on glass is Ubiquitous, for glass is already
made so cheap in America that large quanti-
ties of it are exported; indeed, America ex-
ports far more glass than she imports" Pro-
lection has evidently done some good here, as
the Journal has repeatedly maintained. By
placing the manufacture of glass on its feet
in America it is now made so cheaply that,
as Mr.. Hollweg observes, large quantities of it
are exported. 1t is possible that the tariff on
certain grades of glass is too high, and might
safely be reduced A reasonable reduction of
the tariff is in line with Republican senti-
ment, and the only effort in this direction has
been made by the Republican party.

WHILE our Northern Democrats are boast
ing of solid South and preparing to reap the
fruits of it, there are men in the South wise
enough already to foresee the consequences
The Richmond Wing of a late date speaks of
the mischievousness of it. But this word of
caution will be UNDECIDED. The men who use
shotguns alike upon white and colored do not
read papers or stop to think of results. There
were wise men twenty three years ago who
sought to hold that element in check but
they utterly failed. Twenty-three years
hence other men will bemoan the follyof the
hot-heads of to-day, when additional sufferings
shall have followed their madness A solid
South is at present a foregone conclusion. 1t
only behooves the wiser and ealmer North to
see that these mad-caps are not made the com
'manders -in-ehief of our army and navy
through President in sympathy with them.
What the Wing says is as follows: u
9c.1 1T is a poor defense of the solid South
that it is so solid to confront a solid North
Better would it have been for us twenty three
years ago If there had been no solid South
In that event there would have been no solid
North and no war, coupled with complete
Southern subjugation. And now, after our
solidity has resulted in war and subiugation,
to continue this sullen solidity is to invoke
adverse passions and prejudices at the North
to repel the very sentiments and impulses of
friendship and favor that we chiefly need
upon the absurd plea that our solidity is neces-
sary to defend us from the consequences of
that solidity
1.-THE very cause of our greatest troubles is
urged as our remedy for them. Not only is
this ridiculous and silly in the extreme, but
experience has taught us (when wo were
stronger and the North weaker) that Southern
solidity has been mistake a delusion and a
snare, both in peace and in war We cannot
afford to be solid if we really agree in princi-
pie and policy upon all public issues, but to
insist that we shall not divide-that we shall
still remain solid-when we differ among our
selves upon the gravest questions of public
interest, is the part of folly gone mad. The
North has nothing to lose by solidity and
everything to gain, for its solid strength is ir-
resistible The South, on the contrary, has
everything to lose and nothing to gain by a
solidity, which, at best, is comparative impo-
tence, and which, inevitably, raises up against
it a Northern solidity which is sure 70 over

States, so that in case of refusal or neglect,
there may be no undue pressure brought to

propriety of all this is unquestioned now, and
there be none to say it nay. But if this good
law is to be stretched so as to decitizenize
every man who becomes an official or employee

vulsion of feeling against it in the minds of

that the last state of the political

statute was directed. Other men, in other
service, are called upon by circular or by per-
fund of their respective parties, and men in
official employment must be permitted to stand
upon perfect equality in that regard. If
they want to contribute to party funds they
must be at liberty to do so, and if they do not
want to do so they must be at the same liberty
to refuse. All that may be gained toward
