J. KNABB, 1 j. 8TKRRRTT, PuMithert and T. C. 8TU8DY, AUGUST 14 1880.

A NEEDED REFORM At every session ol our Courts the Grand Jury is called upon to act on a lot of bills returned by the Aldermen and Justices of the Peace which are of the most trivial character, and from twenty to fifty bills are ignored at each session and the costs put upon the county. The last Grand Jury ignored thirty bills. The average cost in each case is $15, or from $100 to $000 each term. In most cases the prosecutors who are unable to pay the costs are sent to prison and the county has to pay their board, which amouuts to more than the costs. If these costs were put upon the Aldermen and Justices who send up these petty cases, it would have a beneficial effect.

THE SOLID SOUTH. Every Republican in the North knows that the white and colored Republicans in the Southern States will not be allowed to vote for President, or if they do their ballots will not be counted. All the electoral votes in the Southern States will be cast for the Democratic candidate for President. Would it not be well for the people of the loyal States to inform the Southern Brigadiers that there is no necessity for incurring the expense of holding an election as the "Solid South" will be counted for Hancock. This would save thousands of dollars to the taxpayers of that impecunious section of the Union, and save many valuable lives.

The Republicans of the South would not then be the victims of the shot gun aud bulldozing policy. As the election in the South would only be a farce why not dispense with it? The Campaign has progressed far enough to show conclusively that the Democrats have no possible chance of carrying Pennsylvania. To do so they would have to make a change of at least 20,000 votes in their favor over former campaigns, and so far the indications are that they will have enough to do to hold their own without any gains whatever. Hancock can make no headway against Garfield. The Republicans are certain to elect their State ticket and carry both branches of the new Legislature, with probably a gain of several Congressmen in the State representation.

What' ever other States may do Pennsylvania will he found as soundly Republican as ever next Xovember. BERKS COXGRESSIOXA DISTRICT The ensuing Congressional term will probably be the last that Berks county will alone constitute a Congressional district. Under the preseut apportionment the ratio of population for each member of Congress was fixed at 131,425. Berks was short about 25,000 of this ratio during the last decade and was fortunate in not having part of another county tacked on to it at the last allotment. Under the new cen sus the basis will probably be raised to something like 175,000 of population for a Congressman.

Berks has only about 125, 000. Should the Democrats carry the Legislature, Lebanon county, or part of Lancaster, will most likely be tacked on to Berks to make a district, so as to swallow up their Republican votes. If the Republicans make the apportionment, parts of Lehigh or Montgomery will be annexed, so as to make the district still stronger Democratic, and the adjoining districts Republican. "I ask the election of Winfield S. Hancock to the presidency because he comes to me as the apostle of peace; whose father I knew, whose friends I knew," and these appear to be the strongest reasons Forney can advance for the election of the Confederate candidate.

He has an overgrown, monstrous opinion of his influence when he calls on the intelligent voters of the country to support Hancock, "whose father I knew, and whose friends I knew." Were ever such puerile reasons advanced before by any man claiming to be of a sound mind? IS GARFIELD A FREE TRADER? Senator Wallace, in the speech which he ha? made two or three times lately along the Schuylkill Valley, has charged that General Garfield is an advocate of free trade that he has eulogized the British free trade policyi and that his position respecting the matter is indicated by his alleged membership in the Cobden Club. Now, of course, Mr. Wallace knows that Garfield is net and never hag been a free trader but his ignorant bearere may not have the information in a positive shape, acd leet they should be misled by the utterance of a man whose party has entered the campaign upon a dhtinctly free trade platform, it may be worth while for the Republican press to supply positive proof of the ab snrdity of Wallace's charges. Away back in the beginning of his career, Garfield put his opinions upon the subject in this form, In a letter lo a friend, a college professor. "As an abstract theory the doctrine of free trade seemi to be universally true bu', as a question of practicability, under a government like ours, the protective system seems to be indispensable." This is a proposition to which very few protectionists will make eri oUi objection.

