among' them, not only to eeouro the col

ed very many who havo hitherto acted

Constitutional oougations; the man lies t

their own hands, by(whatever mean?,and
the evident purpose to exclude the South-i

Tho following illustration of the follies
of burthening the people' with high-pro-tcctite
Tari IT, is from a lecture delivered
in Ucd Wing a few days ago by tho Ilon.i
Chris. Graham. . It is a clear and con.i
vinoing exposition of the wholo subject
in & few words, and should be read by ev
erybody : ' ' a :, I ; , ' is
"Well, Mr. Grumbler, I suppose you
re in favor of a tariff to protect domes
tic manufacturers." ,(
''No sir, I urn not.( Protective tariffs
arc all wrong, sir, I assure "you. "Whdt
is a protective tariff, when divested of its
euphemistic verbiage? It is nothing
more or less than a tax collected from the
major, portion of the community to be
paid over to a favored few to enable them
to become nabobs without labor or exer
tion. It is done under the fabio pretense
of collecting tho nccewwry funds upon
importations to defray tho expenses of the
government without resorting to the im
position of a tax upon the people. The
masses are told that the amount thus col
lected is so much clear gain to them, and
that they arc relieved to that extent from
the burdens of taxation. At the amc
time it is building up manufacturers " in
our own couutry, without any expense to
the people. . ? .
,4 1 Ins i a barefaced imposition that
will not bear investigation. That a large
amount is thtu collected, is true ; but the
.. . . 1 . Ma
quiAuori nri-ef, wno pays it; i he im
porter or consumer ? Why sir, the con
sumcr pays it. The import duties be
come and are a part of the prime cost of
the goods, and tho prices advance pro-ra
ta. So you sec the importer gets his
money back from those to whom he fells,
and they from lhoe to whom they sell to,
and a on. The consumers being the last
purchasers finally foot the bill. In addi
tion to tins, the advance we arc compell
ed to pay on uomntic yowis, m con
quence of the tariff, goes into the pock
cts of manufacturers nnt not a cent into
the treasury of the United State. Ho
you ec the agricultural cla.s, being the
principal consuumcrs u manufactured
good, not only pay the expenses of run
ning the government, but nl.othc expan
ses of running the manufactories.
"Now, fur the tiurpo-c cf Illustration
wr will reduce the system to the dimen
sions of a nut shell nnd bring its
lions practically before us. ,
ofjera-
"hupnosc the lrufctccs of this town
ship had the power to impoe a duty up
on all manufactured articles brought into
tn townrnp to oc soiii. adi suppose
we take the single article of flour. We
will tttuipose there is a gr'wt mill at Can
.a t . . a
non Pal!, and Mr. Phelps has one in this
township ; and we will further supposo
that l',0KJ barrcKof flour nra nail etch
year to the citizen of this township.
1,000 barrels by Mr. Phelps and: 1,000
barrels by the Cannon Palls miller. The
Cannon Palls miller can afford to and
does ecll his flour at S3 per baarel ; Mrl
Phelp .eils at the same price, or he can
not ell at all. Mr. Phelp, being a cun
ning Yankee, goc to the Trustees and
tells them that he cannot successfully
compete with the Cannon Palls miller;
because he, Phelps, has to pay a tax ori
his manufactured flour to the township
treasurer that the Cannon Palls miller
gets rid of. He aho tells them that .the
duty imposed upon the Cannon Pails mil
ler will go into the treasury and materi
ally assist in defraying tho expenses of the
township. f '
"Now this, although plausible at first
sight, is nothing more in fact than re
questing the trustees to levy a tax on the
masses to be paid to Mr. Phelps to ena
ble him to run his mill and swell his prof
.its, for the amount collected from the
Cannon Falls miller has to he paid by the
people. - ' ' i- '
'The Trustees lay a duty of SI per
barrel upon the Cannon Falls miller, lie
sells his 1,000 barrels and pays SljOUO
into the treasury; but he sells at 80 in
stead of $5 per barrel, this increase in
prico being the amount of duty imposed
by the Trustees. :
" Now we have collected and put into
the treasury the nice little sum of $1,000.
