HAYES BARGAIN.

A letter penned by President Hayes and ad-
dressed to Gen. Garfield has been published
without contradiction, in which our worthy
President requests that Mr.. Garfield will not
be candidate for the Senatorship against
Mr.. Stanley Mathews, and in consideration Of
an accommodating spirit upon the part Of
Garfield, Mr. Hayes assures him that he will
use his influence to make him Speaker Of the
ntxt House, and he has no doubt OF success.
At the time of the writing Of this letter the
members Of the present House had been
elected and it was conceded that the Democrats
would have good working majority Why
was it then that Mr.. Hayes felt certain OF Gar
fields selection as Speaker, when he MAS a
Republican of the blacklist stripe and the most
violent character? Did be suppose that
Democratic House would elect such man
His expectations were undoubtedly based upon
the agreement made by himself, through the
agency of Mr.. Stanley Mathews, with the
Southern members lie expected them TO CO.
operate with him in building up a new party,
but in This we are glad to see he is mistaken.
Every Democrat in the House voted for Mr.
Randall, and If any agreement was ever en-
tered into by them with Mr.. Hayes they have
justfably betrayed his confidence.

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents Message is very brief
document. IL deals only with such matters
as in the Presidents Judgment require i'm
mediate action at the hands of Congress, and
touches upon no topic which is calculated to
excite debate Even with reference TO the
mooted question of increasing or decreasing
the army the President recommends that its
consideration should be deferred until after
the needed deficiency bill has been passed, and
provision made for the support of the army
for the current year at The maximum strength
Of 20, 900 men In the event Of q subsequent
reduction of the army the excess Of the APP
preparation could not be expended, and if on
the other hand the army should be increased
the additional appropriation required could
be voted in due time. 1t would be unjust 10
the troops now in service and whose pay is
largely in arrears if payment TO them should
be delayed while Congress is discussing the
proper limit Of our future military establish
ment, The President also suggests as deserv-
ing the attention of Congress at the present
session the propriety of making timely and
suitable provision for the adequate represen-
taton of the United States its varied products
and industries, at the Paris exhibition Eext
year. He recommends re-appropriation of
the small amount appropriated by previous
Congress, but subsequently, covered into the
treasury, to defray the expenses Of commits
sioners from this country to the International
Prison Congress TO be held upon the invita-
ton OF the Swedish government ut Stock
holm next year. These suggestions, with
recommendations in favor of an immediate
appropriation for the restoration OF the Patent
Office and the passage of the naval deficiency
and judiciary efficiency bills, comprise the
whole OF the message.

Gated that they were the product of no ordi-

HOME IND USTRTES.

New England is justly called the manufac-
turing portion of our country. In fact all other
portions of this country seem to be utterly
devoid of those manufactures which furnish
as much the necessares of life ms bread and
meat, From the vast looms of New England
rushes forth the great amount of cotton and
cloth that supplies the people of this entire
continent with clothing, and into the pockets
Of New England rolls astonishing wealth in
repayment. The producers of cotton, and
they who raise sheep and supply the wool,
inhabitants Of the West and South, sell their
produce to The East snd thcn buy it back
when IL is woven into cotton and cloth at
considerably increased price. We furnish the
s0o at fifty cents, they weave it into cloth
and send It back TO us for one dollar, causing
us TO lose just what we get for it and fifty
cents more by its being returned to us. Is it
not apparent TO every one that what we need
is manufactures Mt our door where the pro-
ducer may carry his produce and have it
manufactured into what he needs and pay
what the work is actually worth. And why
cannot we do this as easily as have our meal
and -four mills where our corn and wheat are
ground nj a comparatively small cost Here
in our own county we have every thing thot ia
necessary TO rear and sustain manufactures
If it requires water-power, within nine miles
of the county seat, At the Great Falls, can be
found the most powerful power in the world.
II steam engines, they can be purchased at small
cost which will give the desired power We
have only need of that pushing indomitable
energy Of the people of New England to
make this State one Of the first manufacturing
portions of the country.
