The National Fair and the
Tariff.

Messrs. Editors:-I see, in the last
"Union." that writer / presume their
usual correspondent, the British agent
now in the Capitol) complains, not that
the goods exhibiting at the National Fair
are TOO HIGH, but TOO Low. He says
that they cannot be sold for the prices
marked, and invites merchants to give
large orders at these prices, and thus back
them out. Let them come on, and this
Manchester man with them, and the man.
ufacturers, venture to predict, will not
only fill all their orders but thank them
for their custom. But this writer inquiries,
when the American manufacturers can
supply goods at'lower prices than foreign
ers, why TAX the consumer! How! by
giving them goods at 'slow prices!" This
is strange taxation, but it is the way the
protective policy always has and always
will TAX the people, by giving them goods
cheaper and cheaper as capital is invested,
skill acquired, and supply increased
Repeal the tariff, check American COM
petition, get goods from abroad as former
ly, and these Manchester men will soon
put up their prices to former rates and
make their fortunes at our expense; and
this is just what they so ardently desire
to accomplish by breaking down our tar
iff. Will an American Congress crafty
them! We shall soon sec.
But the ''Union'' man inquiries, if we
can manufacture as cheap as foreigners,
why keep on the tariff! And | ask him,
if the tariff has, by inducing investments
and increasing supply, reduced prices to
one third and one-fourth of what they
were before, why repeal it, and thus check
further inves stments, further reductions of
price! Answer this.
But, says this British advocate, these
manufacturers are realaizing profits of
from 80 to 100 per cent. So much the
better, if, as he says, they are giving us
the goods cheaper than they can be made

Chemical Phenomenon.

In the town of New Berlin, Chenango
county, New York, and about three miles
north of New Berlin village, on the farm
of Mr.. Zalmon Hubbell, are two spots Of
earth, from two to three rods in circum-
ference, of dark color, somewhat rescm-
bling the bed of coal pit. The field
around is covered with cobble stones,
many of which, when burnt, become sand
stone. Whichever these stones are car
ried on to either of these spots of dark
earth, which they frequently are by the
plough, they soon, perhaps in few
months, assume the appearance of having
undergone the action Of re,and in process
of time become fully decomposed and
crumble away to sand. The earth IN
these places, little below the surface, is
of a redish yellow; bat when brought in
contact with the atmosphere, after a time
it assumes a dark color, resembling much
the appearance CT the bed of coal pit, as
above stated.
As the writer is neither a geologiss
nor chemist, he hopes hereby TO induce
some scientific gentleman to visit this
place, and ascertain the cause Of the above
phenomenon.

Foreigners In the Mexican Army.

Some considerable sensation has been
produced by the publication Of a Procla-
nation from the Mexican General, dlrec-
ted to the foreign born in our Army, and
inviting them 10 desert us for the Protce-
ton of Mexico. We arc strongly of the
opinion that the Proclamation as publish
ed is not authentic; indeed, it bears evi-
dent marks Of a forgery on its face. The
New Orleans Tropic refers to the appear
ance Of foreigners among the Mexican
troops, as officers and engineers, and ex-
presses surprise that any one should con
meet the nation with the individuals who
appear among the Mexican troops. 1t
then follows up the subject by saying
that ''it should be remembered that eve
ry country in Europe is military despo-
tism, and that there are hundreds of able
officers, who are by profession soldiers
that fight Tor pay, and are not particular
about the side they are on.as to the princi-
pies they contend for. This fact will ac-
count for the appearance Of French, Aus
trian, or Spanish officers in the Mexican
army. We understand, from good su
thority, that able European engineers and
officers are in Mexico, and constantly dis
placing the native officers.
The commander of Of the Sikhs, il
will be remembered, was a French Off
Ger ofvery considerable distinction in Eu-
rope, and the splendid park Of Sikh ar
tillery was commanded by French and
other European officers. We shall see
the same thing in Mexico, and the great
est talents Of our officers Will be called IN
TO requisition.-Reg. & Examiner.

abroad. For it is clear if they are reaIi-
zing such profits, capital, always watch
ing for the best employment, will soon
rush into this profitable business so fast,
and increase supply that the prices will
be so reduced that the profits will soon
come down to the ordinary rates of or
per cent. Repeal the protective tariff,
and you check all further investments
and secure monopoly TO the invested
capital. Continue or increase the tariff,
and you increase investments and compe-
tltion, destroy monopoly, and still more
and more reduce prices by still more and
more increasing supply, skill, and expe-
rience. Then we 60 for the tariff, to
promote competition, destroy monopoly,
reduce prices, and thus benefit the con-
sumers, whilst we increase the wages of
labor by increasing the demand for it, and
at the same time increase the prices of
agricultural produce of all kinds, raw ma
terials and breadsnfs, by increasing its
consumption.
Thus these anti tariff agitators arc do
ing every lflng Tor the invested capltal
by checking home competition and secu-
ring them monopoly of the American
market, whilst, on the other hand, they
are injuring labor by diminishing its en-
ployments, and depressing agriculture by
diminishing the demand for its produc
tions. The friends of the tariff arc,
therefore, the true friends of the FARMERS
and woRKINGMEN, while the opponents
& agitltors of the tariff are the real, ,thongh
CNINLENTIoNAL friends INVESTED CAPT.
TAI, by checking competition and secu-
ring them monopoly, while they break
down agriculture and the laboring man by
curtailing their employments and their
markets. Is not this the plain practical
opera ton and effect of the present course
of the anti-tariT party! l submit this
question with confidence to every farmer,
mechanic, and working man in the coun-
try; ).