But the question now is, who paid it?
'1 he Cannon Falls miller has collected back
from the people the 81,000 that ho paid,
by the advauced price on his flour. - Then
who did pay it? Why we chuckfe-heads
paid it. Dut'that is not all,' for wo also
paid Mr. Phelps another $1,000, for he
sold us his 1,000 barrels of ;flour; at 86
per barrel also. This 1,000 goos exclu
sively into tho pockets' of Mr. Phelps,
and not a cent into tho treasury. Thus
wo have paid out 32,000 and got-a crcd
it of 81,000. A splendid finanoial bper
alion, especially for Mr. "Phelps. - Mr;
Phelps has made $1,000, not by Iris eneN
gy or, his industry, but by the operations
of an iniquitous law. - But it is said that
Mr Phelps has to pay a tax fan' the flour
he manufactures. Very wellho has to
pay 5 per cent -that - is, -.wo pay2 : him
1,000 and ho pays 850 of it into'i the
treasury and puts $950 in his pocket.-i
In this view of 'tho' subject wo pay out
81,000 and get credit for the magnificent
sum of $50.- J,"- ' "V1 u yh :y3;'v-l'K.'H
"Now this works so admirably,' that
Mr. Phelps, in a fit of 'patridtio generos
ity, presents each of the trusteos with a
barrel of flour', and induces them to bis'e
the tarifj to2 per barrel.' As soon as
this7' is f done ' !flour -;-f ises-; ito'f$7 ;per
barrel. The Cannon! Falli miller soils
1,000 barrels -and 'pays' $2,000 ifjto the
treasury,' which the. peopiopay Dacicto
him by tho ; advaneer they ' jpay bo ' flour.
Blr.l'helDs' is- als 'DAldtne'1 advanefr'-of
P2 peir5 barrel ;'bn th6MT,00O' t)arrets he
sells,' and thiis 'coolly puts7 $2,000 of. th
people's ' money into 'his : pocket''lvxis
and 'evervbodv is'gettinrflch j id -'Mr
Phelps says. --lie - tclls'Tue pedplb '-'Ihat
by this policy ot prorectioa-theyviiavo
$2,000 in tho treasury, which the Can
tho people pay out l(4,0U0, ana got erccl
Itfor 82,000.' ;; :; t 'j y-
:i Things are going bnswtm5 tangly 'bw,
non Falls miller paid, and all that is
wanted U rnke the thing perfect add to
get moro money in the , treasury, is to in
crease tho tariff.; So tho tariu is increas
ed to 83 per, barrel" NowJ' Mr. Phelps
determines to sell all the flour, so hr pak.
tiniieM to sell at 87, and by this stroke of
policy he closes tho market Ogamst tho
Cannon Falls miller, for ho cannot sell
flour atj $7 per barrel when he has to pay
n duty of Ho Mr. Phelps sells
nil tho' flour.' viz :' 2.000. elenrs 82 on
the barrel, and thus puts 81,000 into hi
pocket. ' And how much is paid into the
treasury f Why not a , single cent. So
the people in this caso pay $1,000 and
get credit for nothing. ' '
"Now tho. Cannon Falls miller being
cut off from our market docs not purchase
all tho surplus wheat grown by the Can
non rails' farmers, and they in consequence
of it seek another market. They bring
their wheat to .Mr. Phelps and sell it
cheaper than our farmers do. Our far
mers apply to the Trustees to put a duty
on this foreign wheat, so that they ;may
be protected as well as Mr. Phelps. The
trustees reply, "Why God bless your ig
norant souls, it is not bur policy to protect
farmers all we have to do is to protect
the manufacturer,; Mr. Phelps, and the
cheaper he can get wheat tho better. If
you cannot grow wheat as cheap as they
can, you had better go into some other
business."
