The reason is plain, we can make our own,
and the foreign manufacturer is obliged to
sell to US at reasonable rates or We will not
buy, Our own manufacturers by business
competition are compelled though protected
to sell at reasonable rates. Let farmers re-
member that their reapers and mowers,
their scythes, axes and every implement
into which steel enters is cheaper to-day
because protection to American industry
has reduced the cost of steel. The same
rule holds good in regard to almost every
manufacture. The farmer not only gets his
goods cheaper, but the presence Of manu-
factures gives him better market for all
the produce of his farm-all the result of
protection. Let him remember this when
Democratic politicians preach to him the
fallacious sophistries Of free-trade. Practi-
cal experience always has and always viii
condemn free trade, while it commends and
proves the benefit of protection.

The Iaarrectio1a--A omter-Recolution
imminent
WASHINGTON, " April 2S.--Important Off
clal information has been received here from
Cuba. For some time it has been kaown TO
the authorities that the volunteers in Cuba
were IN reality the party In power, and have
forced the Spanish authorities to comply
with nearly all their demands Intelligence
now comes from Havanah that conter-re-
Volutlon is sure to break out within brief
period of time, the volunteers being deter
mined to wrest the island away from Spain,
and make it an independent province. 1t
has been thought hare, in diplomatic circles,
FOR three months, that counter-reyolution
was sure to take place, and the news re-
eelyed to-day il but a confirmation Of such

FRANCE is agitated over the plibescitum,
election. to be held to morrow The osten-
sible object Of the election is to give the peo-
pie the privilege to decide upon their gov
ernment, but they are in reality only to be
permitted to say whether or not they ap-
prove the reforms made by the Emperor
since 1850, and even in this the Emperor ;
bayonets will take care that the people do
not say no. Many Of the liberals will not
vote at all, because what they wish is so
intermingled with what they oppose that
they can give no expression of their true
sentiments BY their votes.

WHIsKEY is at last beginning to pay its
just share Of taxes. 1t is reported from
Washington that the evasions and decep-
tions practieed by the manufacturers of dis
TILED liquors are almost entirely abandoned
now The vigorous ferretiug out of these
tricksters By Grants Revenue officers has
at last brought them to terms, and they find
it cheaper TO pay their taxes honestly. The
result is, that more revenue is pouring into
the vaults Of the Treasury than ever before
from this source. So much for efficient Rev
enue officers. We now viii be able to re-
duce the taxes on some productive industry.

CURIosTIEs OF FINANCE. 1t is not 8
little singular that while we, of the United
States, are anxious TO see the glitter and
hear the jingle of gold and silver, our neigh.
h9rs, the Canadians, tired of the sight and
sound Of U. S. coin, are just now issuing
fractional currency similar TO our own,
hoping with it to drive American coin ont
of their borders. We are anxious to he rid
OF paper, they of coin. We can only ae-
count for it on the principal that grown Deo.
pie like children are apt to want, and set a
high value on what they have not got, and
what they have, however good, they hold
in very little esteem. We are quite sure
that both extremes are bad. A little more
gold and silver here and little more paper
currency in Canada would improve matters
IN both places. An exclusive gold or paper
currency is Objectionable. A fair propor-
ton Of each best answers the purposes Of
business.

WHERE TO OBTAIN BARGAINs.-The
stores of Shasta now contain large and well
selected stocks of every description Of
goods, which will be sold at the most rea-
sonable prices. Nearly every description of
goods, such as Clothing, Boots and Shoes,
Calicos, Muslin, Hats, Bonnets, Fancy
Goods, Groceries, Liquors, Provisions
Mining and Farming Implements, &C., can
be purchased here, at wholesale or retail,
cheaper than at any other point north of
Marysville. The fact is our merchants sell
at a very small advance on cost prices, and
strangers visiting here from below often
express astonishment as to how our traders
can afford to sell goods at almost San Fran
cisco and Sacramento prices. The secret
is in the fact that our merchants have
adopted the motto of q live and let live"
and are not trying to make it all at once.
Small profits are best in the long run, and
our business men are pursuing the right
policy to build up large interior trade.
Come to Shasta if you want good bargains

OPPOSING CHINEsE.-Ihe San Fran
cisco Daily Chronicle copies an item from
our issue of the 2lst, endorsing Pixley S
course on the Chinese question, aud re-
marks:
The COURIER takes the Chronicles S
views, and we are satisfied that if the Re
publican press throughout the State would
express the sentiments Of their readers as
well as their own, they would unite with
US in opposing the further immigration Of
this undesirable class of population They
seem afraid, however, to speak their real
sentiments, because perhaps the Democratic
press would ridicule their sincerity, or
question their motives The time has come
when manly and determined opposition
must be made, and it must be united to be
of avail The Republican press should
declare their opinions openly and unequiv-
ocally on this question. The party that
elects the next Governor of California must
be squarely pledged against Chinese I'm
migration. There is no dodging the issue.
Our written record in opposition to every
form of Chinese importation or immigration
dates back to the first number of this paper
issued by us, June 10Th, 1869. Individ-
ually We have ever been opposed to such i'm
migration, and outspoken ON The subject.
Between US and Zack Montgomery there
existed no difference of opinion on the
Chinese problem when he canvassed the
State in 1867, and we labored strenuously
to have the Union party of this County
enter the last campaign on platform ex-
pressing fierce hostility and unrelenting
opposition to the further immigration of
Cinnamon to this State The Chronicle
will please understand that we advocated
the views which it now promulgates on
the Chinese question, long before it opened
its batteries on the Celestials. We a1e glad,
however, to see a paper Of the Chronicles
ability and circulation engaging in the JUS
tifable crusade against the heather plaques

by a powerful combination of unscrupulous
booksellers and publishers who will not
hesitate to use bribery to accomplish their
