mines and manufactoring establishments
are begining to realize the importance of a
protective tariff.
xtel... The report of the proceedings of

Philadelphia, on the evening of the 15th
inst., which it would give us great pleasure
to publish had we the space. The people
should be well informed on the subject

Convention, and Col. Jordon is doing his
part towards giving them timely informa

raj' The Coal and Iron Record, a week
ly journal devoted to the Coal and Iron
Trades, has just been commenced by
Messrs. Western & Company, N 0.37, Park
Row, New York. Price $3 per volume,
edited by B. R. Western, Esq. This firm
has had great experience in publishing
journals of this type, and consequently
they cannot fail to make the Record one
of the best of its class. It starts with a
capital number. We welcome their pro
ject, as we believe it fills a very important
niche, and recommend it to all our coal
operators.
tek„ An agreement has, at last, been
reached in regard to the selection of a
Committee in the McClure-Gray case. The
plan proposed is to place the names of all
the Senators in a box and draw from the
same thirteen, and then let each of the
parties strike six from the number so
drawn, and the Senator remaining will con
-stitute the seventh member of the commit
tee. This is accepted as fair, and at least
opens the way to investigation and a con
test from which the Republican party
never shrinks, and in which it always bears
itself honorably and just,
AMERICAN v:. EUROPEAN PRO
TECTION.
There is a system of protection for the
manufacturers practiced in European Na
tions that is wholly ignored in the United
States. It is the protection secured by
half-paid labor. In many articles manu
factured labor constitutes one-half, and in
some cases three-fourths of the entire cost.
Take for example the article of pig iron.
The ore costs comparatively nothing ; by
labor it is drawn from the mine, passed
through the furnace, and prepared for the
market. The coal and limestone used in
its preparation are also the products of
labor. So that in making up the cost of
a ton of pig or bar iron, labor is found to
constitute the principal and by far the
largest item. The same is true of many
other manufactured articles; but this
single illustration is sufficient for our pur
pose. Now to find the relative cost of iron
in England and in the United States, it is
only necessary to ascertain the cost of labor
in each country. The prices paid in 1871
were as follows :
EDITOR
United
England States
Paddlers, per t 6;, $2 05 S 4 00
Helpers, per ton 7B 2 00
Heaters, per day 1 90 4 37
" Helpers, per day 97 207
Rollers, per day 3 00 5 10
Day Laborers, per day 7R 1 75
Carpenters.
Masons
These figures give a correct general
average of wages in England and in the
United States. England then can produce
iron at half the expense for wages that it
costs to manufacture a similar article in
the United States. This is the protection
afforded to her manufacturers. But it is a
direct robbery of the mechanic and laborer.
Free Traders tell the credulous that
"American protection makes the rich rich
er and the poor poorer." It is not so. The
contrary is the fact : Protection is the poor
man's wealth. It secures for him it full
reward for his labor. On the other hand
Free Trade, or EuroFean cheap labor pro
tection robs the industrious mechanic and
the laborer, for the direct and special pur
pose of enriching the manufacturer. In
America protection is impartial : It bene
fits and blesses all alike. In Europe it is
partial, and for the benefit of the manu
facturer alone. In the United States the
artisan and the workman can generally live
well upon one-half or two-thirds of the
amount of their earnings. In Europe the
weekly receipts are barely sufficient to sus
tain life. The London correspondent of
the New York Tone.; has given the mode
of life among the workmen in England a
thorough examination. He gives a most
deplorable picture of the poor of the large
cities of that country. Millions of people,
he says, live almost entirely upon bread.
Here, for example, is the way of life of a
sober, bard working Englishman, who earns
18 shillings a week, (say $4 50 gold stand
ard), and has a wife and six children. He
neither drinks nor smokes, and hands over
his whole wages to his wife. This is a
common practice in well ordered families.
She pays 4 shillings a week for rent; 1
shilling for coals ; 9 pence for candles, soap,
etc.; a penny a week each fur the six chil
dren to a burial club ; 1 shilling on the
doctor's bill, due. Here are 7 shillings and
3 pence of the 18 shillings gone, and noth
ing to eat. Now the bill of fare for those
eight persons : One pound of bread a day
for each—the children scarcely taste any
thing else—comes to 7 shillings a week ;
20 pounds of potatoes, 8 pence; 1 pound
of butcher's meat on Sunday, and 2 pounds
of salt pork for week days, 2 shillings; 1
pound of sugar, half pound of butter, one
ounce tea, 13 pence, make up the week's
account. No no fruit, no clothing.
The only way they can have these is for
the children to get work—or die; then
something comes in from the burial club.
Thousands and thousands of men work
hard for two-thirds of these wages or less.
No church or Sabbath School; and no use
for books or newspapers, for they cannot
read.
