British Inventors.

The British workman, heretofore consider
ed a man to be honored, is being sadly
abused now by British inventors and manu-
facturers through "odorous comparisons"
made between him ard his American rival.
Mr.. Graham Bell first complained of the
difficulty he experienced in getting any
novel idea put into material form by British
workmen, and this complaint was followed
by more vigorous one In the English Ne
chanic. from the pen of Thomas Fletcher.
Mr.. Fletcher says that he has had twenty
years experience In experimental work, and
that, after having tried in vain to get British
workmen to make new forms, he has been
compelled to make them himself, or to send
to this country to have them made by Ameri-
can mechanics. Many Of the tools used by
British workmen he pronounces i'll adapted
for the uses to which they are put but after
showing their faults and suggesting improve
nients, he has found that the British work
man will not go out of his groove to adopt
new ideas, and that English tool-makers are
themselves obliged to send to this country
for American made tools with which to do
their work. He cllnches his statements by
saying: The proof of the pudding is in
the eating. / have at this moment at least
three fourths of my tools of American manu-
facture, many of which have been bought at
very fancy price" He thinks that the diff
ference between the workmen of the two
countries is that IAN English workman does
not in the first instance learn what tool is
for and adapt the tool to the requirements;
an American workman will, as a rule, use
his brains and make what you want without
spelling the whole by ridiculous blunders."
The complaints, as above presented, form the
basis of an argument In favor of giving ap-
prentices technical education combined
with practical work,

A COMING DIFFICULTY.

1t is clear that the commercial world has
yet to see another battle between free trade
and protection, and it is one in which we in
the cotton-producing States are deeply inter
ested. The attack will come from the free
trade side, and in a manner for which pro-
lection is not prepared Hitherto the protec-
tionists have, in effect, SAID to the free trade
countries-we will export our goods and sell
TO you, getting the full benefit of your free
trade system. We will grant you no CORE
spending benefit in return, for we will tax
what you export to us, and when it suits us
we will tax you out of our market entirely.
There are signs that this mean, selfish, mar
row policy will be met and defeated, as it
ought to be. The free trade people are say
ing to the protectionists-we have given you
the full benefit of the true policy which should
govern the commercial intercourse of nations.
You have had the advantage, tcs have borne
the expense. For the future, if you chance
to put yourselves on a free trade basis with
us, we will do the same with you. If you
prefer to tax against US as against an enemy,
we will inAict tax for tax. We in this coun-
try cannot complain, for the policy that is
threatened is just, but it will not be agreea-
bic to the cotton-producing States. 1t was a
bitter saying of French senator at a meet
ing in Paris three days ago, that ''the Ameri-
cans are our seniors in the practice of the
liberties, but they lack one of the most
precious, namely, liberty of commerce"

ENGLANn,S STRAIT.

The English are in great trouble. They
are producing a vast amount of fabrics, but
cannot produce buyers for them. Why this
is, troubles the country to its center. There
are two theories on the point. The preva-
lent one is that steam, skill, and labor are
producing more than society can consume.
But the very producers themselves give the
lie to this "over-production theory, for
they are ill.clothed and ill-fed. Clothe and
feed them, and the shelves and warehouses
that are crowded with goods would be re-
lieved of their plethora. The other theory is
that bad trade comes from foreign COMPETE
ton. The remedy, therefore, from this point
of view, is to reduce wages and manufacture
so cheap that no rival can have chance.
The disadvantage of this system is that peo-
pie who are i'll fed and ill-clothed are liable to
die in the streets from want, or to become
dangerous, threatening mobs and destruction
Of property. To prevent dying from want,
warehouses are kept up, where paupers are
fed at vast expense; and to prevent attacks
upon property, soldiers have to be maintained
to shoot people down who become so hungry
as to prefer the quick bullet to slow starva-
ton. In attending to these workhouse and
soldier requisites, the money is spent that
was saved by lowering wages, and foreign
competition remains unchecked. In this
state of things, what must England do? If
wages are lowered, starvation and riot ensue.
If they are not lowered, there is no activity
to be had in trade. The position is evidently
a hard one, and it is one England cannot re-
lieve herself from. 1t is the direct result of
her system of making "the rich richer and
the poor poorer" The next half century
will see England in great strait-one that
will be fatal to aristocratical Institutions.

AnLnNnERING PoLICR.

The New York papers are expressing ex-
cessive discomfort with the police there. The
most horrible crimes escape detection.
Banks can be robbed of millions; citizens,
and the children of citizens, carried off from
their house-doors, from the streets, and from
their very graves, and the police are unable
to do anything. The poor man who is driven
to theft by poverty, theycan catch him, and it
has been proven that they have ability to that
amount that they can catch him when he
has not stolen at all, and. of late, they have
more than once taken ladies to jall and kept
them all night, when nothing could be urged
but the laundering and wretched suspicious
differences of the stupid police. Mrs. Cross, a
lady who came to this country as a CORES
pendent of the London Times, was
in this way kept in Jail during the
whole of last Saturday night. The New
York police, when under Chief Matzers
management, obtained high character, but
of late years it has fallen into its old ineffi-
cheney and mischieyousness. The secret of
the change is obvious-too much politics.

