The Riverside Echo makes the following
pertinent reply to the Belfast Journals re-
marks about liquor selling in Belfast; -
"What has the Governor to do with that
city especially? There is no State police;
and if there were, the same journal would
probably make still louder cutlery against the
prohibitory policy. If the journals that de-
cry Temperance measures, if nothing is done,
and yet more if anything is done, wish the
evils of rum selling TO be abated, let them aid
public sentiment in enforcing such laws as
exist, till better ones shall be devised. The
evils of the liquor traffic are many, and OPP
pressive to the community and to individuals.
The Governor has no more to do with the To-
cal enforcement of the present law than any
other citizen, and to call him to an account
for not seeing that the law is enforced in
Belfast, Augusta, Lewiston, or Portland, is
simply absurd. The municipal officers and
the citizens of those and other cities and
towns are the ones to act; and if they did
their duty, the fragrant volators of the law
would soon learn that the way of the trans
gressor is hard"

PROTECTION or COMNERC

Nothing like depth in political economy
The Augusta Journal advances the profound
idea that the protective tariff has built ant
maintains our lighthouses Argus.
There was once an Adams (not the cdi
tor Of the Argus) who advanced and main
tanned the same idea which the August;
Journal did in the paragraph TO which thu
utation of being u man of some depth il
political economy"-quite as much a:
some of his namesakes. In report made
toCongressin 1888, Mr.. Adams said: The
whole naval establishment of the Union is
maintained to protect the immediate inter
est of the commercial part of the commu-
nifty. The manufacturer, the farmer, the
planter, have no direct interest in this
they all pay taxes to protect from foreign
hostility the property of the merchant and
the person of the navigator. The war last
waged with Great Britain, and which cost
the nation upwards of hundred millions
of dollars, and perhaps fifty thousand
lives, for what was it proclaimed, but for
wrongs to the merchant and the mariner,
in which the merchant and the farmer, as
distinct classes of society, had not one
dollar of interest, yet, for the maintenance
of which they bore their equal portion of
taxation and devoted their equal portion of
lives. The manufacturer of the interior
has the same right to the protection of the
Union against the regulations of foreign
countries as the merchant upon the coast
or the mariner upon the ocean. The man
ufacturer of the north has the same right
to the the protection of the nation against
the competition of foreign rivals armed
with foreign laws, as the planter of the
south or the settler of the westhas to the
same projection against the robberies and
butcheries of Indian sayages, instigated
by the secret impulses and profuse subsi-
dies of the same foreign rivals. The man.
ufacturer asks on more"
The substance and spirit Of our remarks
in relation to protection and commerce
were identical with the above from Mr..
Adams. Lighthouses and navies have been
built at the expense of the whole people
for the protection of commerce. If the
protective tariff has not built and main
tanned our lighthouses, the protective prin-
cple and spirit has, which was the point
we made. Curiously enough, we find.
however, that our government has main
tanned in times past an increased light
house tax upon foreign vessels to protect
Its own navigation, as well as increased
port charges, which is bringing the light
houses and protective tariff into pretty
close relationship to say the least. The
depth of the political economy of the Ar
gus consists in favoring the purchase of
foreign built vessels, destroying our light
houses and navy, and turning the coasting
trade into the hands of foreigners. This
is lit logic, as every shipbuilder and com
mercial man can see 1t may be profound
political economy but scarcely seems TO Ms
to be good common sense.

TIE BUENOS AYRES pL4GTE

The last accounts from Buenos Ayres state
that the plague in that city is abating. Its
rayages have been terrible, but how many
have been its victims there is no means Of
knowing. The native authorities estimate
the number Of deaths from Is, 900 TO 2G 600
but the American Consul puts the number al
10000. The natives desire to make the NOR.
tally appear as small as possible From a
letter in the New York Herald, written MAY
18th, we copy the following;
The mortality among American residents
as predicted in my last letter, has been very
small, owing to three reasons. Firstly, tn,
Americans were not by any means numerous
secondly, most of them left the city, and
lastly, those who were attacked received bet
ter attendance than the generality of the vic
Tins were able to procure.
The following list embraces the names OF
all the Americans who have died OF yellow
fever here, together with such facts as could
learn concerning their residences or birth
places in the United States, &C.;

Portland, Me.
