entered public house in neighboring

tered a garrulous old man, who had done
his country some service in the. Revolu-
ton, with whom he fell into conversation.
-Fhe old man was poor, he said, and ex-

of George White, notorious thief, in
Worcester county, Mass. He was once
arraigned for horse stealing, and was shp-
posed to be connected with an extensive
gang, which were laying contributions on
all the stables round about. Many induce
ments were held out to White to reveal
the names of his associates, but he, MAIN

from the Court was al last obtained, that
he should be discharged. upon his reveal

THE GUN-COTTON.

The "Salem Observer" says, that a chemist in
Cambridge objects to the use Of the gun-eotton; that
il heats the gun too much on explosion to make II
safe to reload the gum and secondly, that it loses It's
virtue from being exposed to the light and air. As
to the first, our faithful correspondent in Germany
informs us that 'the barrel never requires cleaning
Forty shots, without intermission, have been made,
and without any percsptible accumulation of filth,
while the gun was, throughout, yJJrOm heat

this respect"
As to the second objection, we have received the
following statement from one Of the most eminent
chemists in Washington:

commissioners either cannot or will not push the

which was ready for their decision, except two;
which, as the determination Of them will govern

THE NEW TARIFF A SOUTHERN MEAS
r. ##1:n" .' IRE

| The protectionists who would establish an aris-
kocracy Of wealth, by compelling the people to pay
tribute to the manufacturers are calling to their aid
he sectional feeling which unfortunately exists be-
kween the northern and the southern portions of the
Union. Hence it is quite an ordinary thing to see
uhe tariff bill of 1916 denounced as a "southern
1measure"--a measure by which, as the wings say,
he southerner is endcavoring to place the laboring
nen of the north upon level with the slaves of the
1bouth. If the north shall oppose measure be-
cause majority of the south have passed it, the
souh because the north is favorable to it; or the
east, because the west has sustained it, we may ex
pect that our glorious Union, which was founded
upon compromise ofinterests, will be Of but short
8duration--it must be dissolved But why is this
new tarfflaw denominated southern measure! Is
sbecause il was passed by unanimous vote Of the
fouthern slave States or because il was opposed by
unanimous vote of the northern free Statesi This
was not the case. We find that two of the slave
States, Kentucky and Maryland, voted against il
lin the House, and some of the other slave States
lgave but small majorities for it, and in the Sem
ate we find four of the slave Sptes Louisiana, North
Carolina, Kentucky, and Maryland, unanimously
against it, and Georgia and Virginia divided on the
lquestion. OF the members from the northern free
states there we're ffty-one who voted for t-New
Hampshire going unanimously for it, and Maine
Is to one. Neither the north nor the south was
unanimous on the question, and yet the new tariff
rs called southern measure But there is a sec
rtlon OF the Union which was so unanimous upon
The question as to give il clear and indisputable
Inte to the measure. II is the west Not one OF
the free States Of the west voted against 1t. Mich
tgan, Indiana, and Illinois went unanimously for it,
hnd Ohio gave large majority in it's favor. This
unanimy would, we think, give the free States of
the west pretty good claim TO the honor Of having
passed the SOUTHERN British Jrte-trade tariff OF
1916! as the wings call it, But whoever heard
his new tariff denounced as western measured II
would be bad policy on the part Of the wings to
so. There is no prejudice existing with the PEG.
pie OF the eastern and middle States against the
western free States. Those States are settled by our
AoWn people. They were our neighbors, and but q
View years ago lived in midst and to say that il
- their measure, would not answer the purpose of
re tederalists. They desire TO make the new tariff
odous, by coupling il with the slavery ofthe south,
hence Il is called southern measure But in fact,
ss western measure--s measure supported by
snoss VINO but few years ago were our neighbors.

The specie of France is silver, and at England

leading commercial points of the United States, an
increase Of S660S7, 1897 reposing in bank vaults
It's to be further remarked, that at New Orleans in
1910, 16 banks held S3,l63,2 and in 1916, six
banks held the larger sum; and that the circulation
of the specie paying banks is $3,057,07l, or less
than half the specie that they hold The amount
of specie held by the Bank Of England alone
was, at the date of September 26th, SH1 900
less than it held August 29th, when it E16, 1885,,
S4s--the largest ever before known. On the Gath
October it was 9l4, 1893 1906 decline of 81 AL ,942,
or ~, 2O9, ITO, in 60 days. This great reduction
grew out of the disbursements Of the government in
Ireland, in the employment of the poor, where the
distress is greatest In such localities relief
mitees return to the board Of public works the
names OF those most destitute. These persons
are employed upon works by the job, and
the wages paid them weekly in specie. In
this manner $4,000 persons were at the latest
dates employed by the government, and the num-
Der was hourly augmenting. To meet their
wages and the materials used by them, the large
drafts were being made on the Bank of England, re-
sulting ns stated in the above decrease Of coin in
the bank vaults This is the operation Of the "spe-
Gle circular" principle extensive scale; but as
no souless, unprincpled partisans oppose it there,
il produces no uneasness in commercial circles. II
is however the case, that the government also buys
all the Indian corn which arrives out for the Irish
market, and the price is well maintained Now, if
these operations are extensive thus early in the
year, what will be their effect few months hence'
Not only are the Irish laborers to be paid in specie,
but specie is about to be sent this country in per-
haps large quantities; some has already arrived.
The specie spent by the government in the British
islands will return through the channels Of trade to
whence 1t came; and that which comes to the Uni-
ted States, fprompty coined and distributed by the
government, would flow to the remotest west and,
invgorating all branches of business, return with
tide Of prosperity to the seabcard or TO England, If
the wants of commerce call it thither As New
Orleans is, next to New York, the most important
commercial point in the Union, we may compare
the circulation and specie Of the banks Of the two
places for three periods as follows:
