ATARlFF OPPOSED TO LABOR.

From the recent speech of Senator
Jones, OF Nevada, we make the extract
following:
have noticed, Mr.. President, that
most of those who are In favor of the
largest liberty being extended to the
Chinese Immigrant to this country are
also in favor of tariff-a tariff which
has been urged as necessary to protect
the American laborer from the degra-
dation of the competition with the pau
per labor of Europe, as it is usually
termed. In reality, if we may judge
of their motives by the action of the
men who are now advocating a tariff,
It was not the American laborer they
wished to protect against the pauper
labor of Europe, but it was the Amer
that they wished to protect against the
free competition of the capitalist of Eu-
rope. Our capitalist manufacturer want
ed larger interest on his money than
the capitalist of Europe was willing to
accept, and he was given the benefit Of
q tariff.
Let US see how that tariff works. 1t
works in this wise: that everything
that the capitalist manufacturer has to
sell he sells in a protected market, he
sells In a market which foreign capital
lists cannot compete with him.
How is it with what he has to buy ?
For the principal article he has to buy,
to-wit, the labor of men, he demands
FREQ trade in the broadest sense, not only
free trade in bringing in laborers of our
own race who can soon accommodate
themselves to our conditions of life, but
the bringing in u class of laborers who
have been Injured to poverty by thou
sands of years of training. The CAPT.
talist asks the broadest free trade for
that. his own market in any event be-
ing protected.
Now, how is it with the laborer
Everything he wants to buy he has to
buy from his capitalist master ina pro-
tected market; everything he has to
sell, to-wit, his labor land unlike the
capitalist, he cannot hold it away from
sale; unlike the capitalist, he cannot
wait for better times or travel here and
there where he pleases to sell Il, but he
must sell 1t every day., he must sell In
the openest market in the world. This
is the theory in favor of the laborer that
the gentleman propounds to us. We
reject it, aud by this bill propose to bar
out this degrading, this shocking COM
petition with our own people. And yet
he tells US that we are striking blow
At labor, that we are proposing 10 in
dict Injury on the laborers of our coun-
try
Alb, sir, when the artisans aud labor
era OF this country shall be made to un-
deEstaod that they are subjected to free
trade In labor they will demand as one
Of the conditions of their existence that
they shall have an open market in
which they must sell their labor, the
only thing they have to sell. They will
never consent to tariff on bales and
boxes and hampers of goods coupled
with free trade in human brain aud
muscle.

BEAR AND DEER SWIMMING THE MIS-
SlSSIPPI.
[Natchez Democrat, 14th. |


Few persons, we imagine, had any
idea of the vast number of deer still
left in the swamps of Louisiana, until
by the high water of the present sea-
son. In the Immediate vicinity of
Natchez there have been hundreds, and
we may probably be speaking within
bounds when we say thousands, of
these beautiful animals, which have
crossed the river within the space of a
few miles above and below this city.
Worn and exhausted as they have been,
after their long swim across the swollen
river, they would have fallen an easy
prey to the pot hunters vino only hunt
for profit, had it not been for the extra
ordinary eXertions of the true sports
men of the county, and humane people
who despise wanton cruelty. On Sun
day last several gentlemen in their Sun
day rambles found a number of deer
that had fallen into a ravine, from
which they found it impossible to get
out. With true humanity they went
to work and dug pathway by which
the little animals could find their way
out OF the ravine, helped them to mount
to the top of the bank, and sent them
on their way rejoicing to the green
woods of the country. Instances of
the same kind of humane feeling have
been, we are glad to say, the rule of the
people of this vicinity, while the dis
position to capture and kill the deer has
been the exception.
-Four black bear crossed the river at
Giles place on Monday. Some of the
colored men living on the place were
anxious to kill them, but were afraid
to do so lest they should be amenable
to the law. This is the first instance of
which we have heard where bear were
driven out of the Louisiana swamps by
high water

1t would appear from the following
paragraph copied from the ST. Martins
vile Observer that the Democrats Of
the Third Congressional District are
if not badly demon
allied:
The Iberia Journal advocates the
candidacy of Hon. Judge Fontelieu as
Representative of this district in Con-
gress, and adds, that, "were he nomi-
mated by the Convention to be held in
Donaldsonvillc, the back bone of the
district Democracy would be broken
for generations to come" Personally
we have no earthly objection to Judge
Fontelieu, who is a friend of ours, and
whom we hold in high esteem. But
you are in error, neighbor. The Dem
ocratic party has no back bone to break
in this district, which is overwhelm-
ingly Republican. Any other Repub-
lican would do the work just as we'll.
1t is the guilt, not the scaffold, which
constitutes the shame.

mingtou (Del.) Daily Republican, lately
contained the following item of popular
interest: DIR. j. F. Speck, who is con
nected with che Wilmington Eoery Ecen
ing speaks rather enthusiastically of St.
Jacobs Oil. DIR. Speck states that he
uses the Oil in his family as a household
remedy, a sort Of universal panacea for
all aches and pains, and has always found
it to act most happily. His attention
was called to it by the many testimonials
in it's favor, and he one day used it upon
himself for sore throat. Two applica-
tons were sufficient to effect a cure. He
also used it on his little girl for sore
throat with gratifying success. The
same child had scarlet fever this winter
which left the tendons OF one leg much
contracted. The little prattler couldn't
walk without assistance and suffered
much inconvenience and pain. Several
applications of St Jacobs Oil restored Der
limb to its normal condition and she has
not experienced any trouble since. Dr..
Speck states that he has also seen the Oil
act charmingly in toothache. He thinks
st. Jacobs Oil is a sterling remedy, and
does not hesitate to recommend it tor
rheumatism, etc.
