WHILE the tariff-tinkers in Washington
are trying their hands on the possibility of
squaring the financial circle by non-pro-
tective rule and compass, the workingrnen
of the country-those whose muscle and
skill go to make up so much of the sum
total Of our national wealth--are pouring
their petitions into Congress against any in
reference with the protective policy of the
government, under which they earn their
comfortable livelihoods, and add such an
increased home demand for tho farming
products of the country. These are the
men who are petitioning Congress by hum
dreds and thousands not to yield to the
persistent clamor of the free-tradcrs, EN-
ployed, in many instances, by English cap
ital, and working uniformly in its intere& to
overthrow the American system Of industry
which has grown up to its present imposing
dimensions under the fostering care of
the government. The iron-workers of East.
ern Pennsylvania are particularly forward
in this movement, and their voice ought to
be potential among the Representatives and
senators of those States where this great
interest is being so rapidly developed. Mr..
Kiliinger, of Pennsylvania, called the at
tention Of the House to these petitions on
Saturday, and in the course Of his re-
marks said: "We all know that
there is short and decisive way to
effect revenue reform without disturb
ing the protective system and destroy
| ing the industrial interests of the country.
| Abolish at one stroke the whole informal
revenue system, so far as the income taxes
and stamp duties are concerned, and limit
its future operation to the two articles of
whislley and tobacco, and you will secure
a revenue reform that will meet the unqual-
flied approval of the people. Thus you
will not stop the busy hum Of industry
throughout the land you will not put out
the fires of our furnaces and FORCES you
will not cover the land with desolation as
with pail" r..5. ra. .
The fact that the members of Congress,
who clamor the most violently for nom
protective policy, do not desire the aboli-
ton of internal taxation, and refuse to lift
any burden from the people in that direc-
ton, or to make any reduction of duties
except upon articles coming in competitor
with foreign manufactures, is conclusive
proof that they are influenced by motives
purely un-American, as much so as they
could possible be, were they to appear on
the floor of either house of Congress as the
avowed attornies of the British interests
they represent. -.s-...-.-.-....

THE excitement over the Alabama
claims" in England seems to have met
with no abatement, the leading London
journals asserting that the House of Com
mons is unanimous in repudiating the adj
visibility of the American claim for indi-
rect losses. Newspaper discussions keep
the public mind highly agitated, and the
effect of the excitement is especially felt on
Change, where business for the time being
is said to be thoroughly demoralized. The
market for American securities is knocked
flat, and great anxiety is manifested to
know whether the government at WASH
ington will rccede from the claims made
before the Geneva tribunal, in accordance
with the request minated in the Queens
speech. In the meantime, the reports that
come from Washington represent our gov
eminent as inhexible in its position, which
is that the demands made are just, and that
no modification of them will be made be-
fore the tribunal Of arbitration. ....

THE SECOND number of the new 'sKan-
sas Magazine" is on our table, showing
marked improvement. The most notice.
able article is from the able and fruitful
pen of Colonel Richard Hinton, of WASH
ingtOn, formerly of Kansas. Colonel Hin
ton details some interesting "reminiscences
of the great struggle TO save Kansas to
freedom, and revives pleasantly and freshly
our recollection of the men and events of
those stirring times, somewhat faded in
the mightier conflicts of the civil war. A
devoted and earnest participant in the con-
flict from the first, his knowledge is per-
sonal and accurate and reproduces wildly
much that we had almost forgotten.
James w. Steele contributes paper on
New Mexico, devoted to the geographical
features of that country, and the mode of
life of the people, especially as it regards
their religious observances. Ward Bur-
lingame discusses the ABUSES of Indepen-
dent Journalism" with special reference
to Kansas papers claims that news is the
first essential of newspapers /; and sharply
criticises the use of personalities in the
conduct OF paper. Charles B. Wilkin-
son contributes the second instalment of
his "Border Annals" in which he graph
ically narrates all the movements in 1862
and '63, which led to the deliv-
erance of st. Joseph from Rebel
rule. The story of "Madame Rein
hardt" is very dull and common
place, and its insertion does not show over
careful editorship. James M. Harvey, in
a paper called Plutocracy," makes
searching review of the manner of con-
Quoting Official movements in Kansas, and
comments upon the demoralizing effects of
bribery. John James Ingalls, contributes
a very readable paper called "Catfsh

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.


THE WoAAS's JoURNAL-The friends of woman
suffrage, who wish to keep the issue clear from
entangling alliances with other reforms and the
endless host of individual whims and vagaries-
who would pursue 1t with the same singleness of
aim that marks the movement in England, and
the temperance and other special reforms in this
country, have established a weekly paper, the
Wo'ndr's Journal, published in Boston and Chi
cago, and edited by Mrs. Livermore, Mrs. Lucy
Stone, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mr.. Vim. Lloyd
Garrison, and Mr.. T. w. Higginson, assisted by
accomplished friends of the cause. The Wo
mans Journal is a fair and attractive paper in
appearance, while the variety and spirit of it's
articles, and the dignity, self-respect, good
humor, and earnestness of it's tone, will show
how profoundly mistaken are those who suppose
that folly and extravaganza are necessarily char
acteristic of the discussion Of the question. The
Journal is indispensable to those who would
truly understand the character of the movement
and measure its progress. -Hnper's Wsskly.