"Such Mr. is a brief analysis-' of tho
practical workings of a protective tariff
in the caic of a single individual, in a sin
gla article. It is applicable to the whole
syittem when combined.
"Now, sir, if we Western farmers pay
most or all the expenes of running thee
hastcrn manufactories, ore wc not in jus
lice entitled to a part of the profits? Wc
arc pccuniaiily stockholders; and in fact
the heaviest stockholders in thecstab ish-
mcnt. When dividends of 100, 150, or
200 per cent, are declared, what portion
is pai4 over to us, who have been heavi
lv taxed to run the machine? Not
cent. Wc., ire not even thanked for if
wc grumble nt thi-ir extortions we are
branded as Copperheads and enemies to
the best iulcre.ts of the country.
"-Thcie nabobs rolling in. wealth and
luxury drawn frpm the sweat and toil
of the wc?t arc still unsatisfied. They
dctnaod more protection or in plain
words, the power to suck ont the very
life -blohd of the W'est. They arc now
before Congress with iheir pockets well
lined with 'greenbacks.' rnifsilcs of cor
ruption, demanding further protection.
And they arc,uro to get it if Conpress
can spare the' time from attending to the
interests of the tuv'-n. MfneT is all
powerful and irresistible. Members, of 1
('ongrcss may , be corrupted they are
nothing but human beings,' and the very
meanest kind at that. ' " '
Hie people, sir,-ate greatly exercised
(about freight monopolies, and aro holdin?
inuinaxion mcrims in iius anu aujom
ing .States to put them down," but not a
voice is raided agaist manufacturing mo
nopolies. 'Whilst the former is robbing
us of cents, the latter is robbing us of
dollars. Wo are actively engaged in try
ing to stop a small spiggot hole, without
paving the Jeat attention to thcbigbhng
hole that is also open. Wise men would
Crist fctop'lhe bung hole and then thespig
got liole, for if the bung hole be not
speedily stopped there will be but little
left to run out-of, the spiggot.. Hut you
will find that the majority of spiggot men
are in favor of enlarging the bung hole.
' " But, say these wiseacres, by building
up manufactories ' we are furnishing our
selves a home market for our surplus pro
ducts. That is, we will give a man a dol
lar for cery ten cents worth of produce
he will buy from us, for we are taxed a
dollar to build up manufactories, for these
nabobs for every tea cents worth of pro
duce they buy from us. ,, Now sir, if. it be
the interest of the farmers to buy a home
market on these terms,, the system could
be greatly aud economically simplified, by
each couijty ' furnishing its home market.
Let the farmers of this county employ 1,
000 loafers to be and remain in Ked Wing,
under obliga'.ious to do no manner, of
work, but to "be clothed in purplo .and
fine linen and fare sumptuously o very day ."
The farmers on their part are to foot all
the bills in produce at the lowest cash
figures, and also to pay each loafer 8500
iu cash, at the end of each and every year.
Now by this simple process,, easily under
stood, tho farmers wouldhavo a homo mar
ket for all, their surplus products', right
untlef their own noso and would save the
cost of transportation to ourcastorn home
market:'5 -:l -- '-'' t-.-: . ;ri
". A" popular fallaoy, that prevails td an
alarming extent is,:that our only market
for our, surplus products is created by the
number of operative's employed in manii
faotories. Wrhy, they do not buy: tho one
hundred thousandthpart of foiir surplus
products.'' :Tho operatives upon our pub
lio works alone uy 1,000 times moro than
they;do. Whoa wq tako iutovonsidcra

American Keconwtrnctlon;
Tho complication of. the domestic af
fairs of the United States was never more
remarkable than at the present moment.
