Mr.. MCPHERSON

said that there were but two methods OF
disposing of the surplus revenue. One
was the extravagant appropriations, and
another was by the reduction of the
taxation. For himself he was in favor ct
the second alternative.
The Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman)
had suggested in his speech the other day,
a policy by which S54. .000,0 90 Of revenue
could be avoided by striking oil the tax
on sugar; and in the same breath that Sen
ator declared that duties on sugar and on
wool were the only protection which the
agriculturiStS enjoyed. He (McPherson)
was opposed TO the removal of the duty on
sugar, and predicted that with that duty
retained) nine-tenths of the sugar con-
sumed in this country would be produced
here. He would also retain duty on the
high qualities of wool which are produced
i'm the United States, but he would re-
move il from the cheap qualities
of wool that are not raised here
and that are used in the manutac-
ture of carpets and cheap fabrics.
lie was protectiOniSt to the extent OF
giving to the labor Of this country all the
protection that it needed to compete with
foreign labor He was in favor OF higher
prices for American labor. God forbid
that he would ever consent to putting
American labor on par with the pauDer
labor of any country. But he was IN ia
vor of giving to labor the raw materials
that would enable it to compete with any
country.

EDITOR PULITZER, Of the New York
World, has recently endowed a bed in a
New York hospital for the benefit Of sick
and disabled journalists Of that city. There
are more better aware Of the ups and downs
Of newspaper life than the Worli's able
editor. In the light Of the recent falling
on Of the Ilorld'S sales, and In view Of a
probable boycott by its news agents, aud
with Mayor Grace's libel suit on hand, this
endowment is Indicative OF no little fore
sightand selfiutcrest on the part Of Joseph
For clad in his many-colored coat Of con-
gresham, editor, and proprietor, like his
namesake of yore, he may see famine in

Pulitzer may never be compelled to occupy
the cot which he so thoughtfully and gen
erUusly endowed.

Emigration the True Remedy for Dis
fIanchisement In the South.
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,; have
read with great interest your recent publi-
cations favoring the emigration Of free
citizens from states In the Union where the
sacred right of suffrage is denied to them
into states where real law and absolute
liberty prevail, Senator Sumner In 1856,
when Il senator from South Carolina had
declared that he would not recognize Kan
sas, which was then being filled up by
'emigration societies. rs even body pol
itic, said in reply: "Aye, sir; i tell the
senator that Kansas, admitted as q free
state into the Union, will be ministering
angel to the republic when South Carolina,
in the cloak Of darkness slavery which
she now hugs, lies bowling" Thirty years
have passed, and that splendid common
wealth which has risen in the wilderness
beyond the Mississippi has proven the
words Of Sumner TO be prophecy ful-
filled. And now, why In the name
Of reason and justice, which must
ultimately prevail the world over,
should not emigration societies be formed
to place hundreds Of yeomen and mechanics
upon lands in the healthy and naturally
rich states Of the south, where there Is no
bulldo2ing, and where welcome would bG
given, where the investment Of each 800, 900

SECRETARY ENDIcoTT has recently written
a caustic letter to Secretary Manning regard
ing the action Of the second comptroller in
adjusting the accounts Of the disbursing Off
GERS of the signal service, which he ought
to have known wSs wholly out Of place and
unnecessary. In the first place the account
ing officers of the Treasury Department are
not In any sense subordinate to the Secre-
tary. Even the President cannot control or
overrule their decisions. lie may remove
them for cause, but he has no control
whatever over their official action. 1t is
their duty to scrutInize claims upon the
treasury and to prevent unlawful and
irregular payments. Therrules, which have
long been in force, are in no case too
rigid or unreasonable. Parties holding legit-
innate claims against the government, that
are properly certified to, are sure Of having
them promptly paid, and fault-hnding let
tiers are wholly out Of place, as Mr. Endl-
colt will learn after while.
