QFPThe Kennebec Journal seems to have
condensed the argument, pro and con, on the
alleged tendency of Protection TO enrich par
tcular classes into very small compass in
the following paragraph:
WHICH IS BEST? The most common and
most popular argument against the Tariff OF
1912 is that it enables the manufacturing cap
italists' to make large profits. Very well: If
it be desirable to reduce these profits, there
were two ways ofdoing it, and the Polk par
ty have taken the worst way. The better
way was to let the law remain, and under it
a free competition would have rapidly multi
piled new works in all branches of mechani-
cal and manufacturing business, making great
demand for labor. This competition would
have equalized profits in business generally
The other way was adopted ofreducing du-
ties and inviting importations. This not on
ly stops all progress, all increase in domestic
manufactures, but stops the works altogether
in many places, and reduces wages every
where.
Which is the policy for the laboring man?

PorAro Rot. The old saying that sit is
an i'll wind that blows nobody good" has been
happily illustrated in the saving effect the late
continued dry weather has had OH the pota-
toes We have heard from more sources than
one, that the rot which was making sad hay
oc received sudden check during the inten-
sely hot weather, and crops that had been
given up for lost, promise good and sound
yield. Some ofour teetotal friends, however,
complain that their wells have refused their
wonted supply.-Northampton Mass Gaz.

The Foreign News.

The anxiously expected Great Western has
arrived at last-atter having been storm stay
ed aud weather beaten until her inmates had
well-nigh despaired ofever seeing dry land
again. She brings tidings of disaster and wo
to Western Europe in the failure of the Pota-
to crop and the efficiency of other Harvests
which are calculated TO increase the demand
for and enhance the price ofour own staple
products of food very materially.
There is great danger that the mad specu-
lations of last Autumn are to be enacted over
again, ultimately causing the bankruptcy of
very many who are now in comfortable cir
cumstanceS.
Worse even than this result is that passion
for gambling in the necessaries of life which
such tidings as yesterdays, such course of
trade as we are now entering upon, are cal
oulated to foster and inflame. Our people
will be tempted to forget that this European
demand for our Grain is not regular and
healthful but casual and fortuitous-- n con-
sequence not of growth and vigor but of dis
ease and atrophy. Hundreds will be sufiic-
iently unprincipled to say, Behold here n re-
suit of the relaxing of Tariffs in Great Brit
'ain and America! Behold the prices which
'our Farmers are to realize for their Grain
under Free Tradep These know well that
this is Just as much result of the modifca-
ton of Tariffs as of the ravages of the East
India Cholera; but the less informed thou
sands do not know it. They will calculate
that this British demand for Grain, being
caused by the New Tariffs, will be still great
err next year than this; the area sown TO
What will be rapidly enlarged, while our
Home Market for it will be narrowed by the
purchase in increased ratio of our Cloths and
Wares abroad; and the first good crop in Eu-
rope, if our own be fair also, will burthen our
farmers with an enormous surplus for which
they will find no market but at prices ruin
ously low. This is the result to which we
clearly tend-a precarious, gambling condi-
ton ofLabor and Business, in which the mass
of our Farmers will labor to produce crop
in doubt whether their recompense shall be
liberal, meagre or utterly wanting--an uncer-
tainty inevitably fatal to persistent, regular
Industry. We shall be agreeably disappoin-
ted if even two years pass without giving the
larger number ofour producers reason TO re-
greet the European scarcity of which the re-
suits are now hailed with such general and
eager delight. Meantime those who win will
laugh and cast apprehension to the winds.
We only ask them TO remember, or rather to
recall, our forebodings.-.M Y. Tribune.
