CAUTION FROM TIE AMERICAN WATCH Co.
1t having come to our knowledge that imita-
tions of the American Watch have been put
upon the market in great number, calculated
by their utter worthlessness to injure the rep
utation of our genuine products, to protect
our own interests and the public from lmpo-
sition, we again publish the trade marks by
which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The first has the name
"AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the Inside plate.
The second has the name
"APPLETON, TRACY & Co.. WalrhaIn,
Mass.," engraved on the inside plate.
The third has the name
''P. S. BARTLETT, WalGham, Mass - en-
graved ON the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
lean Watch Co. painted on the dial. and are
warranted in every respect
The fourth has the name
VIM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate aud Is not named ON the
dial.
Ali the above described watches are made
of various sizes, and are sold in gold or sill
yer cases, as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for as to accurately
describe the numerous limitations 10 WHICH
we have alluded. They are usually describ-
ed with names so nearlv approaching our
own as to escape the observation of the I'M
accustomed buyer. Some are represented as
made by the Union Watch Co., of Boston,
Mass. no such company existing. Some
are named as the SOLDIERS Watch" to be
sold as our fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usu-
ally known as the "Soldier's Watch" 9th
ers are named the "Appleton Watch Co. !"
others the 'P. s. Barley" instead of our
up. S. Bartlett :" besides many varieties
named In such manner as to convey the
idea that they are the veritable productions
OF the American Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particular
ly soldiers. against buying certain articles
CALLED watches, so freely advertised in illus
trated papers as Army Watches" "Oficers'
Watches" "Magic Time Observers" "Arca
ma Watches" &c., the prices of which are
stated to be from seven to sixteen dollars
A good watch, in these times, cannot be af.
forded for any such money.
A little attention ON the part of buyers
will protect them from gross imposition.

ject Evely man and woman seems 10 believe

sight Financial pauics are, and always must
be, purely and simply expressions Of want Of
faith in somebody's disposition or ability to

from the paying Of this great debt It will cor

The people are right in this matter, and take
1t up with q true appreciation of the nature Of
the case that puts to shame the mere profess

opportunity to pay the national debt,
or, If not to pay the debt entirely,
to take out of it q very large slice.
We are quite ready to agree with those
who will cooperate to pay two thousand mil
lions, or even one thousand millions, II il is
judged better to do that than to pay the whole
debt As q correspondent suggests to-day, we
will be satisfied to urge only the payment Of 30
much as will relieve the country of the more
obnoxious features Of the internal revenue de-
partment That department is one abhorrent
to the nature Of every American. Only the
great necessities of the war ever induced the
people TO stand it, and now that we have peace

q marvel of corruption. 1t is to get rid Of that
and to tighten the burden Of the taxes that
bear 80 heavily on every poor man that stimu-
lates the people in this matter; and the govern
ment will be recreant to its duty if it do not
take this matter up and give to it all that is
necessary for success-that is, official character
and organization.

President Johnson's Foreign Policy and
the Policy OF EngIsnd.

the Policy OF England.
With the great triumph Of the popular insti-
tu.ions of the United States in the suppression
of the late rebellion, the question of the extern
sion Of the elective franchise has risen again
in the British Parliament In the outset tho
experiment of JEFF. Davis and his confederates
to establish by force of arms an independent
Southern confederacy was believed, accepted
and proclaimed by the British aristocracy as a
deathblow to the previously powerful and
growing American idea of popular government.
The great model republic had proved failure;
had proved that popular sovereignty leads to
national decentralization, dissolution and
anarchy, and that the divine rights of kings
and ruling privileged class were necessary to
law and order. For nearly four years this sort
of reasoning, from the stubborn facts Of our
great rebellion, have kept the English masses
and the republican elements Of the European
continent in the back ground, and for timc It
appeared as If the clock of the worlds political
progress had really been put back for half q
century. With the suppression Of Jcf. Davis
and his Southern coniederacy, however, the
cause of popular rights in both hemispheres
has gained an advance Of half century.
Hence this reaction in the British Parliament
in favor of the masses of the people and against
her ruling aristocracy. The movement, thus
revived, will now go on with On irresistible
force from the British Islands to the Black Sea.
The great American republic has passed
through the ordeal Of gigantic civil war which,
under similar material disadvantages In the
beginning. would have swampcd the most
powerful European monarchy; and from this
imposing fact II will be held that our popular
institutions are equal to any emergency and
any trial of their strength. The presspte Of
this general conviction will soon be felt over
all Europe; and If the ruling aristocracy of
England would not be overwhelmed in the
revolutionary reactions that are sure to come
they will drop their alliance with Louis Napo-
leon and form an alliance with the United States,
tnent
The conduct of England towards this coun-
try and the Unisn cause, through all this late
struggle, has been tcmporizing, deccitful and
dsgracefrl. But she has exhibited, for all that,
the highest sagacity in avoiding an entangling
alliance with Louis Napoleon, and In rejecting
oil his advances for active Intervention
in our domestic affairs In the recep.
