at the charges in protectionist organs that free
traders are bribed with British gold, by saying
this in behalf of Garrison who is now laborer
in the cause:
Not all the gold dug from the mines of Cali
fOrnia and those of the Ural Mountains,
though to these were added all the diamonds
foun1 in Brazil, and all the pearls gathered
by divers on the floor of ocean in the Orient,
could tempt that man to espouse cause
which did not seem to him absolutely Just.

A spsague Hssue-Emsland Threatens


The cable gave no idea of the explosion that
followed the reception Of M Summers speech
in England. There has been nothing like it in
this generation. II the Brittons don't get
cooled off little before Mr. Motley arrives
there, he will not be received cordially. It is
represented that not one of the journals that
took our side during the war is with us now;
all are thoroughly English on the Alabama
question, even the News and the Spectator.
Not one of the public men whom we have been
accustomed to count as of our own brotherhood
almost as much as if they had been born on
our soil 10 with us now. An intelligent cor
resnondent saws that he does not know even
one prominent mar who is able to ignore his
English prejudices so far as to be able to see
any reason in our claims as authoritatively
nreseLted by Mr.. Sumner. The Pail Mall Ga
zette, representing the landed aristocracy Of
Great Britain, rejoices that Mr.. Sumner has
made his speech, first, because it will open
Englishmen's eyes to the extent of the Amer
lean claiIhs-e5O0, 900, 600, according to its
method of reckoning-and second, because it
will Strengthen the hands of the government
in declining to negotiate any further Nay,
IL goes further and says thing bolder than
any English journal has dared to say for many
years, viz: "The paramount considerations
which should govern the present policy OF this
country towards the United States, are the
fditslessness of further negotiations, and the ne
cessity of being prepared for soar''
On our side there is the same unanimity,
with the exception of an inconsiderabe unit
of sovereignty in the person of McCreery, OF
Kentucky. Public feeling is squarely up to
the mark of Mr.. Sumner speech. 1t has rare
Iy happened in the history of the world that
statesman has so successfully embodied in a
speech the precise state of mind OF national
constituency. There is, therefore, definite
issue between the two countries, each being for
the moment firm and defiant. In this country
the number of people who are anxious to sub
nit the dispute to the arbitrament of war is
small Our people prefer rather to rest their
case on its intrinsic merits, leaving England
either to make reparation when she at length
realizes her error, or to take her chances of
suffering the consequences of her wrong-doing
in any difficulties in which she may be involv-
ed hereafter. On the other hand, some author
tiles hold that the governing class in England
is rather inclined to encourage quarrel with
the United States, chiefly because it is becom-
ing more and more necessary to find some ex-
cuse for keeping up the immense military es-
tablishment OF Great Britain. Besides, John
Bull is as reluctant 10 leave the United States
in readiness to take advantage of his possible
preoccupatien in other quarrels hereafter as he
is to settle our claims. So the matter stands
at present, and such is likely to be the situation
till our new minister makes known the pur-
poses of his government officially and receives
the reply of the British ministry.

WHEN business men can have their business
needs supplied as well and as cheaply at home
it is not business-like to send abroad. All sue
cessful cities and towns ''patronize home in
dustry." Their people do not believe in the
suicidal policy of help build up the business of
distant aud it may be riual city at the ex-
pense of their own. They realize that their
own interests are completely identified with
the business interests of their own place, and
they are too shrewd to send their patronage to
help the business interests of another. 1t is
sad mistake to imagine that our Deighbors can
not serve us as well as strangers in a distant
city. Merchants of Portland who get their
Printing done in Boston because they imagine
it is done cheaper there, hardly realize that
they are setting bad examples and injuring
their own business. Their own customers,
following their practice, imagine that they can
do better in Boston, and do likewise. The
Monitor Printing Company are determined to
give them no excuse for sending their patron
age away, and have completed their arrange
ments for supplying their customers at the
lowest Boston rates. They are determined not
to be beaten. Read their card inanother col
umn, and give them call.

Survey of the City and Harbor -Don's
Remove the Signals.

Survey of the City and Harbor -D0ns
Remove the Signals.
The United States Coast Survey has already
commenced operations with the view of COM
pleting this season the physical survey of the
harbor and its adjacent waters in connection
with which an accurate typographical map OF
the entire city and suburbs will be made upon
large scale, which will be of great perma-
nent value for municipal purposes and for
which the City Council of last year made an
appropriation.
In the survey of the harbor data will be OBJ
tanned by a scientific commission for the de-
termination of all questions connected with
its ultimate improvement and preservation,
and the futute possible occupation of flats.
In few days signals will be placed on all
the commanding elevations in and around the
city and upon wharves and the shore line OF
the harbor and its adjacent waters. When
the surveys are completed the positions of
these signals will be secured by small stone
monuments or by other sufficient marks which
will serve hereafter as permanent points of
reference. The surveys will be based upon
the positions of these signals which will be
accurately determined by triangulation.
1t is earnestly hoped that these signals will
not be disturbed by the citizens and that as
their use and Importance is now known and
appreciated, the gentlemen engaged in the
work of the surveys will not be delayed and
put to no i,aconsiderable additional expense this
year, as last, by their frequent and persistent
destruction or removal.
The parents or guardians of the youths who
found amusement in this practice should bear
in mind that it is venal offence to injure or
destroy coast survey signal.
We are assured that no intrusion upon pri-
vate grounds, not absolutely essential to the
prosecution of the survey, will be made by
the surveyors or their employees.
