A BRITISH CORRUPTION FUND.

English Subscription Paper.
To the Editor of the New York Tribune;
see by the Semi Weekly Tribune of the eth
inst that the Hon. j. P. Dolliver, of Iowa, af
firms that British gold is to be used in this
canvass We have in Maine an Englishman
who has built up from very small beginnings, for
himself and his sons, a very large and profitable
trade in the manufacture of special goods, which,
before his day always came from England. His
goods are of the very best and his prices are
much less than those AT which the imported arti
cles were sold.
L was his guest little while ago at his charm
ing home, when he told me this story. He was
at home England-and was one day in a large
warehouse of friend of his, manufacturer on
a large scale. A gentleman came in whom he
did not know and, taking his friend apart,
showed him a small memorandum book.
After a few moments talk his friend
went to his desk and drew a check which he
gave to the stranger, who went away. His
friend explained to him that it was his eontribu-
tor to fund for which all manufacturers were
assessed in proportion to the products of their
mills.
