HowEs LONDON CIRCUS, MENAGERIE, &C.
No class OF amusements is more popular than
circus. A circus peases alike the wise and
the simple, the rich, the poor the refined and
the great unwashed." There is a charm about
the ring which is irresistible, and the aroma of
the sawdust is as grateful to the popular sense
as the perfumes of "Araby the Best'' so, we
presume that the advertisement in another col
umn, that Howe's celebrated London Circus
and Sanger's no less celebrated British Mem
agerie, are to be in Portland the 18th and 18th

This establishment takes foremost rank
among exhibitions of its class as well for the
general excellence which marks all its depart
ments as for the unusual extent aud brillancy
Of its street display which is said to excel any,
thing of similar kind heretofore attempted.
II exhibited in Boston during Jubilee week."
and Notwithstanding that Boston was full of
Jubilee excitement, and in spite of the attrac-
tons of the coliseum, Howe's Circus exhibited
to not less than II 500 people. The Journal
says in speaking of it cat such time any
ordinary entertainment of the kind would have
been ignored, but Howe's establishment is too
big, and commands recognition from its extent
and general excellence" a4
The grand street parade for which this es-
Establishment is so famous will occur on the
morning of each day during its stay, and two
exhibitions will be given daily at one and eight

THE NATIONAL GAME.-The Old EOn Nine
and the ReSolutes.-The first match of base ball
of any Importance during the present season.
came off yesterday afternoon at Deering, on
the grounds near Morrll's Corner By some
what singular coincidence, all of the members
of the old Eon nine which was once SO, Justly
famous for its skill and pluck, happened to be
in the city yesterday; and the Resolute Club of
this city, the junior champions of the State
embraced the opportunity thus presented for
friendly contest with the heroes of many hard
fought field. The number of spectators was not
large, but those whowere present had the pleas
ure of witnessing q close and exciting game
where each side did its best to win The game
was called at about half past three clock, the
Eons winning ON the toss-up and sending their
opponents to the bat. They played so admira-
bly, and worked together so WELL notwithstand-
ing they had had no practice, that the Reso-
turn at tina bat hopeful and determined to win
if possible They scored two runs and choked
their rivals again on their second inning which
made the aspect of the game decidedly inter-
esting. From this point to the seventh inning,
the contest was close and the result extremely
doubtful. The rssolutes scored six in this in
ming which virtually decided the game, al
though the remaining two innings were by no
means devoid of interest The score at the
ninth inning was as follows:'

cral lowering of price. I. Ifyon
are not willing that the French manufac'
turers should iabricatc, because you have
TO pay twenty per cent more than in
England, it will end in the English max
ing you pay hundred per cent more.
IF England were the ouly country to
produce certain objects, could you have
them at the same price? Certainly not.
1t is competition. sustained by just pro-
lection, which destroys foreign monopoly.
Those who speak Of universal, unrestrict-
cd competition, do not comprehend it.
Do YOU know what true competition is :?
IL is that no nation should ever suffer it.
self to make any surrender Of its native
industries. It is that no one should say
that it will 10 longer manufacture cot
ton, because i, csuuot prod &c as chcaply
as another that no one shall say it will
no longer iabricate cloths, because it cam
not fabrcate at so good AN account as its
ncighbor that no one should say that it
will not raise grain. under the pretext
tina, grain is produced more dearly than
in other countries. The nation which
should reason thus would exhibit the
reasoning of an idiot. Do you know what
is the true competition ofnatlou with ma
ton, the universal competition ? 1t is a
noble ambition on the part Of each peo-
ple,-the noble emulation Of producing
ererything, and even that which it pro-
duces with less advantage than other peo-
pie. This competition has, as its result,
the reduction of prices to the lowest at
tainable standard throughout the entire
world. -Practic0L Farmer.

Let those who assert that protective

on the mass OF the community for the
benefit Of monopolist, see how firmly
M. Theirs, in France, the great practical
philosopher, plants himself upon the doc
trine that protection is a boon to the con-
sumner:
ut is urged that all the projections
accorded to industry constitute monopo-
lies, and that, to enrich a few monopo-
lists. we burden the whole country. 1t
is true there is a monopoly; but it is
not in France, it is abroad. | desire to
say that this little monopoly, which you
accord to French industry. destroys the
monopoly of foreign industry.
"When England and France alone
worked up cotton, as you know, what was
the price of a kilogram of cotton yarn
which is now worth three francs 1t was
worth twenty-seven francs. 1t is true
that this was at the period of our wars
and when the raw material bore a high
price but after the peace the price wa.
still as high as fourteen francs.
st has gone down now to three francs
And here is the reason why. In proper
ton as the French production was devel
oped, there was, in spite OF prohibition, +;
sort of penetration between the two mar
kets. We created a competition will
England, and thus the cotton fell to thre,
francs.
"What purpose, then, has the monopo
ly served? 1t has compelled the for
eigner to lower his prices. Every tim
that you give a protection to a nationa
product, you cause the price Of the for
eign product to be lowered, and you pre-
vent monopoly.
"Another example more recent. Whe
the linen industry was destroyed in Franc
by the English production by power,
kilogram of thread was worth seve
francs. We protected the linen industr
in France. This protection permitte
competition; and the French produ'
compelled the English manufacturers
lower their prices to three francs fit
