wants all their agricultural products

wants all their agricultural products
in exchange, at remuneratlve prices.
That in consequence of her greatly
advantageous condition for benefit
ting foreign agriculturalists, she has
removed all duties from foreign
goods on reaching her shores, and
that they should accord her an equal
lv free market for her wares, and
that by granting this untrammeled
reciprocity they would be enabled
to purchase at the lowest prices,
from the cheapest ware-rooms of
the world. Such is the brief and
liberal code of free trade exponency,
professed with all the exaggeration
and misconception of interested and
half-educated writers who are habit
ually vexing intelligent men with
their crazy misunderstanding of the
subject.
The writer well recollects that in
the worst phases of the Irish famine,
the absurdity o. the free trade
doctrines were intensified by the
peremptory refusal Of the govern
ment to interfere with the ordinary
operations of trade, coupled with the
cruel statement that, while thousands
were dying with hunger, nothing is
more essential TO the welfare of the
country than that strict adherence
to free trade be observed. Thus it
was decreed that the food in the
depots at various points in Ireland
should not be sold to the starving
millions till the autumn. The result
was that the poor people, with the
money in their hands, died, vainly
begging, for the love Of God! food
from the Government stores. Com
missioners, inspectors, and clerks
were exhorting the dying people to
study the ten thousand books, and
fourteen tons Of pamphlets on free
trade and political economy.

What ,gra.e Merit WIZ DO.

The unprecedented sale of B0s-
chee's GerDtan Syrap within few
years, has astonisbed the world. 1t
is without doubt the safest aud best
remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and effectual cure Of coughs,
colds and the seyerest lung troubles.
1t acts on an emf ELY different prin-
ciple from the usual prescriptions
given by Physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the dis
ease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause Of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy con
dition. A bottle kept in the house
fer use when these diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors
bills and a long spell of serious i'll
ness. A trial viii convince you of
these facts. 1t is positively sold by
all druggists and general dealers in
the land Price IS cents, large

Editors Tr5bune:---Now that tn

right understanding of the subjec.
in dispute, to examine its effect upon
the trade and productions Of cur
country. "The protective tariff
levied upon foreign merchandise by
the government of the United States
has tendency in proportion to such
increase of duty, TO diminish lmpor-
tation: the importation being dlmln-
ishes, and the foreigner less able to
buy, the demand for our domestic
produce is diminished, and It's price
in our markets falls accordingly"
Here an evil result, on It's face,
seems to be fairly made out against
tariff, though very indefinite IN ITS
character; but is it not very PLAN,
that though an evil in that sense, 1t
must be extremely, if not insenslbly
small. The principle cannot effect
trade practically, while as mere
abstraction we must admit it. we
must not estimate the decrease OF
foreign demand for our productions,
by the proportion which the DIM
mutton of our importation from
abroad bears to its whole previous
amount; but by the diminution OF
the foreign total demand for the
articles which we produce and eA-
change for foreign materials Here
seems to be a principle, if not the
only ground Of sophistry or error on
The subject. Still, for the sake OF
argument, let us suppose that there
is more in this abstract objection
than has been allowed, is there not
greater reason to suppose that 1t IS
more than neutralized by the multi
piled nd, antages flowing from the
system Of tariff to the government
and country in other directions.
Must we not allow it to be a matter
Of much moment, that this system
is the only means by which excessive
expectations Of exhausting crops
can be possibly kept in check, and
a market for our perishable and
bulky productions built at our doors;
so that 10y transferring large body
Of our population from the field to
the loom and workshop, we dimin-
ish the amount, and augment the
price Of agricultural products, while
al the same time the condition Of
things are improved, generally. Is
it small matter to MS that by regu
lating, encouraging and extending
domestic manufactures, we increase
competition, and the prices ri good,
are lowered? Is the augmentation
of our national independence and
security, by manufacturing within
ourovu borders all articles Of prime
necessity, matter 10 be overlooked
or despised? These advantages are
manifest results of system of well
regulated protective tariff. But, say
our new school economists, 81 on
must not do this, il would inhct
woiul injuries on commerce aud
civilization; better for you to buy
IN the cheapest market, aud sell in
the dearest, and here the story of
the spider ard the fly is cunnlngly
presented, by quoting the shopkeep-
er'S rule for imitation, without af-
tording the ehopkcepcr's resource Of

Light Two Mile. Under Water.

In the Lake of Geneva Messrs. Fol
and Sarasin found sufficient light to
affect very sensitive Photographic
plates at about $50 feet, the light at
that depth being about equal at mid
day to that at the surface on a clear,
moonless night. In the Mediterranean
during bright sunlight the last trace of
light was lost at depth of 1900 feet
But an examination of the eyes of GER
tain crustaceans lately dredged from
the abyssmal regions of the Atlantic
convinces Prof. S. I. Smith t,lat des-
pite the objections of physicists, some
light probably reaches even beyond
$4,000 feet. He thinks that on account
Of the purity of the water in mid
ocean, light may reach this depth as
readily as 5000 feet or even 1900 feet
near the shore. -14r1ansdW Trareler.

A QUEER PLANT.
1lss Curious Capers Cut by the Leaves OF
the Justicia Picta.

1Ias Curious Capers Cut by the Leaves OF
| the Justicia Picta.
One of the most remarkable plants
in the whole vegetable kingdom is that
| known to botanists as the Justictd Ptctd,
which has been we'll named 1.-The Car
feature Plant"
At first sight it appears to be a
heavy, large-leafed plant. with purple
blossoms, chiefly remarkably for the
light-yellow centers of its dark-green
leaves. When l first saw this odd
plant and was thinking what a sickly,
blighted appearance the queer, yellow
stains gave it, was suddenly impressed
with the fact that the plant was ''mak-
ing faces" at me. And my first inn
| preston was correct. This curious
shrub had indeed occupied itself in
growing up in ridiculous caricatures OF
the ''human face divine" until it now
stood, covered from the tOpmOst leaf
| down, with the queerest faces imagina-
bic. Nature had taken to caricaturing.
The fesh-colored profiles stood out in
strong relief against the dark-green OF
| the leaves.
A discovery of one of these vegetable
marks led to an examination Of Sec
| ond and third leaf, until all were
scanned as closely and curiously as the
leaves of the comic papers that form
the caricature plants of the literary
kingdom.
What valuable plant this would be
for one of our professional caricaturists
to have growing in his conservatory!
When an order was sent to him for a
speaking likeness" of some unhappy
politician, he could simply visit his
Justicia Picta with paper and pencil in
hand, and look over the leaves for a
suitable squint, grin or distorted nose
| to sketch from. He could moreover
afiim with truth that the portrait was
'.taken from nature" Cuthbert Col
lingwood, the celebrated naturalist,
says of the yusticia Picta: lone Of
those plants in the garden of Gustave
Dore would be worth fortune to him,
supplying him with never-failing
fund of grotesque physiognomies from
which he might illustrate every serio-
comic romance ever written" 1have
never heard of the cultivation of the
caricature plant in this country. but
botanists tell us that it is hardy shrub.
l think we should be CAD to see the
funny faces on its leaves. After all
the lovely flowers We are called upon to
admire, l am sure that a plant evidently
intended to make us laugh would re-
ceive warm welcome. Way,
! Ia st. Nicholas.
