BEGINNING To SEE IT.-If one of the
results of free trade is, as is argued by its
advocates, to equalize conditions and
bring all classes of society nearer a COM
mon level, England ought to present a
most striking illustration of such a level
ing prOcess-a practical democracy under
aristocrafic forms But what is the fact?
In what country are the extremes of pow
erty and wealth so sharply defined. or
| the gap between them so vast? Theoretic-
| ally, this free-trade argument looks very
pretty; practically, it is of no value, and
England supplies an illustration of this
| fact.
The white cliffs on which Dover Castle
lands are the lost objects which the trav-
eler loses sight of on his way to Calais,
aud the first object which his eyes discov-
er on his return journey homeward. The
buildings themselves are a standing wit
| ness of every change in English history,
from the occupation by the Romans to
the present reign. Both cliff and castle,
it might have been confidently prophesed
would last as long as the English nation
itself, but the cliffs are now being under
mined by the action of the sea. The
waves have for MANY years been gradual
" washing away the coast line on both
sides of Shakespeare's Cliff, and they
threaten to carry away the base of the
Castle of Dover.

why they bred the land pike hog. His
scornful look expressed contempt for my
ignorance. When he had gazed at me

| fleet as those living in the adjoining state.
At any rate, the hogs are not of the stock
| that | have seen in the woods of South
| Carolina standing gruntless looking into
the trees, watching for an acorn to fall,
and running off more flesh in their eager
race to secure The nut than two acorns
would produce. Outrun niger? Yes,
outrun blizzard and be just as good
eating.

the Pittston, Pa, Gazette recently said:
"Many persons in Pittston and vicinity

Colorado, the youngest of the sisterhood
of States, seems to be booming. Accor-
ding to Denver paper, her product of
gold, silver, lead and'copper last wear was
about $25,000,00O. This is great thing
in itself, but the developed coal mines in
that State during the last twelve months
have produced 2,250,OOO tons of coal.
With the coal are operated iron mines
and steel-mill that turned out last year
$1,000 tons of steel rails and $1,000 tons
Of steel ingots. There are over 5000

crop is 100000 bushels, and her cattle
and horses are assessed at $500, 900.
