The European Times states that the present year
opened, in England, with large demand for mig
lead for shipment to the United States, and that
this demand has steadily increased during The tvay
"This," adds the Times, els altogether novel fca-
turc, the United States, instead Of importing,
has for many years exported this metal"
Now why is this3 Why should it be profitable TO
the English 10 send lead 20 a country that contains
within its boundaries more lead than all the world
beside! Why should not the consumers of this ar
ticle obtain il from the mines of Missouri Arkan-
sas, Illinois and Wisconsin, thus favOring our own
home productions giving our western laborcrs en-
poyment, and sending the means Of support into
many western log cabinY Simply, because our
late government, in its false and suicidal policy,
blind TO the interests Of producers, and %
the effect Of that policy upon national employ
mcnt and national prosperity, have regarded only
their own political aggrandizcment, and have re
fused TO sanction the Uwards of industry by pro
tectivr tariff IL stands with lead it does with iron
The producer, at the west, cannot compete with
cheap foreign labor, and he, well the iron
ter OF Pennsylvania, must suffer- because he cannot
bring his lead into the coast markets chca DIV
as that which is dug and prepared by the pauper
labor Of England. Is il wonderful, them that there
is call from many parts of the land for an al
craton Of the English tariff, which ruins the profits
Of 30 many articles in their progress from the raw
material TO the workshop, which dcprves the Ameri.

USE OF CHLoRoFoRM.-Dr. Parker performed the
painful operation Of cutting out the great toe nail
at the roots from the foot Of young woman at one
Of his recent eiiniqIes in Crosby street. The pa
tcnt was under the influence Of chloroforIn fhc
foot greatly nfamed, and the operation did
not occupy two minutes. The patient moaned as
if in troubled sleep, and made strong exclaIna-
tons number of times, yet the surgeons were
confident she did not suffer any pain She was
removed from the apartment before restoration was
complete.
DIR. Mott restored tho contracted arm Of a Young
woman at one Of his recent cliniqes before the med
ical class Of the University on Broadway. She was
also under the influence of chloroform. Three weeks
previous, this young woman woke in the morning
and found her arm closed and benunbcd, appa-
rently as if her body had rested upon il. She could
not straighten II out and the effort caused extreme
pain. In this condition il remained two or three
weeks, becoming so rigid that nothing but force
could restore its natural action. The operation
was painful one. Yet the arm Strengthened
the contracted muscles extending, detsching them
selves from the icshy parts of the arm where adj
hcsion had taken place. The patient moancd lit
tic, but there was apparent suffering.
DR.. Mott stated last Saturday that lac feared cad
results from the base Of chloroform. A case had
recently come 10 his knowledge, professionally
where he apprchcnded il had been used for pur-
poses the most infamous, and with apparent sue
cess. Such gross abuse, he said, must be met
with tho seyerest legal punishment

late English paper (the European Trmes) states
that the present year opened with a large demand
for pig lead, for shipment TO the United States
and his demand has steadily increased during The
year "This, adds the Times, is altogether novel
feature as the United States instead of importing
has for many years exported this metal" II seems
by this paragraph that the miners of Missouri ss
well as those OF Pennsylvania feel the effects of our
free-tradc tariff. The lead mines of Missouri are
sufhciently productive to supply not only the de.
nands oil the United States, but even Of the whole
world Notwithstanding this fact, however, large
quantities OF TINS me tai are imported, TO come in d.
rect competition with our own products. Although
our mines are as easily worked, and productive
as those oil Great Britain, the latter send lead
10 this country, paying the expense Of transports-
ton and small duty, and compete successfully
with the products of American labor in American
markets.
The secret of this lies in the cheapnen of labor
Wherever skill, ingenuity, capital, each or all
combined is concerned, the producers of the United
States fear no competition. But they cannot com.
pete with the poorly paid labor Of those countries
where the laborer has few Of the comforts and none
of the luxures of fe but s forced to accept for his
services a sum barely sufficient to keep life in his
body The free trade policy of the Locofocos tends
to reduce the wages OF labor in this country TO a
level with the rates in the old countries The man
ufacturer and miner in this country, under the
present tariff, finds that his products must compete
with those ofthe pauper labor of Great Britain. He
must therefore reduce his prices, succumb under
the unequal and ruinous competition. Such IL the
practical working of the tariff OF 1876. II benefits

