There Is probably no eminent man
In the country upon whose lie anu
genius aud career the verdict OF his
fellow citizens would be more immedi
ate and unanimous. His character and
life had simplicity and austerity OF
outline that had become universally
familiar, like II neighboring mountain
or the sea. His convictions were very
strong, and his temper uncompromi-
sing; he was independent Beyond most
Americans. He was an editor and
partisan; but he held politics and all
other things subordinate to the truth
and Common welfare, and his earnest
ness and sincerity and freedom from
selfish ends took the sting OF person.
ality fruin his opposition, and constant
ly placated all who, like him, sought
lofty and virtuous objects. Those who
watched the character of his influence
upon public affairs, and who saw him
daily moving among US venerable
citizen nOiselessly going his way, as
they marked the hot and bitter strife
OF policy, could not but recall the pic.
ture by the French painter Couture OF
the "I,ecadence of Reme," in which
the grave figure OF the old Roman
stands softly contemplating the riot
ous license and luxury of later day.
Bryant carried with him the mien and
the atmosphere of antique public viz
tue. He seemed living Embodiment
of that simplicity and severity and
dignity which we associate with the
old republics. A wise stranger would
have called him man nurtured in re-
publican air upon republican tradition.
We do not mean that he regarded
his country with the sorrowful despair
OF the old Roman in the picture. His
faith In the government and in the
people was firm. Indeed he was so
much natural republican that he
would have been the last 10 doubt.
This same bent Of nature showed itself
In the character Of his verse. His pO-
etry Is intensely and distinctiyely
American. lie was man Of scholarly
accomplishments, familiar with other
languages and literature. But there Is
no tone or taste Of anything not pecu.

written only In America by an Ameri'
can naturally sensitive to whatever Is

What are the Effects OF Protec-
tiOn Upon the Agricultural In.
ferests Generally

Whatever jndicious legislation stimulates
one branch of our industries to a healthy and
prosperous condition affects favorably all
featuring interests have been advanced large
ly through the effects of protective tariff
The Hon. Fernando Wood, in his speech on
the proposed new tariff, April 0, 1878, said
that the great falling off il the importation of
English manufactures was due largely to ''the
wonderful progress and improvements which
our own country has made in similar manu-
factures;" and he added the true remark that
''our manufacturers claim not only that their
machinery turns out larger product per ma
chine or per hand employed than Lancashire,
but that there is also very marked improve
ment in the quality and style of our products.
Upon the whole, therefore" he says, 'rt may
well be supposed that the time is not far dis
tant when We shall shut out British cotton
goods permanently from our markets." And
of foreign metals, iron, steel and manufac-
lures of tho same, he says: 'The consump-
ton has fallen from $57, ,OOO, 900 in 1878 to
$40, 900 in 1877" Now, 1t is logical
inference that if tho goods that were formerly
made in England for our consumption are now
made in the United States, the artisans, skill
ed mechanics and laborers required to be e,n-
ployed in the production of the same are
employed here and not in England. They
and their families must therefore he fed and
clothed here from the products Of our own
farms, dairies, and sheep raising districts, in
all of which the farmer is directly benefited.
Formerly, under free trade tariffs, ii required
the labor of 800, 900 to 100000 English arti-
sans, operatives and laborers to produce the
British goods annually consumed in this
country. Now these are employed n our
own factories, foundries and workshops; and
are fed from the products of our own farms.
II it costs 81, 900 to bull railroad locomotive
engine, small part of the expense is in the
raw msterial-steel, iron and brass. The main
cost is in labor, and half at least of the money
paid for that labor is invested in food for the
workmen and their families. SO also of the
manufacture Of clothing and all other goods.
The more manufactures We have the more
men are employed and paid, and just so much