Contrastt his deplorable condition of the
workman and his family with the condition
and prospects of the mechanic in America.
Here his table is always abundantly sup
plied; his wife instead of being in the
coal pit, foundry or factory, is at home
presiding over her household affairs. His
boys are not forced out to labor, but are at
school; they grow up educated men, and
become intelligent and thrifty mechanics,
engineers, architects, editors and profes
sors. His daughters rank with the best
educated and most industrious and refined
women in the land. The mechanic him
self, if industrious, prudent and economical,
invariably advances until he becomes the
owner or joint owner of the foundry or
manufactory, and finally closes a useful life
in easy circumstances.
Here we have the relative condition of
the workmen in England and in the Uni
ted States. The contrast is great, and it
is the result mainly of the difference in the
modes of protection practiced in the two
countries. Protection in America is for
the people ; in England it is for the man
ufacturer, and the rights and interests of
the workmen are sacrificed to the interest
of their employers.
The system practiced in England pre
vails all over Europe. It is even more
grinding in its effects upon the continent
than in Great Britain. France, to under
sell England, Belgium, to compete - with
France, and Germany to beat them all in
the European markets, each resorted to the
grinding and degrading system of half
paid labor, and the result is that all Europe
is to-dayfilled with able bodied paupers,
half and quarter paid mechanics,• whose
only prospect is to labor on jn beggary
while the muscle and sinew hold out, and
then go to the poor house to die. This
picture is not over drawn. It is a sad study.

THAT ''CASE.
The Senate of the United States, a few
days ago, passed a resolution asking the
President for a copy of the late correspon
dence in reference to the "Alabama claims."
The President in c'anplying, ordered a
copy of the "case" of the United States to
be sent to the Senate. It is entitled :
"The case of the United States to be laid before
the Tribunal of Arbitration to be convened at Ge
neva, under the provisions of the Treaty '.etween
the United States of America and Her Majesty the
Queen of Great Britain, concluded at Washington,
May 8, 1871."
The case is divided into six parts, which
together form a volume of 501 pages, in
bold, clear type, on fine, stout paper. This
volume is accompanied by seven large vol
umes of correspondence, names of vessels
destroyed, bills of values, B:,c.
The claims, as presented in the case, are
classified as follows :
1. The claims for direct losses, growing out of
the destruction of vessels and their cargoes by the
insurgent cruisers.
2. The national expenditures in the pursuit of
those cruisers.
3. The loss in the transfer of the American com
mercial marine to the British ling.
4. The enhanced payments of insurance.
_ .
5. The prolongation of the war and the addition
of a large sum to the cost of the war and the sup
pression of the rebellion.
The claims for the direct losses growing
out of the destruction of the vessels and
their cargoes are further sub-divided into:
1. Claims for destruction of vessels and property
of the Government of the United States.
1 40 3 00
200 323
2. Claims for the destruction of vessels nod pro
perty under the flag of the United States.
3. Claims for damages or injuries to persons
growing out of the destruction of each class of
vessels.
Under each of these divisions the res
pective claims are clearly and forcibly pre
sented, and evidence is presented which
will enable the Tribunal to ascertain and
determine the amount of the losses and
injuries sustained through England's neg
lect of duty, and anxiety to aid the South
and break up the Union.
Then there is a claim for interest at '7
per cent., the average rate in New York
city. The computation of interest to be
made from an average day to be 3ntermin
ed, and July 1, 1863, is suggested as a
fair average period on which to fix the
commencement of interest; the interest to
be continued to the day of payment.
England continues to be seriously agi
tated over an examination of this ugly
American case. But she cannot escape.
Her own Commissioners in the Joint High
Commission provided for the "case" and
the mode of settlement. Cobden and Bright
and others in Parliament, warned the Gov
ernment of the consequences of the policy
it was pursuing toward the United States;
but they were not heeded. The day of
reckoning has come, and the words of
those statesmen are now'realized in their
full force. The decision of the Arbitra
tion may not give the United States a dol
lar damages but the facts have been laid
before the world, and the verdict of the
nations will be against England in her
anxiety to break up the American Repub
lic.
FORCING McCLURE INTO THE
SENATE.
What does it mean ? Since the moment
Hon. A. K. McClure consented to become
a Candidate for Senator, in the 4th district,
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death
of Hon. George Connell, there has been a
boldness and a persistency, on the part of
Philadelphians, to force this man into the
Senate, unequalled in the politics of Penn
sylvania. Why this is so no one presumes
to state. Is it simply because the citizens
of Philadelphia are so extremely anxious
for Re'form ? We do not believe a word of
it. If they desired Reform so badly they
could have found fifty good men—honest
and true—in the fourth district to have
represented them without taking up a man
whose name has been a by-word and a
reproach, for years, at Harrisburg. No,
no ! It is not Reform they want. Then
what is it ?
