AWFUL lNDEED.-The editors OF the
Altoona Tribune, (lnd.2 have been bull.
dozcd into fright and falsehoods by
the acre. Here is a sample of their
lamentation in last week issue: "The
course OF events in the House of Rep
resentatives since the beginning of the
session, has tended to destroy faith in
the temper and objects of the Demo.
cratic majority. On not a single occa.
sion have they shown disposition TO
raise above the low arts OF partisanship,
and to judge Of pending controversies
irrespective Of the bearing upon the
fortunes OF their candidate. If any
patriotism remains in their natures,
they have striven efTectually to con.
ccal it. Instead of looking hopefully
to the action of the House, MS auxiliary
to the settlement of the points in dis
pute in regard to the Presidency, we
see nothing but succession of at
tcmpts to crush the rights Of the Re-
publican minority, TO disregard the
powers OF the Senate and its presiding
officer, and 10 minister TO an outside
agitation of the most mischievous char
acter." Those christian Statesmen"
have our sympathy. We now call the
attention Of Congressman to this de-
mand to raise above Athe low arts Of
partisanship," and to not buIl-doze
those Allegheny Mountain rougues any
more.

that member of the Legislature,

ton. The same system they have in
vogue in Europe To compel parents

Schools" or fine and imprison them
for not doing it, is premature move
ment, and if our leading educators per-
sst in this European plan" they will
break up the system and make fools

those who are using him, do not like
our system, let them emigratc to
Europe and enjoy themselves over
there. But We want none of their
impertinence on this Continent.

PRAcrIoINa EcoNoMY.--The pro; o;,ress
OF economy in the United States is
shown in the diminished importation
OF dry goods In 1866 the value Of
dry goods imported into New York
city was sl26, 222 ,S55. In 1871 1t rose
to sl32, ,4s0,777, and in 1872 it reached
sl36, ,S3l ,6l2 Then came the first
touch Of hard times, followed by the
pane, and in 1874 the importations
fell to sl06, 500, 1853. But this was
only the beginning. People begun to
realize the necessity of saving, and
foreign dry goods was one of the ar.
ticles on which they could economize
with the least Inconvenience. In 1875
the importations dropped to s99,Sl6,
O25, and in 1876 they fell to ss0,7l7,,
l63. This important saving in the
single article of dry goods of sl9 ,O99,.
s62 in single year, and of 500, 6,ll4,.
449 in 1876 as compared with 1872
shows most encouraging progress in
the direction of national independence
and selfsupport, And it also accounts
for the fall in the market price of gold,
which now is nearly down to six pei
cent.
