An Illinois paper has the following !:

Several fine stock, spring goods are now opening
, Se aJy.rtiseuen, in tbs paper. The staple article
OF these ocks mostly of domestic f
American calicoes be purchased al 70 cents %
jes which far better than the English article "hc soi
far iii cents las, year. Other American good, are much
lower thaa last yearese effects of The Wing Tar'f7
On this the Money Reporter of Bsnnetfs Her
aid {who is by far the ablest writer in that con-
Germ thus comments
The fac, of cheapcoods is cheering ]; is also true that
IL is the effect Of the tarn degree desperation has
beer, by preventing the proceeds OF foreign industry rom
seeking the exchange for It's produce SO to 'cPrt
the prices Of agricultural produce, that its growers have mol
had wherewhs bu, any thing aud The pncrs oi domestic
goods have fallen in consequence"
Ah neighbor, you can, creep out there! VII
you say that Tea, Coffee, and other articles Who'll
" Foreign, and on uhich no duty is charged, or
only a low one for Revenue, have fallen equally
with Domestic Goods Yon know they have not.
Yet If Free Trade were sound, and your reason
for low prices the true one, these should have ial-
len and Manufactured Goods been kept up by the
increased duties. And yet you know the iact Is
quite otherwise. And there is no mystery about
it. The Herald and The Tribune each afford an
immense amount of reading matter Tor small
sum, because they have a regular daily demand
for large editions. Change these to capriclous
demand for smaller editions, and we must ask u
sarecr price or give less matter tor the present
nr;ce. We should then bein the condition oil our
,nechanics, manufacturers and artisans whose
products, in the absence Of protective duties, are
elbowed hithcr and yon by foreign competition

EnpoRrANT CANAL MovEMENT.-SPc learn by
the Erie Pa) Observer that the citizens OF that
nlace had meeting on Thursday of last week,
and subscribed sufficiently TO the stock OF the
Company chartered to complete the Canal rom
Pittsburgh to that place to secure the prosecution
of the work. This is decisive step, and right
heartily do we rejoice thercat. For fifteen years
the State has been ftfuily engaged in construct
;ng this work, has expended enough to complete
II. and vet it is bat half done. Now the STATE
aespairing of raising the funds to complete 1t, has
,o,;ncu;shed the Canal to the citizens OF The
Yves, on condition that they finish 1t. We trust
they will speedily do so. Erie, especially, has
waited for this work, until hope deferred has
,nnde the heart sick Let it be completed, ana
she will rapidly take rank among the large COM
mercial marts of the Western Lakes.
STATIsrscs OF TEMrER.gcE.-Why do we not
have q Condensed Table Of the number OF Tenn
perance Societies in our City, Of their respective
members &c. &c.? 1t would be document OF
great interest, and would afford much encourage
ment to Waslingtonians here and every where.
VIII not some of our Temperance papers compile
such u table?
We have before us the Annual Report OF !.orln
E. Barnes. Secretary of the Marshall Total Alb
stnence Society. 1t is brief, and TO the purpose;
and we CLEAN from it that the Society has held
weekly meetings through the past year, has now
five hundred and eighty-four constitutional and
pledged members, (having con,mencca year
since with thirty ) has collected from them some
$500 in monthly dues, Sc during the past year,
and paid it out mainly in the dispensatlon OF
charity to suffering sick members, widows, or
piians Sc, and does not owe dollar.
During the past year, Members of this Society
have visited the Sing Sing State Prison and lee
tured TO its members, seven hundred of whom have
signed the pledge. Several hundreds Of the City
prisoners on Blackwers Island have also yielded
to the persuasons of Lecturers from this and other
Societies, and resolved to drink no more. Many
of the converts thus made in the Prisons have
since been released, and approve themselves So
Der, honest, industrious citizens
SO much for the doings of one Temperance
Society. Let us hear what they all are doing.
