From the strange impotence of
American consumers, and the undeni-
able domination achieved by their OPP
pressors, it might be imagined that the
latter outnumber the former. Yet, in
point of fact; all the mill owners and
operatives, all the employers and work
people who can be classed, even on a
liberal estimate, as concerned by the
maintenance of a restrictive tariff, are
no more than an inconsiderable hand
full beside the vast army Of workers
whose interests point straight toward
lower prices and larger power to
spend. Here are the official figures.
BY the census of 1870 the persons over
ten years of age engaged in occupa-
tons of every description numbered
u, sos, 923 in the whole country.
These were divided into four classes:
1. Agriculture claimed 1922, All, or a
little more than forty-seyen per CEN
tum. 2. The professions and person
al services accounted for 1854, 1913,
or twenty-one per centum. 3. Trade
and transportation employed 1,191,-
238, or not quite ten per centum.
These three classes absorbed 8, 79S. SOP,
or seventy-eight per centum Of the
whole. Thus nearly four-ffths of the
"persons of all occupations" through
out the United States marched by en-
tire divisions, with the harried army
of consumers. The fourth class is de-
scribed as " engaged in manufacturing,
mechanical and mining industries I"
This group, which of course contains
the protected employments. number
ed 2,707, 421, or not quite % per cen
tum of the whole body.
Yet let none imagine that this
fourth class is composed exclusively of
men who are, or, to put the point
more properly, who believe that they
are, benefited by high tariff. Far
from it. To two-thirds of the section
protection comes not as a blessing, but
as curse. The class contains ,S19-
325 workers, who belong beyond ques-
ton to the oppressed consumers. We
have grouped them in a table below:

GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, Nov. Ex-senator
Gordon, in a speech before the
Legislature, after referring depre-
catingly to the recent speeches of
Senators Blaine and Conkling and
Secretary Sherman, said: "Will
the masses of Republican voters
sustain these leaders in such pol
icy of oppression? I can not be-
lieve it. l can not believe they will
be sustained by that wing of the
party which supported President
Hayes in his patriotic recognition of
the fact that the war was ended in
the withdrawal of troops and leav-
ing Louisiana and South Carolina
the rights of self government. (Ap-
plause.)
81 wish you also to know, my
countrymen, that there are hundreds
of thousands of patriotic men in
that party, who, if they saw their
danger and the reactionary danger
to them would unite with you to
avert it. There are thousands Of
Christian men in that party who
do not sympathise with these wrongs,
whose hearts bled for our recent
Affections, and whose purses were
employed to relieve Southern suf-
fering. [ Applause, That was the
spectacle that was presented, the
better side of these men warmed
the great Southern heart and
caused it to beat once more in res
sponsive throbs to the great heart
Of the North as deep calleth unto
deep, Loud applause and South
ern prayers assembled that Jehovah
would not only reward them thou
sand fold, but that this great South
ern woe, made national by God-like
sympathy, might become the grave
of all animosities.
"But now what a revolution and
contrast At the very moment
when Southern suffering and North
ern benefcence were binding to-
gether these estranged sections
these grave Sena tors seek to reopen
wounds that were healing and re-
vive passions that were dying. At
the hour when good will was being
restored, when races were at peace,
when both races alike were enjoy
ing blessings of education and good
government, these leaders bring out
the bloody shirt again, run it up the
party staff and fly it as a symbol of
new civilization and restored union. -

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Chicago Journal says that al
against Blaine, Conkling will strair
every nerve to secure the Republican
| nomination for the Presidency ia 1880
but that he will not consent to tht
uae of his name as against General
Grant.
There will be more contested elections
before the next House of Representa-
tives than before any House for many
years. They will come from Massa
chusetts. Pennsylvania, New York,
Maryland, Indiana, North Carolina
Louisiana and Wisconsin.
Although Col. Ingersoll is an
aYowed Republican, he is neverthe-
less putting in some good work for the
Democratic party. His lecture to
prove that there Is 10 hell is one in
which the Democracy have personal
and absorbing interest, and it is q lit

