People of the Country.
.: (From Saturday's Daily.)
Perhaps few people in Salem knew, it,
or, if they did, atop to think that yes
terday was the fortieth anniversary of
the grat national tragedy of Washing
ton' D. C. It was forty years yesterday-,
March 14, since John Wilkes Booth
- shot Abraham Lincoln to death in his
box at Ford's theatre. It is just forty
years this morning sinee the flags were
at half mast and all the bells in the
loyal north were tollng for the assas-
sinated president, : -
They have been -the most marvelous
. forty years in American history. They
mark the most remarkable development
any country has ever known. It would
almost seem that Abraham Lincoln bad
laid down his life. that his native land
might prosper. When he""died peaee had
jnst oeefl restored.
Half the country had been devastated
by. civil war and the other half was
mourning for its sons, staggering under
a great debt and facing serious econom
ic problems. The country had a popula
tion of about 11,500,000. It is todav
gtll enjoying a period of the greatest
prosperity; it is the riehest country on
earth and has a population of nearly
83,000,000. v
To the ordinary man the ending of
the war successfully would have
f brought feelings of the greatest pleas
ure and exaltation. The war was over.
The Union had been preserved. Gloom
had given away to light and hope. The
draft bad been under way in a hundred
towns when the newseame. It was
stopped, and thousands in charge of
proovst guards obtainetT their liberty.
. There had been anxiety in a million
homes. But the surrender had changed
all this. And t was a triumph for
Abraham Lincoln, if for any man. .
Gloom of Fatalism.
The gloom of fatalism seems to have
settled on him. Lincoln must have
heard of the surrender a short time
before. Yet his face wore a mantle
of more than usual melancholy, and
those who knew Lincoln in his last
days say that he went about his work
with an indescribable sadness written
on his face.
The last speech of the president was
delivered on -the evening of Thursday,
April 13. . This speech was brought out
by the general glorification which was
going on. Indeed, this demonstration
was in many respects remarkable. All
the publie buildings were illuminated
at night by means of eindles. All the
houses were decorated by day.
The president bal delivered a long
"speech, to the multitude that thronged
the White House grounds on the even
iut of Wednesday, April 12.
On Thursday night there was a mnh
larger-7 crowd waiting to hear him.
Knowing that great importance jwould
be atatehed to his words the President
had committed them to paper, and when
he appeared on the portico was
greeted with a burst of eheering.
Mr. Lincoln conclude his Speech as
follows:
Ached the Band to Play i'Dixie."
"Now, I am about to eMl upon the
band for a tune that out adversaries
over the way have endefcvored to ap
propriate. But we fairjfr captured it
yesterday, and the attJ rney general
eave me his lejral opinion that it is now
our propertv. So I ask trae band to play
'Dixie .'
The thoughts, of Lin ' and his cab
inet were more of thf future than the
past. The last card pet meeting Lin
coln presided over -nas held Friday,
April J4, the day he "(was shot. It was
Good Frday and EasWr Sunav promis
ed to be the --'happiest the north had
known for years. 4
- No One Is tow Alive.
Not a man of thAe who were at the
last Lincoln cabin et "meeting is now
alive, it is know however, that the
president spoke in C the kindliest way of
General Lee, whoseYi example he believed
would have a good 25 influence throughout
the south. Generayl Grant also express
ed himself in -a M imUr manner. The
resident nrnrwuu.t.2 no harsh measure

tire country to ha'rmon,ou reiattonsnip.
v iC-
eral Grant -could not go to the theatre,
aa it would disappoint the public very
much, and finally, to oblige Mrs. Lin
coin, the president consented to go."
V v The President's CastomT
It bad been the custom of the presi
dent every evening after - dinner to
stroll over to the war department and
nave a tanc with Mr.
a talk with Mr. Stanton. There
was really : no necessity for his taking i noon, when the necessary changes i

that he did not know whether an assas
sin could succeed. He declared that he
had every confidence in his guards, bnt
he was certain that if he were killed
the assassin would not get away with