We were told during the canvass that
he was backed by two powerful corpora
tions ! 4h, indeed ! Why backed by these
corporations ? "That is the question !"
Here is the milk in the coconut, we sus
pect. But what do the corporations
want with McClure in the Senate ? Re
form. eh ? Bosh ! Is the Nine Million Bill
to be put through? That does not strike
us as being of so much consequence to the
aforementioned corporations ? What then
is it? There is nothing before the Legisla
ture of any great consequence save the Bill
authorizing the mode of selecting delegates
to the Constitutional Convention. Aye !
if we are not mistaken, here is the rub !
McClure is to act up the Constitutional
Convention so that it can be controlled by
the corporations ! The corporations know
full well that the people desire to restrict
them after the manner of the Illinois Con
stitution, and the pins are to be set so that
they will be foiled in their object. We
cannot see anything else in this persisten
cy. Is there any other way of accounting
for the concerted action of the corpora
tions ? We caution the people, and espe
cially that portion belonging to the Re
publican party, to be on their guard against
the wiles of the monopolies of the State.
If we are not mistaken this is just what the
forcing of McClure into the Senate means.
Let it then be a contest between the peo
ple and the corporations. We are ready
for it and we have no doubt of the result.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 19, 1872.
PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS
A very creditable amount of the ordina
ry business of the session has been acted
upon during the past week. In the Sen:
ate a new amnesty bill has been introduced,
and laid upon the table. Charles Sumner
has given notice that the Civil Rights bill
is "indissolubly associated with it," and
the two must go together. He said some
Senators were exceedingly anxious to re
move the.disabilities of the rebels, but they
had not a word to say for the colored race.
"It was asked," he continued, "why did
he not bring in his civil rights bill as a
separate measure ? What guarantee had
he, he would answer, that the bill, as a
separate measure, would go throu ls h at the
Capitol ? Hon did he know but it would
be consigned to some tomb from which no
undertaker could resuscitate it?" He then
read letters from John G. Whittier and ,
William Lloyd Garrison, setting forth that
amnesty and civil rights should go togeth
er—and there the matter rests for the
presen t.
The pa,ssa:;e of the Education 41 by
the House, appropriating the proceeds of
the sales of Public Lands for educational
purposes meets with very general favor,
especially among republicans in both
branches of Congress. If it becomes a law,
and its provisions should be faithfully car
ried out, it will be productive of great good
in bringing up the standard of popular ed
ucation throughout the country, but espe
cially in the South.
A number of measures are before the
House in reference to a revival of Ameri
can Commerce. But neither upon this nor
upon the tariff question has any definite
action been taken.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS ABBITRATION
The excitement in England over our
"case" has materially subsided. There are
no new developments upon the subject.
'Our counsel before the arbitration, Messrs.
Caleb Cushing, J. Bancroft Davis, and l
Wm. M. Everts, are in consultation, in
Paris, upon the question. Our represen
tative, Charles Francis Adams, at the Ge
neva Court of Arbitration, is about to
return to America, for a few weeks, to at
tend, it is said, to important private busi
ness. The n Et meeting of the Arbitra
tion is arranged for the lith of April ; but
it is prooable that another adjournment
will then take place until June, when work
will be commenced looking to a final set
tlement of the question. Our "Case"
forms a volume of 501 pages, and the ap
pendix, now in course of preparation, will
be comprised in seven large volumes of
correspondence.
COL. FORNEY'S RESIGNATION.
On the 10th Col. John W. Forney wrote
a note to the President, tendering his resig
nation as Collector of the Port Philadel
phia. He gave as his motive a desire to
devote his entire attention to his newspa
per business. On the 12th the President,
in a friendly note, accepted the resignation,.'
with regret, assuring the Colonel that his
appointment to the place "gave general,
almost universal satisfaction when it was
made, and since that time your services
have been appreciated and approved quite
as generally." There is a very general
impression abroad here that the Colonel
was prompted to this step fur other reasons,
than those given. But what they •are' iw
not positively known. Both the , Colonel a .
and his friends assert that he is in favor of
Grant's renomination, but even on that
point strong doubts are expressed.
THE TAX ON TOBACCO.
The Ways and Means Committee have
decided, after considerable discussion, to
fix the tax on plug tobacco at 16 cents, and
on smoking tobacco at 24 cents.
TUE DUTY ON TEA AND COFFEE.
The Committee of Ways and Means
have asked the House to reconsider the
vote by which tea and coffee were placed
on the free list. It is understood there
will be a fierce contest over the duty on
these articles.
SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON
The return of the season of Lent, has
materially reduced the number of recep
tions, masquerades and balls now occurring
in the city.
FREE LUMBER
The bill admitting foreign lumber duty
free, to Chicago, is unpopular, and will
probably be reconsidered in the Senate.