THE RALLOT DIFFICULTY.

There is never an election, from that of
justice of the peace to President, that we
do not hear the losing side complaining of
"frauds with the ballot-box." We are an
inventive people, and, if we choose, we can
make a ballot-box so arranged that fraud
will be impossible. Let every ballot have
number, let that number be officially regis
tered when voting, and let the box that re-
ceives the ballot, in the very act of reception,
record the number Of ballots 1t receives-just
as some steamships we have travelled in re-
corded every turn made by the paddle-wheel.
If we do this, and It is simplicity itself, we
stop one of the most productive sources of
discomfort and strife that exists among us.
There are too many tricks possible outside of
the act of voting, but when we come where
the law should guard from injustice, let us
make fraud impossible and leave guilt power
less To do evil

HOW THEY Do GOOD IN COLUM-
BIA, TRNNKsSEE.

Columbia. Tennessee, is a nice city, sup
ports good newspapers, and has citizens with
genuine christian hearts in their bosoms.
Their mode of doing good takes on that
genuine, practical form that made Christ
ianity so grand a thing in Che earlier and
purer days of the church. We find what
that mode is in the following, from the Co
lumbia Journal of Thursday last. which de-
scribes the thanksgiving charity as it was to
be carried out on that days services by the
congregation of st. Peters church, of which
DIR. Beckett is rector. cat the morning serv-
ice, says the Journal, 'the members Of the
congregation have been requested to bring
apples, potatoes, pork, turkeys, chickens, or
any other articles of food they may see fit,
and place them in the chancel. After serv-
ices the ladies will carry these articles around
to the houses of the poor and distribute them,
that they may enjoy a feast as we'll as their
favored brethren, in honor of the occasion.
A committee met IN the church yesterday
evening to make all the necessary arrange
m0nts." Has ever a place of worship been
more appropriately sanctifed and conse-
Grated than was st. Peters, Columbia, when
its chancel floor was covered with the contri-
buttons of Gods people to Gods poor? This
is true religion, and undefled before God.

nas been manufactured for party purposes,
and it is natural that they should feel indlg-
uant at these ISLANDERS. The great corpora
tons Of the east were guilty of more ''intim-
idation" than was employed in the south.
Ben Butler says he was defeated by ''intim-
idation, and that he intends to show, during
the present session Of congress, that he
was beaten for governor Of Massa-
cbusetts by the fat Of the cotton mill and
railroad managers, ordering their employees
to vote against him. He further AYERS that
this kind Of Intimidation" forces ten men in
the north and east to vote for the men they
don't want, while one now in the south Is
frightened from the polls, or is induced" by
bull dozers TO vote contrary to his wishes
and principles. Ben says he has proof of
these postulates among other bricks in his
hat and he proposes to make 1t very lively.
As evidence of the shameful manner in which
the southern people are slandered, we have
only to refer to the election Of General
Chalmers IN Mississippi. Two years ago, he
made vigorous canvass. He paraded the
district with band of music and a cannon,
which he fred as he passed every plantation.
He was elected by an overwhelming ma
iority, and it was charged by the Re-
pablcans that he was elected by
fraud and intimidation. At the last
election, four weeks ago, General
Chalmers made no canvass. He was at Lou
isville, sick, and yet he was elected in ne
gro district over his negro competitor, by an
almost unanimous vote, which fact shows
that the charge of fraud and intimidation
two years ago was as groundless as the same
charges are now. An investigation is now
going on in Charleston, South Carolina, in
regard to the alleged charges of fraud, and
leading colored men, and hundreds of the
best men Of Charleston, have declared, under
oath, that there was neither intimidation nor
fraud. This determination on the part of the
Republicans to renew sectional hatreds by
the south is painful to the south
eru people, and it will be equally so to patri-
otto men OF the north, for the honest masses
of every section of the Union are signing
aud suffering for the want of genuine recon-
Citation and peace, which can never be had
80 long as the Republican party can hope to
succeed by defaming the south.

THE RADICALS.
The accidental successes of the Republi-
cans in the late elections have turned the
heads of the leaders. They seem to forget
that their victories are only pluralities and
won through the divisions of their oppo.
nents. They went into the contest expecting
to be defeated, and, because they were not
annihilated, they have determined to make
another desperate effort to retain power
Having heretofore triumphed by appealing
to sectional hatreds, they have commenced
the old game Of formenting discord and sec
tional issues. Fraud and intimidation are
sounded all along the Radical line. The pro-
gramme for inauRurahng sectional hostililes
will sicken the heart of every patriot, north
or south, who desires peace. 1t is now de-
clared that thirty Republican candidates for
congress have been voted out and counted
out of the forty-sixth congress from the
south. 1t is proposed TO organizs a new re-
belllon, to band the north and west together,
and make open war upon the certifcats

The people of the south were conquered by
the people of the north, but the noise of the
cannon and the wounds of bullets never
reached or touched the hearts of the southern
people. But the conquests of peace have
done more than the conquests Of war; four
months of the sympathy of the north have
done more than four years of war could do;
they have cemented and united the southern
people in a gratitude and friendship toward
the north which shall be for all time

Young. Later touching address was made
