In 1850, the eleven Northwestern
States had 5000, ,OOO, 900 of farm products
to consume and sell. How much did
manufacturing Europe, England and
the continent take OF US? Only some
S13, 900, 900 worth. How much did 20,-
OO0, 600 of our consumers East and South,
in the Union. buy? Some Sl9O, 200, 900,
or sixty fold as much per head. But
those foreign countries sent us $500 ,OOO,-
600 worth of their manufactures. Great
Britain sent to the West $45, 900, 900 of
her wares-buying little and selling us
much.
If protective tariff Is class legislation
for the benefit of manufactures, then it
will stimulate manufactures, causing
mapufacturers to employ more men, pay
higher wages, consume more agricultur-
al products, and while creating a better
demand for the farmers crops, will les-
sen relatively the number of farmers
who compete with each other in raising
them. But as more employment and
higher wages are just what all working
men want, and fewer farmers and high
er prices for crops are what all farmers
want, the free traders are obliged to deny
that protective tariff will i'll fact aid
manufactures. If so. in whose favor is
the class legislation?

A letter from China, Foochow says
they are exhibiting a Chinese criminal
in a wooden cage, where he will stand
until death. He is about twenty years
of age. His crime is kidnapping chill
dren. He stands in the cage with his
head through hole in the top, his toes
barely touching the flooring. Thous-
ands gather around him every day;
laughing and jeering at him; there he
stands, with his ankles chained togeth-
er, and his hands tied behind him.
Some one had put few bits of broken
bricks in the cage, and at times he wo'd
try by standing on tiptoes on one foot,
to bring the broken bricks together with
the other, as he could raise himself up
little, and case the weight from his neck.
He made rather poor work OF it, as be
could not see the pieces, and had to
direct his movements by the sense of
touch ouly. His suffering must be great,
as he has been standing more than
seventy hours. Another man that was
Gagged up the same way, lived about six
days.

French, German and Austrian fathers, J"
for these are held, on all hands, but not,
of course, without exception, to constl-
tute the opposition in the Council.
1t is worth special note that this OPP
position"-to extreme Papacy--thoush
counting but about one-sixth OF the
Council in numbers, is scarcely less than
the half of it in weight, while, were lay
men an ! low clergy to vote. instead OF
the assembled fathers, Papal pretensions
would certainly be checked and hum
bled, if not condemned and rebuked.-
For, while the heavy Catholic popula-
tions of France, Austria, and Germany,
in full sympathy with their hberallzed
governments. are almost as one against
extreme Romanism, the still more lib
eral Catholics of England and America,
at present caring little for Papacy, wo'd,
if called upon to speak, decide for mod
ern as against the medieval civilization
the only vital question at issue. 1t Is
manifest superiority, so far as it goes, OF
metal and caliher on the liberal side of
the Council, and its heavy home back
ing, that make the European non Cath
olic world very exacting in its demands
of the opposition; while the hopeless MI
nority of the latter, and the resolute
purpose aud unscrupulous means OF the
majority, add something like heroic
coloring to the contest waging. Athens

The Juvenile Democracy of Hamilton
County, Ohio, held a meeting on the
25th of July, and amused themselves by
passing a great variety of the most
beautiful resolutions. They howled at
"the Capitalization of too much power
in the General Government" they de-
manded 1.-THE abolition of military gov
ernments in the South;" they growled
savagely at the poor Chinese immigrants;
they pitched into the present protective
tariff; they denounced the granting of
public lands for railways; they deman-
ded the taxation of the national bonds;
and they charged the Republicans with
a plot ito enrich the few by the poverty
of the many" Having thus relieved
themselves by abusing everybody and
finding fault with everything, the Young
Democracy retired to their virtuous
sheets to dream of coming Utopia in
which whisky shall no more be taxed
than water, and all the citizens shall
live in state of chronic rebellion

that he is too poor to continue in the

CnRIors REMARK on VANITY

CURIOUS REMARK ON VANITY
Franklin says: "Most people dislike
vanity i'll others, whatever share they
have of it themselves; but give it fair
quarter wherever 1 meet with it, being
persuaded that it is often productive of
good to the possessor, and to others who
are within his sphere of action; and
therefore, in many cases, it would not
be altogether absurd if a man were to
thank God for his vanity, among the
other comforts oflife."

How Robert Fulton Won HIS Bride.


We know our lady readers will thank
us for publishing this beautiful and true
story of Fulton's courtship- and mar
riage:
Old General Morgan, of Revolutionary
fame, had noble estate on the eastern
bank OF the lake, not far from where the
present Wells College now stands. Be-
tween his only daughter, lovely girl of
eighteen, and young Fulton, had long
existed tender attachment, which,
however, the poverty and obscurity of
Robert led the General to severely frown
upon. Fulton went to New York. He
labored long years in perfecting his in
vention; his day of triumph came, and
then be wrote to the stern father rela-
ting his success and asking for the
daughters hand.
Nay" wrote back the incredulous old
soldier, ''I'll believe what see with nv
own eyes. Come back, you scape-graee,
to the lake; build and sail a steamboat
past my own door, and then, and not till
then, shall you have my daughter Kate.
Need say that Fulton came joyfully
back, that a steamer was built as rapid
ly as circumstances would permit, that
she was launched. and in due time did
sail triumphantly past the Generals
door! But let me add that, according to
an express stipulation made by the sly
Robert in case he succeeded-when the
Kate Morgan sheered in towards the
Generals dock small boat was seen
pushing out containing the original
Kate, her grim father and gentleman
in clerical vestments. They were soon
on board, and there, amid the waving
Of flags, the ringing of bells, and the
blowing of whistles, the proud inventor
and the prouder bride were made one.-
A glorious sweep up and down the lake
completed the first bridal trip by steam
ever known in this country.
