Some OF the papers OF the country are
just now taking rather a peculiar view Of
the tariff situation. They say truly that
the Republican aim In revising the tariff
was declared TO be, 10 produce sufficient
revenue for the expenditures Of the gov
eminent; and they are now inclined to
find fault because congress has not pro-
ceeded, in its revision, solely with an eye
TO revenue, but has instead framed s
protection measure. IL would be unres-
sonable 20 expect that congress con-
trolled by the Republican party should
frame u tariff on other than protection
lines, nor has the party ever given any
promise or intimation that anything else
should be done.
