Old landmarks, the precious relics of a
past generation, are lost in d"h,'iS of
ashes and cinders, from which there is
no resurrection. Valuable and rare
books, choice gems OF art, trophies of
the colonial and Revolutionary wars,
have been swept away in the fiery blast.
The reserved wealth of the New Eng
land metropolis can rebuild the business
blocks, tie schools, the churches, the
palatial residences, on graIder scale
than before, but it has no power to re-
store these calcined treasures. Their
loss will be mourned by the learned and
the patriotic long after all visible tokens
of the great conha%ration have given
place to marble halls and palatial store
houses. Boston is the symbol of Yankee
thrift, energy and perseverance. The fire
will renovate and renew the venerable
city STRAIT htcn its tortuous WAYS and wild
EN- its narrow avenues.
The new city will far surpass the old
in all that pleases the eye or delights
the cultivated mind. But none of the
present generation will ever forget the
grand homely city of the past, or cease
to regret the precious relics that lie
buried in its smoking ruins.

Hammond and Wallace, publish a COM
munication i'll the Courir, replying to
our article of last week, bearing the
caption An Unjust Discrimination. -
Il appears we were misinformed in the
matter, and we cheerfully make this
correction. The information upon
which we based the article, was furnished
to the Tribune by Jno. &. Parker, Jr. -,
the Captain of the Alida, and neither
that journal or oursclf for a moment
doubted its accuracy. We maintain
that our structures were justified by the
alleged circumstances, which were so
utterly at variance with the custom OBJ
served in reference to stern-wheel
boats on other tide-water bays. Believ-
ing the report, we were compelled to
attribute such jug-handled requirements
of the Inspectors to the only motive that
has yet been brought to bear against
the free navigation of our placid waters
We are pleased that it is not true for
the sake of the Inspectors, quite as much
as for the Zp!w, her oblisiny COM
mander, or the public.

The accompanying farm scene
is reality. 1t shows what we
were and what we are; what we
are and what we may become.
1t is truth itself, and the tens
of thousands of farmers know
it. The manufacturers and
workingmen know it. Three
times this nation has been
tossed into bankruptcy and and
poverty while English capital
lists stood and looked on, and
laughed at us, and ratified our
hard earned American gold in
their well filled pockets. And
while they stood chuckIing at
our short-sightedness, Ameri-
can workingmen were idle and
starving, and American farm.
ers were reduced to poverty.
Three times in our national
history we have been led by
the nose by. English sophis-
try into national poverty. In
1868 we were so far reduced
that General Jackson exclaim-
ed, "Where has the American
farmer a market for his surplus
products9 Except for cotton,
he has neither a foreign nor a
home market. Common sense
points out a remedy. Draw
from agriculture the supera.
bundant labor, employ it In
mechanism and manufactures,
thereby creating a home mar
ket for your breadstuffs, and
you at once give a home mar
ket for more breadstuffs than
all Europe now furnishes. We
have been too long subject to
the policy of British merchants.
1t is time we should become a
little more Americanised, and
instead of feeding the paupers
and laborers of Europe, feed
our own, or else In a short time
by continuing our present pol.
icy, we shall be paupers our
selves" So thought and spoke
General Jackson.
The people demanded pro-
lection and got it, but in a few
years smooth tongued politi-
ticians and well fed English
agents poured into the Ameri-

try, is idle and in ruins. The
farmer raises a little Indian
corn. Flap;jacks and pork is
his diet. There is no enter
prise or business activity. He
has no incentive to exertlon.
There are none to buy from
him. The working people are
out of employment and have
no money. He must send his
produce to Europe, but it is
not needed there for the pau
per labor of Europe can raise
corn and wheat cheaper than
he.
He can not build a fine
house, nor buy the cheap Eng
lish goods because he can earn
no money, and in the very
midst of cheapness he is in
rags and poverty. Farmers of
America are not these facts?-
We appeal to the days of 1856
and 1857 for proof. ...
But let US close our eyes
from this dismal picture and
look on the opposite one. For
aught we can tell tits the same
man we see and the same
place that is before us. We
see a sight to be seen on ten
thousands of farms throughout
the State of Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
noiS, Missouri, Iowa, Michigan
and other States. There is
joyous farmer and proud horses
who look and step as though
they knew that a plentiful feed
of oats awaited them at eve
ming. There is a moving train
in the distance carrying the
products Of agricultural and
mechanical industry. There is
a wooden mill with its five
hundred pairs of busy hands,
an iron mill beyond it with its
two thousands men before hot
furnaces and thunderlng rolls.
These mills are the types OF
American civilization and
American independence. They
speak tariff and a market at
our own door.
The two thousand hands pro-
vide support for at least ten
thousand people. The iron
made goes over the country
and provides employment for
the support of at least a hun
dred thousand people. Cut
down an iron mill, and all those
who obtain employment out Of
it directly and indirectly, are
deprived of employment and
have no means to buy.
These men in wooden mills
and iron mills must be fed
They eat corn and wheat and
beef and pork. Farmers must
bring more ground under cul-
tlvation for every new mechan
lc that finds employment in a
mill or shop. 1t is to the far
mers's interest to have manu-
featuring increase. The more
manufacturers and working |
people, the greater demand is
there for his corn and wheat

course, that in 1887 banks col.
lapsed, merchants. were penni-
less, workingmen were idle and
people starved.
And yet the country was
overlooking with British free
trade goods, tantalizing the
hungry eyes of penniless men:
Mills, factories, workshops,
swere everywhere closed. Far
mers were everywhere in pow
erty; farms, stocks, mills, shops,
goods, stocks were everywhere
sold for taxes and executions.
The country tottered on the
very verge of national bank
ruptcy. The people saw once
more their error, and prayed
that if saved from this evil they
would never fall down in the
desert and worship the golden
calf of British free trade. They
recovered and grew In wealth,
but they again forgot of their
poverty, and in 1S46 we again
entered the fatal m@lstrom of
free trade. Sweetly on we
glided for a few years on the
outer edge OF the seductive cur.
rent, scarcely noticing the un-
der current that was drawing
us by degrees rapidly onward.
In 1851 we began to feel our
selves going, but the gold
storm of California held us in
check for awhile, but even it
was not strong enough, and we
rapidly swept on, and in, and
down, until the dreary days Of
1S56-57, when soup houses fill
ed the land instead of mills
and factories; when crest fall
en- workingmen with brawny
arms were compelled to eat
this humble bread of charity
and degradation. The single
vote of a body of men called
Congress brought US to this
poverty in each instance.
In the picture before US we
see the effects of free trade
with market across the ocean.

there are MANY farmers who
believe that they would get
richer by having free trade
which would destroy manufac9

all people engaged in it. They
say they could then buy things
cheaper from England. How
could they. Where would they
get money to pay for them.---
Not from England, because
England can get cheaper corn
from Europe than we can send
her. American working peo-
pie can not buy because they
are thrown out of work and
are out of money and idle:
