The President and the Tariff Bill.

The President and the Tariff Bill.
1t Is stated that all the Republican
Senators, except three, have expressed a
determination not to consent to the con-
sideration of any tariff measure at this
session. If this statement is true there is
noimmediate prospecto of any tariff legisla-
ton. but it is not certain that it is true.
Inc protectionists are so anxious to pre-
vent the passage OF a tariff bill that there
need be no surprise that there are all
sorts Of rumors in circulation hostile to
the tariff bill. The Republican Senators
VIII hardly be able to express an opinion
as to the course they will pursue with re-
spect to the bill, until it is
presented to them. 1t may be such
bill as they will be willing to pass with
slight notifications. the Democratic
House, however, has nothing to do with
the course which the Republican Senate
will PROBABLY pursue with respect to
tariff measure. Its duty is 10 keep the
pledges the Democratic party made to
the people in its national platform. The
people are expecting a reduction in tariff
taxation, and the House will disappolnt
them If it fails to meet this expectation.
A story, doubtless without foundation,
has been started by the protection news
papers that the President is using the
patronage to drive the protection Demo
Gratis to support the tariff bill, and the
leading protection paper of Pennsylvania
says that il Mr.. Randall supports the bill
it will be good evidence that he has been
bought with patronage.
The people who can be made to believe
that the President has undertaken to
bride Democrats to do their duty have
very little respect for him. AS for Mr..
Randall, although he, doubtless, likes to
get Offices for his friends and supporters,
there IS no probability that he
will risk losing his we'll
earned reputation by supporting
a measure which does not meet with his
approval. He has never yet been accused
OF being dishonest man, and it is too
late in life now for him to begin a career
of dishonesty.
The Presidents views have undergone
very great change, if he is promising
Congressman patronage In exchange for
their assistance in connection with the
tariff bill. 1t seems rather peculiar that
some of the Democratic journals should
be complaining of the Presidents failure
to remove Republicans fast enough, while
Republican journals are asserting that
he has agreed to barter away the offices
for few votes on the tariff bill. There
is no danger of making a mistake in
dpnvfnO that the Prpaident is hartArinC
away the offices for the purpose stated or
any other purpose. He thinks as much
of civil service reform as he does of tariff
reform. and he is not likely to injure one
to assist the other.

Foreign and Home Markets.

A famous boot and shoe manufacturer
of Massa chusetts produces annually2, 25O,-
600 pairs of shoes, principally of the
cheaper grades, for wOrkingmen, and he
claims that his low-priced goods have no
equal in the worlds market. The shoes
OF this manufacturer have very large
sale in paris of Europe and the West In
dies, and it is claimed that they take the
lead in quality as we'll as price.
Now, il is well known that aside from
the quality and price Of goods there are
certain disadvantages which Americans
are under IN foreign markets, the chief OF
which is that there are natural channels
of trade aud finance which cause the cur
rent to flow contrary TO American inter-
ests. Notwithstanding this, however,
there are number OF American manu-
features which find a large sale in
foreign countries. From this it
would seem that these manufac-
lures have nothing to fear here
from competition from abroad, and that
hence. so far as their interests are con-
cerned, Obr high tariff is entirely useless.
They argue, however, that there are
two reasons why they need protection.
First, they say they have the markets Of
the world so far as foreign tariffs permit,
but that should we take of or materially
reduce the tariff on such goods as they
manufacture, there is no assurance that
other countries would not do likewise, and
they claim that it would not enlarge the
worlds markets so far as their goods are
concerned. second, they claim that it
would lay their home market open to the
inferior goods Of England and Germany,
and they say with a show of patriotic
fervor: at would, moreover, give those
who are part aud parcel of another gov
eminent. another national organism, the
same privileges that are enjoyed by those
VINO belong TO the organism known as the
United States. aud VINO, as such, are con-
stantly making sacrifices 10 sustain it,
These reasons, no doubt, sound very
specious to the proteclionists. Being al
ready convinced by the overwhelming
force OF self interest, they are not verv
critical Of protection logic. From a con-
sumer's standpoint these reasons appear
/ 20 be mere pretexts. II these manutac-
lures can now compete on foreign soil
/ with foreign goods, IN prices as well az
/ quality, and that, too, under disadyan-
| tages, there seems to be no reason or jus
/ tice in taxing American consumers TO
keep down competition with foreign goods
here, where the natural advantages are
all with home manufacturers. Ira Massa-
chusetts firm can afford TO sell shoe in
Europe or the West Indies for 81 %, IL is
a great outrage to give II the power to
charge 81 % for the same shoe here. OF
course this makes the home market soft
snap for the patriotic manufacturer. but
it makes it a rather hard bargain for the
patriotic buyer. There is good deal OF
difference 10 this kind Of patriotism as one
gets big pay for IL, or has to pay big
price for the privilege OF enjoying it.

