| 01FThe Pennsylvania papers continue TO expose
the fascies of those who support protective duties,
and they do it very efficiently The Western Press,
for instance, published at Mercer, notices Wing
statement that certain Iron-mongcr who had been
applied to by ship builders for their price of chain
cables lost the orders, because the builders found
that they could import the cables cheaper from Eng
land. This, the wing papers huzzn though
it would help them elect President in 49, For our
own part, says the Press think the iron-mongers
were sarved right" if they asked than 80 per
than these cables could be got elsewhere
next time they will know better how to put price on
their chain cables. Under the tariff Of 1912, these
chain cable men had protection of S57 on the hun
dred-by the tariff of '46, they have but $50. They
have pundered the ship builders, who had
vaing protection, quite long enough and can't say
that we are sorry these lost the profitable jobs
that were offered 10 them The wheat of the farmer
in the time goes forward to England TO pay for
these same cables,-and thus sum it up. The snip
builders have saved two three hundred dollars on
the operation-the government has gained perhaps
1000 in the shape of duties-the farmer has been
enabled TO send his produce abroad to pay for these
Cables and gets the cash in his pocketand the ship
that carried his flour and beef to England was paid a
fair price for freight. Who lost and who gained by
the operation! The cable maker lost good job,
because he asked too much for but the ship builder
saved, the farmer gained market-the government
received revenue-and the ship owner and sailor
secured employment and fair equivalent Huzza (!

''QUARTER."-A British ''quarter," an arithmeti-
cal term frequently used, especially in relation to the
grain markets of Great Britain is quarter of ton,
or $50 pounds. simple rule will explain the differ

barrel in sterling money. Multiply the price per
quarter by and divide the product by II the result
will give the amount per barrel Thus So shillings

INCREASE OF THE PRICE OF WHEAT AND CORN
The increase of the price of Wheat and Corn, says
the Baltimore Sun, caused by the abrogation of the
oppressive corn laws of Great Britain, if calculated
the entire produce of this country for the year
1885, supposng the produce Of those grains to be
greater than the estimated yield for lS45, will amount
to the enormous of $42 443, 700 That is to say,
the wheat and corn raised in the United States the
present year are worth about forty-tlco and hall
millions Of dollars more than thay were before the re-
rise of prceand the recent rise is clearly
butabe to the demand for breadstus in England and
Ireland So much for the removal of of the arbi-
trary restrictions of trade which shut the abundant
supplies of the farmers of this country, to the injury
of the starving millions of Europe that the few land
holders there might live in affluence.

There is evidently great excitement in the -four
