their purchases are made in the restricted | fourth day he opened bis door to get some
home market. If they want woolen cloth wood, but was brought up to close range
they send their wheat to Liverpool and 11 ....
sell it for, sav one dollar per bushel; tiiere
the cloth they need could be bought at
twenty-five cents a yard—one bushel of
wheat paying for four yards. But a tariff
of seventy-five per cent, prevents
them from doing that; so they bring
the dollar back, and from a Massachusetts
man they buy with it two yards of the
same cloth. The farmer lias lost two yards
of cloth and the public wealth is that
much less. The manufacturer lias made
that much, not by fair and voluntary ex
change, but by an unjust and unconstitu
tional law. Not all the sophistry of all
the talent which ill-gotten wealth can
hire to pervert human reason can make
anything else out of such a transaction.
Tlie farmer cannot at will shut down his
operations and discharge bis laborers—his
iroductions are perishable and will, not
teep over indefinitely; therefore he is ob
liged to sell his surplus at any price lie
can get, or lose it altogether. Therefore it
is that year after year seven-eighths of the
exports of this country are agricultural
; iroducts. The farmer supports the raanu-
acturers, maintains our foreign trade and
exchanges, and does his full share in bear
ing the public expenditure beside; and all
this lie does witli the most necessary condi
tions of political economy reversed in
their application to him—being forced to
sell in the cheapest market and buy in the
dearest.
Small as our foreign trade is, there
would lie universal distress and financial
ruin without it. It furnishes the exchange
which pays for whatever we are obliged to
buy abroad, and keeps our precious metals
ut home, and maintains the credit ot' our
country. It could be made double its pres
ent voiume in a brief time, if we would
only legislate a little in the interest of the
whole Country and not in that of a class.
We have twice tlie population of Great
Britain, ten times the material resources
and thirty times the territory, yet she has
double the foreign trade that we have.
Ours has been protected to death, dt has
been fitted witli a Chinese shoe, and can
only grow by distortion.
In the same way our merchant marine
has perished. We undertook to protect it;
we not only imposed heavy duties on tlie
materials of which ships are built, but we
excluded foreign ships from nil internal
and coastwise trade, and tried to exclude
it from tlie open sea also by refusing reg
istration and tlie American flag to auy
ship in whole or in part made abroad,
though owned entirely by American citi
zens. lint there we fulled. We could bind
the land and make factory men richbtcx-
cludiug competition; we could control our
inland waters and our coasts and enrich
our domestic vessel owners; but the great,
free seas refused to be bound. They re
fused to obey any laws except sucli as God
lias imposed upon the intercourse of na
tions. As our people could not
build and operate ships
cheap as other nations owing
high tariffs, ami as they could _ not
buy them from others without forfeiting
their rights as American citizens, our once
magnificent merchant marine lay down
quietly to die. It was not even permitted
to die'in peace. Its last hours are dis
turbed by tlie clamor of tlie quacks who
brought it low. In their anxiety to divert
attention from their malpractice, they
loudiv accuse their adversaries of the au-
timisliip of the calamity. They say that
but for them the government would have
given the shipowners two dollars from the
treasury for every one they lost through
tariff and navigation laws, ami they “had
not died!” Two doctors attend a sick man’s
bedside; oue bids the other stand back and
assumes entire control of the case. “1 will
bleed him and give him calomel,” he says.
“It will kill him if you do,” says the other.
“1 know what I am doing,” savs the one in
control; “I will treat him on tlie home sys
tem. I want nothing to do with the theories
of yourKuropeandoctors.” So hcldeedsand
purges, while the natient gradually sinks,
and as his gasping breath changes into
the death rattle the self confident doctor
turns with indignation to tiie other, whosj
advice he had scorned, and upraids -him:
“You wretched murderer! When you
saw this man sinking why didn’t you give
him brandy to sustain him under my
treatment? If you had done your duty
be would not have died from loss of blood!’’
Well, I-suppose that is true. If the gov
eminent hail made good their losses and
supported tliem from the treasury, no
donut they would he alive now and flour
ishing. And what of the jieople who pav
these taxes for private purposes? Oh! It
doesn’t matter nbout them,! _ If nianufac-
tnrers are supported by taxation, -indirect
and sneaking, why not support the ship
owner openly and boldly by bounties? If
the first is right, there is, indeed, no rea
son for refusing the latter.

