SOME business has been done in con-
gress the past week. The senate has
passed the bill to provide for the COM
pulsory education of Indians and dis
cussed the dependent pension bill. The
house, after warm debate, passed a
bill authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to purchase bonds with the
surplus revenue; it has also passed the
Pacific railway telegraph bill. Another
constitutional amendment is reported
changing the time for beginning the
presidential term and the date for the
meeting of congress. The majority of
the committee on territories proposes
the admission of Dakota, Montana,
Washington and New Mexico as states
after the presidential election. The
fractional currency bill will be reported
favorably, providing for an issue of the
denominations of ten, fifteen, twenty
five and fifty cents. The indications
are that the fishery treaty will go over
to the next session.

Some Eminent PrOtectiOnists.

One cause of the revolutionary war
was practically the attempt of Great
Britain to compel us to import her
goods rather than to manufacture our
own. From 1888 to 1889 this country
" enjoyed the blessings of entire free
trade" "The result was" says a his
torian on the Finances of the United
States" that Great Britain filed
every section of our country with her
manufactures of wool, cotton, linen,
leather, iron, glass and all other articles
used here, and in four years she swept
from the country every dollar and
every piece of gold" This led to the
establishment of the protective tariff
system in the United States. In the
first congress after the adoption of the
Constitution the matter was debated
and the second law President Washing
ton signed was tariff bill. Thus
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-03-07

to say that the losses that fell upon the
South were the inevitable result of
failure in a reasonable attempt to
break up the Union. Every man
who carried confederate musket or
bought a confederate bond knew the
risk he was taking. When the South
became again part of the Union, and
took its place once more under the
flag, it became responsible for some
share of the cost of defending it,"
Nevertheless, the speeches of Senators
Vest and Blackburn show that the
southern bourbons will persist in occu-
plying their illogical and untenable
ground on that question, in the hope
that sometime they may succeed in
evading their share of public duty.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-03-07

from the foundation of the government
our existing system of protection of
American labor and American in
dustries has been consistently main
tanned, except for a period of few
years, when what is known as the
compromise tariff " was in force, and
it has had the support of many of the
greatest and most revered names in the
history of our country. Here are some
opinions worth considering. George
Washington said:
The safety and interest of the people re-
quire that they should promote such manu-
features as tend to render them independent
of others for essential, particularly for mill
tary, supplies.
BENJAMIN Franklin wrote:
1t seems the interest of all our farmers
and owners of land to encourage our young
manufactures in preference to foreign ones.
Alexander Hamilton said:
The independence and security of a coun-
try appear to be materially connected with
the prosperity Of manufactures.
Henry Clay said:
The home market is first in order and
paramount in importance.
Andrew Jackson, who was a demo-
crat, said:
We should become a little more Ameri-
nd mi cd # tho
and laborers of England, feed our own.
Abraham Lincoln said:
am in favor of the internal improvement
system and nigh protective tarG.
General Grant said his platform was
Encouragement to home products, en-
ployment of labor at living wages and de-
velopment of home resources.
Daniel Webster said:
The protection Of American, as against
foreign labor, ought never to be surrendered
or compromised in any degree.
Let us see how the sentiments of these
great men on this question have been
justified by results: In this country
twenty-three per cent of all that is
earned goes to capital, five per cent to
government and seventy-t,co per cent to
labor. Mark the contrast. In free
trade England thirty-six per cent goes
to capital, twenty-three per cent to
government, while the working-people
only get forty-one per cent? Facts
must outweigh theories in the practical
experience of nations.

The South and Pensions.

In the debate in the United States
senate last week on the dependent
pension bill, Mr.. Vest of Missouri and
Mr.. Blackburn of Kentucky distin-
guished themselves by furious assaults
upon the pension system and the Grand
Army of the Republic. This is pre-
cisely what we have been expecting
for some time, and if the democrats are
successful in the next presidential cleo
ton we shall hear good deal more of
it. The ex-confederates have made
good progress thus far during Cleve-
lands administration in multiplying the
results of the war for the Union and
in Sinking responsibility for their
reasonable actions. They are now
getting ready to repudiate their share
of the pension burden imposed upon
the nation by their own folly in waging
an unjust war for the perpetuation of
human slavery. Not long ago Gen
eral Bradley II. Johnson, representa-
tive southerner, in a letter to a Balti-
more paper, complained that the pay
ment of pensions to Union soldiers is
an injustice to the South. On the as
sumption that her population is about
one-third of that of the Union he es-
Inmates that the South is paying $685.
100000 a year for pensions to her
conquerors. This assumption is false,
for the reason that the South pays
nowhere near one-third of our reve-
nues. But taking it for granted that
his estimate is correct, General John
son goes on to say that it represents, at
three per cent interest, capitalization
of 1888 900, 900, which is in effect " the
indemnity for the civil war actually
levied on the Southern States 30 a
heavier war tribute" he adds, I" than
that levied on France by Germany. :"
He pretends that he does not oppose
pensions to Union soldiers, but insists
that the pensions should be paid by the
sections that receive them. In the
first place it is not probable that, with
her present contributions to the federal
revenues, the South pays more than
one-seventh of the pensions, and the
fact has been noted that last year about
81 100000 were paid in pensions to
Union soldiers residing in the Southern
States. To raise the plea of injustice
in this case is absurd on the face of it.
The fallacy of General Johnson's ar
gument is disposed of by the Tribune
as follows: "He talks of the war as
if it had been a conflict between two
equal powers, of the peace as if it were
an agreement between Independent and
separate nations, of the South as if it
were still the Confederate States of
America. 1t ought not to be necessary
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-03-07

