The Wool and Cotton Reporter, the
editor of which is a northern republi-
can protectionist, but withal has COM
mon sense and the moral courage 10
manifest it, says; ''It is a mistake TO
attribute the paralysis which fell upon
us in June, and from which the wool
and wooden interests are still suffering,
TO an anticipated change in the tariff at
that time No reasonable and well-in-
formed man ever entertained the ldea
that fear of a change in the tariff pro-
duced the paralysis referred to, Tor no
such man, in view of the actions OF the
democratic leaders since the war, ever
supposed there would be any such
change, or that there was any reason
70 believe there would be, and there
fore never conceived the idea that such
q fear existed. Modern democratic
leaders, like their predecessors, know
that the change should be made, but,
unlike them, they have not the courage
to support their convictions.

For the first time in many years the water
of Delaware Bay is now nearly as fresh as
that Of mountain stream, and vessels bound
on long voyages are supplying their tanks
with fresh water taken on at the Capes. This
remarkable state of affairs is due TO strong
northwest wind which has been blowing al
most steadily for more than a week, and
which has not only driven the fresh water
farther down than it has been for long time,
but has also driven 30 much of it out Of the

returned to Ironton in 1857, and got
