How '.HIechanic'' Looks at the Free
 Trade Question.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 When you throw theory and sophistry to the winds, which is all the stock in trade free-tradsrs have, let us inquire what are the facts. First, what people upon earth better fed, clothed and educated than any other nation There can be but one answer. The American people, and chiefly because they are better paid. Wages are higher here than elsewhere. But does not the cheapness of living offset the difference in wages When 1t does the tide of emigration will cease to set to shores. The truth is if our people will live as most working people live in Europe, they can live almost as cheap, having as poor dwellings, poor food, consist ing of oatmeal, cabbages, potatoes, etc., do- ing without comfortable furniture, dress in lnsey woolsey, banish tea, coffee, sugar, butter. cheese. and almost banish meat from l their tables-and the cost of living will be 1 but little in favor of Europe.
 | Now I, speaking from a workingman' s standpoint, say, palsied be the hand that that | brings about this state of things in this country. If free trade prevails one of two things must happen. Either wages must l come down to a level with wages in Europe | Ca result which some of our large manufac- | turers seem to desire) or our manufacturers | give up business. And what then? The
 
 1 come tillers of the soil, in other words, cease to be consumers of the farmers products, and enter into competition with him, thus becoming nation of agriculturists. Then, happy day for England. She will gra- | ciously allow to feed her at whatever prices she pleases to pay for our great surplus after we have | all become farmers, and also take our cotton, | wool, metals, etc, at raw material prices and 1 return them to manufactured goods at fourfold the price she paid us for the materi- al the work being done by English artisans. Should that day ever come (which may the good God forbid ) people will no more flock l to our shores to better their condition, but the great United States will be on par with | Canada, Ireland, India, and, may I not now say, Egypt.
 Well may England start her Golden club in this country and send millions of gold to | hire the press, statesmen and teachers of po- l litical economy to advocate free trade. o | workingmen and farmers of America, be not | deceived Do not become hewers of wood 1 and drawers of water for old England. Bow not your necks to England's yoke and let her not sit like a vampire to suck your ifes best 1 blood, MECHANIC.

good old Democratic days, a man could buy good square drink of whiskey for cents three drinks, morning, noon and night for cents. Now one drink costs 10 cents, and three drinks cost 30 cents. A lnboring man or mechanic who earned only $1 a day could, in the old Democratic days, buy three drinks 0 day and have ninety one cents left with which to buy necessaries for his family. Now 8 laboring man or mechanic who earns only $1 day, after pay ing for three drinks of whisky, will have only 70 cents left with which to buy necessities for his family. And Governor Foster wants to have liquor SO taxed that whisky will cost 15 cents drink If it were so taxed the working man or mechanic with income of $1 day, after paying for three drinks would have left only 5 cents with which to buy necessaries for his family. It takes bushel of wheat, at $1 a bushel, to pay for ten drinks of whisky now. If Governor Foster shall have his way, it will take bushel and 8 half of dollar wheat to buy ten drinks In the good old Democratic days the farmer could have bought ten drinks with a bushel of dollar wheat and have 70 cents left.
 The composition and distribution of the g clear and interesting way by the G6ulots The party embraces several different branch es. Among these ''The Federal Union" counts over 15, ,OOO members "The Fedora tion of the Centre' has 5000; "The Social ist Union" 3,OOO; "The Blanquists" $50 !; "The Anarchists" 42O; the branch of "The Intransigeant" comprises about 500 men. Thus, there are in Paris about 22,O0O revolutionists. All differ as to their special aims. The Federalists uphold Communism and aim at the abolition of per sonal property. They have a weekly, the P7OletaSre. The members of The Federation of the Center are also Communists. and pub fish two journals, the Citoyen and Egdtite. The members of The Socialist Union call themselves '' evolutionists," and include many deputies and journalists. They believe that labor associations will save the country from all troubles, and are not considered dangerous. Their organs are the Radical, Justice, and the RappeJ. The Blanquists have no special programme. They want to agitate, revolutionize and get power, in order ''to liberate the people, as they say. In all the street disorders and riots that have occurred under the Republican regime the Blanqnists have always taken leading part. Formerly they published the paper -Nj Dieu ni NGttre (Neither God nor Master), but since it has been suppressed they have none. The Anar- chists, like the Russian Nihilists, demand the abolition of all existing authorities, whether political or social. Louise Michel is the lead ing star of the Anarchists. Under ths-coiors of the Intransigeant are several groups, in cluding ''The Revolutionary group of schools" [" ''The Anarchical group of Ration alists," "The group of Felix Pyat," ''rhe group of revolutionary corporations" and ''The French Section of the Executive Revo- lutionary International Committee" It is estimated that the revolutionists of Paris spend for agitation purposes about hun. dred thousand francs per year.

Tine English Army i'm Old Times l.. rFror, Plackwoods Mao,zins

From Waterloo till the Crimean war, a period of 40 years, our army had been peace army and for such an army long service was exactly suited. Work in peace time is mere routine; day follows day with military reg ularity, and for such work who could be better than men whose noses had been at the grindstone for 15 or 20 years? The men knew the work thoroughly, and took care when a recruit joined that he picked it up quickly too; it saved them trouble and pleas ed their officers, from whom all favors flow ed. Then what excellent sergeant majors quartermaster sergeants, and orderly room clerks could be picked out from men whom the colonel or his ad iutant had known for a dozen or more years! What color sergeants we had in those days, when the captain of company came down once week to the barrack room, and, after going round tho 'kits," all laid out with mathematical exacti tude, went into his color-sergeant's neat room, and signed his name to some score of papers, written in copper-plate hand, and correct to a farthing when accounts were in question. What excellent drill-sergeants were those stentorisn voices echoed across the barrack square, calling terror into the hearts of the recruits opposite them, and pleasant smile across the face of the general, who might just then be taking his morning ride, and who doubtless remembered it at his next inspection when he complmented the colonel on the splendid appearance of ''the regiment under your command, owing, as know from personal experience, to the incsssant pains which have constantly been bestowed upon the drill and department of the soldiers I now sec before me :" And in the evening afterward, when he dined at the regimental mess, how we'll the old mess but Ter had everything in hand how necessarily the champagne loaned in the glasses how noiselessly the walters moved what good dinner 1t was, and how pleased every one was from ensign upward, at its successful wind up! We'll, every waiter in the room wore couple of ''good conduct rings'' and had engaged for his second term of II years while the mess sergeant had been 19 years in the regiment, and lived in hopes that he might die in it What comfort, too, were the servants in old daysl How spotless was your uniform how carefully polished your boots gloves white snow-sword and saddlery furnished to brightness now un- known No wonder officers miss their ser wants and sigh for the Hong service" which produced them.

The canvass in Indiana, it is said, looks well for the Republicans. The outspoken opposition of many prominent Democrats to the position of their party on the liquor ques- tion has tended to strengthen the confidence of the Republicans in their ability to carry the State. Senator Harrison will make a general canvass of the State next month, and will be assisted by Senator Frye, of Maine.

Mir. Grondhomme. distinguished French chemist, has just made public some valuable information concerning the alleged poisonous properties of aniline dyes now so extensively used in the manufacture of socks, stockings, and other fabrics worn in contact with the cutaneous surface. Suoh dyes are especially used in the fancy fabrics sold for the wear of children from to 10 years of age, and in the blues and various red shades of gentle mems socks. M. Grondhomme declares that the cases of poisoning recorded by medical men as due to these dyes are really traceable to the arsenious acid used in the preparation of the colors, not to the coloring matter it. self. The fumes of a few of the dyes aris- ing from the manipulation of petroleum pro- duce difficulty of respiration when persist ently inhaled. This is true of naphtholin, for example. Others are perfectly neutral and inert in their effects, and possess no tox- ic potency whatever, and to this category belong aniline and it's immediate relatives.

THE GREAT HEALTH RESTORER.-
In all ages of the world the skill and sci
entif1c attachments of man have been directed
to a study of the various ills to which it is heir.
IT, after years of constant application, some
distinguished physician has succeeded in COM
pounding an agent by which the slightest ache
may he overcome. he has been hailed as great
benefactor Of his race, and with great proprie-
ty the world have gladly sung peans to his
praise. This being proper, in the discovery of
a remedy for single disease. how much more
indebted are the whole human family to the
inventor of Bakers Bitters, medicine that
has stood the test of time, and proved a pana-
cea for Dyspepsia, DiarrhHa. Cholea Morbus,
Cramp Collie, 4iddiness. Nervous Debility,
Loss Of Appetite, and Sour Stomach, while the
various nostrums of quacks and empires have
fourished for an hour and then disappeared
never again to be revived.

From our correspondent "Laurence."]
We have had 80 little to communicate for
spell, you have doubtless concluded "tis dead
and kilt we are" as Pat would say.
Dame Rumor is a lying Jade. and it is not
safe. as general thing. to talk after her. but
We are correct In saying that something is be-
ing done by the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
touching q depot near this place. 1t is given
out that citizen of your town, who is as
shrewd as any one in your corporate limits,
has proposed to the Company to give them
ground for their depot, If they will accept 1t
and place 1t on his land, lately the Pelter land.
This gentleman has profited so much in the ar
rangement he made with the Richmond and
Allegheny at Clifton Forge, Of similar char
acter, that no one is surprised at his acumen
here.
Rumor has it.also that the Shenandoah VAL
ley contemplates building bridge at or near
the site of the Grouse ford to enable persons to
reach their depot from this side. It is suggest
ed that the nearness of the cars on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad would make it too
dangerous, and to obviate that difficulty, 1t
would be better to use the Staunton and
Scottsville turnpike, and either rebuild the
bridge or substitute with q submerged ford, as
at the old Donell ford above this.
