paralysis Of the monetary inter-
of the country by the a~pprehen-
sion it would have raised that on i'm
mediate resumption of specie pay
ments, or some other equally inn.
practicable scheme, might be urged
upon Congress.
The people have declared in favor
Of retainingin the Presidential chair
Of the nation the man who has shown
himself the steadfast friend not only
Of u beneiieent industrial sys-
lem, but of all the eountry's material
interests and of returning to the ed
.tOrial chair of the New York 7ri-
the most pungent protectionist
writer in America. Surely protec- |
,ionists should consider this glory
enough for one day.

Onr Mexican Trouble.

Everybody knows that the treaty of
1865 between this county and Mex
leo, for the settlement Of the claims
on both sides created since the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo, has never been
carried out by Mexico. But evely-
body should also know that Mexico
has no Intention of observing the re
quirements of that treaty. It is COM
Portable to be assured that we now
have an administration which nuts
the right construction upon the con-
duct OF Mexico under this treaty as
well as upon her character in general.
And we are just as certain as we can
be of anything in the future, that
President Grant will make the viola
tons of the treaty and the Mexican
depredatiOns on the Rio Grande, n
point Of departure for the extension of
The authority Of this country over
MeTico. Our sister Republic never
can pay, and never would paw If she
could, one-third of the lust claims of
American citizens for the s~poilations
they have suffered from her thieves
and TevolutiOnists. Such a payment
would have a tendency to prove that
the depredatiOns would not be con-
tinued.
So it will be with the Mexican
question. There is 10 more likeli-
hood that we will get justice under
Ledro de Tejado than that we should
have obtained it if Juarez lad not
died. Mexico is no nearer an escape
from the tolls of anarchy and revOlu-
ton, so for as her own action is con-
cerned, than she has been at any time
since the close of the Spanish domin-
Dlaz, the commander and
idol OF the Mexican revolutionists.
heretofore commander of the regular
Mexican army, has already had a
misunderstanding with the new Pres
and is now preparing to collect
his fufces in chihuahua to make war
against the National Government
This news has recently been tele.
graphed TO our State Department, by
the American Consul at Ell PasO,
Mexico, and will probably lead to the
collection of an army of observation
the frontier under the command
of General Sheridan.
