The Views of a Practical Man"~An
Appeal to the Working Men of the
Country. viii thew Listen !


The patient attention Of every Worbngman is re-
specially asked to the following communication from
Mr. WILLIAM RATTLE, Of Cuynhosn Falls. A
friend. who oncloses the letter Of Mr. II for publ
cation, says ''AIr Rattle is gentleman whose his
tory, character and situation entities his remuneration
to much consideration; and where he is best known
will receive most attention lie is mechanic-nn
industrious and practical raechanic one who, by his
superior Intelligence, penetration, and industry, has
risen from the honorable beginnings of personal eff
fort alone, to the possession Of extensive credit and
resources, and large and furnishing business n va
rious branches. Dy his saeacity aud energy he has
maintained his commercial standing through period
which has proved ruinous to thousands uf tho best
business men Of tho country, 1t is therefore a fir
and practical inference, that the reasoning which
would operate on the mind Of sach n man. in con-
sderng the bearing of the great questions Of national
policy, ought to operate upon the mind Of every prac
ucal mechanic and business man--and tina, what nr-
facs the interests of individuals and classes, 10y con.
sequence affect the interest of the whole coun-
try"
Without question, this is So The conclusion is
irresistible, that what PRoTECTs and citERGsiIEs
the INDUSTRY and LABOR of our own citi>eas,in
preference TO the industry and labor Of The cHiSeHs Of
foreign country, must be the true American Poll
cy-or, it follows, natural deduction, That ire at
tach 40 rGlUe 10 The recdrd of industry AT HOME,
amy than abroad-that pRorEcTtoN and Al
LEGIANcE do not go hand in haud-thnt arc
TAxED by own Government to sustain the labor
and the population Of foreign Governments There
is no getting rid Of this conclusion. The questions
of FREE TRADE and PROTECTION lsavo in
termedinto ground--no halfway house, such
Revenue Tariff. 1t is NOT Revenue for tho expcn
SEES of the Government, that seek, an indie
pendent nation, but PROTECTION FOR THE
PEOPLE. That constitutes the difference between
the parties ofthc present day. 1t is this difference
that the Wing party takes its stand 60 in for hner
can interests, leaving opponents TO sustain the
policy which commands the appreciation OF British
and foreign Governments.
1t the perception of this difference by Mr. Rattle,
tina; has induced him to change his party Support
MIR r. is extensively engaged in the manufacture of
leather, boots, and shoes. lie has, therefore, tested
the policy of the two parties, aud has chosen accord

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides are convert
ed into leather by the use of Tannin extracted from
certain banks, &c.
When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn
out leather becomes dead hard dry, brittle, cracked
covered with crust, &c. THIS ALL know To re-
store them life, softness moistness strength smooth
ness and ramove all crust, fly, or bliserrestore the
tannn This substance the leather never can receive
the second time but the whole virtues Of it arc in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
trates the saest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily with the
fingers, imparts at once strength that is utterly
incredible until seen. 1t becomes like new leather,
in all respects, with delightful sofness and polish
and makes all leather completely and perfectly i'm
pervous to water-paticularly boots, shoes, carri-
agetops, harness, hose, trunks and in fact all things
made of leather, giving splendid polish even high
err than new leather has, and at least doubling its
wear and durability in whatever manner the leather
is used. THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old shoes, groan with
corns ride with old carriagetops-have old harness.
and throw them away half used-look filthy them
selves and all about them--expend double what is
necessary for articles Of leather to thor hearts con-
tent, for what we care, If their prejudces are SO
strong, they will DOT try new discovery We have no
favors to ask of them they the greatest sufferers

n TT CANNOT BE DENIED,

i OR truth is mighty, that DR.. Leidy's SARSAPA-
RILLA is the purest strongest, and most eficacious
of any other preparation of Sarsapara that is made.
1t is warranted TO be stronger than six bottles of
most Others stronger than four Of some and stronger
than three of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States
Dr.. Leldy's Sarsaparilla is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.
All who have ever used it have derived more benefit
from one bottle than three to ten of others; and
those who, after having used other preparations with
out benefit, will use DIR. Leidys, will soon be
vinced Gas thousands have already been) of the fore
going assertion sly
The apparatus with which DR.. Leidy's extracts,
used in his preparation of Sarsapara prepared is
the only enc in the United States, imported by Dr.
Leidy himself from the celebrated house of Pelleer
s. Caventou, in Paris, at great expense, and is ca
pable of extracting the medicinal virtues of Sarsa-
paria and other roots more efectually than by any
other process.
AS several hundred certificates Of remarkable
cures, and recommendations from clergymen and
physicians have been from time to time published in
different papers, it only thought necessary to keep
the public acquainted as to where Dr. Leidy's Sar-
saparilla can be be obtained genuine, namely at DR.
