1.-THE duty on imported woolIen cloths is
increased, flor the protection of the wool
len manufacturer) will it enhance the price
of woollen cloths to the consumer: Sup
pose ten millions of dollars of foreign WOOL
len goods are required to meet the wants
of consumers under the existing state OF
things suppose, by imposing the duty
prayed for, mportations are checked, SO
that only seven millions come to our mar
ket;-will not market be opened to our
manufacturers for three millions OF their
goods? Knowing this, and the certainty
Of making sales, viii they not, II they can,
make much larger quantities than II this
opening had not been created tor them
But it is said prices will advance, and
thereby the consumer be taxed. If our
manufacturers make Just three millions worth
of cloths, the supply and demand will be
the same as though no protecting duty had
been imposed; prices will remain the same
as though the former duty had not been
increased, and the consumer, whatever he
may gain otherwise by the increased activ-
ity of domestic industry and by the circu
laiion of three millions retained in the
country, will pay for his purchases of cloths
the same as if the protecting law had not
passed. Will. any .one, with ordinary
knowledge of the energies and resources
of our country, say we cannot make them
We have shown that the consumer will not
be loser. Will the manufacturer lose or
gain? If the manufacturer has ordinarily
made ten thousand dollars worth, and un-
der the protecting law makes fifty thou
sand dollars worth, and sells yard for yard
at the same price, the probability is that
Ire lost money on the ten thousand dollars
worth, and made money on the fifty thou
sand dollars worth. This is the great
paradox, the assertion of which does so
much violence to common sense, when
there are facts to illustrate the principle in
every mechanical and manufacturing occu-
patton, and whenever machinery is brought
10 bear, and manual labor unnecessary, ex-
cept to small extent, las is the fact with
respect to the fabrication of nearly every
description of cloths the quantity produced
and sold is an all important consideration.
The opposers of the American system
admit that experience in ordinary cases is
u good instructor, but as the doctrine OF
the friends of the American system is at
war with comInon sense, they refuse their
assent to it. There must be, say they, err
ror at the bottom. If the manufacturers of
w0olen cloths can produce their fabrics to
the consumer cheaper than they can be
imported, why don't they do it? The man.
ufacturer says, give me the market so that
| can make extensive sales, and | will DO
it. The principle may be illustrated as
follows Suppose B is the proprietor of
the copy right of booL by printing 200
copies, and receiving one dollar per copy,
he would lose money. Suppose he prints
10000 copies, and sells each COPY at so
cents, might he not make money?

Nh. JEFFERSON. The National Journal
in late article, in speaking of the presi-
Dental question, thus alludes again to the
opinion of Mr.. Jefferson, touching the is

Adams or General jackson.

chieftain, ignorant of all law-if we are to

Boulton, at this time, was most excruciat-
ing and appalling death seemed to stare
her in the face on all Sides The only
prospect of escape was to pursue the ex-
ample of her husband; but, upon looking
at her offspring, she came to the noble res
olution of perishing or surviving with them.
She had the presence of mind to shift from
off the seat to the bottom of the carriage,
securing her precious charge in her arms.
Every attempt was made by numerous
spectators to stop the horses; but all to no
purpose. They continued their speed like
a stag pursued by hounds, till they reach
ed Dundas-street, where, in attempting to
turn, the carriage came in contact with
post, and was shiyered to atoms4 Mrs. b.

a death-like grasp, her children in her

fling cut on the face of Mrs. b. occasioNed
by the pitch from the carriage.

In addition to the interesting accounts
r which have been given to the general en-
tertainnlent of the country, respecting the
adventures of Messrs. Van Buren, and
Cambreleng, the following supplementary
anecdote may be thought worthy of pc
rusal. An honest Dutchman of Kinder
hook, New York, heard the story of Mr..
Macop's breakfast, and how that the great
patriot, Mr.. Van Buren,. had periodically
renowned the consumption of cheese, be-
cause there was duty of nine cents per
ID. on English, Cheshire, and Stilton: and
all for the protection of dairy women, and
the oppression of the nation; and particu-
larly Of the "Patriot States" The good
man had also learnt from the Philadelphia
Address, that there were also duties on
tobacco and paper, for the protection of
Southern Planters and both Southern and
Northern Papermakers.
In view of these facts, and under the
excitement produced by the first reading of
Mr.. Cambreleng's humorous and convinc
ing discourse, repleJe Win genius and
application" delivered on the same subject
at the same breakfast, he proceeded to Al
bany, Immediately after Mr.. Van Baren's
return from the South inquired whether
he and his neighbors might conscientious
iy continue to smoke their pipes, and take
the Troy Budget; and whether Mr.. Van
Buren, could inform him if, in SO doing.
they should act agreeably to the wishes of
the Republican party !" and whether also
the same party would approve oftheir max
ing use Of Sufficient cheese at Kinderhook,
to bait rats.
Mr.. Van Buren,, in the most courteous
and condescending manner, took down
Dutch Almanac, from whose title page it
appeared that it was calculated for the me-
ridian of New York, and would not serve

MEXICO. The Mexican Republic hay

states, each having its governor and local

A large coasting trade is employed be-
tween England and the opposite coasts of
France, bringing from the latter kingdom,
eggs, butter, vegetables, poultry and fruit.
The vessels bringing these articles are
from SO to 100 tons burthcn, and come to
England in one tide and return with the
next. In 1896, there were brought to En-
gland, in. this sort of conveyance from
France, Sirty-fre millions of eggs, the duty
on which amounted to E22,000. About
10000 tons of small shipping are employed
in trips to the Scheldt for cargoes of bones
to the amount of 100000 annually, which
are used as manure by the British agricul
turists.

STEAM CARRIAGE. An extraordinary
sensation was created on Thursday even
ing in the neighhorhood of the Regents
Park, by the sudden appearance of Cur
ney's newly invented steam carriage, or
self moving machine, which coursed round
part OF the new road at the rate of ten
miles an hour, carrying several persons in
side and behind. 1t seemed to move with
the most perfect case, and without any ap-
pearance of smoke whatever. The con-
d'tctsMr evidently held the carriage under
complete command; and whenever the
crowd which gathered about it became
troublesome, shooting away from them
with speed equal to that of mail coach.
