The Free Trade Meeting.

NOG 10 6Ace6u 56Fcuby -ANe p6Op1cs
constituted the audience at the Court
House. last night, to listen to the lee.
ture of Mr.. FL. d. Lloyd. on Free
Trade. The meeting was called to
order at 745. by calling Dr.. Morgan,
to the Chair, who as he took his
seat, remarked that they had met to
listen to Mr.. Lloyd. on the subject of
Free Trade-a subject in which all
were or shonld be interested, as he
would illustrate. The City Council
imposed a tax upon butchers, by which
they got of them 81 900 per annum.
The butchers in turn taxed the peo-
pie, getting from them $4,000. They
bought beef cattle for four cents
per pound, on foot, and sold beef at
fifteen cents per pound to the con-
sumers. IF the Council did not tax
the butchers, we could buy beef at
ten cents, and get better article,
perhaps. He then introduced Mr..
Lloyd, who commenced by paying a
compliment to the thrift, enterprise
and location of our city. He said its
location and its peculiar business
rendered it peculiarly fitting; that our
citizens should be in favor of free
trade, and from the inquiries he had
made, he thought they were. He
proposed. in his lecture, to give his
torical sketch Of the various tariffs
that have been enacted in the
United States, and to point
out some of the monstrous monop-
olies the present tariff embod-
les. After giving the origin of the
term tariff" which was derived from
Tariffe y strong fertilization ofithe
Moors on the Straits of Gibralter,
where they levied tribute on the
commerce of the world passing into
the Mediterranean, and sketching
the ancient tariffs of the Greeks, Ro-
mans and others, he enumerated the
various tariffs in the history of the
United States, from the Hamiltonian
tariff down to the present existing
tariff, or Morrill, tariff, of 1861, which
had been twelve times modified, and
always made worse, and now the 18th
change was pending. He gave ibis
views at some length on each of them.
and then proceeded to point out what
he termed the monstrous monopolies
Of the present tariff, taking for Illus
tration, coal, salt and lumber,
celebrating the coal question at great
length. and closed by giving some de-
tails of the plans and purposes of the
Free Trade League.
Mr.: Lloyd is rather pleasant, but
not brilliant speaker, and while his
lecture was listened to respectfully
and attentively, his remarks failed to
elicit any applause, or excite any en-
thusiasm. A number of prominent
business men were present, and few
politicians. We have not time or
space to give more extended synop-
sis of the gentleman's remarks.

correspondent at Ostend sends from
a diplomatic forcing source at Ber-
lin the following authentic statement
of the actual number of the German
forces available for war in France:
The entire strength Of the German
armies now in France, intending all

to the 10th Of October, amounts, on
paper, to G5O,OOO men. OF these
here were actually fit for duty, at

divided into thirteen Prnssian army
corps, including the socalled Silcsian
corps, one Saxon army corps, two
Bavarian army corps, enc w urtem-
burg division and the Baden dlyls-
ion united under one corps com. man
der, and seven landwehr divisions
There remain in Germany, actually
under arms and availably to replace
the losses Of armies in France, to do
coast guard duty, and to maintain
order throughout the country, no
more than $50, 900.

OIL EXCITEMENT.-Considerable
interest is just now manifested in
regard to the result of experiments
being made at Sand Spring, Della
ware county, to test the existence of
petroleum in that vicinity. The
presence of oil on the surface Of
springs and brooks in the locality
is no new thing, and some years
since, the project was entertained-of
prospecting for its discovery. A
short time since, about four gallons
Of this oil was gathered and subject
ed to chemical tests, which proved
it to be of excellent quality. On
the strength of these tests a compa-
ny was formed in Dubuque, who
have leased some hundred acres of
land in the vicinity, and gone to
work in earnest to determine the
certainty Of the indications. One
we'll has been commenced at the
corner offs drug store in the village,
in the cellar of which is spring
upon the surface of which a large
quantity Of the oleaginous fluid has
been discovered. Another we'll will
soon be sunk on a farm aquarter. Of
mile from town. The company
proposes to make thorough exploras
ton, involving the expenditure Of
several thousand dollars. ~

falr as the morning.
We think we may assert without
fear of contradiction, that the print
ing Office is as vivacious as any
place on record. We venture to
say that the longest-faced person
could not stay in a printing Office
many days without having the milk
of human kindness squeezed out of
him in the shape of a laugh. AS one
of the city papers has made garbled
mention of a piece of trickery that
occurred among the typos in one of
the Offices in this city, and as the
aforesaid affair occurred in tour
house," we shall make free with the
item and give you the benefit of it:
Two typos not very far advanced in
their trade, and consequently print
ers by profession but "devils" by
trade, got into two several fits of
dependency, found beams in each
others eyes, and endeavored to pick
them out after this fashion: The
older went to the drug store and
procured quantity Of that drug
commonly called cowitch,' (prop-
erly cowagc,) and strewed the sheets
of the younger ones bed with it
early in the evening of Saturday,
and when he came to bed, he no
more than got fairly ensconsed be-
tween the sheets, than he sprang
out Of bed murmuring many gentle
things to himself, and was compcll-
ed to spend the night to the "wce
small hours" in getting rid of the
unpleasant effects of the cowage.
Determined not to be worsted in
this style, he swallowed his wrath
and gathered up as much of the
drug from the sheets as he could,
slowed it sway in his room-matc's
Sunday trousers, who, apropos with
the occasion, had gone to spend the
night elsewhere. The next morning
the elder typo came home to anoint
himself with the Seventh Days oil
of peace and content, and thinking
he had done the thing up brown,
asked his roommate with an indiff-
erent air how he had spent the night,
but elected no reply, except few
growls. Going up to his room he
proceeded to array himself in his
best. A change came over his fam
cies, however, when the cowage got
him in tow. 1t began to operate on
very sensitive portion Of his per-
son, and for two hours or more, he
did some of the liveliest scratching
and scrambling on record. We
pledge You that no more cowage will
be used in the family, for some
time, at least.

THERE are yet few localities in
the country where Nasty might find
consenial companionship, where
that genuine Democracy, which has
for it's primary tenets, love of whis-
XIV and hatred Of the Niger, yet
flourishes in all it's ancient vigor.-
Wapcllo county in this State has
such a Democratic Arcadia, accor-
ding to the Ottumwa Courier, which
relates the following incident.
Thomas Wright, Of Pleasant
township in said county, a Demo
crat Of twenty four years standing,
recently hired colored nan to as
sist him in his work on the fam.
When the fact became known to his
neighbors, Mr.. Wright received the
following warning: "mr. wright,
dear sir-as neighbors and friends
we will just say that you are neigh
Dor that we all love and we have a
white mans ncighborhood and We
want you TO make way with that
niger or we will. We don't want
a darkey to undermine us in our
work we will give him till Saturday
night to leave in, and then if not
you, we will see that he goes. Good
by for this time, to thompson
wright"
Mr.. Wright was scared and dis
charged the darkey, but straight
way compensated himself by going
to the polls and voting the straight
Republican ticket.

MUcH and sincere sorrow has been
manifested in social circles in Du-
buque during the past week, over
the death, on Friday last, Of Mrs.
NJ. NJ. Ham, wife of the editor of the
Herald. Judging from the univer-
sal testimony Of those who knew
her, Mrs. Ham was a lady of most
engaging manners and rare woman
ly virtues; one whose loss will long
be mourned by those to whom she
had endeared herself by an unafiect-
ed christian life and character, and
a charity which Wanted not itself.
We sincerely sympathize with our
editorial brother in his deep affiic-
ton.

An ignoble fragment which hangs
upon the skirts Of the Republican
party of Dubuque, made display Of
their characteristic mendacity by
scratching Brayton and voting for
Barker for District Judge. Their
utter selfshness and mendacity new
err cropped ont more prominently
than on this occasion, when they
deliberately declared by their votes,
that they prefer sot and a Dem
ocrat if he lives in Dubuque to a.
of unexceptional habits,
character and ability who resides
elswhere. We hope the party in
this District will not forget this
or the frankness with
which it is made.