The general character of the measure
is well described by Senator Morrill,,
who says: 1t is apparent that the
industries and agriculture of the South
are to be protected at the expense of
the industries and agriculture of the
North and West For instance, the
cotton-planters have placed upon the
free list cotton bagging and cotton ties,
the principal articles which they re-
quire for the packing of their cotton,
while the farmers of the country who
are cultivating flax will be alarmed to
notice that their products are upon the
free list. The tax upon rice has been
very little, the duty being left still at
two cents per pound, while the reduce
ton of the duty on sugar is triaing.
All through the free list and the duti-
able list there are similar indications of
the sectional character of the bill"
The principle of the bill is mainly
against the North, and republican sec
tons especially, and in favor of the
South and democratic communities. 1t
will also be noted that while the wool,
salt, lumber, granite and marble in
dustries are picked out for destruction
many articles of ornament and luxury
are especially favored. 1t is safe to say
that this inconsistent and partisan
measure will be so thoroughly riddled
by discussion, both in and out of con-
gress, that its authors will wish it had
never been born.
The tariff doctors disagree widely as
to the practical effects of the measure.
The estimated reduction of revenue by
the bill is $55 100000. The Boston
Herald, which is friendly to the bill,
thinks the reduction will not amount to
over S30,OOO,0O0. Mr.. Mckinley of
Ohio thinks that SS,000,000 will be
nearer the actual reduction, while
Governor Long is of the opinion that,
if the bill should be enacted, it would
increase the surplus by increasing i'm
portations.
The injustice of the discrimination
against what are called " raw materials "
is too manifest to need much calculation.
1t is apparent that nothing can truly
and justly be denominated as " raw"
which requires capital for its develop
ment or on which the toll and skill of
workmen is found. 1t requires as much
skill and industry to raise a good
quality of wool as to manufacture it,
and one should be as well protected as
the other. Wool-growing is a business.
The working of granite and marble is
a business. The same may be said of
lumber, salt, iron, copper and all other
articles in the list. They are produced
by human labor and skill and can no.
where be found in nature ready for
consumption. The industries connected
with the so-called raw materials are,
therefore, quite as important as any
other in the country.

Harrison and Gresham.
Indianapolis Correspondent of Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette

Commercial Gazette
The Chicago Tribune and the Indianapolis
Sentinel appear to have struck hands in OPP
posing the candidacy of General Harrison.
They are nice pair to join together to en-
gineer a nomination for the republican
party-the Tribune, that strangest of all
anomalies, free-trade republican journal,
and the Sentinel, free-trade, liquor league
apologist for tally-sheet forgery. They have
united in trying to convince the outside
world that the republicans of Indiana do
not want Harrison and that they do want
Gresham; that Harrison is extremely I'M
popular in this state and that Gresham is
extremely popular 1t is the misfortune,
not the fault, of Judge Gresham that his
cause is loudly championed by all the demo-
cratic papers and leaders of the state. They
are well aware of the feeling against
him, and feel that with him as the republic
can candidate they would easily carry the
state. The judge is not democrat, but the
leaders of that party look upon him as a
weak candidate, or they would not urge his
nomination so persstently, They never
urge their opponents to select strong can
didate. Judge Gresham is man of dis
tinguished ability and has shown himself ca
pable in every situation to which he has been
called, but unfortunately for himself and the
party he has done some things which have in
jured his popularity in this state In 1876,
when the party in Indiana was clamorous for
the nomination of Mr.. Morton, the man
debted, Judge Gresham headed little knot
of indictments and went to Cincinnati to
oppose Morton. In 1884, when the party
was having a life-and-death struggle, Mr.
Gresham was in the cabinet, and, although
often besought TO do so, refused to come to
this state and lend his voice and influence to
carry the state. In both cases, no doubt, he
acted as his judgment dictated and as he
had right to act, but both Morton and
Blaine had friends that We're aggreved and
who have not yet forgotten. General Har-
rison has never been beaten in this state in
a fair fight, and to-day he is more popular
than ever The republicans of Indiana be-
lieve in him. They know him. He has met
their enemy in every campaign since 1856
He has given to their service his time and
money. When the call to battle has been
sounded he has never been laggard, Nor
ton, Harrison and Porter have been the lead
ers par excellence of Indiana republicanism.
Indiana republicans believe in rewarding
those who fight their battles, and they stand
to-day almost like solid wall for General
Harrison 1t would be next to impossible
for any man to be long in public life and not
make some enemies, and General Harrison
has not been more lucky in that respect than
those who have gone before him, but his en-
emies in the ranks of the republican party
OF Indiana are very few

fifty-five per cent to forty; white
granite, common ware, plain white or

per cent to twenty; flint and lime glass

by sixty inches in dimension, is re-
duced from forty to thirty-fve cents
per foot. Steel rails weighing not more
than twenty-five pounds to the yard
are reduced from S17 to 81 per ton.
The duty on saws is reduced from forty
per cent to thirty. The duty on pen
knives, pocket-knives and razors is re-
duced from fifty to thirty-fve per cent.
On woolens, with both specific and ad
valorem duties, the specific duty is
taken off and an ad valorem duty of
forty per cent fixed. The specific duty
is taken off fannels, blankets, knit
goods, etc. The specific duty is taken
from women's and children's dress
goods, coats, Innings, Italian cloths, etc,
and the ad valorem duty is raised from
thirty-five to forty per cent. The
specific duty of forty per cent per
pound is taken off ready-made clothes
and the ad valorem duty is raised to
forty-fve per cent. From cloaks, dol
mans, jackets, etc, the specific duty of
forty-five cents per pound is removed
and the ad valorem duty raised from
forty to forty-fve per cent.
