crative, since it neither produces revenue nor

addition Of certain manufactured articles.
With the decrenao Of imports, tho increase Of
mechanical appliances, and the decline in
price Of labor, our manufacturers first fonnl
themselves compelled to compete with QUO
another without mucll reference to the thrift,
until now many articles Of home manufacture
nre sold at prices as low as tho duties alone
that would DO imposed upon them IT tley
wero imported. About tho only protection
Afforded by thrill In Bnch cases Ia protection
against tho rushing Of bankrupt stocks into
this country to be disposed Of at any price.
But, lately, oven tho sharpest competition
has not discovered homo aomand for con.
sumption equal TO tho production, and tho
manufacturers arc beginning to discern that
thoy may seek foreign markets to
advantage. Not long ago the Fall River
cotton.spinners tried oven tho Engl'sh n,ar-
ket and found tho experiment successful
The whole Western World, with China,
Japan, aud India, lies open to American
manufacturers. There arc classes Of Amori-
car manufactured goods which could already
bo sold to advantage in all parts Of tho
world, II the agencies wcro establ;shed,-
such as cheap cotton prints; paper Of all
kinds, tho manufacture OF which has boon
revolutionized by American processes
watches aud clocks; Yankee notions; boots
and shoes, md a1l kinda Of leather articles 1;
and manufactured goods In iron md steol,
such aa agricultural implements, engines,
machines, and tools Of all kinds.
With tho growth Of manufacture for for
cign consumption will decrease the absurd
voneration for tic protective follacy III the
tariff. Protection will no longer be regarded
M necessary when American manufacturers
chi dispose Of their wares in other countries
to as good M advantage az at home,
or perhaps betsor. On tho contrary, they
will discover that the existence of a prohibit
ory American tariff shuts thcm out from
markets whero they could sell with profit,
and they will begin 10 clamor for It's repcal.
Meanwhile tho United States will continue
10 reduce tho foreign debt, both public and
private. While we wero buying hundred
millions moro every year than we were SELL
ing, NO wore running that much into debt,
which was represented by all sorts Of Amer
ican securities; hut in 1875, 9120, 900, 00O Of

in order to obtain correct informa-

points carefully studied by the

CIapping Washington ON the

General John Cochrane relates
the following anecdote of Wash
ing;on, which is, we think, new to
most readers: "After the Revo-

living in New York frequently
met at dinners in each others
houses. My grandfather, DIR. Jno.
Cochrane Sturgeon and Director
General of the military hospitals
of the army attending at one of
these, had directed his son, my
uncle, then a lad, to come in the
evening and escort him home. AS
the son of the doctor he was adj
mitted to the dining room, where,
in the midst of their hilarity he
saw Gouverneur Morris, who was
talking, turn suddenly toward
Washington, next 70 whom he
was seated, and, clapping him on
the back, heard him cry QUIT
"Wasn't it so, my old boy 2"
"Washington, my uncle said.
sat unmoved. and a death-like ST.
lence fell upon the whole compa-
ny, which soon after quietly broke
up. 1t was understood that the
scene was occasioned by a wager
that a liberty could be taken with
Washington.

HydrOphObia.

Mr.. Corvin, of London, in his
valuable pamphlet on h%ydropho-
bia, indorses the theory of DIR.
Thompson, according to which it
is a vulgar error that patients in
hydrophobia are mad. They are
not mad ; there is no such thing
: madness connected with the dis
ease. The Duke of Richmond,
who, while Governor General of
Canada, was bitten by a rabid fox,
and suffered from themo5t violent
paroxysms, which ended in death,
had sufficient fortitude and self
control in the Intervals to give all
necessary directions for the con-
duct of public business and the
settlement of his own private af-
airs.