A man who believes the free trade argument to have great strength, but who holds that the protective system is indie pensable to this country, is at least not a dangerous enemy of American industry. But Garfield was a young man when he wrote these words. Ten years afterwards, in 1866, he showed, in a speech made by him in Congress, that he had strengthened his convictions that a protective tariff is a necessity for the United States. He said "Duties should he so high lint our mannfsctn rem can fairly compete with tbe foreign product, hut not so high as to enable them to drive ont the foreign article, enjoy a monopoly of the trade, and regulate the pr'ce as they pleaio. This is my doctrine of protection." This will be regarded by all reasonable protectionists as sound doctrine.

The only protection that we want is that which will enable our manufacturers to pay living wages to their working people and to be free from open competition from the foreigners who employ pauper labor. Nobody wishes all foreign goods kept out. The requirement is that competition between foreign goods and domestic goods shall be condut ted upon a basis which will permit domestic goods to have a fair chance. Ia 1873, Garfield made another' speech upon the eubject In which he took even stronger ground in favor of protection. He eaid "If aU the kingdoms of the world should become the kingdoms of the Prince of Peace, then I admit that universal Free Trade ought to Prevail.

But that blessed era ii yet too remote to be made the basis ot the practical legislation of to day. We are not yet members of 'the oarliameut of man, the federation ot the For the present the world is divided Into separate nationalities; and that other divine command still applies to our situation: 'He that providetb uot for his own household has denied the taiih, and Is worse than an until that latter era arrives pa' riot ism must supply the place of universal brotherhood." That Is to say, free trade would be a natural and proper thing to have during the millennium; but just at present, when foreigners are trying to destroy our industries by starving the laborers who produce their goods, so that they can undersell ua in our own markets, we take care of our own interests and our own people. Garfield, in the same speech made this further declaration: "So Important, In my view, Is the ability of the nation to manufacture all these articles necessary to arm, equip and clothe our people, that if ft could not be secured In any other way 'I would vote to pay money out of the Federal Treasury to maintain Government iron and steel, woollen and cotton mills, at whatever Were we to neglect these great interests and depend upon other nations, In what a condition of helplessness would we find ourselves when we should be again Involved In war with the very nations on whom we were depending to furnish us these supplies?" Henry Clay or Horace Greeley never demonstrated more clearly than General Garfield does in this paragraph the necessity for industrial independence and the propriety of a policy which insures it to the country. Garfield's utterances upon the question are all characterized by moderation. In the following paragraph he reiterates his belief that the tariff should be so arranged 'as to give protection while it forbids extottion "I would have tho duty so adjusted, that every Kreat American industry can fairly live and make 'air profits, and yet so low that if our manufacturers attempted to put up prices unreasonable the competition from abroad would eome in and bring down prices to a fair rate.

Buch a tariff I believe will be supported by the great majority of Americans. We are not far from having such a tariff In our present law. In some respects wn have departed from that standard. Wherever it does, we should amend it, and by bo doing we shall secure stability and prosperity." Garfield's moderation is not an indication as (he paragraphs just quoted show, of any fondness for free trade or of any doubt of tbe wisdom of protection. It is the result of bis appreciation of the fact that the man who wants too much will be likely to get too little; that a moderate protective tariff, such as that now in existence, will be more likely to resist assaults upon it than one that imposes excessive duties.

Upon this point he himself says: "I have umally been at one pole or thoolher; there I stood on the equator, aud there insisted that the true doctrine was the point of stable equilibrium, where we could hold a lurid" that would not be knocked down everv time the Free Tiaders got into power, and boosted up every time me Protectionists got into power, but to give the country a stable policy where the tendency would be toward amelioration all the while. I have held that equitable gronnd throughout, end held It against the assaults, now from oueside and now from tho other, and I estimate it cneof Hie greatest o( my achievements in public life to have held that equl poite." Whatever these quotations from General Garfield's public speeches may fail to provef certainly they demonstrate with positive clearness that he is not an advocate of free trade that he does not favor "a tariff for revenue only;" thst he approves of a tariff which will equalize the difference between American labor and foreign labor; and that be thinks it the proper function of the government so lo foster domestic industries that this nation shall be able, ultimately, to supply its wants from its own shops and factories and mills. If General Hancock holds such opinions they have not yet been revealed. Nobody knows what be thinks upon the subject quite likely he does net thick at all. But his platform declares boldly for free trade, and if be can stand upon that platform he can sign any anti tariff bill that a Congress of Democrats and rebel brigadiers may present to him.
