English Talk to Englishmen.

1t is not often that we get at the expressions
Of local English journals to English people re-
gardng the tariff. Once in a while, however,
these candid expressions of opinion reach us,
as the following extract from the Machinery
Market proves:
The year is likely to see important political
changes on the other side of the Atlantic, which
Will have their influence on business here.
Events move rapidly in America and the com
Ing triumph of the Democratic party there
means the triumph Of the free trade movement
in the States. 1t is not to be supposed that
there will be free imports into the States, but
"A tariff for revenue only which is the leading
cry of the Democrats, will open an immense
additional field for the sale of English manu-
featured goods in the States.'
Md yet the Morri>onS, the Hurds and the
'Par>ee merchants" imagine that the mass of
intelligent people in this country do not under
stand III whose interest their proposition to
break down the protective features of our tariff
is designed.
\ few months ago leading paper published
i'll Manchester, England. said:
"Once remove the barrier of protection in
the United States and we will shut up every
cotton mill in the country in two years.
The above was not printed for the pernsa of
Americans unless they are of the limited class
which believes that it is violation of natural
law, for the United States to engage in manu-
featuring enterprises. Alexander Forbes re-
Gently delivered an address before the Aber-
deem Philosophical Society. in which he gave
uttcrance TO some statements which must have
been intended for the British reader and hearer
exclusively. He declared that Birmingham and
Sheffield mechanics ARE unable to earn half
the amount of their former wages" and that
most of the large concerns which a few years
back Were dividing 30, 40 and 30 per cent. now
pay nothing, and all their shares are at a dis
count IN the market. In Sheffield there are 5000
and in Birmingham 10000 tenantless houses. In
the same address Mr.. Forbes said
"A meeting of over 1000 weavers was held
at Coventry last September to protest against
free trade, and expressed themselves at loss
to understand why Meu' class should be so much
better of in countries which have never ex peri
enced its blessings. Such meetings have not
been unusual lately. Our working people are
beginning to see that, while productions are
kept out of every foreign port. the productions
of foreigners are let in freely here, and they
think this unfair. and who can blame them?''
Recently Mr.. Lister, one of the greatest in
ventors of textile machinery and one of the
greatest silk manufacturers, stated in Bradford
that "since the French treaty of 1861 there had
been a loss in the workmen's wages in the silk
goods imported into England from the Cont
nent of between $3.50 600 900 and $500 600 000.''

The Fltz John Porter Case.

Senator Logan, with the aid of Congressman
Boutelle and other Republicans of Maine, has
discovered, it is said, new evidence in the Fitz
John Porter case which may result in reopen
ing the case. This evidence is furnished by
Orderly Sergeant Josiah Getchell of Brunswick.
Maine. who was member of the First Maine
cavalry and is said to have carried a verbal
order from Pope to Porter at A. NJ. August 30
1862. Nothing appears about this order in the
previous investigations of the case. 1t is aleg-
ed that if Porter had moved as ordered at that
time, he would have been able to take, without
opposition, the position which Longstreet oc-
cupied twenty-four hours afterwards

in such company without FORGETTING the
American character of the vessel, and he dis

The Spanish Of Southern California re-

superstition, that since the advent of the

Prior to the settlement of the whites this
frequently occurred, and nothing was
thought of it, but now it would be re-
garded as a phenomenon. Last season
nearly everybody predicted a "Wet year
