IIKITlhi: vs. AMKKICAX LABOR.
A'few weeks ago we exposed some of the
incrin-istencies of free-traders in an art!
de of Mr. J. B. liodg.-kin in tbe North
American Review. Tbe same gentle man
ha a since been reading a free trade t- ay
before the Free Trade League et Brooklyn,
in wbich he has liccu more candid than be
fore. Mr. Hodgskin is an Englishman,
and understand* the interested* Briti-b capi
talists. He give* tbe true reason, however,
why we need protection iti the following
word* :
"Let me tell you what Protection is. I ctt
but illustrate it by examp'o. In Pennsylva
nia, iron ore, limestone and coal; tbe three
principal element* of the iron manufacture,
are found *o near together, in such large
quantities, and ot such superior quality, that
any one would think that iron could be manu
factured there cheaper and better than any
where e!*e in the world ; yet when the Penn
sylvania iroo maker has made hi- iron nod
offer* it for *alc, he find* that a New ork
iron merchant can bring similar iron ail the
way from England, and can pay freight on it
and commtwten*, and make a profit on it,
and then pay the freight on it all the way
from New York to the very door of the Penn
r.ylvania foundry, and sell it cheaper than the
I'ennsylvaoiao can. What is the cause .'
There are several, but the principal one is
this, in order to make iron, it take* a little
iron ore, a little limestone, a little coal, and
a prodigious amount oflabor. The three first
ingredients are as cheap in Pennsylvania as
anywhere; but the last and principal one.
Labor, is so much dearer in Pennsylvania anil
u the whole of the Foiled State* than in'
England, that, in spite of the cheapness of
the other ingredient*, the iron cost* so much
more to make than the English iron, that the
English can pay all the expanses of bringing
their iron over hero, and yet sell it cheaper
than wc can ours."
Mr. If. did not design in thin portion of)
his ossay to advocate protection, but it i
one of the strongest argument* to the labor
iug man, that we have yet ,-eeri in favor of i
protoction. Here is an Englishman who i
well acquainted with the manufacture of
iron in England, who, though an enemy lo
protection, is constrained in honesty to ac
knowledge that it is alone because of the
starvation wage* paid to hriti-h laborers
that they are enabled to undersell American
manufacturers. This is the true secret of
the necessity for protection to American
labor. In ail the coarser manufacturers we
need no protection because of the small
amount of labor entering into thc-ir produc
tion. In the manufacture of iron and
many other commodities labor is the chief
it* in anil in all these, without protection we
are undersold by foreign manufacturers, Ire- j
cause laborers in England and Europe get
wages barely suflii ii rit to keep soul utni
body together. We have no alternative bnt
to protect our laborers or abandon those
manufactures into which labor em era as a
large dement in the cost of pt< durtiun.
American laborers will not work for the
pauper wage* of Ibitish operatives, nor do
any hut purse proud aristocrat* such as the
late slave lords and their allies the copper
heads desire thus to degrade them. If then
we abandon manufacture* that require a
large amount of labor, we b •-<-ri the demand
for labor and the thousands of laborers thus
0! .barged fr..n our manufn uircs turn their
•Mention to fanning. What would be the
i ult ol -uib i • our <■ ' Grain is already
v-ij low, by -'opping our manufactures the
home market for agricultural produce is d< -
.. 1, 'i 1 furt'. t rcdu .ng prices, and at
the same time the supply of sueh produce
is increased until the farmer finds no mar
ket for his produce? What does the far
mer think of such a condition of affairs?
Free-trade at present would soon so reduce
the prices of all agricultural produce that
the farmer would scarcely be able to clothe
his family. Grain would Im a • frog in the
market and nothing hut a famine in Europe
could deliver our people from financial ruin,
yet such is the condition of things which
the present copperhead party aims at when
it advocates free trade. It has been the
experience of three generations that the ex
periment of free trade whenever tried has
resulted in financial disaster. Shall we now
rush blindly upon the rock on which we
have BO often foundered before? J,et la
isirtug men lot fame r consider. Abund
ance of work and good wag •* fur the labor
• t and high prices for farm produce have
always accompanied protection. Hard
times and financial disaster have as c iDstnnt
1> attended (ree trade. Which do you want
now '! Piotcction will secure you the former.
I'ree trade will inevitably bring you the lat
ter. M | üblicanLm propose* to give you
prtiU t iioo, plenty of work and good wages,
k'opperhcadistu promises yon nothing but
idlem- .-a, poverty and rags.
I 8E Democratic Legislature of Ohio Dur

