There is much speculation as to what
Congress will do with the tariff question.
The proposition Of Senator Eaton of Con-
necticut, tosrefer the question to a com
mission of business men. for revision seems
to be favorably received. though its adop-
ton is stated to be questionable. 1t is
evident, however, that the subject viii
receive share of congressional attention
this winter, even if no definite action il
taken. Of course the east will combat the
Democratic plan of tariff for revenue only
especially New York, and Pennsylvania
this is to be expected. The west and
south, however, demands revision of the
tariff-they ask more--they want free
trade and will be satisfied with nothing
less. The Democratic party is pledged to
free trade and in advocating such tariff
reform, will;be endorsed by the'great west,
whose fast growing commercial interests
enforce respect, even from ring bound
eastern manufacturing cliques who con-
tend for a protective tariff not for the pro-
lection it affords manufacturing interests
in general, but for the protection it gives
to the strong corporations of the east. 1t
is only question of time when free trade
must become law. The vital interests of
the great mass of the people demand it
and their demand will be answered.

The extraordinary declaration for wife
to make, that she would never forsake her
husband for anyone else, was given by the
partner Of Hoosier who had heavy fist
and an uncomfortable way of using it in
the domestic circle. The promise was
made conditioned upon another from the
husband, who ina pious mood, subscribed
to the declaration That l will not give
my wife anymore trouble. .either by
cursing or scolding, and I promise to attend
church, Sunday school. prayer meeting
and temperance meeting. | also pledge
myself to kneel with her IN evening prayer,

Gen. John f. f arnsworth is talked q
the Democratic nominee for Governor.
We second the nomination and move Its
unanimous endorsement. A better selec-
tionscould not be made. Had General
Farnsworth been the nominee in 1876,
instead of Steward, Illinois would have
been carried by the Democracy and Sam
uel j. Tilden be the president to-day. If
Gen. Farnsworth is nominated for COVER
nor in 1880. he will be elected. He is one

Says The New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger: Tine Demo-
cratic managing politicians here (more
especially such of them as have heretofore
been liberal contributors to campaign
fundsl have forwarded an earnest appeal
to Mr.. Fernando Wood and the rest of the
city delegation to steer clear of financial
issues this session. The only eff set of
embarking in discussions of that character,
it is urged. will be to divide the party in
sections at time when unity and CONSOLE
daton are Indispensable to success In the
approaching presidential campaign. They
also intimate that the Republicans viii!
try and tempt the Democrats to financial
discussions in order to entrap them. Even
Senator Blyard's mild resolution against
legal tenders is written down as mistake.
The appeal is private" and, lest the
congressional delegation be disposed TO
look upon It as bit of impertinenee, the

Gveenbacks were one-eighth per cent
above par in New York on Saturday
This should explain why Mr.. Hayes and
John Sherman want their legal tender
status destroyed. So long as the green
backs are full legal tender. SO long will
they float at par with our other currency.
This is what'worries John Sherman and
explains why he seeks to destroy their
legal tender value. He is the accredited
agent of an immense national sbanking
interest whose existence as banks of issue
demands that greenbacks be degraded.
Sherman may try to..dodge it, since he has
dropped on the blunder he committed, but
he viii be measured at his true merit and
his real meaning be properly diagnosed by
the people.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-12-09

Now that be sees the mistake Secretary
Sherman is anxious to hedge on the legal
tender question-but the hedging comes
too late. There is no question but Hayes
and Sherman outlined the policy previous
iy agreed upon as the Republican financial
plank of 1880, and the attempt Of Mr.
Hayes and his secretary of the treasury to
smooth the rough edges of their dictum,
as mere suggestions comes rather late
too late to be believed. John Sherman
overreached when he intmated what the
Republican platform of 1880 would be,
and Hayes did even worse by proclaiming
more pointedIy the financial policy intend
ed to be pursued next year-but it wont
avail to deny the real purp0rt of their
suggestions. The people are not ell fools
and will measure Mr. Hayes and MIR.
Sherman's recommendations as to legal
tenders at their proper meaning and Judge
