The Savannah Daily Herald. SAMliKL W. MASON, Kditor, \V. T. THOMPSON, Auociate Editor. Official Paper of the City. LARGEST CIR6DLATIIIIITHE IITV AND COUNTY WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 14, 1866. A GROWING PARTY. 11 was only a few weeks since that the free trade movement was initiated in the city of New York by an association of influential and intelligent gentlemen, whose views and objects were thus set forth : •• The Leajjne holds that men should have the right to exercise their industry, to dispose of its fruits in any market which to them shaU seem best, and with the proceeds to buy whatever and wherever they •*It oroteate against the ‘paternal’ interference of government with private pursuits, being convinced that the less government is felt and seen the bettor for aU concerned. . . , “ It believes that ‘protection’ to the producer is rob bery of the consumer, with the added hypocricy of pretending to look after the latter’s interest. The terrific onslaught upon this organiza- tion, now known as the “ American Free “ Explanatory.” “ Certain parties, to gratify apolitical grudge, having ■een proper to miarepresent am, we can «ay the editor oi the National Republican is not the only peraon that hae paid the city tax of one per cent an groes receipts under protest. We have the names of several influen tial buaineea men who have done the seme, and whoee object in eo doing will be folly developed in good time. This statement we deemed necessary to clear ourselves trona the unjust imputation that we are not disposed to acknowledge the Justice of any claim that had the approval of the business community. None can say that we are backward about meeting our obligations, but with such as are manifestly unjust—no matter by whom or on whom the imposition is practised, we shall never hesitate to speak oar disapprobation, and take such legal redress as the laws of the country af- | ford." Mn. Editob: The above extract is from the National Republican of Monday. Permit me to ask the editor of that paper the following questions: Who are the certain parties who have " a political grudge ” to gratify in misrepresent nq yon ? As yon are " sot the only person that hae paid the city tax of one per cent, on grots receipts under pro test," please state how many more “influential busi ness men have done the same.” Did you protest while paying the same tax to the military, and whloh was, as you know, imposed neces sarily to defray the governmental expenses of the city ? Are you not “backward” about meeting your obliga tions," particularly at this time, as a citizen of Sevan, uah, (if you claim to be one,) when you murmur at the aid you are called upon to contribute out of youb easily earned receipts, in order to assist in carrying on the government of that city ?

THE ORIGINAL Trar 1 " System ” by the numerous class of these questions, my taxes being paid in common with journals subsidized iu the interests of the “ y ^-Citizens, witimut any desire to grumble J ouusiu through the columns of a newspaper. Northern manufacturers has done it9 cause | Citizen. a service, by attracting the attention of the people to a subject, which, although of the highest importance, had been overlooked iluriug the late military conflict. We have noticed with pleasure that the people and press of the West are engaged in giving vent in mass meetings to their indignation and opposition to the exorbitant tariff upon im ported goods, by which Northern manufac turers are so enormously tavored and enriched at the expense of other sections of the coun try. Not satisfied with the immense profit they already derive, they are endeavoring to force the passage of bills through Congress for an in crease of their unjust gains. It is some comfort, however, to koow that the despotic sway of the Northern protectionists cannot last much longer. The Western and Northwestern Slates are increasing with much greater rapidity than those of the East, and after another census the Atlantic and New England States will be out-voted by the former, while the South, however reduced ia numbers and representation, will hold the balance of power This free trade movement in the great West indicates to every descerning mind that our politics must soon assume a new phase; out of the new questions about to rise into prominence, it will probably oc cupy the first rank. The currency question tends, by the growth of business and the active demand for capital in the South, to settle itself. Besides, there is no such funda mental difference of opinion or opposition of interests in relation to it as can occasion a party struggle. All admit that the volume of the currency must be reduced and that we must return as rapidly as consists with safety, to the specie basis. The only qnestions about it are mere questions of time and means; the end is universally acknowledged to be desirable. But free trade is question of quite another complexion. There is in this the elements of vigorous and protracted party struggle. The State of the country is such as to create in respect to it a tremendous conflict of in terests, as well as clash of opinions. One side already claims that the public debt has settled our policy on this subject. On the free trade side are sound principles cer tain to gain ground in proportion as they are discussed. It is certain that the struggle on this question must he a vigorious, and may be, a long one. The formation of this “Free Trade League,” which, if successful, will have its affiliated societies all over the country, is a significant sign of the times. It proves that the ten dencies of the public mind run parallel to the policy of the Democratic party. There can be no doubt that the free-trade doctrines are destined to triumph. The party that champions them is the party of the future. This the radical faction clearly foresee, and we have in it the true secret of their opposi tion to the admission of Southern Representa tives to their seats in Congress. Travelers’ Insurance Co., OF HARTFORD, CONN. Capital, - - - $500,000 Insures agalnat all kinds of ACCIDENTS. T HE TRAVELERS’ INSURANCE CO- of Hart ford, Conn., was the first to successfully Intro duce in this country the practice of Insurance against Accidents, of whatever kind, whether they occur la traveling, or In hunting, Ashing, sailing riding, skat lug, in the street, store, ottlce, or while workiti ' shops, mill.s,.factories, or on the farm.

This gentleman has just broken long silence upon the affairs of the country by a brief address before the New Hampshire State Democratic Con vention which met on the 7th instant. He expressed the hope that the country is now emerging from the thick darkness which at one time brooded over the country. That the present time called for the calm, dispas sionate and patriotic exertions of all good men in the work of restoration. Not merely iu form, but a restoration of community in terests, fraternal feeling and equality of rights among all the States. He expressed himself | pleased with the President’s course, and thinks his steps looking to restoration have been guided by wisdom, patriotism and statesmanship. Under any circumstances he thought it would be abject to despair of the country. GENERAL ACCIDENT POLICIES. The best policy for every man, whether lie travels much or little, is a General Accident Policy, whicli insures against every possible form of casually, at all times, and times and places. An annual premium of $10 or $12 (according to oc cnpatlon), will secure a General Accident Policy for $2,000, in case of fatal accident, or $10 per week during disability caused by accident (not exceed ing twenty-six weeks for any one accident.) An anuual premium for $2 . or $30 will, In like manner, secure a policy for $5,000, or $25 per week compensation. Any other sum, from $500 to $10,000, at proportion ate rates. Where policies are Issued against loss of life only, or for compensation only, the rates are much lower. A liberal discount on three and five year policies. A.