THE EIGHT OK INSTBUCTION.
It would be weQ fur the nominating coo
veotiooß of both parties before they act up
candidate* for the Legislature this year, u>
ascertain fully the feeling and the want* of
the people and then instruct such candidate*
accordingly. One of the dangerous lea
turcs of our politics is the proclivity of men
in power to igaore the popular will. In
Legislative circles custom has fixed tbe rub
to give a man two terms in the House.
This is a rule observed by both parties, m
that it matter* not bow good or bad a legis
lator may lie, he only gets hi* two terms,
| nothing more or ksa. In this way we art
i forced to endure a bad man for a certain
I time, and give up a good one at the end of
j a fixed p -riod. Far better would it be for
I the people to reject a bad man when he ie
! discovered to be such, and retain tbe serv-
I iocs of a good one a* long as he can be in
duced to serve. Tbe first step toward
! such a con-uinmarion is for the people to be
i more tenacious about instructing their *er
• vant* what to do. Every constituency
| knows whether or not they arc willing to be
i taxed lor the necessaries of life—they all
know whether it Is safe to enlarge the fran
chises of corporations, and whether million
j of dollars of the public funds should be used
i toeatry on private bank*. These are topics
of genera! bearing, to which may lie added
an incalculable number of measures of a
private nature which come before each Leg
islature for action. Instruction as to the
disposal of *l' fUr 'h business b one of the
i solemn duties of each constituency, and the
j longer the fulfillment of this duty is neglect
ed ;hc greater becomes tbe danger which
surrounds (be Government. No Republic
can exist which allows its repn -relative#
the absolute power now wielded by legisla
tor-. Annually, as we have long seen, leg
islative bdies increase their power, usurp
ingat disciction the functions of the Exec
utive and the Judicial branches of the gov
ernment, and defying with haughty arro
gance the will of the people whenever a
scheme of personal aggrandizement is prc
-ented for enactment. The only way to
abolish this evil is to instruct the legislator:
; o make him fee! he is the servant of tbe
j people, elect-d, not to barter in their tights
' and interests, hut to labor -ingly and trulv
for their prosperity and happiness. And
whenever a man refuses to pledge himself to
I obey I is instructors, it is the duty of any
party having power to defeat him at the
poll-. If, after he is elected, a legislator is
faithless, the people should never again
elect such a man. In this way only can the
public wt Ifare be insured. The party which
seeks to hide the shortcomings of its repre
sentatives dare not hope to retain the confi
deuce of honest men. and the I'-pub'san
organ which shrinkt from protecting the
life of its party by exposing those who dis
regard it.- honor, is unfit to speak in itn be
half. It b for tbe people everywhere and
: of all parties to instruct their representa
tives. The master rou*t guide and direct
the servant. If be does not, confusion arid
disaster will surely attend hi* enterprises.—