One of the very earliest truisms of polit-
. , economy which the study of tho
science established was that the main
Tvirce of the wealth of nations is commerce
f ore ign peoples. It is not necessary
here to repeat the familiar arguments of
\dani Smith, John Stuart Mill and other
rent authors; no fact in science is better
established than this, that nations get rich
lii,- pushing to the utmost the production
of the things in the making of which they
eJC0 | t and exchanging them for- those pro
ducts in the making of which other coun
ties excel. It is simply the principle of
,l, e division of labor by which a village
community thrives carried into operation
in the largest business of the world. In
fact, all tlie great laws of the science have
their source in tlie humble dealings of the
hamlet. The laws which are evolved there
in the petty transactions between man and
man are the same in principle as those
„hicl, control all other business, great or
small, ill which tlie same human nature is
111 bearing this in mind, let us look further
into the pretensions of protectionists that
our tariff taxation is the cause of national
wealth, and that it must lie kept up if «ur
wealth is to increase. It must always be
remembered that money is not wealth, but
onlv the medium by which wealth is ex
changed Beat wealth consists in tlie pos
session of objects of utility or pleasure,
Now it is desirable that as far as it is pos
sible to do so with profit, a country should
supply its own wants. Hence most good
writers on political economy admit it is to
tiie advantage of countries in their infancy
to encourage domestic manufactures by ex
traordinary means. Tlie first necessity of
such a country, struggling to establish it-
,-cif among the nations, is to secure a boriu
supply ot the tilings necessary to its exist
cnee, of which it might be deprived by
war in case it were dependent on foreign
ers. lint that period soon passes, and
then conies tlie question of a surplus of
products., So long as our country is pro
ducing only its own supplies, of course its
wealth is increasing day by day; and if we
unde all that we required and could make
to more, we could attain no national
wealth by dealing with each other only—
that is to* say, we could attain to a!! the
wealtli possible in such a stale of tilings.
Bti: human industry cannot stop without
decay and ruin. After it lias supplied onr
own country, one of two tilings must take
place: either a foreign market must be
found for our surplus products or we must
cease to make any. If we make more
than we want and can’t sell it, this lessens
the value of what we have, and our aggre
gate wealth is not increased a particle; if
we stop production at tho poiid of
home supply,then all the labor and capital
of the country Iteyond that limit is unem
ployed, and again our wealth ceases to
grow. Common sense points out that we
must have a market for our surplus and
high tariffs tend unmistakably to prevent
this. They are intended to prevent it, for
as all foreign commerce is simply exchange,
nations will not btly from us unless they
cun ;>ay us with their products. With a
tariff wall around our country they cannot
trade with us.
The wickedness of this policy is only
equaled bj its folly. There is no country
upon earth prepared to become so rich by
foreign trade as these United States, be
cause there is none so abundantly supplied
vith all the materia! and all the condi-
tions of production—absolutely none,
There is not labor enough in our sixty mil-
liona of people to dig up all of our coal
and iron ore in a thousand years; our for-
e>ts, though rapidly decreasing by lavish
waste and the tarifl premium we offer for
their destruction, are still most nbundant,
"* have a practical monopoly of cotton, I
staple which clothes two-thirds of man-
sual, whilst in nil food products our
va-t and fertile plains arc tlie granary as
well as the wonder of the world. In addi
tion to ail these advantages, which are tho
gut of nature, our population, under the
stimulus of free institutions, lias developed
more industrial energy and more inven-
tue genius than any other people upon
earth. Their labor-saving inventions form
an epix-li in the history of our race, and
nave multiplied the productions of human
labor beyond the dreams of the poet. Tlie
jtistics show, and candid men everywhere
“'““it, that the best trained labor to be
t-' n" i n Christendom cannot equal our
sm led workmen, measured by the amount
"a quality of their work. And yet, in
‘* a, e of all this, and whilst the sound of
*i"? °t i 1 >s still heard, we declare
n the next breath that we are Junable to
omiiete with our inferiors, shut our their

