WHEN the bill providing for
the fve.twenty loan was before
Congress, the Democrats there
voted almost solid, and secured
the passage of the section pro-
viding for the payment of The
interest in gold. A majority
of the Republicans voted for
greenback interest. All but
two of the Democrats voted
for gold interest. Now, these
blatherskites are gadding over
the country believing about
"gold for the bondholder and
rag money for the poor man."
Pendleton himself voted that
the interest should be paid in
gold. Now, he and his minions
have the neanness to go before
the people and try to preju.
dice them against the debt, be-
cause of the distinction which
the Democrats themselves
m ade.

The Virginia Democrats are
in favor of the Fifteenth
Amendment. The Wisconsin
Democracy are in favor of the
Fifteenth Amendment. The
Democracy of Mississippi are
in favor of the Fifteenth
Amendment. From the East,
the West, the North the South,
comes the intelligence that the
Democratic party recognize
the fact that the Fifteenth
Amendments is to become a law,
and they are coming out to Sc
cure the negro vote. The De-
mocIacy of Ohio stands forth
against it this fall, next they
will thank God that there is no
distinction in political rights
on account of color, just as
their party has done in Wis

Iris to be noted that when
free traders become manufac'
turers they change their views,
and are in favor of protection.
So also when men are engaged
in producing any article which
comes into competition with q
foreign one they become pro-
tectionists to this extent We
know wool.growers who are
free traders in every thing eA
cepting wool, for they claim
that foreign wool should be
subject to duty that they may
prosper in their pursuit. In
like manner importers urge
the benefits Of free trade, and
they make converts OF those
equally selfish with themselves.
Thus it is men form their opin.
ions according to what they
may think will be to their ad.
vantage, and they seldom ex~
hibit craftsmanship, which
may be defined to mean a con.
sideration of what is for the
good of the whole country
Should we manufacture within
ourselves all the goods we re-
quire, we would have a vast &C.
cession to our ranks, for it
must be seen that just in pro.
portion as we manufacture we
cease to have free traders
That our country would be i'm.
mensely richer in, whatever
constitutes riches, if we manu-.
factured our articles that are
made elsewhere, and at an
equal expenditure of power
and labor, no one should
doubt.-Ne,o York Tribune.

BY REV. G. a. WARREN.

SUGAR MAPLE.-l Aesr. SdcchartHan', ]
This familiar and beautiful
tree is sometimes termed Rock
or Hard Maple. 1t is quite
generally diffused throughout
the United States in the prim
itite soils OF New England as
we'll as in the Western and
Middle States it is very abun.
dant, in some districts consti.
tuting the greater part Of the
forest. 1t is a tree of lofty
proportions growing up de-
lighifully to the height of sew
enty or eighty feet, with a
trunk three or four feet in d.
ameter clothed with bark
which is Of a lightish gray color,
and usually rough and scaly.
Leaves are palmate, three to
FIVE parted, smooth, lobes
sharp, with coarse teeth. The
flowers are exceedingly abun-
dant, being suspended on long,
thread.like pedicels, and are
delicately beautiful. The seed
is contained in two capsules
united at the base, and termin.
ated in a membranous wing;
they ripen in the month of
October. The timber Of this
most elegant tree is both
beautiful and useful, for fuel
and mechanical purposes
From certain parts of the
trunks of aged naples, the
pretty wood known as Birds
Eye Maple is extracted, which
ia so highly priced by cabinet
makers. In the early spring,
holes are bored with an auger
in the trunk of this fine tree,
from which flows the sweet sap
known as sugar water, which
being boiled produces the de.
licious maple sugar and mo.
lasses. An ordinary tree will
yield from five to six pounds
of sugar in a season. In some
countries, the sugar and mo.
lasses produced by the Sugar
Maple is an article Of extensive
commerce. 1t is not only the
strong, beautiful, and compact
wood, and the sweet sap pro-
duced, which renders the su.
gar maple a tree of so much
interest; but its superior char.
acteristics as an ornamental
tree. It's very desirable land
even an indispensable tree in
the scenery connected with the
pleasure grounds, on ac-
count of the exquisite beauty
which its foliage presents dur
ing the entire season. In the
early spring it is exceedingly
gay when clothed with its
silky, pendant flowers, and dur
ing the sultry days of summer,
its deep green, Thick foliage is
lovely, but it is during the
fading days Of autumn that its
leaves assume an exceedingly
gorgeous aspect. AT the first
approach of the chilly days
and nights, we can just behold
bright yellow stealing grad
ually over its foliage, then a
deeper golden tint, then a few
faint bushes, until at length
the whole mass Of splendid TO-,
liage puts on one superb blaze
of crimson OR orange. .5-,..
"Tints that the maple woods disclose
Like opening buds or fading rose. o.
Or various asthose hues that dye H..
The clouds that deck the sunset sky"
1t has been remarked by one
who loved the varied scenes of
nature that the I. coloring
exhibited on many Of our fine
river shores in a warm dry au.
tumn, is Il perhaps superior to
anything Of the kind in the
world; and the leading and
most brilliant colors, namely:
orange and scarlet, are pro.
duced by naples. When this
tree has sufficient room to de-
velop itself it is an object OF