THE FREE TKAUEKK.
The people of Pennsylvania are nearly all
devoted to the doctrine of protection to
American industry. They know that in
every case in which this protection had been
withdrawn, it has been under Democratic
ascendency in the White House and in Con
gresf. They know that the old railying,cry
of the Democracy, "Polk, Dallas and the
Tariff of 42," was a deception; for w hen
Polk and Dallas were elected, the Tariff of
'42 was repealed, and the destructive tariff
of IH4C was adopted, Dallas himself giving
tin- casting vote in its favor as Vice-
Pre-ident. The Free Traders arc now re
newing their war upon Protection with great
vigor, and they are boldly carrying the war
into Pennsylvania, with a candor that is
certainly more creditable than was the
trickery of 1H44. A Free Trade meeting
was held in Philadelphia last we?k, at which
an orator from another State appeared,
whose speech lias been very fully reported in
the Demociatic local organ. This report is
now going the rounds of the papers of the
same patty in the interior of the State, and
it i* quite evident that the printing is paid
for by the funds of the Free Trade League.
This league haa its headquarters in New
i Vork, the rich importers being the chief
members. These are mostly representatives
of Ibitish, French and German manufactu
rers, who contribute largely to the funds
of the League, because by breaking down
protection in this country, they will he
enabled to flood this country with their
goods made by the cheap labor of Europe,
and to destroy all American manufactures.
The people of Pennsylvania must be on
their guard, and not but deceived by the
specioua fallacies of the Free Traders, which,
if they once prevail, will bring wide-spread
distress throughout the Htat<*. The safe
course to pursue is to cling to the ltepub
fiean party, which comprises all the earnest
and efficient friends of protection in the
State. I'hihidelfihin Buttrtin.
I'IHI.AIiKM'IUANM are in despair over the
measuring worm nuisance. The latest ad
vices represent the worms on the increase.
The English sparrows, imported for the ex
press purpose of destroying the worms,
have turned out a complete failure. They
have left the city preferring country life
and choice cherries and strawberries rather
than the brick walls of the city and the
nasty worms. We admire the good taste of
the sparrows hot heartily sympathize with
our Philadelphia friends in their disappoint
ment. . *
A NEW era in scientific education has been
inaugurated by the management of Lafay
ette College. The scientific classes of thai
institution will make a tour of the Slate

ing internal. When nature is made the
das- niotn, American youth must needs ac
quire the highest order of education. Per

it is practical, and practicability is the result
of the system introduced by Lafayette.

FRO.H CUBA..
From Firr to Eight Thotooini American
Ttoopt in thr CnJxtn Army.
New York, June 4. According to a
-tatf-ment of Spanish -pie- in this city, the
friend* of the Cuban revolutionist* have sent
out thirteen expeditions from the ( oiled
State* in aid of the Cubans, which have
been -afely landed. The largest number ol
men on any one of these expeditions was
450. the Muaiie-t 30.
The materials of war chipped in these ves
-cl-included six bat terries of artillery aud an
itnmen-e -apply of Spencer rifle-: ami the
whole number of men which tbev carried is
estimated at 5,000. This fil l brigade of
veterans —the gift of the American peopleto
Cuba—is to-day part of th-army of Crapede*.
sod we may ooun expoet to hear from them
in a desperate if not decisive battle with (he
Spaniards.
The above facte, which come from a Span
i-h source, are corroborated by one of the
Cuban patriot-, wboestimates however, tbc
•ece-sion to Cc-pedes' army from the United
States at eight thou-and men. Seven of
he expeditions sailed from Xew York, three
from Baltimore and three from Florida.
It i* -aid that ail the volunteers who left
New York lor Cuba are in the cavalry arm
of the service. The u-c- of sabres has been
discontinued, the Spencer rifle being deemed
more effective.
Another expedition i- in foot, and the
veterans, of which it will lie mainly com
pos'-d, will consist of ex officer- and men ot
tbe United States army.
HAVANA, May 28.—The only account
which the government organ has yet given
in regard to the landing of expeditions from
abroad, is contained in an official dispatch,
dated Santiago de Cuba. 18th iu-t. Tbe
landing is said to bave taken place on th<-
14th io-t, on the Bay of Nepo, on the north
side, to the east of the District of Holquin,
of sc-ven hundred men, euppo*ed to have
been brought by the steamer Perrit. which
i- report*d to have arrived at Kingston,
Jamaica, on the 1 'h, after touching on the
coast of Cuba. The i fficial organ's account
-tates that ninety soldier- and thirty volun
teer* went in search of the seven hundred
men, attacked thcin, kille 1 sixty, wounded
one hundred an! sixty, took seven cannon
and three flags, one of whieh was iti-'.-nbed
as having b- en present; din New York, on
April 27. Th.:.e heroic Spaniards are re- j
presented as having had only four killed
and .sixteen wounded, and their ammunition i
b- ing exhausted, they retired in good order, 1
after spiking the guns, without being mo- |
If-ted, and reinforcement- were expected to
attack the re-r o' the invaders. There is no '

