destroying our mercantile marine, and by

which means less men employed and high
prices.
How prophetic seems the following words
Of General Jackson's farewell address: ''rhe
various interests which nave combined to-
gether to impose A heavy tariff and to pro-
duce an oyerfowing treasury are too strong
and have too much at stake to surrender the
contest" The corporations and wealthy
individuals who are engaged in large manu-
featuring establishments desire a high tariff
to increase their gains. Designing politicians
will support it to eonciliate their favor and
to obtain the means of profuse expenditure
for the purpose of purchasing influence in
other quarters. JAMES FLEMING.

CHEESE AND BUTTER.

To The Editor of the Pioneer.
DEAR SIR, II have often thought
that We farmers should unite and hold
out some i~nducement to any party or
parties to build a cheese or butter
factory in the town of Bottineau,
which would have the effect of en-.
couraging mixed farming-the only
safe method that can be pursued if
we expect success to crown W efforts.
Then there would be an interest in
keeping good mich lows and feeding
them properly the year round, as
the article produced would be first
class and could be shipped to any
market and would realize the highest
market price, returning affair margin
of profit to both manufacturer and
patrons. I am willing to cooperate
with any one in an effort to obtain
this much desired object. Could we
not guarantee the milk of three hum
dred COWS? Who shall we hear from
next? Yours,
WEI. STEWART.

WHAT MONOPOLY HAS DONE.

From 1914 till 1867 the United states in
creased their foreign tonnage three hundred
per cent, while Great Britain increased hels
in tue same time but fifty per cent. At that
time (1s57) there were 2,lss %shipyards in
the United States. employing u 1886 men,
and $36, 800,377 the value of American
clippers that were produced annually. So
astonishing was the progress, hat British
merchants got alarmed at seeing tho sceptre
Of the seas passing to us. In the London
lEng) Times of May, 1857, appeared an
article on this great industry, in which,
after statinathe rapid progress of American
shipping, and how they would soon drive
British ships to the wall, it closed the
article as follows: "Her starred flag is now
conspicuous on every sea and will soon defy
our thunder" Was this not enough to swell
the heart of every patriot, at our young
country's great triumph in peaceful rivalry
with the wooden walls of odd England?'
But alas ! what is the condition of this
industry now? There is in the United
States twelve %shipyards building iron ships,
and one hundred and s~evsnty-thrse yards
turning out wooden ships, aud of these latter,
IS are building shipping for the lakes. A
great industry, (the nursery of seamen who
were able to meet and conquer the gallant
British tars), in ruins, and . deputation

RICHARD II. SYLVESTER. ..... Editor
WASHINGTON, AUGUST %, 1855.

THE REJECTION Of the Fisheries treaty
by the Senate came about Just as was
expected and had been politically or
dainod. Had it been the best treaty
ever made it would have experienced
the same fate, for the simple reason that
a Republican Senate could not afford to
give a Democratic Administration the
credit Of it on the eve of Presidential
election. The merits and dement's of
the negotiation are entirely lost sight of
in the smoke of the campaign. The
eXigencies of politics demanded
that the treaty be rejected and so rejec-
ton was voted. 1t was this fore
knowledge of the result that took the
edge off the debate and diminished the
public interest that would otherwise
have been felt in matter of so much
real importance to the interests Of three
governments. AS it is the situation re-
mains practically unchanged, excepting
that under the temporary stipulations
agreed upon there is no immediate
danger of disturbance TO the parties in
interest. The work that has been done
counts for nothing, excepting as we be
lieve it to have been an honest effort on
the part of the Administration to perma-
nently settle existing differences.
The Washington critic., 1888-08-22

THE International American Con-
ference, for which Congress has made
an appropriation of $4,000, has been
called to meet in Washington, October
2, 1880, and delegates will be present
from the sixteen North and South
American Governments. The United
States is entitled to ten delegates-at-
large, to be appointed by the President,
and each State may send as large a dele
cation as it desires, though limited to
one vote in the conference.
The objects of this important convoca-
tion need not be recited in detail. In a
general sense the purpose is to institute
better commercial relations between the
several countries interested inclusive OF
an American Customs Union, the adop-
ton of uniform system of weights,
measures, patent rights, trademarks
and common silver coin, the estab-
lishment of better maritime communica-
tions and the formation of some inter.
national system of arbitration.
The ground to be covered is broad
and comprehensive. 1t suggests CONT
mental possibilities that as yet are
scarcely dreamed of in Europe and that
are destined to make the New World
the leading hemisphere in the arts Of
peace, as well as the resources ol
strength, if not the arbiter of the
worlds destinies.

REMOVALS. FROM OFFICE.
How John Quincy Adams Got His Civil
Service Reform Reputation.


Service Reform Reputation.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer propounds the following in
quiry:
"There is big dispute among lot of
your readers here, which maybe you
can settle. Was there ever United
States President who refused all his term
to remove office holders who were po-
litically opposed to himY'
To which the Enquirer responds in
this wise:
1T is not probable that Washington,
during his first term, made any removals
for party reasons. Perhaps the fact that
no opposition party had been organized
may excuse him.
"But what the indianapolis disputers
evidently have in mind is the case of the
younger Adams-John Quincy. Long
after his Presidency lin 1856 when he
had returned to the lower branch of
Congress, Mr.. Adams declared in q
speech to the House that he had never,
while President, removed one person
from Office for political causes, and very
pertinently added that that was probably
the reason why he was not reelected. In
this connection Binns, the Irish refugee,
who was so long the brilliant editor of the
Philadelphia Democratic Press, tells a
story. Binns was originally n supporter of
Crawford, hut when the latter was driven from
the field, the erratic Irishman was foolish
enough to go to Adams instead Of to Jackson
Shortly after the Inauguration he approached
the President in the matter of appointments,
and here is his plaintive description of the re-
suit: 81 was promptly told that Mr. President
| Adams did not intend to make any removals.
| bowed respectfully, assuring the President
| that / had no doubt the consequence would be
| that he would himself be removed so soon MS
the term for which he had been elected had
expired. The intimation gave the President
no concern, and assuredly did in no wise af-
| feet his previous determination.
The Adams family have always claimed
| glory for this record as the acme of civil ser
| vice reform. AS matter of fact it was the
acme of political bargain and sale. The cleo
| ton of 1924 resulted in no choice, and the
| House Of Representatives was called upon to
make President. jackson had led largely
in the Electoral College, and much more
largely before the people; but by assurances
| to Clay that he should be Secretary of State,
aud assurances to Webster that the Federal
ofllce-holders should not be removed, Adams
secured the coveted prize. The country never
| forgaye him. lie could no more have been
reelected in 1928 than Rutherford b. Hayes
could have been elected in 1880; and similar
disrepute attached to him throughout his life,
and TO his memory to this day. Moreover,
both Clay and Webster were ruined in the
| same deal.
In 1928 jackson was overwhelmingly elected
| Adams did not carry a single State south OF
the Potomac or west of the Alleghanies.