The work of reconstruction has not ac
tually made progress, for all sections and
parties admit .that, tho framework of .soci
ety in tho Southern division of tlie'Union
is as much deranged now as it ever has
been. Government by tho bayonet arid
the forcible suppression of thought, which
ovcry reflecting man in th? r country
heartily, deplores, ana even the, roost ex
trcine regard with secret aversion and
misgiving, seem likely Ho ' be extended
through the present generation. The
longer a jculo of. this kind U maintained,
the more difficult it becomes to terminate
it, because the discontent which it excites
renders severe repressive measures indis-
penable. 1 he American people are at
length accustomed to a state of affairs
from .which they would formerly have
turned with indignation to the existence
on their continent of a' purely7 military
government over ten millions of' their
fellow citizens, whoj-e representative lueu
are put under the ban, who are. not only
excluded from the Federal legislature and
Icderal offices, but are deprived cf all
voice in the government of their several
States. The community that is subjec
ted. to this treatment accepts it without
murmuring, Jut. the passive attitude of
submistioo into which it has fallen is ev
en more unpromising for the peace and
welfare of tho country than c-pen resist
anee. Forcible oppo-jitioo, if any coold
be made.: might, easily be: quelled; but
wheu onc-tJjird ol a great nation, whose
concurrence in the general government is
necessary to its prosperity and tecurity,
declines to take any part m it, and fits
down in liitlcss indifference or despair.
either coercive or( conciliatory measures
will prove unavailing. Uhe Southern
people say that since Congress has deter-
mtnea mat tne negroes raut govern, so
shall it be, but they will not give their
sanction to the proceeding by recording
Iheir.uames in an assured minority at the
polli. Thcie arc not many even in the
radical party who look with satisfaction
on the probable perpetual , estrangement
of the houthrcn people, and the incor
poration into the. mam structure of the
government of the five military districts
which have virtually superceded ten or
gauizcd States.- London Timet. 7

To the Kditora cf the Enqairer:
I . There are but few personi -who have
any conception of the vast numbers con
tained in a billion. f , In order to arrive at'!
something like a definite nndersahding" T
of tho iiamensity of tuch enin, let ta - it
suppose one billion of silver dollars to be ; :
placed in a heap, and one man set to count " "
it, how long wouja it taise mm to count it r
Some will say, perhaps a month,or triaybe
three.( six mopthsf or a year, .but, we will,
let, figures answer. , We will suppose that1
an' expert would be able to ' count and '
arrange in nanKing noose orcier, one every n
second ; at that rate he would. count sixty
per minute, three thousand six, hundred ,
per hour, (and allowing ten hours lor a
day's work.) thirty-six thousand fn a day, if
one million in a month and two'days, and
ih one year ten million . tight hundred , i
thousand, and one billion in ninety-two f
years. row, let ns suppose our national
debt to bo no more than it is generally
stated to be, say about $2,700,000,000,
and it we divide that sum by 10,800,000,
the sum that could be I counted mone,, ly
year, we find that it would take 250 years,
to count the National debt; andyet some ,
of our Radical friends would have us be- ' '
licve that the debt is a mere trifle, while
they go on with their reckless extravagance; -
spending $500,000,000 of the f people's ? t
money every year, mainly for the purpose ,
of perpetuating their own power and "
supporting twenty to thirty thousand cor-
rupt oihcials. 'Ihink r these ' things;
ye tax payers; and consider whether it -,.
would bo better to contjrrue in power a ? t
party so unscrupulous and hypocritical, ,
and so recklessly extravagant in expend- ;
iture, or return to the good old Democrat-
ic principles upon whiob the Govern'
mentwas administered in former timcsrv
when our taxes were so light we scarcely .
knew we had a Government to . support.
fThe calculation of E. C." C. shows the "
immensity of the public debt, and i hotriX
long it would take to pay it by counting
out dolbr by dollar in silver. ..There is a.
way, however, nt so tedious: pay off in
one thousand dollar : greenback bills, five ;
hundred dollar greenback bills, and one
hundred dollar greenback bills. r Its mag-,!?
nitude will not be so enormous, in fact,
as it appears when treated in that way.- . '
