a practical illustration of the virtue
Of the old prOverb, Take care Of the
pennies and the dollars will take care of
themselves" is furnished in the state
ment of the Bank of England.
We do not remember to have found a
more fOrcible lesson of the value OF
economy in small things than this. The
Bank of England pays the interest di-
vidends OH the British national debt
When the payment falls due the ex-
chequer transfers the amount ca bloc to
the Bank and the Bank distributes the
sum to the creditor.
In this distribution every one receives
his dividend to the penny. To the last
penny, but never beyond. Asthe bank
could not conveniently break the penny,
ttssT7ss & &C asesc,ounts have remained in It's
hands. 1t has held them, however, not
for its own gain, but with the stricteSt
exactness and honor, a. agent for the
government. Year after year, genera
ton after generation, the amount of the
unpayable fractions has increased, till
now the accumulation stands pretty
near upon S75O,OOO. OF this ineredita-
BILE aggregate s4O4, 1856 has come through
the fractional margins on 3 per cent.
rOnsols, SlO3,936 on the new and re-
duced per cents, S72,374 on the p per
cents, and S35,O16 on other items of
liability. The total savings amounts to
S7l6,S12, and the bank Is about to write
off the sum to the credit of the public
treasury.
penny wise and pound foolish" says
the proverb. 1t is plain that the wisdom
of the penny rests in this case, with the
British government. How many of u5
in the course Of a life time of business
throw away handsome little forum
by ignoring the penuy?

oUR VOTING POPULATION.

The recent census bulletin, showing
the voting population of the United
States, is one Of the most interesting
and instructive that has been sent out
from the department.
1t shows of what q strangely compos-
tie population our country is composed.
Numbers Of the cities of the country
have foreign voting population largely
exceeding the native. OF these are
Brooklyn, New York City, Buffalo,
Chicago, Dubuque, Detroit, st. Paul,
San Francisco, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Portland, Oregon, Milwaukee, and q
large number Of smaller places. The
foreign voting population Of Chicago is
nearly double the native, a fact which
largely accounts for the phenomenal
growth of that town.
In three of the States the foreign-hOrn
males of voting age outnumber the nA-
tives thus:
Natives. Foreign.

Taking the entire United States, in
which the total number of males of the
voting age is 1851, 437, there are 2,9S4.-
500 of this number who are foreign
born.
West Virginia shows q smaller pro-
portion Of foreign born population than
many Of the States. The total numb r
of foreign born males over 2l years Of
age Is 9,2OS as against 123, 1859 native
born. We haye almost as many eoldred
voters as foreign, the former number
ing 6,SS4.
The proportion Of persons Of voting
age in the foreign population is Is per
cent, or nearly one to two, while the
proportion Of the voting age of natives
is only l9per cent, or d. little over onetb
five. 1t was not generally supposed so
large q proportion of the immigration to
the country was of adult males 1t also
shows that in a eolored population OF

surance In connection with duty Of Is
cents per bushel, that no revenue will
ever be derived from this item, it cam
not be designed as 'tariff for revenue,
only.n 1 -
It must, therefore, have been designed
as tariff for "protection," and the
farmer Is supposed to be the beneficiary.
But the amount of benefit derived by
the farmer from the duty on potatoes
is like that derived from some other arti-
Giles of general use and consumption by
which the so-called protection operates
to benefit no one and becomes burden
to everybody. -, -gt 8, .- II
1t is only when there Is almost . total
failure of the potato crop in this coun-
try that there is any danger OF importa-
tons from abroad. We can raise pota-
toes cheaper than they can be raised
anywhere in Europe. Only once in the
memory of the present generation have
potatoes been imported in any consider
able quantity and that was in eonse-
uuenee of the general failure Of the crop
last year. .a...
How'did this tariff benefit the farmer
or the consumer last year? Most ofthe
farmers themselves, had TO buy potatoes
for seed, paying for them not only the
high price caused by the scarcity, but a
fifteen cent duty on the bGshel besides.
There were hundreds of thousands OF
laboring families who used potatoes and
found themselves taxed fifteen cents a
bushel on necessary article Of food for
the supposed benefit of class who were
complaining of the same tax.
1t is safe to predict that We will never
hear of the importation of foreign po-
tatOes again, even if the duty were re-
moved, except in the event ola failure
of the crop at home, when everybody,
farmer and consumer alike, would be
benefited by having them imported. 1t
is only one of the many protective du-
ties of our tariff system, levied under
the pretence of benefiting the farmer,
that is q cheat and fraud upon the
people, and of no possible profit to any
hNdy .....

