THE BUGLEs ARE CALLING AGAIN.

The bugles are calling again,
The air with drum-beat is stirred;
On mountain, in valley, or plain,
The call t. the battle is heard,
They answer from mountain and plain,
They answer from lake to the sea;
''We come at the summons again,
To follow the flag of the free.
''Give us Man for chief,
\ man the occasion to suit:
No Knight of the Handkerchief,
No soldier by substitute:
No silken and scented rag,
No banner without a name
Ours be the starry old Flag
Scorched in the battles fierce flame!
In city, in forest, in field,
The sound of their coming is heard;
Like the raindrOps the summer clouds yield,
Like the leaves by the summer wind stirred
They came to the mornings gray calm,
They come when the solemn stars shine,
They shout meath the fair Southern palm,
They chant meath the dark Northern pine.
"Give us Man for chief,
Give us the starry old Flag;
No Knight of the Handkerchief,
No silken and scented rag
Scorched in the battles fierce fame,
Torn blythe wild ocean gale,
Blown by the trumpet of Fame
That is the banner we hail".
The stars Of that banner shine bright
From the masthead and hilltop and spire
Our camp-ires blaze through the night,
The mountains are flaming with fire,
Like the storm-burst the cry Of that host,
Like thunder that far distant roar;
The sound from the mOuntain-top tossed
Rolls down the surf-beaten Shore
"Giye us Man for chief,
A man the occasion to suit;
No knight of the Handkerchief,
No soldier by substitute;
No substitute for chief,
But a soldier to dare and to do,
No perfumed handkerchief,
No flag but the Red, White and Blue

BYNUM, the mouthy Democratic Con-
gresham from Indiana, undertook to
show that the Hon. Levi P. Morton had
voted to lay the eight-hour law on the
table. Cannon, of Illinois, got at the
Hoosier with the Congressional journal
and finally made him confess that he had
not examined it to ascertain how Nor
ton had voted, thereby virtually ac-
knOwledging that he had deliberately
lied about Mr.. Morton before the House.
He had, too, for the journal shows that
Morton voted just the opposite from
which Bynum stated. Bynum is the
same chap who was convicted of lying
about Gen. Harrison before the House.
He seems to be an uncouth, awkward
and gawky liar, very similar to the
liar of the st. Clairsyille Gazette.

From the London Sunday Times, July Is, 1858.
The eectioneerng campaign in America
ought TO be most interesting to the English
people for historical, political. and philosoph-
ical reasons. The main question at
issue IS English Free Trade against the Cont
mental system Of Protection. The Republic IS
on trial. Good. conservative government, un-
der Cleveland, is opposed by the rule and ruin
party of Blaine, whose friends nominated Har
rison. Thus the American people
are directly involved in the contest through
their pockets, which will be affected by the
tariff, and their future, which would be seri-
ousIy influenced by the restoration TO power
Of such fire brand as Blaine, with his home
rule sympathies and anti Canadian policy. The
American election is infinitely more important
to Engshmen than their own internal politics
Just at this juncture, and they should observe
every phase of the campaign closely and un-
derstandlngIy. It is from this point of view
that the coPious dispatches to the Sunday
Times are cabled. The result of the Ameri-
can election will he p to decide many import
ant issues in Great Britain.

FARMERS AND MANUFACTURERS
New York Mail and Express.
In view of some of the misstatements
of the free traders, it is well to call the
attention of the workingmen to the real
relation between agriculture and manu-
featuring. We are told that the farmers
have not been benefited by protection
and that the home market which has
been promised to them has not been be-
slowed upon them. Let us see. We
must admit that in New England the
amount of improved land is decreasing.
Why is that? Largely because the de-
mand for land for manufacturing and
commercial purposes has increased
Then, again, the lands that were former
ly used for raising crops are now used
for grazing lands. Breadstuffs come
from the West, but meat and milk must
be had nearer home, and as manufactures
have grown they have been accompanied
by readjustment of agriculture. But,
after all, what has been the effect of en-
couraging manufactures in the agricul-
tufal States? In 1880 Illinois had the
largest number of farms of any State,
and the aggregate value of their pro-
ducts was the largest. 1t was fourth in
the number of its manufacturing estab-
lishments and the value of their products.
New York was third in the number of
its farms and second in the value of
their products. 1t was first in manufac-
turing. Pennsylvania was second in
manufacturing and fourth in the value
of the products OF its farms. Ohio was
second in the number of its farms, third
in the value of their products, third in
the number of manufacturing establish
lishments and fifth in the value of their
products. Michigan is eighth in the
value of the products of its farms, and
ninth in the value of the products of its
manufactures, while Indiana is sixth in
one and tenth in the other With the
exception of a few Southern States,
which are almost purely agricultural,
and of the New England States, which
are mainly manufacturing, the balance
between agriculture and manufacturing
is well maintained. In a word, manu-
featuring establishments have grown
near the fields which feed the operators,
and agriculture has advanced with the
building up of manufactures. This
makes the home market argument per-
feet, and demonstrates that the origina-
tors of the protective system were right
in insisting that the tariff would ad-
vance the general prosperity.