which they adopt the eloquent Col

The argument in the case of HOff-
helms VS.. G. Russell Co. was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon by Mr..
Latrobe, of Baltimore, in the United
States Court room. AS soon as the
argument was through Judge Baxter
delivered his opinion. He said that
ordinarily in a case Of that magnitude
he preferred to withhold his decision
until he had opportunity for full in
vestfgation, but in the case before him,
after four days of exhaustive argu-
ment by able counsel, he felt he was
able to reach a conclusion entirely sat
isfactory to himself without further
investigation.
He then proceeded 20 state the facts,
showing how closely and attentively he
had followed the arguments and state
ment of facts by counsel. He stated
what in his opinion were the only
principles the complainant had em-
bodied in his original letters patent.
He then stated that the defendants
were not, in his judgment, infringing
any OF those principles, but that their
machine was in every respect more
simple, useful and valuable improve
ment. He then said that both the
re-issued letters patent subsequently,
taken out by complainant and under
which complainant claimed, were
void, and that therefore he would
dismiss his bill with costs.
The complainant gave notice of his
Intention to appeal the case to the
Supreme Court. The decree in the
case was prepared last night, and the
counsel left for their respective homes.

ordered.
He says warrants for the arrest

her wish to conscientiously execute
the treaty, only demanding that the
Porte shall do likewise. The ex.

rives from the treaty.

LEGATION OF TIE UNITED STATES,
LONDON, Nov. q, 1878.
To Ny Lord l have been in
structed by the President of the
United States to tender her Maj
esty's Government the sum of five
million five hundred thousand dol
lars in gold coin, this being the sum
named by the two concurring mem
bers of the Fisheries Commission
Cately sitting at Halifax under
the authority impaired there
to by the troaty of
Washington, to be paid by the Gov
ernment of the United States to
the Government of Her Britannia
Majesty. l am also instructed by
the President to say that such pay
ment is made upon the ground that
the Government of the United
States desires to place the mainte-
nance of good faith in the treaties
and the security and value of arbi-
tration between Nations above
all question. In its relation with Her
Britannia Majesty's Government, as
with all other Governments, under
this motive the Government of the
United States decides to separate
the question of Withholding pay
ment from the considerations touch
ing the obligation of this payment,
which has been presented to her
Majesty's Government in CORE
spondence, and which it reserves
and insists upon. am besides in
structed by the President to say
that the Government of the United
States deems it of the greatest i'm
portance to the common and friendly
interests of the two Governments,
in all future treatment of any ques-
ton relating to North American
fisheries, that her Britannia
Majesty's Government should
be distinctly advised that
the Government of the United
States can not accept the result of
the Halifax Commission as furnish>
ing any just measure of the value
of a participation by our citizens in
the inshore fisheries of British
provinces, and it protests against
the actual payment now made being |
considered by Her Majesty's Gov
ernment as in any sense an acqui-
escence in such a measure or as
warranting any inference to that
effect. I have the honor, &C.,

PRINTING OFFICE sEcRErs.


In any well regulated and properly
conducted printing Office the private
business matters aud secrets necessarily
connected Herewith are as carefully
guarded as are those OF q Masonic or
Odd Fellows Lodge. No oath Of
secrecy binds or controls tho printers in
this respect, but they are ruled by n
strong sense Of duty and honor. which
has crystallized this observance into n
general and permanent ruling principle.
In the language Of a contemporary {:
ANY employe in q printing office who
williully disregards this rule in relation
to printing Office secrets would not only
be seorned by all his brethren Of tho
craft, but would lose his position ct
once. We make this statement because
1t sometimes happens that a eommuni.
cation appears in a newspaper under an
assumed signature that e~1cites comment.
and various parties try to find out who
is the author. Let all be saved the
trouble OF questioning the employees OF
the printing Office. They are know
~nothings ON such points as these. On
such matters they have eyes and ears,
but no mouth andit any fail to observe
this rule. let them be put down rs dis
honorable members OF the craft. II Is
