not less than fifteen millions Of dollars a
gear, equal to fully one-half the whole
product of cotton-the domestic con-
sumption being added to the foreign ex-
port. Before the Revolution, there was
a law OF the "mother country" that for
babe our hatters from taking more than
two apprentices, and certain regulations
by which the hatters of one "province"
were prohibited from sending their pro-
ducts into neighboring province. Such
was the early jealousy and rank monopo.
ly of John Bull-that our fathers might
be kept poor and dependent upon him
for all the necessaries of life which he
dared refuse, unless profitable to himself
in the supply: but our political Samp-
sons burst the cords that bound them. and

and the rest, however, saw that the 're-
rOtutiOn aCaS not orer," in the ACKNow-
LEDcMENT of our independence-they
knew that it could not be ESTABLISHED
except an The encouragement Of tabor and
ProW Of Productson, and hence the prompt
institution of many associations for the
consumption Of 'home made" goods
and we have the lofty authority of Mr..
MADISON for saying, that this purpose
twas the leading one that brought about
our federal union, and built up the pre-
sent constitution of the United States
and PROTECTION was extended by many
acts of the fast Congress.
We well remember when great ouan-
titles of English hats arrived at Philadel
phia-where "Engiish hat stores" were
pretty numerous-where large part of
the more wealthy class used English hats
and many ounces, who could not afford
1t, bought them, but after a while, pro-
tecting duty OF 30 per cent. was laid up
on hats, and n wholesome impulse was
given to hatting-the quality of our
homemade hats instantly improved, and
the quantity rapidly increased--so that
we now export many times more hats
than we import; which concIusireIy
shocS that the duty on this branch of IN
dustry has acted as BOUNTY mot as q

Tooth Ache.-Dr. Ryan, a physician
of great responsibility and extensive
practice, gives in the Medical Journal
for July the following interesting state
ment. A gentleman who attends nv
lectures (Mr. Myers of Newington-
causeway) frequently applied sui phu.
rIc acid to his tooth with some relief; but
on one occasion, he, in moment ICON
fusion, took down the next bottle to his
remedy, which contained nitric acid
10 his great surprise, he experienced
immediate relief. Since that period he
has not suffered from tooth ache, though
three years have now elapsed.-Dur
ing the last year he informed me of the
success of this remedy, which induced
me to try 1t, while laboring under the
most intense pain from tooth-ache. The
elect was Immediate, and no pain what |
ever was produced. | have since used
1t IN numerous cases, and invariably /
with complete success. In some instan- I
ces the disease does not return for many
days or weeks, and in others not for
months.-Ihe best mode of EMPLOYING
1t is by means ofhnt wrapped round a
probe, and moistcned with the acid
which is then to be SLOWLY applied TO
the cavity of the tooth care being
taken not TO touch the other teeth, the !
gums or checks. On withdrawing the .
probe, and inquiring how the patient
feels, the usual reply is, "the pain is /
entirely gone" The mouth is next 70 |
be washed with tepid water. The acid
should be gradually applied to the whole /
cavity Of the tooth, or otherwise a Sc
cond application will be required before
complete relief will be obtained. The
remedy may be used when the gum and
check are inllamed, so as TO preclude |
the possibility of extracting. In case
where the diseased fang remains, and
when the carries face the adjacent tooth il
obylates the necessity ofextraction i'm all |

TONERS declare to be desirable, if posi- !
