Mr. Morrison. of Illinois, writes:
1.-The Republican party is credited with sue
cessful war and its results.
1T may obtain or keep power and not mer-
it it, but the Democratic party must deserve
to be before it will be successful.
1T is still true that, as between political
parties. what the laws shall I've and how exc
cuted is more important to the people than
who shall make or execute them.
THE Democratic pa!ty will not get control
of the government by the use of even more
money than the Republicans use in elections,
for any party that buys power viii sell it.
1.-The party which uses money to get
offices will use the offices to get the money
back and succeed.
1.-The Democratic party must be better than
the Republican party.
THE political power is still left with the
people. and its exercise is safest when nearest
to them.
.sThe government should interfere witt
them as little as possible, and not at all in
those things which they can better do for
themselves without such Interference.
without some yet undiscovered economic
mystery through which government adds to
the abundance of the people by retaining part
of what is first taken from them, they will
not be made more prosperous by its interfer-
ence with their business pursuits or greater
use of the taxing power than it,; actual needs
demand,
such interference always leads to legisla-
ton. benefits of which the fortunate owners
of associate and corporate wealth get more
and the great mass of men less than belongs
TO them
4sTba danger is great that money obtained
bv legislation will be used to procure legisla-
ton, .
a0r'hIs will be avoided il we limit taxes laid
on the people to actual needs of the govern
menu economically administered
Taxes, of whatever character, ought TO
be laid highest and SO as to take most froIn
those things which people can best do with
out, but no higher rates should be iald than
will raise the required SUM
a higher rate is destructive OF industry
and prosperity, though abundant cheap lands
and resources may put off the evil day.
THE annual report of the American Iron
and Steel association May l, 1855, tells the
country that last year there was a disagree
ment as To rates of wages between nlanuIac-
turers and laborers, Tie result Oh when was
that nearly all iron mills closed ana IAe
Iailoraf>s were unemployed for months; that
there were more mills than would make all
the iron the country could use; that, there
fore stopping the mills and the men remain
ing idle was by no means a caaisahhet W on0

''The calamity then fell ON the laborlnG
men, and this is the effect of the present sy'
tenn in iron and all other overprotected ihduS
tries.
I'm these industries thousands OF InliilonS
are invested; millions of men are employed,
and earn about one dollar day when bhey
work under the present system
1.-The calamity of four months enforced
idleness in a single year falls wholly upon
laboring men; none of it ON the manufacture

Ihere IS such a division of opinion anon:
democrats as requires liberation ON the tariff
question, but those unwilling TO reneaI wal
rates which We're added to protective tariff
are entitled to leniency
Those who advocate incidental protection
some protection, or any qualified protection
probably mean no more than is meant by j
tariff only for revenue, for a tariff laid fol

our own manufacturers
The division is perhaps more of policy
than of creed
There are Democrats who are profcssedly
revenue tariff men, but who insist, as a mat
ter OF policy, that we shall not say So
The only purpose OF silence would be to
hide our real purposes, and there is great
danger that the people would believe we
We're thus practicing deceit to obtain power,
and that any party that would mislead them

CHICAGO, May 29.-Rodiger & Co.'S mar
ket letter of this evening says: The market
for wheat has been irregular and somewhat
feverish to-day, with a dropping tendency
July opened at 1.1Ga4 against S1.171s, the
closing price of yesterday, declined to
81 49,, rallied to $1.17, declined to
81 TO- rallied again to $1.1618, and
then sold off to Sf.154, clos
ing this afternoon at S1.1519. Some
of our leading bull houses have
been free sellers and we suspect that
the public is carrying once more what was
concentrated i'll few hands week ago.
The sudden jerks of last Thursday, Friday
and of yesterday we fear have been
too much for tina market and a
good cleaning out would place it once
more on more healthy basis.
Corn has been dull and steady meeting with
nn,,ch resistance at 81 for July but refusing to
advance Receipts very liberal, having
been over 700 ears to-day, which IS not
surprising however, IN view OF The
approach of the end of the month.
Provisions were very strong, advancing
about l5c for pork and re for lard 1t is
very probable that what pork and lard had
been forced out of outsiders hands during
the recent decline is now being concentrated
again in the hands OF few leading houses.
