Citizens of Manchester, England, Want
America TO Keep Up the Tariff on Cotton.
PiHbUrg Dispatch.
THE statement that Eogland wants free
trade and the assertion, frequently made,
that English influences are largely brought
to bear in this country to make America n
land of free trade, may be true; but, can
assure you, there are q number Of people
whr think the other way, and who realize
that the moment this country has ceased
to be a protective country their industry is
doomed .
The foregoing words were spoken last
evening by Mr.. .. J. Rounds, OF Manehes-
ter, Eugland, who is nov staying at the
MonoDgahela House. By way of empha-
sizing his statement, Mr. Rounds con-
tinued:
1 come from Manchester, and OF course,
rs everybody knows, that is one Of the
largest manufacturing places for wooden
and cotton goods in the world. When the
news came over there a few weeks ago Of
tee strong a2ltatiOn which was going on at
Washington in favor of establishing free
trade, the Manchester merchants read the
news with alarm. The reason is simply
this: We know perfectly well that A . ri
can cotton goods are not only better nan
English, but they can also be produced q
great deal cheaper than they can in Man.
chester. Now then, so soon As free trade
would be dominant in this country the
Manchester goods will be knocked out Of
the market.
"Hays the English cotton merchants a
great sale for their goods hert?'
''No; and it ID not because they are
afraid Of losing their American customers
that they wish protection TO be maintained
in this country. Their largest expectations
20 to China, India aud Japan, and they
have had until o little or no eompsti-
ton. The ~cheapneSs and superiority Of
American cotton goods, however, would
not only make this country q formidable
competitor, but would eventually cause
America to become tine great cotton manu-
featuring center Of the world"

Nasal Voices. Catsrrh and False Teeth"
A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill,
nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twit'
ting they get aboat this sasal twang, and
vet it is 4 fact caused by Il dry stimulat-
ing atmosphere, and the universal pres
ence Of c9tarhsl difficulties.
But Why should so many Of our women
have false teeth?
This is more of a poser to the English
It is qaite impossible to account for 1t ex-
eept on the theory of derangsd stomach
action caused by i~mprudence ia eating aud
by want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural. =,
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, Wnlcn
are promoted By mal.nutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition
is a modern one,o one unknown to our an
cestors who prevented the cataTrh, cold,

regular use OF what is now known as

guarantees OF purity and efficacy by the
world-Camed makers Of Warmers safe

"a the spring and summer seasons advance
give q positive assurance Of freedom, both
from Catarrh and those dreadful and il
neglected, Inevitable consequences, pueu'

which so generally and fatally prevail
among our people.

THE IMMIGRATION AND CEYEL-
OPMENT SOCIETY.

The rapidity with which the counties OF
the State are organizing auxiliary lmmi-
grafton snd development societies, shows
that the spirit of the great business con
vention Is not dying out. 1t has selzsd
upoa the people, and is growing stronger
every day.
This is rs it should be. The association
can 10 little unless it is supported by or
CARNATIONS in every county Of the State.
There is great deal for each Of these
county associations to DO in compiling
information aud setting forth the al
yantages OF their particular section. West
V~irgiuians want to inaugurate q solid,
substantial boom, that will cause a rapia
development OF her great natural resources.
One great step has already been taken.
Many more must be taken before the boom
is we'll begun. Of the work that remains
the county organizations must bear
the biggest share. No county can afford
to let this golden opportunity
slip by. Many have already responded
nobly. Let the rest go to work, and the
next meeting OF vice presidents at Charles
town fad the people Of every section ready
to lend their aid to their cause.
With the whole State at their back or
gained and in line, the Board will be able
to take intelligent and decisive action II
mapping out the work Of the Association
What has been done heretofore has been
necessarily OF a preliminary and desultory
character. The meeting at Cbarlestown
ought 10 bring order Oat Of chaos and set
the movement well on foot. Steps should
be taken 10 fOrm a permanent society, and
the duties of the officers and tho exact field
of labor Tor elch should be clearly defined
The press of the State is heartily Ell
listed iu tie cause. 1t should be seer
that all proper news, tending to the ad-
vaneement of the movement be given to all
for publication fairly and im~Parhally.
Lastly the board should be careful that no
personal or party ambition be allowed to
mar q movement 50 auspieiOusly begun.
The society IS the society OF the whole
State, and the people will hardly endure
that an organization with such beneiieient
objects DO prOstituted to the s~ggrandizs'
ment Of any man or party.

Hon. ID. G. Lee for Governor.

Many gentlemen of prominence and po-
litieal standing in the State have been
named as possible candidates for Governor.
As 8 Democrat OF long standing, / would
venture to suggest the name Of Hon D. G.
Lee, Of Harrison county, the present Mayor
of the city Of Ciarksburg, and the son of
the distinguished lawyer ard Judge, George
II. Lee, deceased, and a near relative of
the present Governor, Fitzhugh Lee, and
the noted Lees of East Virginia Hon. d.
C. Lee is a gentleman of elegant habits,
and appearance, a fine well-bred lawyer,
and If nominated no doubt can harmonic
all sections of the State and party on the
tariff, and other questions, and be elected
by 10 600 msiOrity, and no doubt would
DO ali in his power for the good and devel
opment Of the State. As | look at it, the
Democrats will havea hard task before
them, if they carry the State.

An extract from the Pittsburg Dispatch,
published this morning, shows how the
English manufacturers Of cotton goods
look on the proposed tariff reduction. \
prominent Manchester manufacturer says
IL would ruin the cotton manufacturers oil
that city, and American fabrics would
drive English gods from the markets q
the world. This hardly accO'ds with the
howl of Republican organs that it is the
English manufacturer who will be bene-
fitted by q reduction of u tariff duties
but, then, these organs would howl wheth-
er they had any cause tor ii or not.

are now elahorately ftilngup as iresh-meat
house. Here they expect 10 sell fresh beef,
mutton, pork, &c, butchered in Chicago and
brought to this city IN refrigerator-cars.
From the time the meat is killed until 1t is sold
here 1t will he continuously kept at tempe
rature Of $50, and |, will be between five ard
SIX days en- route from Chicago 10 Richmond.
This meat-house will do no retail busi-
ness; II will sell to the trade only, and Tor
that purpose will be open each morning a.
early as 4 o'clock.
lt Is SAID that wherever Armour opens one
OF these houses he has to make fight for
trade against heavy opposition, but that II Is
the boast OF the firm that they have never
been driven from or abandoned any location
they have made. and they have houses from
Maine to Florida.
II is not denied that this meat when first
taken from the ice Is very good, but 1t ia said
10 be a weLknown fact that, exposed 10 the
temperature OF the atmosphere, 1t will not
keep sound nearly as long as meat butchered
where consumed.
At any rate II is new feature in Rich
