There has been no threatened free
trade policy so far as the next Con-
gress is concerned. 1t is to be ex
pected that notifications of the tar
if will be made by the next Con-
gress, but it is a little too soon 10
be predicting exactly what the pol
icy of the Democratic majority will
be, either as to the tariff or to some
other important measures, except
that the extravagant expenditures
of the Republicans will certainly be
reduced, and unnecessary and bur
densome taxation be abolished.

Those manufacturers who claim
that they must close their works and
throw men out of employment be-
cause the Democrats have got into
power, r brewing a storm which
they will not be able to command.
>Laboring men are not fools, and they
know that such pretensions are false,
and if persisted in will produce a
condition of affairs not beneficial to
the interests of capitalists. Labor
ing men will not be slaves hereafter
when they perform the work for
their employers which they agreed
to do for stipulated wages, the obi
cation then ceases, and no employer
has a right to interfere in any de-
gree with the political franchises OF
his employees, and a man who at
tempts to do so by any means is a
tyrant in practice, an enemy to his
race, civil liberty and good govern
ment. Capital and Labor should
harmonize-the capitalist should not
act the tyrant, nor labor be unjust.
The commercial prosperity of this
country is involved in the relations
of capital and labor-neither should
seek to influence the politics of the
other-each should attend to its
legitimate pursuits and vote for the
best interests of the general public,
without being selfish or seeking ex-
elusive privileges to the injury OF
other interests.

List.
The Philadelphia Times says it is
well knownthat our present pension
list embraces a large number of pen
sioners who are annually defrauding
the government, and bringing dis
grace upon the honest soldier who
merits the recognition of the coun-
try. In nearly every community
there are cases of fraudulent pen
sioners who are known to their
neighbors, but there are many more
who studiously conceal their pen
sions from their communities. I'm
der the recent loose pension laws as
Stunning to provide for the equaliza-
ton of pensions, it is notorious that
the most fragrant frauds have been
perpetrated, and it is due alike to
the government, to the deserving
pensioners and to the thiering pre-
tenders, that the most vigorous meas
ures be taken to expose the various
forms of pension frauds.
It has been assumed Dy Congress
that the pension roll should not be
exposed to the public, because OF the
sensitiveness of many worthy pen
sioners about the exposure of their
names as beneficiaries of the govern
ment; but that is a false and absurd
sentimentality. General Beaver is
q pensioner, and who is not proud
Ito know that so heroic a soldier,
manned in the flame Of battle for his
country, will remain on the pension
roll for life? The honest soldier has
no reason to blush for the recogni-
tion given to him by the government
his courage preserved, and only those
who fear just criticism of their mer.
its as pensioners, can have reason to
desire the concealment of the pension
roll.
But, whether acceptable or objec
tionable to the pensioners of the gov
eminent, the known frauds upon the
Pension Department now impera
lively demand the widest publicity
of the pension roll and the most
searching inquiry into all doubtful
pensioners. If Congress would di
rect the careful publication of the
list by States and counties, giving
names in alphabetical order, wounds
or disabilities for which pensions ar,
granted, and furnish such lists TO
public record in the courts of ever,
county, it would lead to the detec
tion of many fraudulent pensioners
AS a rule, the local newspapers woul'
publish their pension lists, and thu
invite public scrutiny, and the posi-
tive movement of the government t
expose and punish this meanest G
frauds would inspire the public gen
orally to active cooperation in tn
work.
1t may be we'll worthy of consid
Grafton, also, whether the law shout
not offer a reward for the detectio
and conviction of fraudulent per
sioners. 1t is sucha dastardly Grim
that there should be no mercy fo
its perpetrators and every true sold

About the Tariff:
American Register.

The tariff question is q subject much
talked about, but little understood in
its details and actual operations by
the public generally. A revenue tar
iff, a protective tariff, and free trade
are matters fiippantly spoken of with
but little accuracy of comprehension
ofthe actual differences between them,
and their respective practical effects.
The tariff, as understood in this coun-
try, is a system of revenue for the
support of the General Government,
derived from duties or imposts on
foreign imports or goods of foreign
production. A tariff for REVENUE
ONLY is that system of custom duties
which excludes all Determinations as
to the amount of the duties imposed
upon the different articles of import,
except such as have exclusive refer
ence to the amount of revenue to be
raised. A protective tariff is a sys-
tenn of imposts levied on foreign.
goods, with a view of raising their
prices, and thereby preventing their
being sold lower than tire home pro-
ducts. A revenue-tarif with Incl
dental protection is that system of
customs which, while the
duties are imposed for the exclusive
suppose ofraising revenue to support
the Government, discriminates aud is
adjusted asto the amount imposed on
different articles with reference TO
equality of the public burdens and en-
couragement and protection ofarticles
of domestic production. Free trade
requires the abandonment of tariff
duties on foreign imports, and the
support of the General Government
bya system of direct taxation. These
brief definitions tend TO accuracy of
understanding Of the differences be-
tween these several forms of raising
revenue to support the General Gov
eminent.
The people of this country are OPP
posed to a system of direct taxation
for the support of the General Gov
eminent.
A tariff for revenue only, with in
cideEtal encouragement or protection
to home industry, is the evenu sys-
tenn for the support of the Federal
Government which the people of this
country are in favor of; that is, a rev.
enue tariff, levied and adjusted, in its
details, with strict reference to equal
ity in the public burdens, and the pro-
lection or encouragement of home
productive industry as far as practi-
cable, without creating monopolies
or affording 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 a proper selection
of the subjects of impost with a view
to revenue it would seem 10 me that
the spirit of equity, caution and COM
promise in which the Constitution
formed requires that the great inter-
ests of agriculture, commerce and
manufactures should be equally favor
ed, and that perhaps the only excep-
ton to this rule should consist in the
peculiar encouragement of any pro-
ducts, or either of them, that may be
found essential to our national indie
pendence."

Cathartic Pills

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately ad-
justed to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
OF years of careful study and practical ex-
pertinent, and are the most effectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement. of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and effectual
treatment. AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class of diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi-
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their. extensive use by
physicians in their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one Of the many
perfectly reliable purgative medicine:
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel or
istered to children with perfect safety.
AYERS PILLS are an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, .lndiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
Biliousness, Jaundice. Rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Collie,
Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and ali
other diseases resulting from a disordered
state of the digestive apparatus.
As a Dinner Pill they nave no equal.
While gentle in their action, these PILLS
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu-
operate TO purify and enrich the blood, and
impart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.
