yards of cloth-that is, under the low tariff
have been increased so per cent, and the
weight of wool used 624 900 lbs. per annum.
In the frs: year of the tariff of 1912 there was
a falling off in production in printing calicoes,
and in The use of cotton. Business began to
revive in spite of that tariff; and when that
tariff ceased to act in 1916 the advance was
very rapid. Now. it is to be remarked, that
under the tariff of 1912 both employment and
wages decreased in proportion 10 the decline

"Sir. il ! had suspected twenty years ago
that should come TO nay death bed unpre-
pared, il would have made me wrelched

The Rev. Dir. made known to him the
assurances and promises of the gospel, that
mercifafy run par aflel with mars life.
Mr.. Polk then remarked, tina; he had been
prevented from baptism in infancy by some
accidental occurrence; that he had been
several times strongly inclined o be bap,i-
zed during his administration, bat that the
cares and perplexi;ies Of public life hardly
gave him time for the solemn preparation
requisite, and so procrastinaiion had ripen y
ed into inacIion, when il is now almost too
late TO act. ...

Am Englishman's description Of the

1t is true they are molly assembly:
but how could they be otherwise when

There is a representative from Maine;
his fresh complexion and hardy frame
bespeaking him from the north, where
his constituents are now clothed in ftirs
there again is one, from whose body the
hot suns of Alabama have nearly dissi-
pated all the juices, except that of to-
bacco, with which he is at this moment
overfiowing, behind him sits member
from beyond the Alleghanies-ay, eve
from beyond the Mississippi, in who's.
keen eye, wrinkled face, and general
quickness of movement, you can read
whole stories Of adventurous life in the
Far West; while close behind you is the
languid Carolinian, accustomed to have
every thing done for him at his nod And
what pages in the history of the Union
may be read in the varied physiognomy
of the house! In the assembly before
you, of two hundred men or Whereabouts
you can readily trace the dark hair and
eye, and the high cheek bone of the Celt;
the sleek and round contour of the Sax
on, the ponderous outline of the Dutch-
man, the phlegmatic temperament of the
German, the olive hue Of the Spaniard.
and the nimble figure of the Frank. It,
IS atrue reflex of the great mass without.
scattered far and wide for thousands of
miles from where you stand. 1t is at
once a-type Of the past and the future
of America. In the representatives Of
the American people you have an epi7
tome of the story OF their ancestry; and
a clue to their posterity. In one respect
the scene rises to the dignity Of moral
phenomenon. You have different races
with all their diversified habits, predllec-
tons, histories, creeds, and traditions /;
you have the representatives of almost
every country in Europe living together,
not a paralytic life, but life Of constant
industry and active competition, and reg
'ilating the political existence by the ma
chinery Of constitutional and democrat
ic regime. In one sense, truly, you have
