Occasionally we hear of wife being carried

but The practice in England is falling into dis

of manageable age. The most beautiful are

crafty themselves with handsome wives accord
ingly to the depths of their purses. There are
in Babylon some girls for which no bid is offered
yet these are also disposed of, so provident are
the Babylonians. When all the beautiful girls
are sold, the crier orders the most deformed to

WHAT THE BRITISH SAY ABOUT TIE
NEW TARlEE

From the Hamilton (Cunada wcsO Spectator.
THE AMERICAN TAR1FF.-The latest news from
Washington leaves the free traders of Canada little
to hope from the new Tariff bill. The measure is
violently opposed in the Senate, and If passed at
ALL it will be so modified that the difference be-
tween it and the famous Tariff of 1912 will be al
most lmperceptble.
Hopes were entertained and expressed BY THE
BRITISH PRESS, that when the Corn bill would
become law, the Government of the United States
would establish reciprocity of free trade meas
ures, at least as far as Canada is concerned but
Jonathan is too good fnancier, and sees a little
too far into the future, to be so easily caught.
But the hopes of the free traders of Canada
hare been gratiied; the Senate passed the bill and
Jonathan has once been "easily caught" The
Locos can see Cho are the friends of the new Tar
it, and if they choose to add still more to the graf
lcation of the free traders of Canada" let them
vote the Locoioco ticket next Tuesday. Nothing
would please the British more than a Locofoco tr-
umph in Vermont. If the Green Mountain State
should waver now, utter so long battling for Amer
lean independence of Great Britain, it would be
hailed as sure evidence that the British Tariff will
be sustained. Who is going to vote to please the
British?

LABORERS

Read the following remarks of Senator NILES
on the new Tariff, remembering that he is no Wing
panic.maker, but Democratic Senator from Con-
necticut.
On the 28h of July, the day the bill finally pass
ed, Mr.. NILES showed to postpone the bill until
the first Monday in December next" and on this
motion remarked:
"The Senator McDufie] says it will not affect
the laborers, the mechanics, nor the small manu-
facturers How does he know this I? tell him he
is mistaken; these are the very men on whom tins
blow will tall. You may diminish the profits oil the
LARGE establishments some but you cannot crush
them; they can stand by wording off the blow, and
transferring the sacrifice to others. They have
hundreds. and some thousands of laborers IN their
employ and they will save themselves by reducing
the wages of those in their employ. The blow,
then, falls directly upon the laborers' But now Is
it with the mechanics and small manufacturers
those who do their own work, ana perhaps employ
a few apprentices? They will not be able to sus'
tain competition with the large establishments
But why is this experiment TO be tried? To see
how much reduction labor will bear? is 1t TO car
~ out a theory? Is TO test The coId hedreSS mis-
cradle theory Of free trade "a theory 'ohch no nd-
ton on earth euer put IN p,dchce-a theory ,rh,ch

Madison signed the bill. Thus within ten days

ceived the assent of every branch of the Govern
ment. This was old fashioned anti British Democ'
racy. Just turn your eyes to the Congress which
has just adjourned; see it with one hand pushing

down the duties on foreign goods and you have

THE WAY THE LoCos ARE CHEATED.

THE WAY THE LOCOS ARE CHEATED.
In the Patriots table COPIED from the Free Trade
organ at Washington there are the following state
ments
Tariff of 40. Tariff of 49,
Cut or wrought iron spikes, l6S pr. Ct 30 pr ct.
Nail or spike rods, W 20
Plain moulded or pressed tuin-
blers l37 80 "
Treble ingram carpeling, rs 80
How enormously we are taxed by the abomnia-
bic wing Tariff for spikes and nail-iods and tum-
blers and ingram carpeting! shout the Free Ira
ders-and the ocos, who hear nobody else, swallow
it all Tor gospel truth. Now let us see how much
tqreS were paid for those articles in 1916 in the
whole United States:
The Value of spikes imported was 1926, & 16S
per cent IA lie tho to the tune o! rs per cent?
S626 is Sc3,6o
Value of spike g. nail rods 1929, on
which 90 per cent is 0I9,7l
Value o! plain tumbers $3.50, on
which 1877 per cent Is 52O,6O
on which 70 Ger cent is $500
So the enormous tax of 2a7,28
was all that was paid in the whole Of the United
States for these articles in the year 1915 Twenty
four hundred dollars and not quite that-have ac-
tuuy been paid by folk who ,oo,dd have the Brit
ish article in preference to better one OF yankee
manufacture So much for these enormous duties
and yet there are doubtless many honest !ocofocos
who are thus cheated into the belief that the coun
Try is pretty nearly ruined by the tax on British
spikes, nailrods, tumblers and treble ingram car
pelingsl Small business this for the organ Of the
national government.

