Let us return for moment to what Is
called "the protective policy" The Lynn
shoemaker clamors for protection, tor high
duties 10 diminish foreign imports and Sc
cure 10 him the monopoly of the home
market. If he can only exclude French
shoes, he shall then have this monopoly.
Very well. Where does he, and wha.
must he, find the principle market for his
shoes! South and West. The value Of
that market to him then, will depend on
the ability Of the South and West to buy
shoes. Whence this ability' It depends
of course, on the ability of the South and
West to sell their own productions. The
principal market for western produce is
at the South. The ability Of the West
10 buy Lynn shoes depends then, on It's
ability TO sell is productions 10 the South.
Whence, then, we mus. ask again, the
ability of the South TO buy western pro-
ducc and Lynn shoes! In its ability TO
sell its rice, cotton and tobacco to the for
cigner. Whence the ability of the for
eigner to buy the rice, cotton and tobacco
of the South to sell his own productions
OF manufactures TO US. Consequently, just
in proportion as the Lynn shoemaker
places an impeachment in the way Of the
foreigner selling TO us---does he place an
impeachment in the way of his selling lis
shoes TO the South and West. In pro-
portion as he secures. by prohibitory du-
ties the monopoly Of the home market,
diminishes its value, by diminishing the
ability Of the people TO consume. Hero
at best, he loses on the one hand all
he gains on the olher.-O. "A. Brorn-
son.

The ,guisri signal.

We hear Of late much said about mazzling the
press. \ few days since we received small
sheet by mail, purpor ing to be the Juliet Signal
extra, (prutcd at the whis Express Office III Chi
cago) which complained loud and long about the
treatment il had met with, aud severely censucd
Il portion of the democrats of Juliet for muzzilng
the PRESS The democratic candidate for con.
gross, also receives due share of the blame, and
we E.uch suspect that the whole affair is got up
merely Tot the occasion-to operate as an cleo
lIonecrng hobby for the wings.
As far as We can ascertain the facts in regard
to this lawful calamity they appear thus: a
short time since W. L. Little, Esq, purchased
out the interest of several stockholders in the Ju-
lict Courier, and commenced the publication OF
the Signal. The Mossrs. Allen had claim OIL
The press, which was in their building, and en-
deavorcd to prevent Mr.. Little from removing
it to another part Of the town. Severe words
passed between the parties, and we believe a
general melee cnsucl. When tho storm had sub
sided, it was found that portion of the printing
press was missing, which perhaps one of the
stockholders took rs his share of the concern.
The above is about the substance of the whole
affair. bu, various embellishments are put on 10y
the wings to give the story cilact. 1t so happen
ed that on tho evening of the difficulty Col
Wentworth passed through Juliet, on his way
from this place to Chicago. This accidental cir
cumsianco is magnlcd into crime and the
ostungenerous and underhanded means are now
attempted to be made use of to operate against his
election. Such silly flbrcations, however, can
have no effect on a true democrat, who loves his
principles and his country.

been accomplished in all preceding time
by all the heroes and orators of the old
world.
Among these revered remains of the
gallan, bands who fought, not for military
glory, but for human right and eternal
principles of justice, there were twelve
who. on the l7lh of June. l775, drove
back like chafr before the blast the stern
battalions of Brtains braves. troops, up
on the very ground on which they had
now met to celebrate the 6Slh anniversa-
~ of the battle. The eldest of these
venerable men was Mr.. Phineas Johnson,
aged 81. There were also present three
who were in the battle of Lexington viz:
Jonathan Harrington, 95,-Alpheus Big
Glow, IS; and Levi Harrington, SO years
of age.
Referring to the presence of President
Tyler, surrounded by his constitutional
advisers, Mr.. Webster said tina, there was
a happy propriety in his attendance on
the occasion. Well acquainted with the
field Of Yorktown, where the last great
battle of revolutionary contest was fought,
it was well. as chief magistrate of the ma
ton, that he joined in the celebration or
the field Of the first battle where one thou-
sand British regular troops were smit!en
down by the American yeomanry.

ycxt Congres,iounIC Convention.

Our attention has been directed to the resolution
adopted at the late congressional convention at
juliet, relative to the time Of holding the next
convention. The resolution as published in the
Chicago Democrat, and Juliet Signal, states that
June, 1915 This is a mistake. The resolution
stated s4i, and we so published it in this paper.

Important Ereniion.--Thc New York Tribune
states tina, Mr.. Arasmus French of Springfield,
Conn, has, after much labor and study, invented
a rotary knitting loom, Which knits stockings and
hosiery of all kinds Of perfect shape without seam
or blcmish, With a rapdi,y and cheapness hi,her-
to unparalleled Each machine viii knit one
sock per hour, while the girl can easily tend ten
machines, and five hundred machines may be dri-
ven by one horse power. The Rev. John Pier
pont declares it tho greatest mechanical invention
Of the age. Unlike the clumsy and cumbrous
stocking machines of former days, 1t weighs but
three pounds, aud may be placed on the centre Ia
bio of any lady's drawing room. 1t will knit
cotton, wollen, silk, or any fabric, from tho fines,
to the coarsest. a disnteres,ed friend of tho Tri-

Olympic WA late New York paper tells
the following: "a funny incident occurred at
Mchell's Olympic a few nights since, which set
the house in an uproar. 1t was the benefit of Mr..
Raymond, and at the close of the performance
some ll-disposed brute in the pit threw calrs
head on the stage. The friends of Raymond i'm
mcdately redoubled their applause, and insisted
on his appearance before the curtain. Mitchell
came forward at last, and, in neat speech, in
formed the audience that Mr. Raymond had gone

Scarcely were the prisoners above mentioned

examination IL was found that hole had been
made through the west wall of the prison, a few
inches above the surface of tho earth The labor
ofbreaaing the wall was performed in the privy,

Irish Repcak-The news brought over by the
Acadia Of the great excitement in Ireland on'thc
subject Of repeal Of the union between that coun-
try and England, appears to have given new I'M
petus to the cause on this side of the Atlantic. A
tremendous meeting of the friends of the cause
was held at Washington Hall, in New York city,
on the 9th inst Hundreds went away unable u
obtain an entrance. The time, from 8 to 10 o.
clock, was occupied entirely with receiving con-
ributions. Not less than 500 was collected, be-
ing the largest amount eyerconrlbuted by sin
Clio meeting on this side Of the Atlantic. Another
meeting, equally large and enthusiasts, was held
at the same place on the night of the l2Ih.

A greater gathering of people there
never was on any one occasion in this

Those martyrs there in peace shall sleep,
For thou, o God shalt guard their bed.