The account of what is termed a
"Beer Riot in Maine" is very sugges-
tive piece of news. If prohibitOry laws
have any influence as reformatory
measures, it would seem that afterthirty
wears of trial in Maine, public sentiment
ought 70 be pretty well settled in favor
the advocates of sumptuary laws, if af-
ter thirty years trial State finds that
these laws continue to invite only diff
ance from the people. But this is exact
IN the condition in Maine, as indicated
by the character of the riot referred to,
the particulars of which are as follows:
AUGUSTA, Me-, August 27.-There was
great excitement here Saturday evening, in
connection with liquor seizure. Joshua
Nye, a well-known prOhibitionist and tenn
perance worker, yesterday procured war
rant, under the provisions of the State
liquor law, against the Hoyt Il Co. express
company, dong business by the Boston
boat, for bringing malt liquors to the city.
supposed for illegal sale. The deputy sheriff
took the warrant to serve it. He found the
COmpany's store-houSe locked up, broke the
lock, and found siXty-two cases OF beer,
addressed to different parties, nearly all of
whom are known to be fictitious names.
Teams were engaged to haul the beer to the
county Jail An immense crowd gathered,
some Of whom pulled the men from the
{, ans threw stones and bricks 1T them,
seized the beer and made away with it. The
city officers did nothing to stop these pro-
cerdingS. One man named Wade was cut
badly in the forehead. Another was severely
bruised about the limbs and body, being
dragged from the cart. One officer was cut
on the arm. More than 500 men and boys
composed the crowd.

TIE cLARKsBURG PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Repub-
liean Congressional Convention, at
Clarksburg, yesterday, is, to say the
least, of rather peculiar construction.
Aside from glittering generalities and
false rhetoric, it is full of the most
striking incongruities. For instance, it
endorses the River and HarbOr steal,
and in the same breath praises the con-
duct of the President who vetoed 1t; 1T
demands tariff for the protection OF
labor and dominates millionaire; 1t
dishes out taffy to the cOlOred brother,
vet the only member of that race in the
Convention was howled down when he
attempted to speak; it endorses Civil
Service Reform, while halfthe delegates
had receipts in their pockets for the two
per cent. paid JAY HUBBELL; they ask
for free vote and a fair count, yet were
the first to ostracise their friends and
reighbors a few years since. In short,
there is no one plank which is not in
opposition to their past political action,
and taken all together, it is about as
weak performance as was ever put
forth by Convention.

The Tariff Commission will hold session
in this city, whenever work has been re-
sumed. peace restored and everything again
lovely. 1t would never do to have our
friends who are in favor OF high Protec'
tive tariff on that Commission, to ask why
the mills are idle under the present tariff
WHY forty thousand men are out of en-
ployment7 Why protection does not pro-
tect? Why Republican manufacturers re-
fuse to their operatives small advance,
and vet insist upon high protective du-
ties for the sake of labor? Why the
manufacturers continually assert that Re-
publican members of Congress and Repub.
lican Presidents must be elected, else the
iron trade will be rui ned, the mills remain
idle and workmen be without bread? Now
the Republican manufacturers elected their
Congressman and President and the tariff is
unchanged; yet the bottom has been
knocked out of the iron trade, the mills
have not turned wheel for three months.
Thousands of workingmen are walking the
streets without work or the promise OF it.
1t would never do to have this shorter cat
echism propounded until the strike is over.
