The balance of trade" is bringing consider
able sums Of gold from England to the United
States. One steamer landed 100000 worth OF
bars at New York yesterday Chtcogo Tjmes
Goth.
While this heavy importation Of goldIs pos
sibly, IN certain lights, healthy business
symptom, a few thoughts in that connection
may be probably pondercd by the Illinois
producer. Illinois, for instance, this year Will
need for her railroads $4,000 tons of steel rails
England on the other hand, will need $50,
100000 worth of Illinois grain, beef and pork
England is very willing and anxious TO eX
change with Illinois $4,000 tons of steel rails
for 100000 bushels of wheat; but instead o.
making that exchange, Illinois is, by our beau
tiful tariff system, compelled to bring back
about 100000 IN gold for her 100000 bush
els of wheat and pay her gold to the Pennsyl
vana iron master for II ,275 tons of steel rails
instead of the $4,000 tons England would have
given her but for the tariff enacted for th,
benefit Of the Pennsylvania iron masters. Herr
is a clear loss to Illinois of over million an(
a quarter of dollars on single transaction. o
course, it tends to make times good in Penn
sylvanla and we could afford 1t if Pennsylva
mia was in the habit of paying large sums IL
some other way to help make times good il
Illinois; but Pennsylvania rebels against ever
the lghtest duty on Canada wheat or barley
and nearly went INTO fits over the proposition
to levy light duty on foreign woods to benefi
the farmer Doubtless tariff protection is yer,
nice for the protected, but it bears down pre-,
ty heavily sometimes on those who must stan'
the shot.

PENDLETONISM.

The best Cor worst lied about public man in
the United States has been George III. Pendlc
ton. The lie that he was an intiaIionst tia'
money lunatic, &c, &c, was so thoroughly
propagated by the republican press for ten
years that most of the editors religlously be
lleved 1t, so that they now open their mouths
in unaffected astonlshment to find Mr. Pende
ton expressing his qualification that reSump
ton Is fact, that he hopes II will be main
tanned, and that he will do nothing to interfere
with it, The fact is, Pcndeton never was CIV
en- greenbacker. The most he ever did was
to propose, in 1867, we believe, that, as this
country must have seven or eight hundred mil
lions of paper money anyhow, it would be
more sensible to take up the $500 OO0 900 OF
bank bills then in circulation and issue in lieu
and stop the interest on $3O0000000 of } 20
government bonds, than to give Wall street the
profits on 50 heavy IA paper issue, The propo.
sition was so just and sensible yet so injurious
holding their go bonds for gold, that they
overwhelmed poor Pendleton with such a flood
Of falsehood and defamation that his skirts
are even yet tainted with the filth. Now the
truth is, Pcndleton was rather an original anti.
greenbacker When the bill was before con

Three years ago bluchill was one OF the

the word. But to-day IL Is busting with
iife and activity. all owing to the advent OF

found one OF the richest copper deposits In
the world Work has been carried on 10
such al extent that this can no longer be
doubted.
Every known ore Of copper can be found
here, including specimens OF native cop
per. The quantity Ia unlimited, and the
quality IL Inferior To none. The one great
advantage that ovcr-shadows all others j.,
that the location Is so near tide water that
the ore or metal can be shipped to the
market a. a trifing expense. compared
with other copper mines. While IL costs
10 cent. per pound Tor every pound OF cop
per metal TO place 10 the New York mar
Aet from the Lake Superior mines, it only
costs 1 IL cents for the same from these
mines; consequently these mines can
work probably when the Superior mines
are Obliged to shut down. Labor. fuel,
freight aud all the supplies for copper
mining can be procured at Bluehill far
cheaper than AZ any other similar mines Ia
