CORRESPONDENCE OF TnE PILOT.
HAyRE DE GRACE, June 14th, 1910


DEAR SIR,-I regret to inform you that an in
jury of such character, to interrupt the ma
.vigation of the Tide Water Canal, for two or
three days at least, happened last evening at
one of the locks. 1t appears that boat was
about entering the lock, four miles from here,
when person standing by one of the gates, inn
prudently raised the wicker gate so suddenly,
as to admit large body of water into the lock
impetuously, the force of which was too great
for the strength of the opposing gates, and four
out of six were Immediately swept away The
damage is estimated at about one thousand dol
lars. A large number of hands are busily en-
gagged in repairing the damages, and it is ex-
pected the injury will be so far repaired as to
admit the passage of boats by Thursday.
A number of boats freighted with flour, wheat,
whislkey, coal, iron, and other products of the
r1ch and fertile fields binding the river Susque-
hanna, are detained above the place where the
accident occurred.
The vest importance of this canal is far from
being appreciated at the present moment. Fur
nishing as it does great highway for the trans
portation of the immense and valuable products
of the rich country through which it, in connec-
ton with the Pennsylvania, New York, and
Ohio improvements, pass to market, its i'm
portance cannot long remain neglected even to
the most limited comprehension.
1t will, however, require some little time be-
fore trade will be diverted from older channels
into this but that it is destined to seek this
nue., no rational mind can doubt and it follows
as natural consequence that the town OF Havre
dc Grace viii obtain in a short space of time, a
high rank, as place of commercial business
Nature has done much for her. Art has also
been brought to bear, so as to turn her natural
advantages to important consequences.
Her onward career, however, in great mea-
sure, depends upon the efforts of her own citi-
zens. They must not, too confidently, expect
aid from abroad. They should put their own
shoulders to the wheel, before they cry to Her
cules for assistance; if they do so, harvest OF
golden prosperity is in store to crown their en-
tcrprise.

MISCELLANY OF VERSE AND

PROSE, by G. Fl. Calvert, Esq, author of Goa
biro," "Count Julian" SC.
This is an exceedingly interesting little vo-
lume, OF about fifty pages, containing some of
the choicest selections of the poetical and prose
writings of our highly gifted townsman The
first article is dramatic fragment, entitled
"Arnold and Andre" The patriotic emotions
engendered by the subject, have given life and
beauty to some of the finest creations of the au-
thor's muse. The fragment is made up of dia-
logue between Sir II. Clinton, Col. Robinson,
of the British army, and old English soldier,
who had been with Washington, in the previous
wars with the Indians. Mr.. Calvert says,in his
preface, that esthe attempt to work an historical
drama out of Arnold's treason, exhibited to the
author the barrenness of the subject for dramatic
development and as he therefore almost des-
pairs of accomplishing his original design, he
republishes the fragment 1t is to be hoped
that he will take advantage of the doubt implied
in the above remark, and not allow the almost
to become certain The rest of the work is made
up of short poetical articles, literary reviews,
and terse sentences, and we invite our reading
readers to devote an hour to its perusal. Mr.
". Hickman, So Baltimore street, is the pub
Usher.

SIR,-In your City Court Record of yester-
day, find the following, embraced in the report
of the State vs. Pickett.
Mr.. Wallis, for the State, remarked that
the evidence was hardly strong enough to con-
Wet him, and the jury brought in verdict of
not guilty"
You will oblige me by stating that the case
was not at all argued before the jury, having
been submitted without argument, at the request
OF the prisoners counsel, and that no remark
such as the above, was made or limited at by me
during the trial. Very respectfully,
s. TEACKLE WALLIS.

GRIND DOWN THE LABORERS.
A MEDLEY For WORKING MEN.

Suppose a aborng man receives one dollar per
day, and on the suppositon that it requires three
Jo,trthS of that sum to support him, how much
does he save? Twenty-Five cents per day.
Reduce the price of labor TO fjty cents per day,
and how much would he save? IL l.2 cents per
day.
Reduce it to ttcenty; fue cents per day--and how
much would he save?, Cid cents PER day.
Reduce it 10 ttcelpe cents per day-and how
much would he save? 8 cents per day.
viii IA reduction Of wages therefore, benefit the
working man, ifeven the prices of other articles
should come down in proportion?
The price of bread stuffs does not depend upon
the reduction of wages under the Sub Treasury
system. 1t depends altogether upon abundant
crops, and foreign demand. If the price OF labor
should go down to 25 cents per day, and the crops
should fail, and the price of flour go up to 81 or
6 per barrel, how many days wages would it take
to buy barrel of flour?
The prices of Tea, Coffee, Medicine, &c. &c.
which the working men OF tins county now en-
joy and which are derived from foreign countries,
would not be reduced by the operations of the
Sub Treasury in this country, consequently the
workingman would be debarred the use Of these
necessaries or Injuries of life. if you may call
them, under the system of low wages recon
mended by Van Buren, Senators.
If poor man is in debt now, and you reduce
the currency of the country TO the hard money
system, who is benefited? the rich man to whom
he owes the debt, or the poor man who has TO
pay it? In paying debts, u dollar under the hard
money system is only worth dollar to the poor
man-but under the same system it is worth at
least four dollars to the rich man who receives it,
If farmer a. owes farmer B. $500 on his farm
with wheat at 81 per bushel, 500 bushels OF
wheat will pay Farmer b. = but if tie Sub treas
ury system reduces the price of wheat 10 25 cents

The policy of The Administration to cripple the