Thus with the gloom of fatalism

tbe land fraud cases have already cost
the government about 35,000, and -the

differentiated the Republican from the
Democratic p"ty.
4 We used to hear from Massachu
setts Republicans as well as those from
other sections that - a protective tariff
diversified industry and . kept np the
wages of labor; and. in, fact, that it was
one of the principal causes of our phe
nomenal national prosperity. I believe
so still, ljetteriy, however, we near,
not ' only from Democrats, but , from
some of our. own party who desire re
vision, that the. tariff checks foreign
trade; that it is responsible for trusts
and combinations against the consumer,
that it exists only for the benefit of
few favored individuals: that our in
dustries have outgrown the necessity
for the indirect assistance wMeh it has
given, they having become dangerous
aggregations of capital that need to te

Republicans with Democratic tenden
cies and nominal protectionists working
for free trade,
"Tbe anti-revisionist need make no
explanations. His position is a logical
one. The "present tariff has produce!
or at least has been accompanied by
great prosperity, while the last reyis
ion downward caused dr was accom
panied by a period of overwhelming
adversity. Facts seem to argue for na.
The burden of proof s to the contrary
is on the revisionists.
Origin of Tariff Revision Sentiment.
"I befieve that this call for tariff
revision is not of protectionist origin,
but the reverse. The constant influence
oi free trade precepts in our colleges,
tne continual treading of editorials
charging the tariff with increasing tbe
cost of livingwithont crediting it wit it
the higher waje and increased employ
ment that it maintains; the talk of the
gTeat advantages of competitive reci
proslty (or free tirade on small scale);
have developed among us a feeling sim
ilar to that which existed in 1892 and
may cause a similar result; very likely
would if Massaenusetts alone were to
be considered.
"An examination of the rates, after
revision is determined upon to see what
changes can mot safely be made would
of course be more sensible than changes
without proper examination; but I sub
mit that if it 5s necessary to bave an
examination by experts to determine
whether revision is needed or not, the
demand is not yet sufficient to waifrsnt
the disturbance that always attends St.
"Mr. Lawrence s theory that because
some American manufacturer may
have cheapened their processes bv in
vention and organization the tariff in
their products should be lowered doe
not appeal to me. Ia the first place it
would take away the principal incen
tive for making- improvements in in
dustries depending upon protection, and
in the second place improvements and
methods of rtriranization developed bere
if found valuable are copied abroad
The foreign rodaeer would thus be
come the principal one to profit by
American invention, as duties on bis
products won Id be lowered because of
the cheapened processes, while the orig
inal differences in the costs of produc
tion would be restored by the foreign
ers usiny our improvements with their
chean labor.

Is Limitation Practicable? '
'A revision argument 'is frequently
heard m private v conversation in the

do not nse it because they know the dif

than some of theic critics at home.
.The argument or rather suggestion, is
this; Why cannot the Republicans in
congress, by caucus or otherwise, decide
upon certain changes on which there
would be substantial agreement, and
carry them through by : a party ToteT
"The difficulty is. first, that the ma
jority of the Repeblieam senators and

of opinion as to what changes ought
to be made if a revision is undertakes.

Effect on Wages.
"It seems to "me that byadvocating
revision our representatives are break
ing down, or in danger of breaking
down, the main line of defense for our
protective system, and for our present
wage scale, which is higher than elae-
wtere, and maintained higher by our4
tariff wall. With wages on the English'

could genera.lv compete with the world

Our masters may not always see elesrly

but let them once generally grasp the
proposition that emrdovment wages and

Political Expediency Considered.

Practical Suggestions.
"Party alignment cannot' be long
maintained when party principles are
not clearly defined. Mere preference
for one set of men over another will
not serve the purpose. It will be much
better to place ourselves ia line with
our nstional party and have 'A square
issue whether we win r not.
"This is not a mere academic dis
cussion. It is already causing dissen
sion if not division, in the Rennblican
party. It may result in less employ
ment aad a lower standard of living for
tbe mass of our people, aad ia adversity
or lessened prosperity for our great
industries. Those who advocate revi
sion are taking a grave responsibility
more serious, I fear, than some of
them realize., .
"Some. of our representatives in the
next house are not as yet committed.
The others can properly change their
view if convinced. Let them consider
their course well before taking final ac
tion."" ."'" -1-