It was rumored this moraine that tli
Riflemen would invite Col.Cba*. M. Wiley,
of Macon, to take command of the
campmeaL Should this lie done and
by a low growl. Booking up he saw fotu
be a rs within twenty feet of his
cabin. They were grerft big fellows,
and Mr. * Schiles made up bis mind
to have one. He jgot bis rifle, but the
bears seemed to divine his motives and got
out of the range. Tlie intense cold pre
vented him from following, and after lay
ing in enough wood to last two or three
days, and filling his water barrel, he went
back into tlie bouse and remained there
until the cold weather had passed.
That night the weather was so cold that
Mr. Schiles was afraid to go to sleep, and
kept a roaring fire iu the stove all night.
The night was made hideous, lie says, by
coyotes and bears. Tlie animals pressed
close against the bouse and lie could bear
tliem fighting for places particularly near
the two windows from which the light
emanated. Once or twice one of the ani
mals, probably a bear, would dash against
the bouse as if to break it in, and the deer
were beard uttering plaintive erics during
the night. At 3 o’clock Mr. SeliileB drew bis
spirit thermometer in from tlie roof by
way of the chimney hole and found the
thermometer still at 58 below, the same
that it had been twelve hours before. He
thinks that it was a great deal crflder, and
that tlie chemicals hud been frozen. The
night was a terribly long one, and at 8
o’clock in tlie morning, when Mr. Schiles
awoke from a short nap, tiie animals had
moved away and tlie weather moderated
considerably, the mercury siiowing only 18
points below zero.
On opening the door of his house, which
he did cautiously, lie saw two bears,
deer and a coyote lying on the ground
The deer and coyoie lin’d been kiiieu dur
ing the night by the bears, but the two
bears had no murks and bud evidently
frozen to death, as their bodies were rigid.

“A man is a born ba lielor, but women
arc intend d to be wives.”
It was a wife from whom came this con
vincing aphorism. The profanity of the
remark plunged every one into silence.
Thus encouraged, she went on:
“Now, I’ll prove it to you. A man will
leave ills wife darning a sock by the fire
and with a merry heart go off with a lot of
men to eat, smoke, drink and play billiards
and come home at nobody knows what
hour. Sec? If a woman tried to imitate
him on her own ground in half an hour she
would be engulfed in remorse and swim
home in her own tears.”
"Bravo! I feel as if I was on a yacht
duck in u gale,’’ exclaimed the party yf tin
other part. “Now, look here. A man mar
ries. He stays home five evenings in
week nnd a woman thinks nothing of it
But on the sixth evening, wiien he proposes
to go off' with some men, all at once she
feels dreadfully neglected. Of course,
don't mean my wife, who is the most gen
erous-minded of women.”
This he repeated twice, to make sure
that it was heard by that person drumming
on tiie window pane.
“is it reasonable to ask yon to expect
that a man will give up men whom he has
known and loved for twenty years for a
woman lie lias known only two years, or
perhaps only six months. ' Nor can n man
take his wife on such expeditions,
wouldn't be the same thing at nil.”
“And besides,” lie continued, warmed by
his own eloquence, “no man can afford to
give tip tlm companionship of men from
business point of vjew. 1 ve no money to
squander, you well know. Yet, in the last
two weeks I’ve spent $50 iu eating and
drinking with men. Now, I regard that
$50 as an investment which I expect will
yet bring me $500. But yon cau't get a
woman to take that imitft of view. She
sees only its agreeable aspect, which she
doesn’t share.”
He glanced cautiously around and then
proceeded.
“I sa^r to my man: ‘We might as well
talk this over a good dinner nnd get some
fun out of it any way.’ It isn’t a bribe.
It only gives me a better chance to unfold
my plans and to know my man. Then
after dinner we smoke, play pool or go to
the theatre. The man or men know I’m
not goin£ to press tlie thing or force them
to commit themselves. The matter is dis-
cussed, then dropped, and we proceed as
it had been our only object to amuse our
selves. You can see for yourself that this
sociability and conviviality among men
alone, which is what w- men object to, ii
really a part of an agreeable part of com
merclal life.”
“Don’t you think so ingenious a state
ment might do good if more widely circu
lated?” asked the third person, a silent
listener. v

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronio weaknesses and distressing ailments
peculiar to females, at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast
experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for tho cure of woman’s peculiar maladies.
I)r. Piereo’s Favor

I outgrowth, or result,
of this great and valu-
1 able experience.
Thor sands of testimonials, received
from patients and from physicians
who have tested it in tiie more ag
gravated and obstinate cases which
had battled their skill, prove It to be
the most wonderful remedy ever de
vised for the relief and cure of suf
fering women. It is not recom
mended as a “cure-all,” but as a
most perfect Specific for woman’s
peculiar diseases.

generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre

being unequalcd as an appetizing

promotes digestion and assimilation
of tood, cures nausea, weakness of

eructations of gas.
As a soothing and

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE.
Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia,
another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or
prostration, another with pain hero or there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and
their easy-going and indifferent or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which lie pre
scribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they aro all only symptoms
caused by some womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of tho cause of suffering, encourages his
practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason,
of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, liko Dn. Piebce’b
Favorite Prescription, directed to tic cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dis
pelling all those distressing syjnptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.
Mr^B. F. Mono AN. of Ko.MLextngton St, Mrs. En. M. Campbell, of Oakland, OalU
fomta, writes; "I had been troubled aU
