The one man with whom the New York stall
warts feel sure of defeating Gov. Cornell for re-
nomination in that state is Secretary Folger, and
hence the pressure brought to bear upon him to
allow the use OF his name. The Secretary's
strength with the people, aside from his excellent
record in public ife lies in the fact that he has
not made himself ObnOxio us to either faction. If
IL were necessary to assign him to either division
ne would, probably, be credited to the stalwarts;
but II his sympathies are with that element he has
never permitted them TO lead him into offending
the other wing OF his party. IL is custom, sort
or unWritten political law in New York, TO accord
the governor second term il he desires 1t, and
this appeals to good many republicans in behalf
OF Gov. Cornell; but the powerful antagonism to
INN within the party may lead the convention to
conclude that expediency demands the setting
aside OF this custom IN the pending contest 1t is
whispered that Secretary Folger is rather averse
10 lending his name to the breaking down OF a Gus
tom which has 50 long prevailed but that If Cor
nell should be ruled off the track as not available
Then the Secretary might consent to accept the
nomination.

Forms Of Raising Revenue.

The form of raising revenue for the
support of the general government
must either be by u tariff upon for
eign imports, or by direct taxation.
Free trade involves the second
method, and although it has Il few
advocates, and is theoretically attrac,
tive 10 philosophical minds, it is new.
crthclcss opposed by the great body
of our people, rs an undesirable mode
Of supply ing the wants of the Treas.
ury. A protective tariff, and n rev.
enue tarifFare the only two practical
methods suggested.
A protective tariff Says the Wash.
ington Register is for the benefit of Il
few at the expense of the many. It
creates mOnopolies and inequalities
in the public burdens, and enriches
the few at the expense Of the many
makes the rich richer and the poor
poorer. No wise statesman would
advocate such a system.
A tariff for revenue only, with in.
cidental encouragement or protection
to home industry, is the revenue sys,
TEN for the support of the Federal
Government which the people of this
country are in favor of; that is, rev.
enue tariff, levied and adjusted, in
Its details, with strict reference to
equality in public burdens, and the
protection or encouragement of home
productive industry rs far as pructi-
cable, without creating monopolies
or atfording unjust advantages to one
part OF the people at the expense Of
the other.
On this subject General Jackson, in
his first inaugural address, said:
with regard to proper selection
of the subjects of impost with view
to revenue, it would seem TO me, that
the spirit of equity caution and com.
promise, in which the Constitution
was formed, requires that the great
interests of agriculture, commerce
and manufactures, should be equally
favored, and that perhaps the only
exception to this rule should consist
in the peculiar encouragement of any
products or either Of them that may
be found essential to our national in.

His appointment to the Supreme

How Protection Works.

The Pittsburg Post says "The cop
per monopoly of Michigan makes u
net profit on the business four times
the amount,of the working capital.
They have In four counties 81 ,022,.
600 invested, and the net profits are
s4,303,7S3. The mines produce an.
nually nearly as much copper as the
continent Of Europe and Great Brit
ain combined. Yet these monopolies
have secured a tariff which prevents
all foreign competition, only. one
pound of crude copper having bsen
imported into the country in 1875
Monopolists fix their own price on
their own products, fleece the Amer
lean manufacturers who Use copper,
and ship tons Of it to Europe aud
sell it at prices far below that they
demand ut home"
Protection may be good thing for
the capitalists who own these mines,
but in what way laboring men are
benefited by it is difficult to COM
prehend, while the Government is
thereby defrauded Of the revenue it
is entitled to from this source.

The action Of the President created
quite a sensation in Washington po-
litical circles. Some of these remov-
ais have long been demanded by the
press and by public sentiment, and
it is only too evident from the tardi-
ness Of executive action that the
President did not remove them until
he was compelled by public senti-
ment to do SO. Yet it is better late
than never, only the administrative
knife will have TO go far deeper if
the President really intends, AT least
SO far as he is concerned, that there
shall be no future failures in the star
route trials II is well understood
that this plundering gang has its
sympathizers in every department Of
the government service, even 10 the
Department Of Justice. 1t is said
that the detective force employed by
the Government to expose their
crimes was actually in league with
them and the officers of the Court in
which their recent farcical trial was
had, gave them active assistance. If
these remaining supporters and
agents of the rich and powerful star

Corruption.
The news from Washington dis
closes bad condition Of affairs at the
Capitol, and which is truly startling.
As will be seen from an article pub
lishcd in another part of this paper,
five prominent officials have been re.
moved from Office by the President,
on charges preferred by the Attorney.
General of their aiding to obstruct
the course Of justice in the star
route cases. The event has caused
the greatest excitement throughout
the country, and people are begin
ming to rejoice that the recent cleo
tions give evidence that we are soon
to be rid Of the party that has so
long corruptly controlled and man.
aged the government, and that has
protected robbers, plundcrcrS and
thieves alike.
The belief is general that there are
many more officials in and around
Washington in league with these
star route thieves-that they are
banded together for offence aud de-
fence, and have the power to defeat
the ends Of justice, and secure posi-
tions in the public service for their
associates in crime, as the recent dc.
velopmentsfully indicate. The shame
Of the leading republicans through,
out the Union is great, and they arc
amazed at this recent exposure, and
ask where will it end?
The President seems to be in earn
est. AT least we are willing to give
him credit for being in earnest, and
our hope is strong that he will root
out all the thieves and their allies,
that abound about Washington, even
if it makes IT necessary to remove
every official now in office. He is
doing now what he should have done
months ago. Yet it is not too late
for the good of the Nation, but is too
late to save the Republican party.