OFFICIAL NEWS.

We learn that dispatches were recelv-
ed this evening from General TAYLOR, da-
ted the 3rd and 5th instant-both Point
Isabel and the fort on the Rio Grande
perfectly safe.
On the lst, the defences on the river
being made strong, (nearly completed
General Taylor left garrison Of some
five hundred men, under Major Brown,
of the seventh infantry, and marched
with the remainder of his army twenty
seven miles 10 Point Isabel. Not an
enemy was seen in the whole distance
All apprehensions for the safety of that
depot of supplies were thus dissipated.
But on the morning % o'clock of the
Sd, the enemy, from the side Of Matamo-
ras, opened heavy cannonade upon our
tort, which lasted with but little intermis-
sion till midnight. In the mean time the
enemy's guns (all but one mortar( were
silenced by our fort. Major Brown lost
one searg't killed, and not another man
wounded. Our gallant little band expec-
ted an assault from this side of the river
at the same time, and was fully prepared
TO repel it. None was made.
Matamoras was necessarily fired upon
in the ect of sinlencing the enemy's bat
teries, and also to kill or disperse the
troops therein quartered. The buildings
were probobly but little damaged. The
inhabitants, no doubt, had mostly fled be-
fore the commencement of the cannon
ade. What number of Mexican troops
were killed was only known by conjec-
ture; no doubt considerable number.
General Taylor, at Point Isabel, expec-
ted on the 9th to march the next day
with heavy train Of supplies for the fort
on the river, and thence to assume Otlen-
siye operations against the Mexicans; but
a private letter makes the probable conjec-
ture that General Arista had returned
with his regulars to the other side of the
river, leaving in the chaparrals only the
rancheros, his irregular cavalry. 1t is
not likely that he will re-invade Texas,
as General Taylor had received, or expec-
ted toreceive on the 9th instant, several
detachments of troops (regulars and ir-
regulars) from New Orleans.
The affair with Captain Walker Sex
an Rangers, as was represented by ru-
NOR, was much exaggerated. in the tenn
porary absence of that gallant and enter
prising officer, his company lost by a
surprise, but handful of men-6or 10.
Captains Thornton and Hardee and
Lieutenant Kane, all of the second dra-
goons, had arrived unhurt, prisoners of
war, at Matamoras, and reported them
selves to General Taylor, by letter, as
kindly treated.
In the cannonade, Major Brown, Cap
tain Mansfield, of the engineers, Captain
Lowd, and the garrison were all much
distinguished. General Taylor always
writes coolly. His march, when he ex-
pected TO meet three thousand Mexican
horse, was gallant enterprise. The
Mexicans have not probably had, good
and bad, four thousand troops OH the low
er Rio Grande.

AN INCIDENT IN THE
LIFE GENERAL SCOTT

The following incident is related by
the Biographer of General Winfield
Scott, as having occurred during the spa
triot Insurrection'' in Canada and on our
Northern borders.
Many days after the destruction of the
Caroline" writes the spirited biogra-
pher and historian( another steamer, the
Barcelona" was cut out of the ice in
Buffalo harbor, January, 1882 and Ia
ken down the Niagra river, to be offered,
as was known, TO the patriots, who were
still on Navy Island Gen. Scott wished
10 compel them TO abondon their criml-
nal enterprise. He also desired to have
them, on returning within our iurisdic-
ton, arrested by the marshal, who was
always with him. For this purpose, he
sent an agent to hire the Barcelona for
the service of the United States, before
the patriots could get the means to pay
for her, or find sureties to indemnify the
owners in case Of capture or destruction
by the British. He succeeded in all
these objects. The Barcelona proceeded
back to Buffalo, where Scott hadlmmedi
ale use for her on Lake Erie, yet nayiga-
bic in all its length. The authorities on
the Canada side were on the alert to des-
troy her.

phenomenon.

1t 1882, (says the Vermont Watchman,)
there were II flint glass factories in the
United States. As the tariff was redu-
ced, the number Of factories was also redu-
ced, until 1912, when there were but 5.
Since the tariff Of 40 was enacted, the
number of factories has increased to 10,
which consume annually SS00,000 Of
of coal, wood, lumber, slaves, hoops,
straw, iron, rosin, pearlash, lead &c,
(all of this is exclusive of the foodconsu-
med by the operatives,) and gives freight
enough for constant employment to 81
393 tons of shipping.
Since 1912 the price of glass has been
reduced % per cent, while the wages OF
the laborers have been increased in about
the same proportion. In this case 1t IS
evident that protection has cheapened
Q lass to the cosumers, while it has incrcs-
ed the wages of tthe makers-apparently
a paradox; yet such are the facts. And
why should it not be sol When foreign
manufactures had killed off IL out of our
IL factories, the way is prepared to IN
crease the price of their glass, and at
the same time when glass makers enough
to supply II factories, are forced to rely
for work upon only five, and these flve
doing precarious business, It IS certain
" reasonable to suppose that they cannot
command full wagess-reasonable, be-
cause they cannot have full work. The
foreign glass dealers are now fiatterlng
themselves with the idea Of again prostra-
ting American glass makers, by means OF
Walkers tariff. Said one Of them re-
Gently to Yankee glass maker-"t'ive
us that bill, aud we will soon stop your
fires for you!'
