Selling Our Goods IN England,

PROTECTED AMERICA COMPETING WITH FREE
TRADE EsaLAsD-oUR oALIcoEs AND LONG
CLOTHS IN THE MARKETS OF MANcHEsrEk
LONDON, Oct 2S-English Free Traders have
scarcely recovered from the shock they endured
on hearing that American iron had been imported
into Liverpool when they are subjected to an
other similar outrage on their feelings. Mr.. L.
Garnett told the Bradford Chamber of Com
merce on Tuesday that merchant engaged In
the cotton trade was in the habit of buying Amer
can cotton goods, and that they were cheaper
than those manufactured in Lam
cashire. or course he would not buy them un-
less they were cheaper, and this combined with
the ominoua statement that it was not al lsola-
ted instance but practice, made strong I'M
preston on the Bradford Chamber. Mr.. Gar
nett went on TO make statement perhaps even
more startling. His friend had told him that
the American cottonB were not only cheaper but
better than Lancashire goods they were strong
and durable, while those manufactured in Ian
cashire were laden with sizing. The latter Is
no new complaint. Manchester has lately had
some pretty rough lessons Oh the maxim That
honesty is the best policy having 30 long glnt-
ted the Indian and other Oriental markets with
rotten stuffs that there are signs that Oriental
patience may be overstrained. We long since
undersold Manchester in China, supplying
goods at less price of the coarser kinds, par
| tcularly Now to have the same thing happen
in Lancashire itself may we'll starte Lancashire.
Mr.. Hugh Mason, q very large manufacturer
| In Lancashire, in addressing meeting of his
work people, told them that he thought the i'm
portation of American cloths n formidable TACT.
After which he proceeded to deplore our ignor-
that is, which would undoubtedly have postpon-
ed indefinitely, not only all foar of our compet-
| ing in England with English manufactures, but
| OF our competing with them in America.

SYMPATHY IN HIS ILLNESS His UsEFULNIsH TO HIS
PARTY AND THE NATION
From tie Hew York Herald, Today
How dear Henry Wilson is to his country men
WAS proved yesterday by the universal sorrow
and anxiety that followed the announcement
that he had been stricken down with illness and
WAS near unto death. sympathy with him in his
sufferings, and regret for the country, threaten
ed with the loss of one OF her foremost men,
we're the pervading feeling OF the people.
Mr.. Wilson has been before the country as a
public man for thirty-fve years, and prominent
ly 30 since the beginning of the free-soil move
ment IN 1852 His career in the Senate is too
well known to need to be recalled
on Military Affairs he had much to do
with the conduct Of the war. AS champion
OF the negro he was one OF the few men who
were at once true to their principles and yet
conciliatory to the South. All the earnest
he displayed in the Senate and during the war
have passed into history. As the Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States his efforts have been
| wholly given to the restoration OF peace and
good will between the North and South. AS a
| republican leader his influence has been devoted
| to reforming and protecting the great party
which he helped to create and which lie
has done 30 much to guide. His coun-
| sel has been wise, and in his recent visits
to all parts OF the Union the people re-
enthusasm-ca and profound attention.
| The position in which Mr.. Wilson was placed
could hardly have been a more delicate one.
Elected by the Republican party to the second
| place in its gift, he WAS obliged to insist upon
| the expulsion Of the corrupt men and the
| abolition of the bad measures which were
driving it TO ruin. To lead political party
and to reform it are tasks difficult to combine
| but he has thus far, discharged his duty
with fidelity and tact He has retained his
place as a Ulysses in the Republican council.
| and at the same time has never hesitated to
point ont its errors and to condemn its
| faults. He believed that the Republican party
| could only win by reform and by honesty and
without these he believed that it would deserve
its failure. His opposition to third term and
and ably vindicated but it was always marked
with courtesy and implicit good faith.
The loss OF Mr.. Wilson now, when his work IL
unfinished and when the bright future of
| the country s darkened with stormy clouds,
would be national disaster, to which even pri-
vate grief would yield. He has many friends,
but lie has one client-tbe country.

speeia, Dispatch to Tie Ncp York Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The first reports, this
morning, of the Illness of Vice. e.President Will
son were 30 exaggerated as to cause tho gravest
apprehension among his friends. Mr. Wilson
had not been feeling well for several days al
though lie was unwilling to admit the fact to
ngton, yesterday and said To every one who in
quired, that his health WAS good. This morning.
having dull pain between his shoulders and
in his limbs, he went to the Capitol,
and about 9 o'clock took hot BATH hoping by
this means to obtain relief. After leaving his
bath, and while in a barber's shop, tho pains III
his back returned with increased severity, almost
depriving him of the power Of speech. PhysicanB
were at once called in and remedies applied,
which soon gave him partial relief. For several
hours he remained in critical condition,
and at p. IN. seemed to have rallied 80 little
that his attending physician, DIR. Baxter,
WAS quite apprehensve about Inn. An hour
later, after a few minutes sleep, his symptoms
since continued to improve. This evening he
was removed to the Vice-President's room, and
it is believed that all danger has passed. The
disease from which MIR. Wilson is suffering it
spinal irritation, caused, his physician thinks,
by indigestion and by undue excitement in re-
gard to the late elections. No signs OF return
Of the paralytic trouble, from which he suffered
two years ago, have been discovered.
Postmaster General Jewell who lakes much
interest in the Vice President, will remain will
him throughout the night.

SIN a circular OF General Regulations, ap-
proved by the Executive Committee, and pub.

ITa EFFECT UPON THE TowN-NIsE THOUSAND ToNs
NOW LYING AT THE wHARyKs- --yEsrELs IN De
MAND.
The Elk weeks which have elapsed since the
establishment OF coal wharyer at Delaware City
by the Pennsylvsnia Coal Co. have served to IL
ustrate the many advantages which the promised
trade will be to that town. Already good
effect has been made upon the business OF
the place, and tile coal trade seems to be infus-
ing new life into every department of business
The monoy put in circulation by it has made fl
nances easier, and there is less complaint OF a
scarcity of the medium of exchange.
Thus far the coal has been received only by
water through the canal. When navigation
closes 1t is expected that the shipments by rail
will begin via the Penna. q Del. r. Il. Large
cargoes have been shipped to Boston and other
ports, but just now there ls dullness in trade
in consequence Of the scarcity of vessels loading
for Boston. This has caused an accumulation
upon the wharves, and, We are Informed, that
there are now nine thousand tons piled up
awaiting an opportunity for shipment. No diff
hculty IL experienced, we understand, in eb-
tanning vessels for the southern trade, the cap
| tains and owners preferring this branch of SER
vice ut this season to the northward trips, which
arc moro unpleasant as we'll as more risky.
