Free Trade or Protection.

When the country is asked to consider
which 1t will adopt, Free Trade OF Protec
ton, let it look at the facts which now stare
it 10 the face. Ii Is estimated that the
aggregate amount of American bonds
national, State, municipal, railway and
miuing-held in Europe, is 81, ,465, 5000.
600, the interest on which; at per cent. /,
amounts TO the enormous sum Of SS7, S30,-
5000 per annum in gold And this is
increasing rapidly, exchanged for goods
which perish in the using and which ought
to be made in this country During the
fiscal year ending June 50, 1869. the tota,
imports were $4l7. 35l, ,765 in gold. and
the balance of trade against us was $3.50.
S32, 42l To adjust balances Ike this our
securities are carried abroad to Europe
there to remain as so many mortgages
against this country. These securities are
used by American merchants wherewith TO
puchase goods. Not a dollar in gold has
been brought into the country in exchange
for them; but, on the contrary, during the
last fiscal year, IS shown by official reports.
the country lost S37 ,4S3, 704 through its
commercial transactions with foreigners,
that being the difference between the
exports and imports Of gold
A healthy condition of the business of
the nation cannot be expected while the
country allows itself to be thus depleted
As well expect an animal to continue strong,
vigorous and healthy while It's life is being
drawn from Its arteries and which should
flow from the heart to the extremities and
from the extremities to the heart.
Let US follow the example of Great
Britain, that retains at home her national
securities. Protect our industry, check
excessive importations, and bring home our
bonds, and our national debt will be rather
source of strength than burden. Any
other course would be the sheerest follg.
Let Congress act for the interest of this
country and its workingmen in this matter

THE FRAMING PRIVILEGE IN THE

Of the Franking Privilege was prompt and
decisive aud in accordance with the senti-

A YER's CHERRY PECToRAL,

For Diseases Of The Throat aad Lungs, such as
Coughs, CoEds. WkoopiHg Cough, BroR-
chitis, Asthma, and Consumption.
ProbobIy never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence Of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through a long series Of years, and among most
Of the races Of men it has risen higher and high
er in their estimation, as it has become better
known. Its uniform character and power to cure
the various affections Of the lungs and throat,
have made it known as reliable protector against
them. While adapted 70 milder forms Of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time tha
most effectual remedy that can be given for Incl
pieut consumption, and the dangerC US affections
Of the throat and lungs. As a provision against
sudden attacks of Group, it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this autidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers Of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pect0Tal. So complete is its mas
terry over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat,
that the most obstinate ofthem yield to It. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great protec-
ton from il.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses,
So z nerally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do
more than .he public that its qualities are
fully maintained.
AYERS AGUE CURE.
For Ferer and Agne, htermittent Ferer, Chill
Ferer. Remifteaf Ferer, Dumb Agae, Period
zeal o. Bilious Ferer, de-, and indeed
all the affections uhich arise from
nalarioHs, marsh, or midsmatie
PoisoHs.
As it name implies, it does CURE, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, QuiRine, Bis
muth, Zlne, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise Injuries any pa
tient The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts literally beyond account
and we believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratihed by the
Acknowledgements We receive CT the radical cures
effected in obstinate eases, and where other
dies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the Ague Cure daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of
the Liver, it is excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable sures, where other medicines had failed

A Fight IN CUBA,-The Recolatioaist
'eto,toas.-Notwithstanding the difficulty
OF getting reliable news from Cuba all par-
ties at last agree that there has been bat
t!e aud that the Spanish have been badly
whipped. a battle took place between
ten. Jordan and the Spanish forces under
Puelio, near Guaimaro, in which the Span
ish were completely routed and lost 400
men and thirty six officers killed. Since
The above was written the Spanish Officers
deny the report Of their defeat, but from
the character Of the previous news we think
there IS coed reason to believe the report is
true and that the Spanish forces are losing
ground on the island.

THE NEW COUNTY OF PETRoLIA.
For nearly q dozen years past proposition
has annually been before the Legislature to
create new county in the oil regions out Of
parts Of Crawford, Warren and Yenango
With TitusyiHe as the county seat. The bill
has been introduced into the Senate this
session by Senator Lowry, and has already
passed the second reading. 1t viii come NJ
for final action in that body early next week,
and its passage in the Senate is well as
sured, Whether it will get through the
House is not quite so certain, though It's
friends appear quite confident Of It's success.
As the bill is framed less than a tenth part
Of the counties of each of Warren and
Venango are included 10 the new county,
which neeessitates the submitting of the
question to the voters of Crawford county
only. The Sudden Developments of oil wealth
in that region have increased litigation
to an enormous extent, and the legal wants
Of the section embraced in the new county
are such thatit is almost impossible for the
courts as now constituted to meet them. Il
is quite probable that within another year
the county of Petrolia viii be added to those
of Pennsylvania.
