CiTil Service Reform.

A ConKroxi)ENi who thinks
that the remarks in yesterday's is
sue in favor of free trade -were
hardly logical enough to suit his
protective ideas, favoi us with a
leno-thv communication in refer
ence to the alleged impetus that
protection gives home industry.
He claims that the theory and ar
gument of American protectionists
have always been that a tariff on
foreign importations would be
somewhat of hindrance, or preven
tive, of such importations, thereby
raising and keeping more steady
and uniform the selling pi ice there
of, and.thu's i endeiing investments
in iiuuie manufactures more cer
tain of fair piofits, and therefore
more likely to bf made by capi
talists or persons otherwise dis
posed to enter into manufacturing
business. And although the im
mediate effect of a tariff duty on
import's would be to raise the price
of such imports to the consumer,
still, in the long run, on account
of the competition between home
manufacturers and importers, and
the development of home talent,
skill, acquired efficiency, and all
other items of home resources, the
enhanced price would be more
than neutralized, and the same
class of goods be produced cheaper
at home, than they would have
been made abroad and imported.
"The protectionist, theory has
proven correct. Xo one conver
sant with the history and progress j
. of the United States the past forty
or fifty years can show wherein
they were at fault. The cry is
everywhere, even in the heretofore
pent up Southern states, and in
Portland, Oregon, where the
Oregonian, for the past few years
has so persistently advocated free
trado (in railroad materials, etc.)
foi more manufactures, more manu
facturers, more manufactories, in
the city. Well, they are sensible1?
Thatprocess, whatever it is, which
converts a pound of wool, worth
"Jo cts., into four dress goods worth
S3, or a pound of iron cue worth
one-fourth of a cent into watch
springs worth 300 cent-., or a cord
of oak wood worth $2, into cabi
net wares, veneering, etc., worth
$50 or 500, is a very desirable
thing to have in any country or
eity, even; .and the two fire or ten
intelligent artisans, mechanics or
manufacturers required to do that
converting, and who live in our
houses, buy our city lots, and eat
our produce, are desirable acces
sions to any country, community
or city.
Which is the surer way of get
ling such neighbors? to keep up
the production or open our ports
t? free trade?
The time has been when protec
tion and protection tariff laws
Heeded advocates, when we had a
Clay, a Webster, a Greeley and
their co-worker. They did their
work well. They won their bat
tles, the American people have
reaped too great a reward from
their victories, to go back on them
in otitis "feneration.'
'Our correspondent forgets that
the tune to which the twenty-five
mUlioiis of a generation ago
marked time and kept step, is
hardly up to the requiremeuts of
the twice twentj'-iive million of
the present generation.

be discussed, much less inaugu
rated, owing to the assassination
of the latter about the time the
matter was first thought of. The
main features of the proposed
innovation consisted of the allot
ment to each state of its quota of
appointments and the filling it,
after a kind of competitive exami
nation, by state beards: the ob
ject being to secure in all cases
competent persons, properly dis
tributed among the several states.
That some reform in the civil
service is necessarv has jrrown to
be an axiom, but so far all at
tempts to improve the present
system have been, as most of
tnem were intended to be. total
failures. The great trouble arises
from the unwillingness of the
"Ins" to make any change. There
ought to be a fair division of
clerkships among the states; theio
should be no appointments of in
competent persons, and neither!
appointments nor removals should,
in any manner, depend upon the
political opinion' of the clerk
themselves, or the political neces
sities of the pary which happens
to be, for the time being, in power.
It is to bo regretted that .Mr.
"Windom had no oppoitunity to
proceed in the matter, as the plan;
so far as developed, seems practi
cal. His successor, however, can
avail himself of the suggestions of
the late Secretary, and can add to
them if he should see fit. .ludge
Folger's views on the subject are
awaited with intercut.

AnjuTANT-General Drum, in his
annual report to the Secretary of
War, states, among other things,
that .some five hundred photo
graphs of all the general officers
commissioned by President Lin
coln during the war have been col
lected, and supplements the same
by a request for their publication
as an illustrated army register. It
is very doubtful if such a picture
gallery would be interesting
enough to the people at large to
compensate for the expense of an
illuminated army register in addi
tion to the regular issue. 1 nere is
not the slightest objection to the
survivors of these live hundred
gentlemen exchanging album-, in
which their fire hundred photo
graphs shall appear, provided they
assume the responsibility for the
same, and, what is of practical im
portance, foot the bill.