THE OLD FLORIDA WAR GAME.

A New Orleans correspondent of the New-York
Commercial Advertiser states that the Government
has been engaged in the following steamboat spec
ulations:
Paid for steamer james L. Day for one trip and
detention at Point Isabel in all 80 days, S29,763.
The steamer Telegraph was sold last spring for
$4,000; the Government has paid her $1,000 per
trip for two three trips, and then purchased the
boat for S25,0OO
A condemned brig was bought for $1,000, and
in an hour afterwards was chartered to Government
for single trip for $4,000
No wonder Polk begins to think it best TO buy
peace" rather than fight for it with steamboats, at
ter six months ago.

MAPLE SUGAR

Folks Tariff is popular in the Island of Cuba |!

inent sugar planter in Cuba, dated Havana, July
1th, 1876
"Tho weather continues very favorable here for
the next crop, which promises to be very abundant
| pray God that we may enjoy the benefit of the
market of the United States, in view Of the modi-

GA statue of gold" to the author of that British
Tariff which the Vermont Patriot is calling upon
the makers of maple sugar to support The idea
is rich, and the Cuba planters can well afford to
make such a statue. This Tariff reduces the duty
on some sugar 81 per cent, and on other qualities GU
per cent.v In order that the Vermont sugar. ma
kers may see how this bill will encourage the i'm
portations of foreign sugar. we append a statement
of the sugar imported in 1885, under the Tariff of
~. and what the imports must be to produce the
same amount of revenue under the Polk Tariff:

EMPLOYMENT.

The following Just sentiment was uttered by Dan
iel Webster, in late speech in the Senate of the
United States on the Tariff. 1t should be had in
everlasting remembrance.
"Sir, | say it is employment that makes the peo-
pie happy. Sir, this great truth ought never to be
forgotten; it ought to be placed upon the ttepage
of every book on political economy intended for
America 1t ought to be placed in every farmers
almanac. 1t ought to head the columns of every
farmers magazine. 1t should be proclaimed every
where, Notwithstanding what we hear of the use
funess admit the high usetulncss-of cheap
food notwithstanding that, the great truth should
be proclaimed everywhere should be made into
proverb, if it could--that WHERE THERE THERE IS
WORK FOR THE HANDS OF MEN THERE WILL BE
WORK FOR THEIR TEETH. Where there is en-
ployment there will be bread. And in country
like our own, above all others, will this truth hold
good--a country like ours, where, with great deal
Of spirit and activity among the Masses if they can
find employment there is always great willingness
to labor. If they can obtain fair compensation for
their labor, they will have good houses, good cloth
ing, good food, and means of educating their fam
lies; and if they have good houses and good cloth
ing, and good food, and means Of educating their
children, from labor, that labor will be cheerful and
they will be contented and happy people,"
True-eyery word true: and now be it remem.
bered, that the British Free Trade policy, adopted
by Polk, is to increase the importations of foreign
productions at the expense of our own--to give
more employment to foreigners, by taking it away
from American freemen. If there is q spark of
patriotism left in any mans bosom, it will prompt
him TO put down this policy and all its supporters.

"BRApFoRD.-Woo The extensive sales Of

duction, which causes the business done to be linn
