An essay in prominent eastern
publication attempts an inquiry as to
whether the English nation can actu-
ally pursue its competition with the
United States. There are occasional
intimations that England is growing
tired of her free trade policy, because
she finds protected nations diving her
from her markets aud aomralli~s ho~
manufacturers to reduce wages to the
starvation point. But it is not easy
to see how protection would remove
these difficulties. England is not her
own customer III her metal and textile
manufactures, except to a very limited
extent, and protection for her could
hardly have other effect than to in
crease the cost and price of all pro-
ducts of this character, and still further
shut her out from the markets of the
world. 1t cannot be doubted that
England is losing some of the splendid
advantages she has held for one hun
dred years in furnishing goods for
other nations. The ascendency is slip
ping away from her because other
countries, chiefly our own, are becom-
ing able to produce the same or a bet
ter quality of goods at less cost than
she can. And it is justly observed
that the real source of her trouble is
not in her want of a protective policy,
but in the fact that she is encountered
with an excessively costly civil and po-
litical system. In short, she is handi-
capped with feudal privilege and the
faded tirselry of ancient forms. The
non-producing gentry and aristocracy
of the realm own four-ffths of the
land, and the support of these heredi-
tary classes, with the royalty of the
country and all its ornamental and
costly appendages and immense mill
tary and naval armaments, imposes
high rents upon the farmers; makes
food costly to the manufacturing me-
chanic, renders him unable to submit
to the reduced wages which competi-
ton renders necessary, and encumbers
the master manufacturer with great
difficulties and burdens. For ten
months ending November lst, the i'm
ports into the United Kingdom ex-
ceeded the exports by the prodigious
total of S746,000, 900, a large part of
which is on account of food. This
would not be an unfavorable sign if
England, as formerly, could hold the
worlds markets for her manufactured
products; but she is complaining of
gradual loss of that market, and the
news we have continually of the stress
of the times shows the increasing Sc
veritv of her industrial struggle.

On the night of Dec. 1lth large
grizzley came to the premises of j. L..
G. Smith, at the toll gate on the Idaho
road, and proceeded to the hog-pen and
made off with one of Smiths fattening
hogs. Up the steep hill he went with
the squealing porker. The squealing
of the hog aroused the sleeping family,
and Smith and his wife arose. Smith
seized his shotgun, Mrs. Smith the
lantern, and thus armed, they started
in pursuit of his bearship, fully re-
solved to redeem their pork or lose
their bacon. They followed the sound
of the squealing until they had ar
rived at the summit of the hill, and
there sat Mr.. Bruin, gnawing away on
the hog. Smith in the meantime had
got some distance in advance of Mrs.
s. The bear, on seeing him, left it's
prey and made dive at Smith He
says he made some very long steps un-
til he met his wife, who was still ad-
vancing with the light She, on see
ing Smith retreating, asked what it
was, and why he did not shoot. Smith
replied that it was a big bear, and that
he was afraid to shoot. "Shoot," said
Mrs. s., ''and let's seewhich will whip"
Smith fired and the bear left. Upon
examination they found that one shot
had struck the hog, killingit. SO they
saved the hog, but lost the bear If
anyone should find the bear, Smith
wants him-but wants him dead be-
fore delivered. Boise City Mahoan.

1t is common complaint that the
farm and farm life are not appreciated
by our people. We long for the more
elegant pursuits, or the ways and fash
ions Of the town. But the farmer has
the most sane and natural occupation,
and ought to find life sweeter, if less
highly seasoned, than any other. He
alone, strictly speaking, has a home.
How can a man take root and thrive
without land! He writes his history
upon his field How many ties, how
many resources he has; his friendships
with his cattle, his team, his dog, his
trees. the satisfaction in his growing
crops, in his improved fields; his init
macy with nature. with bird and beast,
and with the quickcning elemental
forces; his corporations with the cloud,
the sun, the seasons, heat, wind, rain.
frost. Nothing will take the various
social distempers which the city and
artificial life breed out of man like
farming, like direct and loving contact
with the soil. 1t draws out the poison.
1t humbles him, teaches him patience
and reverence, and restores the proper
tone to his system.
Cling to the farm, make much of it,
put yourself into it, bestow your heart
and brain upon it, so that it shall sa-
vor of you and radiate your virtue after
your days work is done John Bur

Scientific Ballot Boxing,

A grert deal has been said of the
tissue paper ballots with which the
ballot boxes in South Carolina were
stuffed at the recent election; and the
Cincinnati Gazette, having obtained
one of the ballots, prints fac simile
of it on the same kind of paper as the
original. One of them was inclosed
in each copy of a recent issue of the
Gaeette, SO that readers could see
specimen of this minute instrument
of fraud which dsfranchised the Re-
publicans of the state. The manner
in which these little jokers were used
is thus described: From twenty to
thirty of them were folded into a
regular ballot and dropped into the
box, and during the day one of the
judges would occasionally stir up the
contents so that the tissue ballots
would get well shaken out. Mean
while bogus names were written upon
the registers so as to have the number
of names correspond with the number
of votes. Whenever there was
surplus in the box blindfolded indi-
vidual would withdraw the extra
number, but was not so blind as to
take out any of the tissue tickets.
The managers of the fraud had full
possession Of the election boards, no
political opponent being allowed
seat in them, or as witnesses Of the
counting. In some of the precincts
they stuffed in more ballots than the
entire number of inhabitants of both
sexes and all ages. Ben Hill gets
mad in the senate and rails at the
President because the latter has ex-
pressed the opinion in his message
that these and other proceedings, en-
ployed for the purpose of making a
solid south, are not quite fair or COM
mendable.

An eastern exchange SAYS "that
the women who are contending for
the right of suffrage do not find much
encouragement to their cause in pre-
cedents. There is agitation for taking
away the right in Utah, and the same
will probably be the case in Wyom-
ing where the women take but little in
terest in exercising the voting privi-
lege vouchsafed to them. 1t is said
that not hals the women of Cheyenne
have cast ballot since the first two
Territorial elections, and that, al
though separate polling places are
established for women, it is only the
unlettered and coarser sort who, as a
general rule, participate in the cleo
tons. But one woman has held office

frage was conferred upon the Sex"

Senator Bayard of Delaware is al

Senator Bayard of Deleware Is al
most the only Democrat of promi-
hence in either branch of congress
who has not yielded something to the
popular folly of financial questions.
He alone has disdained to play the
demagogue upon the dangerous doc
trine. Had Senator Thurman acted
with equal adherence to principle
nothing could have prevented his Sc
lection as his party's candidate for the
presidency. At every step Mr.. Bay
ard has opposed and denounced the
dishonest propositions put forward
by his party associates; and in a
speech made not long ago he pointed
out some of the consequences of the
plan now brought forward of
substituting greenbacks for bank
notes, reminding those who heard
him that such an act would be
the conversion of taxable into untax-
able property. He would not exempt
new class of property from public
burdens.

Among other evidence that resump-
ton has come to stay, attention Is
called to the fact that the movement
of precious metals is in favor of the
country, Notwithstanding the large
return of our bonds from abroad.
Statistics for nine months show that
in 1878 we have kept nearly all our
gold and have imported a little silver.
1t also appears that the export of
trade dollars during nine months of
Us have been only sl,600,330,
against nearly SS,255,0o0 last year.
This indicates that the foreign mar
kets now open to our coin are already
glutted. In nine months of last year
we sent abroad SS,000,000 more trade
dollars than were returned to US, but
we took back during nine months of
this year $l,600,000 more of them
than we exported in the same time.
