A RED hot POTATO,

1t has not been many months since
Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, was as
much commended as Portia while her state
ment of the law was in favor of Shylock
His opinions as to the Illegally of the
Kellogg government went high above the
par of the highest political or judicial
authority. He was then second Daniel
come to judgment. It was announced
that this gallant and able young states
man would not be held down by the
trammels Of party, and he was exhorted
to cast off the shackles of Grant and
stand erect in all the majesty of Demo-
cratic manhood. Well, time paid no at.
tention to the Vaccinations of erring
mortals, but rocked along as usual,
bringing, among other events, the defeat
Of Senator Carpenter for re-elec-
ton by the Wisconsin Legislature. One
would have supposed that Democratic
sympathy would have been awakened for
his defeat, if for no other purpose than
to have encouraged his desertion.
The Democrats had no further use for
the young statesman Of the West, but
transferred their admiration to other sup
posed dissenters. There is ample reason
for this neglect. Ex-senator Carpenter
availed himself of the earliest opportunity
to say that he kissed the Republican
rod of rotation in Office, and chung the
closer to his principles; that he had thus
an opportunity to demonstrate their sin
cerity. So the Democrats drop Nh. Car
penter as potato altogether too hot to be
held with any comfort or advantage.
Not at all discouraged by this injudicious
endeavor to seduce true Republican
from his duty, the Democrats commence
manipulating Senator Edmunds. For
few days he will be endowed with every
human virtue; by and by, it will be seen
that he seeks the maintenance, not the
dissolution of the Republican party, and
next, with many anathemas, he will be
denounced as altogether unworthy DEM
ocratic confidence or approval. These
political potatoes are very palatable, no
doubt, but their internal caloric is too
intense to be agreeable. Let the Demo-
Gratis drop them.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-02-21

decline in the price ct provisions. The
Granger movement has been produced by
the unequal proportion between the price
Of corn and The railroad freight to market.
The West suffers from the absence Of for
eign demand. It feels more palpably the
effect of local and general taxes, and it
naturally charges upon the political party
in power the respon sibility for the de-
preston.
These Western farmers bear heavier
burdens than those who live nearer the
sea. The limited market for provisions
can be supplied by the Eastern producer
earlier and on better terms than by the
Western producer. There should be, then,
| new demand for the Western cereals
created.
The West should then demand the
State Department in turn. It has men of
eminent ability; it has interests of infinite
value. A Western statesman would at
once endeavor to open foreign demand
for Western productions if it be possible.
The European market can be supplied
from Northern Europe on better terms
than from our Western States.
If then We need more foreign mar
ket-and the Western States are more
interested in that market-why is the
diplomatic department of the federal gov
eminent so long withheld from the West?
For nearly quarter of century the
cities of Boston and New York have alter
nately held this important Office. The
capital and shipping interests have direct
ed our treaty relations with the world,
and this trade would be conducted by
Western steamboats,, barges and railroads,
to the credit of Western merchants, manu-
facturers and bankers. The Western
press should take up this subject and i'm
press its import lance Upon the national
administration.

commercial purposes. Now that the way
has been opened by the action of the
Chinese authorities, this diplomacy will
find a legitimate field for the exercise of its
best powers, especially that We have had
the benefit of the labors of one Of our
own esteemed and valuable citizens in the
interest of those people who have SO long
maintained determined obstinacy for
association and intercourse with foreign
ers. There is nothing more significant
and at the same time so instructive as the
conclusion to be drawn from the history
Of the unforeseen advances to which refer
ence has already been made.
Not only diplomacy was powerless to
effect either of the objects now attained by
the independent action Of the Chinese
government for their own ends, but these
nm ediate ends would have had no exist
ence save for the efforts the Chinese have
been making for more than twenty years
past to create arsenals and steam fleets for
""AAiAO Pun poses' anu Will AoStilo A"tAeI
than peaceable intentions toward foreign
ers. The results so long desired in She
interests of foreigners are due at last to
the means taken by the Chinese to place
themselves in a position to resist all at
tempts on the part Of treaty powers to
secure them.
AS we shall increase our intercourse
and communication with these Asiatics
and the country in which they live, new
channels Of trade will be opened by which
to add to the national resources of our
country, and bestow upon them benefits
of which they have been deprived for SO
many years.

A WESTERN SECRETARY OF STATE,

Our diplomatists seem satisfied with
the Monroe doctrine as applied to the ex-
clusion of any aeao despotism from repub-
lican America. They do not reflect that,
if we leave to European merchants, man
ufacturers, priests and publishers, the
monopoly Of commerce and education
upon this continent, they will perpetuate
the ideas of monarchical Europe as effect
ually as viceroy or a captain general
could possibly do.
With the immense growth of production
in the United States an .additional. market
is indispensable, yet We find ourselves
forced out from other States of the CONT
nent by treaty regulations, and by sys-
tenn of tariffs on each side that seem to
have been enacted to repress instead of
promoting commercial intercourse For
this cause the United States can not send
its surplus provisions into other continent
tai States, and those States can send very
little of their raw material to us. Hence
the annual remittance of more than a
hundred millions Of specie to pay for
tropical products, which sum is at once
forwarded by those who receive it to pay
for European goods. Thus not only is
the United States tributary to Europe for
the millions Of specie annually RENTED
to pay for imports and the interest on
public securities, but nearly our whole
payment for tropical goods goes to Eu-
rope also. We enjoy, therefore, the
empty honor Of keeping any ne,o European
monarch off the continent, while Europe
governs the continent by her commerce
and her ideas, and we furnish in good
part the specie to pay the continental
subsidy.
This inactive policy should be aban-
doned. twill be impossible that the
United STAKES shall ever acquire political
influence with the people whose liberties
she guarantees against the despotisms of
Europe unless by intimate commercial in
tercourse with them.
Our object in these general remarks has
been to call the attention Of our readers to
the importance Of such a system Of
treaties as will enlarge our foreign mar
ket. What causes the stagnation in West
ern trade and the excitement in Western
politics? The want of an adequate mar
ket for this surplus and the consequent

SOME DOUBT ABOUT IT.

The other side of the Franklin street
moss factory nuisance was heard yester.
day. Mr.. c. S. Clark, the proprietor, al
leges that some of the signers of the petit
ton now state that their names were oh.
tanned through mistake, and that they
will apply for permission to erase them.
Four others declare their names were
forged. Three remain firm. But three
do not form legal majority of the voters.
Hence there may not be such great haste
to pronounce it nuisance. Anything in
the shape Of factory, workshop or estab-
lishment to make an honest living in, is
regarded by some of our ruined people"
as nuisance, and generally big fuss is
stirred up until the annoying hum of
busy wheels and the sleep disturbing trips
Of the hammer are stopped. A moss fac
tory is an affliction, barricade, an object
of patriotic admiration. And yet there is
no doubt the factory is the better institu-
ton in the long run. We hope Mr.. Clark

''nuisances" rising SO near his sacred

himself by buying Northern ice and
voting for Eads' obstruction scheme in
the Chamber of Commerce. The same
hostility has pursued nearly every other
attempt at enterprise in this city. Per-
haps the less distinguished citizens of
Franklin street have been tarred with the
Gunnybags stick, and take the occasion
of Mr.. Clark's factory to show their blood
and breeding.