"Federalists," says the sole metropoli-
tan organ Of the Democracy, or mod
ern Whigs-who are the same thing-la-
vor extravaganza and profigacy in the ex-
penditure Of the public money" We
take issue with the Union OH two points
in this averment-Whig Federalism and
Wing extravaganza.
The question of Federalism was dis
posed of in the reply Of Mr.. Clay to Mr..
GRUMPY, in the celebrated debate on the
Protest. ''The causes" said the great
statesman of the West, "which pro-
duced the ancient divisions of the peo-
'ple into Federal and Republican parties
have long since ceased TO operate, and it
is ungenerous and unjust to endeavor to
preserve or afix the denomination for
party purposes. The Federal party was,
indeed, supposed to lean, more than their
opponents aid, to a strong and energetic
Executive; and in that respect the Admin
istration party of the present day may be
pronounced to be more Federal than their
opponents. The original causes having
ceased, the Federal party has divided
itself between the two parties Of the pre-
sent day. The better portion of 1t united
EwiH us, and the UorSt with The Senator
'and his friends. will add, that of all
the politicians in this or any other coun-
'try, some of the Federalists who united
with and adhere to the Jackson party are
the most detestabIe. They appear to
have cut themselves loose from every tie
and obligation, and principle, which
should bind men TO society and their
Z countryp'

ical fact,'' it is the hatred Of the Federal
lists towards john QUINCY ADAMS. They

Charlotte Lindsay was extensively known for her

An old Relic.

Among collection Of the remains of the past
which we have preserved in our sanctum, we find
the following poem by William Cullen Bryant 1t
is entitled code sung at the celebration OF indie
pendence at Northampton, July 4th, 1912"
We have long been an admirer OF Mr.. Bryant's
poetry and have ranked him the first Of the liv-
Ing poets of America; and we have no doubt that
posterity will award him that honor As politi-
clan, at the head of the New York Evening Post,
he has been more observant of the ordinary claims
of editorial courtesy than most of his Loco brethren
though until of late he has been very bitter in his
opposition to every Wing measure. His efforts for
the year past i'll the cause of freedom deserve high
commentator, until he otiiciated in the late "wed
ding of lust and shame" consummated in New
York
This early poem of Mr. Bryant's bears strong
marks of the subsequent great powers of his intel
lect, and affords indication that "the boy is
father OF the man." There is the same simple
spendor of imagery, the same remarkable conden-
saton of thought, the same terse sententious mode
of expression, which characterize his more mature
efforts 1t written in period of great political
excitement Just after the declaration of war, and
when the Fderalists and the Peace party generally
had set up Dewitt Clinton To oppose the second cleo
ton of James Madison.

bodies. Remarkable as is the small density of all
the colossal planets which farthest from the
sun, yet neither in this respect can recognise
any regular succession. Uranus appears to be
denser than Saturn. and Though the inner group
of planets differs but little from each other in this
particularly we find both Venus and Mars less dense
than the Earth, which is situated between them.
The time of rotation increases on the whole, with
increasing solar distance; but yet it is greater in
Mars than in the Earth, and in Saturn than in Ju-
piter. After other remarks of the same character,
he adds The planetary system, in its relation of
absolute magnitude relative position of the axis,
density time of rotation, and different degrees of
eccenricity of the orbits has, TO apprehension,
globe, the CONFORMATION of continents, or the eeva-
ton Of mountain chains. No general law, in these
respects, is discoverable either in the regions of
space in the irregularities of the crust Of the

finally said that il Rector would come 10 his rooms
in Norwalk, and the speculation would paw. per

Rector came and explained the whole details of
the business to Bowen and Ely, when the former
drawing a six barrcled revolver from his breast
informed the bogus gentleman that he used Thai
instrument TO put Weight into the COIN
Rector acknowledged that the marshal carried
too heavy metal and one too many guns for him
and surrendered. Soon after this Ellis came in
and inquired Of Bowen where his friend Rector
was.
