is an event that will bring sorrow to the heart of every patriotic citizen. No living American was so loved and venerated as he. To look upon his face, to hear his name, was the Florida war from 1840 to '42. Correspondence to Pios i m. Mr.

Wright's speech in coliky Journal of your city, is certainly a remarkable one, in as much as it contains no information, lior does it possess the redeeming quality of entertainment. In this it compares favorably with the paper that print-el it. I do wish Wright and the Journal would take their jjpwn advice to "organize and educate" at lenst enough so they will not be compelled to present themselves to public gaze as brawling doukeyg. Wright does not seem to comprehend the principles of protection, or of free trade. If the principle is wrong all is wrong.

The republican doctrine is simply this: The tariff upon competing articles of foreign commerce should be sufficient, no more, no less, to equalize the cost of production. To make it plainer, it costs 75 cents to produce a jack-knife in this country, while it only costs 50 cents to produce the same knife in foreign contries, the duty should be placed at 25 cents, thereby permitting the foreign article to enter our markets upon equal make a profit from their sales? Free traders say let us have a tariff for revenue only. Of course they want to levy enough duty to meet government expenses, but take it off of competing articles and leave our industries out in the cold. They charge that the tariff is a direct tax to the consumer, and at the same time offer a system that could be nothing else. Free trader, suppose we adopt your system, would we any the less get rid of the tax which must be met to run our government? Would it not only be collecting it in a different way? Ah, we would get goods enough cheaper that we could afford to pay the direct tax would we? Then suppose oilier nations could produce goods just enough cheaper to gradually starve our factories to death, giving one or two of those powerful nations the monopoly of our markets, can you say our goods would then come cheaper? Let this turn of affairs come about farmers, how would it effect us? we then have our 300,000 families engaged in manufacturing to demand our siuplus farm products, or would they come out on the farms and compete with us? I think you will agree with me that under such, to hear one's loved country intensified.

He remained iu the military service until 1853, when he resigned and went into banking in San Francisco lie served his country, not for fame, not out of a sense of professional duty, but for love of the flag and the institutions and New York until 1857. In '58 and '59 he practiced law in Leaven worth. May 14th, 1801 he again entered the regular army with the of which it was the emblem.

All parties say the same. Free traders and protectionists differ only in how this tariff shall be raised.

That the govern nunt which lives the nearest within itself by supplying its every want is the most prosperous and wealthy one in the world.

Protectionists fay that as the actual cost of production here is greater than that of any other nation, that our industries cannot stand the pressure of foreign competition.
