Prince Bismarck, having taken the free
trade school at his word. gave the system
fair trial in Germany. and was not only
disappointed but alarmed by the results.
He became a projections in 1879 and has
seen no reason to regret his change of
economic faith. The new system has re-
vlved manufacturing and mining indus
tries, checked emigration, provided en-
poyment Tor the surplus population, and
impaired new spirit Of activity to the
Fatherland. He now assures Count Kali
noKy that protection is the only thing that
will save German industies. and has urged
him to adopt similar tariff schedules in

The Spanish mob at Almeria has been
bringing home to the rich men of that
town what the 1estivists call 1.-THE social
duties of wealth" When the cholera
came the rich men, who were the employ
ers of labor, shut up their houses and their
factories and fled. The people who were
too poor to flee, and who were made poor
err by the withdrawal of their employment
took vengeance upon their employers by
wrecking the houses their employers
could not take away. From a politico-
economical point OF view this is wanton
waste of wealth but the masses in Spain
are deplorably i'll instructed in political
economy. and there is much of human
nature in their procedure.

bath in the Senate bathroom. THIS
weakened him, and his system did not
recover from it. lie was taken down sick
at his boarding. house, and shortly after
ward died. His death occurred at 800
o'clock Monday morning, November
%. 1875. The cause was set down as
apoplexy. During his last hours he,
like Hendricks, was working upon
volume of memoirs or history, and he
hoped for these to leave some property.
He said in his last hours that he would
like to finish his book. Shortly before
be died he picked up q hymn-book, in
the front Of which his wife's picture
was pasted, and gazed at it for long
time. Fifteen minutes before he died
he heard of the death Of Senator Ferry,
of Connecticut, and it is believed that
the knowledge Of the death of one of
his dear friends FASTENED his death.
The death of Ferry had occurred the
day or night before, and his friends
had deferred telling him of it
until the last moment. As morning
went on and the time for the newspa-
pers to come approached, it was seen
that it would be impossible to keep the
news from him longer. lie was told OF
it and was greatly shocked to hear 1t.
Fifteen minutes later he was dead. lie
spoke Of his long life just before he
died, and said Z" Since first came to
the Senate eighty-three of the members
who first sat with me in the Senate
have passed away, and | don't suppose
any living man, except, perhaps, Ham
lin, can say that" Vice-President
Wilson had a great funeral here, and
he was carried with solemn celebrations
to Boston. / think his body lay in
state in Independence Hall in Philadel-
phia, and at Boston he was received
with great honor.
There are many curious facts in
American history. Here we have the
three Yice-Presidents, Gerry, Hen
bricks, and Wilson, dying in Novem-
Der at dates which might all come In a
single week. No President, either in
or out of office, has died in November,
though six have died in July and four
in June. Garfield died in September,
Lincoln in April, Taylor in July, and
Harrison in April. Two Vice-Presi-
dents. have been indicted for treason.
These were Aaron Burr and John
c. Breckenridge. One Vice-Presi-
dent, John &. Calhoun, has re-
signed his office, and seven men have
held both presidential and yice-presi-
Dental chairs. John Adams, Washing
toms President, succeeded him in
the White House. jefferson, Adams's
Vice-President, did likewise, and Mar
tin Van Buren,, one of Jackson's Vice
Presidents, was his successor. The
other four became Presidents by death.
They were Tyler, Fillmore, johnson,
and Arthur.

For the Providence Journals Benefit.
MARION, VA, Dec. 4, 1885.
IT, the Editor of the Dispatch .

To the Editor of the Dispatch
If the Providence Journal desires any
further information on the subject of
intimidation and ostracism Of cOlored
men who voted the Democratic ticket,
we have a few colored men here who
voted the Democratic ticket this time,
and ] will give you true statement OF
the way they were treated by their COL
ored Republican brothers
Mat. Maclanahan, a good and pious
Colored man, respected by all, was SUI
perintendent of the colored Methodist
Sunday school, and for voting Demo-
cratic was not allowed TO hold his office,
and has been snubbed in every way by
his cOlored brothers.
Billie George, An old, inotienslve COL
ored man, who has a good name and
tries to be a Christian and lives up
right, is local Methodist preacher, and
because he voted the Democratic ticket
was refused license to preach again by
the colored presiding elder, and was at
the altar on his knees to receive the
Communion and was refused the Holy
Communion before the whole church,
and has been iDsulted in many ways for
voting the Democratic ticket.
William Stevens, an old colored man,
for many years Baptist preacher
voted Democratic, for which his wife
left him and abused him shamefully
and his son gave him an old axe before
the election, but as soon as he voted
the Democratic ticket took the axe FROM
him, and, but for the white people,
suppose the old man would suffer fol
| bread.
The most amusing thing have heard
though, was Thursday morning after
election a colored woman asked ;
lady here for whom she worked, Wha
did they mean by the colored folks going
to be frying-Sized now?" She hat
heard the colored men talking and sup
posed they were saying the colored PEG
pie would be disfranchised now. Thos
stories were circulated, and the colore
people were told the colorcd free school
would be closed, &C., il the Democrat
got into power, and many other Store
equally as ridiculous were told them.
Yours most respectfully,
SOUTHWEST.
