there was very light southeastcrly breeze, and
they were all scattered about, but the Mary Emma
appeared to have taken the lead closely followed
BY the Mary J. Campbell which WAS sailing . well
with the evident intention of making herself
known to the members OF the club she had just
joined. The Pleasant Valley stopped ut Fort
Schuyler in order to await the arrival of the
yachts, and by the kind permission Of Lieutenant
J. 8. D. knight, OF the United States Engineers, .

died away but at twenty minutes past three little
pun came up from the southeast that brought some
of the yachts past the buoy or Fort Schuyler.
They passed as follows:-

The Pleasant Valley then steamed up to the buoy
on Success Rock, or Sands Point, and lay there
awaiting the arrival OF the yachts. During the in,

with light tanning air she crossed the line
close to the stakeboat instead OF swimming the dock,
and thus passed at H. TN, making the race In Oh.

Pleasant Valley then started for home, as 1t was
useless waiting for the other yachts. II the Maud
had made the race In time she would have won the
prize in her class, and the Mary Emma and Cruiser
would have been equally successful in their re-
spective classes. The race will have to be sailed
over again, and the date will shortly be decided
upon.

To the Editor Qfae State Journal:
Every sensible man nowadays takes a
paper. Some, not so sensible perhaps,
take dozen. When the papers are little
old, or have been used to kindle the fire,
the article on 'Fence Laws" or "Cure for
Hoyen," is not to lie found. Take some
suitable book the next Agricultural Re-
port" will be just the thing and cut out
about six-tenths of the pages, as close to
the binding as possible. Then clip out
your favorite articles and paste them in.
Never mind arrangement. Put in "Beau-
tiful Snow" DOG Laws" "Deep Plow-
ing" and "Recipe for Tea Cakes" just as
they come. H.-Joe or Mary writes for the
papers, clip out their coruscations to rem
der the book still more valuable. Then
with red or blue pencil page the book in
large figures, and make an index to it.
If you have not patience to do this, which
is quite probable, set Tommy at it it will
teach him order. For your paste, get
Sarah to make a cup of Hour starch, and
then add few grains of sulph. quinine,
with few drops of wintergreen. 1t will
then keep until eaten up by the baby, who
will be none the worse for it, and in no
danger of the chills. BACHELOR.

Political House CleanIsg.
To the Editor efgs State Journal:

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
Such ransacking and scrubbing, such
busting and putting to rights, has never
been seen in "the house that Uncle Sam
built' for years. A great many dirty
fumigated. All kinds Of Political mildew
have been hung out in the purifying sun
light, and the moth and rust Of corruption
is being beaten and polished out.
The commotion has even extended to
the old moss-coverd houses that Captain
John Smith built. But it has progressed
ieebly. The bribery investigation in the
Legislature fell through, and many very
dirty corners have not yet been disturbed.
From gleanings from the Washington Chroa-
icle, Star and Republican, we see that the
people are trying to sweep out the front
hall, and so obviate the necessity of using
the little side-path that leads to Alexandra.
In other words, the people of Fairfax and
Loudoun complain that the Washington
and Ohio railroad never did reach the for
mer place and never will reach the latter.
That they cannot profitably send their pro-
auce to Washington, and that the rates Of
travel and freight on the road are sxhorbi-
tant. And they justly demand investiga-
ton into the company's affairs. They are
also complaining of mismanagement and
extortion on the part of their turnpikes,
and with the two together are raising con-
siderable dust. Railroad, turnpike, ex-
press, and kindred monopolies soon learn,
when permitted to Cypress instead of to
serve their patrons, and in places where
this is manifestly the case, sensible immi-
grants will not trust their fortunes. Had
we not better go into thorough house,
cleaning? Should not the people, for their
own protection, examine the charters and
laws in reference to these companies that
have fattened on their substance 1t is
unnecessary to catalogue the extortions
and grievances that the people have thus
far patiently suffered. Let them examine
them and demand change.

A Home Argum Reinforced.


During the recent wearlsome debates in
Congress on the tariff the champions of free
trade nave constantly assumed that protec-
i've dutles as well as merely revenue duties
are Always tax upon consumers that
they are ADDED TO the price OF the whole
domestic product, and, therefore, that re-
ductions OF duties VIII lessen prices pro-
portionately, ana mus AFFORD corresponding
relief TO the people.
lhls Is not only iallacy, but an auda-
clous assumption which those who make it
know TO De laise. we nave often explain
ed now lar 1t IS true That, and IN respect to
what classes OF articles, import duties en-
nance domestic prices. All articles our
entire supply OF winch IS imported without
meeting any competition from producers or
manufacturers IN this country are increased
IN cost by about the amount OF the duty.
others are not.
For instance, tea. coffee, Specs. &c.,
cannot be produced IN the United States.
Those who import them, therefore, encoun-
ter no competition mere, and can generally
add the full amount OF the duty, whether
high or low, to the price. Reductions of
such duties, hence nure, as rule, to the
benefit OF consumers.
LII. INV 10 /. "i', Hheao anu potatoeSs
upon both Of which there is tariff? Does
anybody believe that every bushel of wheat
raised in this country costs twenty cents
more, and of potatoes twenty-five cents
more, because of the specific duties of
twenty and twenty-five cents bushel re-
spectlyely levied upon these articles when
imported? Or, to put the question differ
entity, would an increase OF the duty on
these products of one dollar bushel
enable the farmers to raise the price by
that much? Certainly not, because the
home supply, In connection with the de-
mand, regulates the price entirely. and
those who should import would be obliged
to sell at the ruling quotations here, paying
the duty out Of their profits or losses, as il
might happen. If, however,. wheat and
potatoes could not be produced within the
country, the case would be different. Then
the tariff OF one dollar bushel would
mean tax to that extent upon all who
used them.