PROGRESS.— One of the most hopeful
signs of the times is the earnest efforts beingi
made by the Christian Cburehcti to re-unite
again atid form an harmonious organization
compact and perfect. So lar as the uniot
of the iliffercnt bodies of the Methodis
Church is concerned, we can see no goof
reason why the consolidation should not It
consummated. The i-suc on which thf
dissolved is no longer in existence, and #
know of uo movement which, if heart*'
concurred in. would tend more largely to I
ducca growth of friendly feeling betweeftne
people of the two sections than the region
of the Methodist Church South. Aide
their organization there can he norcaicu
suiis for a continued severance of heir
Christian relations, und nil outside }' it
should not he considered. The cau-e tilis
solution between the different bodiT of
Presbyterians is graver, however, amle-s
likely to lie overcome. It is a mat# of

markable piper printed in the transactions
of a scientific -fx-i-ty, its title being "Re

Having for four years past labored to improve
and enlarge tne I.NQI XMKR and to >• till it with

oif of the chief difficult!** in oar way ha* been
tlat of getting a sufficient number of subscribers
t pay the expenses Lfx-esanrily incurred in inak
r iig a county paper what it ought to be. Though
tie IN yi ti< EH has a larger number of subscribers
II ban any other pap r in the eous'y. ii *tiil h
f>ur. little more than half what it ought to have to
i* justify in the outlay nee- ary to keep it up
*lo the i.indard at which we have ateadily aimed.
Ihe Isgi'fßEit will continue to be the exponent
' and advocate of a thorough going Republicanism,
and of retrenchment, economy und reform in the
administration of the affair* of county, state and

, amount of late news and carefully selected gencr

Congressional District.
An important political campaign is just about
to begin, involving be election of a Governor,
Supreme Judge, t*tutc tv-nator, Member of tlie
begislaturc, and a ful' county ticket. The State
aud Ihstrict tickets are of the highest importance
a* there will he a new apportionment made at the
next Session of the Legislature. With such an
important campaign before us, it is highly desira
ble to put the iNgtTiRKU in the hands of every
Keptibhcan in the county. We thetefore call up
on our friends to help us put it at once into the
hands of as uutny of our people as possible. As
a further inducement to exertion we have conclu
ded to offer the following desirable

Klf S S A II SAPARILL A,
FOR PFRIFYIXG THE BLOOD.
I The reputation thi*? excellent medicine enjoy*,
: is derived from its cures, many of which are truly
1 marvelous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease,
| where the system seemed saturated with corrup
j rion, have Keen purified and cured by it. Serofu-
J lous affections and disorders, which were aggra
; rated by the scefalous contamination until they
were painfully afilidinjj, have been radically cur
ed in such great numbers io almost every section
of the country, that the pubiic scarcely need tube
informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison i one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and uu
felt tenant of the organism undermines the con
stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its
presenile. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develops into one or "-tber of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among
the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be sud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors
formed iu the liver, or it shows its presence by
eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some
part of the body. Hence the occasional u.-e of a
bottle of this SartmparriUa is advisable, even
when no active symptoms of disease appear.
Persons afflicted with the following complaints
generally find immediate relief, and, at length,
cure, by the u. e ft this SA USA PA HULA) St.
Anthony' Fir?, Hose or Eryj-ipelas, Tetter, Sell
Khcutn, Scald Head, KiDgworm, Sore Eyes, Sore
Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of
Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed
forms, as Dyapi psia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits,
Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous af
fecli'-na of the muscuUr and nervous systems.
Those painful diseases. Rheumatism and Gout,
when caused by accumulations of extraneous mat
ters in the blood, \ leld quickly to it, ax tfeu Liv*-r
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inftamation
of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they
often do, from the ranking poisons iu the blood.
This Sarsaparilla is a great restorer for the
strength and vigor of the system. Those who
aie Languid and Listless, Despondent. Sleepless,
and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or
Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of
Weakness, will find immediate relief and convin
cing evidence of its restorative power upou trial.
