It is because thy efforts of its advocate* are not discr«-dtted by any sordid motives that they are able, boldly and confidently, to attack the stronghold* of felfi*hne>.s and greed. <>ur institutions were constructed iu purity of purpose and : llMtty. lheir op eration is adjusted to the touch ot national virtue and patriotism, and their results under such guidance must be tbw prosper* ity aud happiness of the pebple; and «o long as the advocates of tariff reform appreciate the sentiments iu whirh our institutions bad their origin, so long as they apprehend the forces whioh alone can guide their opera tion, so long a> tb«>,iu a spirit of true patriotism are consecrated to the service of their country, their temporary defeat being no discouragement; it but proves the stubbornness «»f the efforts of com bined selfishness. aud discloses how far the jteople have been led astray aud how grea: is the necessity of redouhjed efforts in their behalf. To lose faith in the intel ligence of the people Is to surreuder ani abandon the struggle to arouse their intel ligence and free it from darkness and de lusion.

In the track of reforms are often found the dead hopes of pioneers ami the despair of those who fail iu the march, but there will be ne:ther despair or dead h«p< s In the path of tariff reform, nor shall its piouecra fail to reach the heizhts.

The | tariff should be settled and removed for j ever from the domain of politics, for it not only disturbs business, but preveuts | the simple purpose of universal benefi cence, for which alone our government is fitted.
