FARMERS THINK OF THISII

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, af>
ter statement from this paper relative to
the amount Of cotton and other manufactu.
res exported from the United States to Chi
ma, very pertinently asks: e Ere u.
"How many barrels of American flour,
beef, pork, lard and butter were. sent to
China as a component part of the above

Ponent part of the lead, razor strops. &c.

fostering influence of the Wing Tariff
Would a single particle of these agricultu-
raj products have been sent to the Celestials,
in the shape of breadstuffs and provisions !
In the name of common sense then, tell US,
who can, why our farmers are not most
deeply interested in sustaining domestic
manufacturers. and the protective policy?
Yes--sure enough-why are not the far
mers more interested than all other classes
in the preservation of the tariff Every
man, woman and child engaged in manu-
factures in this country, consumes every
year many dollars worth of the farmers pro-
ducts. If these persons were not engaged
in manufactures they would in all probable.
ity be engaged in agriculture, of course
they would not need the products of other
persons engaged in the same pursuit. Con-
sequently the farmer would be deprived of
a most valuable market. If he could send
his potatoes, wheat, oats, rye, corn, turnips.
beets, carrots. hay, beef, pork, mutton, veal,
poultry, eggs, butter and cheese, to Europe,
and dispose Of them there, he would not be
quite so badly off if the home market should
be destroyed. But this is impossible. A
few barrels of wheat, and few pounds of
pork or butter and cheese is all that he can
dispose of abroad, and these only at uncer-
tain periods. The English, French and
German farmers want their own home mar
kets for themselves, and their governments
have too strong sense of justice to throw
them open to foreigners.
Now, if the American farmer does not
have his home market secured to him, how
is he to live! And how can a home mar
ket be secured, unless by encouraging

Every yard of cloth which is made in
this country, requires for the sustenance of
those who make it, a certain amount of beef,
or other animal food, -four, potatoes and
other vegetables. milk. butter, lumber for
houses TO shelter them, iron to fasten those
houses together, leather for shoes and other
purposes, and variety of other articles
we have not room to enumerate. Now, all
these articles are the products of the soil
and those who own, and those who till the
soil, derive whatever profit is made by their
sale. Can il be doubted, then, that tariff

The BBLE.-The following passage from
Mr.. Webster's speech at Bunker Hill, de-
deserves to be circulated far and wide in the
journals of the country:
at has been said with very much verac-
ity, that the felicity of the American colo
nists consisted in their escape from the past.
This is true so far as respects political es-
adjustments, but no farther. They brought
with them. full portion of all the riches
of the past. in science, in art, in morals, re-
ligion. and literature. The Bible came
with them. As it is not to be doubted, that
to the free and universal reading of the BIZ
Bile, is to be ascribed in that age. that men
were much indebted for right views of civil
liberty. The Bible is a book of faith, and
a book of doctrine but it is book which
teaches man his own individual responsible
ity, his own dignity. and equality with his
fellow man."

of indians in the state of Ohio, have depar-

of three principle Chiefs, visited Columbus

beautiful address on the occasion, to which
the Governor replied, assuring them of
the good feeling ofthe people of Ohio tow

happiness and prosperity in their new

in the path to future happiness and honor
as man and citizen he despised all their

BREAKFAST & DINNER Hour In OLD TINES

BREAKFAST & DINNER Hour In OLD TIMES.
In the life of Isabella of Angouleme, who
was wife of King John of England, Miss
Strickland says" In the era, at FIVE o'clock
was tho established breakfast time and half
past ten A. M. the orthodox dinner hour,
for all ranks and conditions of men. The
Court were scandalized at finding that King
John never left his pillow till midday at
which lime his barons saw him, with con.
tempt issue from The chamber of the fair Is
abela. This mode of life made him far more
unpopular in the 18th century. than the per-
petration OF few more murders and abduc.
lions, like those which his memory stands
already charged"