SHILOH, APRIL s, 1862.


Out in the rain where the hllocks rise,
Under the weeping April skies
Each with the turf DER his clay cold brow,
In deaths stern halt they are resting now.
How they fOughtor how they fell,
The secret never a tongue may tell;
Only this we gently say
Charity coVereth Blue and Gray.
Out in she rain, but they never heed
Blast of bugle or neigh of steed;
Clash OF sabres or flash of gun:
Squadron charging or battle won;
God knoweth best how their lives went out,
God knOweth best their faith or doubt,
only his we gently say
Charity covereth Blue and Gray.
Out in the rain, and side by side,
They lie at rest on the field where they died,
There they slumber, and peace at last
Comes when the day Of b God is past.
C-nsure we not for love is strong,
And impulse often may lead to wrong;
For only He " no formed he heart
KnOweth how each fulhlleI his part;
Rather let us gently say
Charity coYereth Blue and Gray.
Out in the summer and winter rain,
Deaf To glory and dumb TO pain,
EvermOre lying with lowly head,
Each in a soldiers laurel'd bed,
l. vingly strew we roses there
Hopefully breathe we there a prayer;
neither they fought meath the Stripes and
Whether they fought meath the stars and
Bars.
Ask we nOt-but gently say
Charity coyereth Biue and GRAY.

Two or three well-known politicians and
Congressman were discussing the proposition
to hold open executive sessions of the United
5 ates Senate.
gresham, the drOll story of the United States
senator to whom a newspaper man refused to
reveal the secrets OF an executive ses ion?
The incident took place several years ago,
and all Washington rOared over it az the
time. 1t happened this way: One afternoon
matters of great interest, including some I'M
pOrtant appointments, were cousi cred IN ex-
ecutlve sess on in the absence OF a senator
VINO had counted upon beng present but was
detained at his hotel by sudden lness. The
same hotel was the headquarters of one Of the
most enterprisIDg OF the Washington corr
spOndents If those days. The absent Senator
knew what time the session was 10 be held.
and, or course, Wa@ anxious to learn as soon
as possible what had been done at il. Ac-
cordingly he rang for waiter ana sent word
to the Office that as soon as this cores pOndent
appeared he was to be informed that Senator
-, who was confined to his room, would like
o see him immt diately for a few minutes
Well, about OCH ok the correspondent
reached the hotel, and before he could enter
the dining room the Senator's message was
given HIM, aud he went up to his room.
"'ENcuse me for troubling you" the Sena-
tor begau, as soon as the scribe was seated;
'but was too i'll to go down, and | wanted to
ask you about the executive session of to-day.
You know all that was done, Of course
SO, yes answered the espOndent.
"'Wel. Pll take it as favor, if you will
relate to me all that you have heard about it, ,
said the Senator.

Silver i'm the Senate.

There appears to be an impression that
the Senate will take vote on the silver
question during the present session, but
it is by no means certain in what shape
the question will present itself. 1t is not
probable that either a proposition to in
crease or proposition to stop the coinage
OF silver will be voted on, because it is
pretty certain that neither would receive
a majority.
There are several bills pending in the
Senate relative to silver coinage, two of
which have attracted a good deal of at
tentiOn. Senator Sherman is the author
of one OF them and Senator Allison the
other. Both bills are an attempt TO give
satisfaction to both the advocates and
opponents of the Continued coinage of
silver. AS far as it is possible to judge
they are Impracticable measures, and
would not permanently avoid the dangers
which are apprehended from the present
rate of coinage.
1t is pretty certain that the proportion
of the Senate is much larger than the
proportion OF the House in favor of
stopping the coinage of the silver dollar,
for a time at least, and an expression of
the Senate on the silver question, even
though it was slightly in favor of con-
tinued coinage would, no doubt, have a
beneficial effect in keeping up confidence
iii the silver dollar. It's important that
the silver dollar shall be kent at par until
the country can have an opportunity to
express an opinion in regard to it in the
election of the next Congress.

A Strong Temperance Argument.

Senator Spooner, the eloquent young
Wisconsin Senator, who made a reputa-
tion in the Senate for oratory in the de-
livery of a eulogy on the late Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks, is teetotaler, but he does
not make a parade of his temperance
principles. 1t is noticed that he does not
drink Intoxicating liquors of any kind.
and when he is asked the reason he does
not hesitate 10 give it. He says: ~ have
three boys l love. They have never
smelled liquor in my breath and they
never shall" The reason why he avoids
strong drink is very satisfactory one.
There is not one man in a thousand who
will not admit it's force, although not
more than one in thousand may be
guided by il.
man who is what is called only a
moderate drInker is not in as good posi-
ton to reprove his son, who is something
more than a moderate drlnker, as is the
man whose children never smelled liquor
in his breath. Senator Spooner is in a
fair way to become as well known through
this little temperance argument as
through his Hendricks eulogy.
