1t is not our custom to commend

1t is not our custom to commend
any thing relating to politics found
in the Platteyille Witness; but a
communication contained in its last
issue and signed &C. B." pleases us
exceedingly. 1t is an expression OF
contempt for the tariff legislation Of
the forty-seventh congress. The fol-
lowing sentence which we quote
from the article explains the writer's
position: eve have always been
an advocate of certain amount
and kind of protection to industry,
but the action of congress for the
past three months, and the spirit
exhibited in relation to it has driven
us nearer to free trade than we ever
were before"
&C. B. is not the only mistaken
but honest free trader who has been
driven nearly to free, trade by the
grasping avarice of the protected in
terests exhibited during the last ses-
sion of congress. The people are
beginning to see the tariff question
in light which they never saw it
before. Before the present discus
sion is ended all the iniquities OF
the spoliation system which goes by
the name of protection will be held
up to their view, and then they will
reject it's fallacies for the true doc
trine of commercial freedom.

The Next L. s. Senate.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

II. faul floneeE Iress.
With the election of a United
States senator from New Hampshire
in June the last of the class whose
term began on the Fourth of March
will have been chosen. In the cleo.
tons that have taken place the
Republicans have gained seats in
Illinois, where Judge Davis gives
way to Shelby M. Cullom, and in
Oregon where Senator Grover was
beaten by Joseph N. Dolph. A
Republican loss occurs in Louisiana,
where Kellogg is succeeded by RAN
dali Gibson. The Democrats lose
in Virginia, where Riddleberger,
the Readjuster, takes Johnston's
seat. Their gain in Louisiana is
offset by their loss in Oregon, so
that they really suffer net loss of one
seat, while the Republicans enjoy
a net gain of one. The independent
party hereafter is changed from
David Davis and Malone to Malone
and Riddleberger. This will distri-
dute the present senate as follows:
republicans, hirty-eight; demo-
Gratis, thirty-slx; independents, two.
OF the twenty Five senators just
elected, fourteen were reelected, ten
of them being democrats and four
republicans. OF the twelve new
senators, FIVE, Cullom of Illinois,
and Wilson of Iowa, republicans,
and Colquitt of Georgia, Gibson Of
Louisiana, and kenna of West
Virginia, democrats, have been
members of the lower house. Seven
are new men, that is they have had
no experience in congress. All OF
them are wealthy men. Three Of
them, Bowen of Colorado. Palmer
of Michigan, and Sabin of Minnesots
are millionaires. Dolph of Oregon
is associated with Henry Willard
in his railroad and steamboat enter
prises. Riddleberger is Mahone's
| lieutenant in several important land
and mining schemes. Manderson
of Nebraska seems to enjoy exemp-
ton from the charge of being
either a millionaire or schemer.

Mr.. Hinton ought to contain him
self, and not let his angry passions
rise because the young men who go
through the State University are
freed from the muddling fallacy of
protection. The irresistible conflict
between free traders and the advo-
Gates of the spoliation system is
upon us, and the discussion which
it will call out will lead the whole

was unable to put up the amount Of
money demanded by the central
committee, and the nomination
given to man who could pay his
assessment.
