THE BRITISH CANDIDATE.

we rejoice to hope that the difficulty in which he has
sought to involve his and other countries, will
melt before the courage and fthe Senate, and
the moderation of more respectable candidates for

Such is the language of the Times in opposition to
the annexation of Texas.
The hopes Of England during the last war, were
placed the I" impotence" of our Government and on
the Hartford Convention Of New England Her
hopes now rest on the impotence" of our Govern
ment and the courage and sense OF the Senate, y
and the success of their candidate for the Presi-
deneyn -
During the last war, the avowed purpose of the
Federal party was to secure that political indcpen-
jence in the councils of the Union which they claim
ed to be due to their population, wealth and physical
strength their object now in opposing annexation
is to diminish the political influence of the slave
holding States their reliance then, now, was in
the cooperation of England, and the hopes of Eng
land then as now placed in the reasonable sub
serviency Of the Senate and the election Of more
respectable candidate for the Prcsidency.l They
were defeated then, and they will be defeated again
The policy Of England always is to divide and con-
quer. 1t thus that Pizsrro subdued Mexico-,,
was thus that Hastings conquered India. II is with
native troops-by arraying nation against nation

METALrzED Woops RAmRoAps-Atenti
has lately been attracted to invention for metaliz-

Commerce

patent has been taken out for ing il into iron

pared Will not be subject 10 rot decay of any
kind. This, time will test If this proves true, the
invention will be Of immense importance TO the Uni
ted States, where timber is yet plentier, and iron
scsrcer han there. The process of preparing the
lumber Is simply this: I he pieces, ter having
been fitted, by the carpenter q joiner for their pa-
ces, are introduced into immense iron cylinder
which is then exhausted by an air pump A solution
of sulphaie of iron is then injected, which immedi.
atcly enters into the exhausted pores of the wood
The wood IS then withdrawn, and again placed in a
similar vacuum IN solution of muiiale Of lime
which, coming into contact with the suphate of iron
within the wood, deco poses it, and forms an nsolu.

$500 Some Of the greatest engineers have express

Having shown the capacity for increased consump-
ton from the great actual increase which has taken
place for q series of years, there doubt
that it would be still more greatly augmented by
reduction of duty.
The Intelligencer does not believe "that any Ger
man, even the poorest laborer, would smoke any
more tobacco, because he could buy pound of it for
cent less than he had been give for
1t" If he will not smoke MORE he will smoke bet
ter qualify is this all the reduction in price to be
expected from reduction Of duty Besides other
influences, the manufacturing competition would be
increased 50 much to lower the price much be-
yond one cent per pound. There
upwards Of four hundred tobacco manufac-
tories in the Zoll veren, and their number is
daily increasing since Bremen and Hamburg, whose
chief industry hitherto consisted in the manufacture
of tobacco can no longer import as all manufactur-
ed tobacco must pay high duty in the Zoll Verein,
near 100 per cent more than leaf tobacco. There
is doubt but that the Of the better and lighter
American tobacco would, to great extent be sub
stuted for that of the coarse, dlsagreeabe and
healthy home production, and it is from this side that
the treaty has met with the strongest oppos ton in
Germany, and that its rejection will probably be
least regretted. Thus, in 1899, the consumption Of