N. 11. F.
Notes from the State Capital
HARRISBURG Feb. 19, 1872
A bill has been introduced in the House
making vaccination a pre-requisite to ad
mission into common schools.. It is pro
posed to extend its provisions to apply also
to admission to-the Legislature.
Each member or thO'House and Senate
has been provided with a copy of Purdon's
Digest and Zeigler's Manual. Our first
assistant, who has been reading some of
the bills introduced by various members,
proposes that each member and Senator be
furnished with a copy of Brown's Gram
mar, Quackenboss' Composition and Web
ster's Speller. But our first assistant in
clines to be ironical ; and his remarks are
not, therefore, worthy of serious consider,x-,
tion.
At the present time there is, at Harris
bum, a larger supply of majors, colonels
and generals than we remember to have
seen at any one place since the Spanish
succession. In fact we only remember to
have seen, in this city, two men who did
not lay claim to one or all of the ranks
mentioned; and these two modest men
were—captains.
A delegation of teachers and pupils,
from the Philadelphia Institution for the
Blind, is in town. Tonight they gave a
musical entertainment in the Hall of the
House of Representatives which was very
good. To show their facility in writing
they wrote two sentences which showed
them to be so far behind the times as al
most to destroy the good opinion already
formed of their school. The first sentence
—"Words are not Deeds"—will be news to
the member from Columbia. The second
—"We respect the Lawgivers"—might
have been a suitable copy-head in the times
of Lycurgus or Solon; but as a proverb, it
is now classed among ancient popular de-,
lusions. However, some excuse is to be
made for the pupils of the school in ques-
tion, as not having the use of their eyes,
they can scarcely be expected to be fully
up with the times.
The Daily Battle-axe has at last dis
covered the cause of the epidemic prevail
ing here so extensively. It does not origi
nate from impure water. The water is as
pure as daylight. The prevalence of the
disease is owing entirely to the impurity of
the atmosphere; and the atmosphere is
rendered thus noxious by the gathering, in
Harrisburg, of so many Philadelphia car
pet-baggers, who have come to assist Mc-
Clure in his contest for Gray's seat in the
Senate.
The past week has been one of fighting,
in the Senate, with regard to the manner
of choosing a committee on the McClure-
Gray contested seat. The Republicans are,
and have been, in favor of permitting Mc-
Clure to contest, but they desire to have a
committee who will decide justly, and not
in a partisan manner, as a committee in
which the Democrats are in a majority
would doubtless do. As a substitute for
the old method of drawing such commit
tee, Senator Billingfelt, of Lancaster, of
fered a proposition which, for exquisite
ridiculousness, would be hard to excel out
side of Lancaster county; and the contest
for a week back has hinged upon the
question whether this proposition should
be accepted. On Friday the opposition
gave in and Mr. B.'s amendment was car
ried in the Senate. What bone of conten
tion will next be unearthed, the Senator
from - only knows.

The Educational Bill
The following is a synopsis of the Educa
tion bill as it passed the House. Section first
provides that the net proceeds of sales of
public lands shall be fbrever set apart fur
the education of the people, nothing in
the act to limit the power of Congressover
the public lauds, or interfere with grant
ing bounty lands, nor with the homestead
act. Section second provides that the Sec
retary of the Interior shall certify to the
Secretary of the Treasury, each year, the
net cash proceeds of sales of public lands.
Section third provides the manner in which
the funds shall be invested. Section fourth
provides for the apportionment of the fund
to the various States and Territories for
the first ten years, the distribution to be
made according to the ratio of illiteracy in
the representativepopulatioa. Section fifth
provides when and under what circum
stances the first distribution shall beinade.
Section sixth provides that a certain por
tion of the fund received shall be expend
ed at the discretion of the Legislature for
the instruction of teachers for Common
Schools. Section seventh states the con
ditions under which each State and Ter
ritory shall be entitled to receive its share
of every apportionment after the first year.
Section eighth provides that the Commis
sioners of Education shall decide what
States and Territories are entitled to re
ceive apportionment, and what amount, but
no moneys belonging to any State or Ter
ritory under this act shall be withheld for
the reason that the laws thereof provide
for separate instruction of white and black
children, or refuse to organize a system of
mixed schools. Section ninth provides for
the distribution of the funds by the Su
perintendent of public instruction in each
State, Territory and District ; the amount
to be apportioned shall be applied solely
to the payment of teachers' wages. Section
tenth provides the manner in which appor
tionment shall be drawn from the United
States Treasury. Section eleventh pro
vides penalties for and misapplication or
embezzelment of funds. Section twelve
provides that the Circuit Court of the Uni
ted States shall have exclusive jurisdiction
of all offenses against the provisions of this
act. Section thirteen provides that noth
ing contained in this act shall be so con
strued as to affect in any manner existing
laws and regulations in regard to the
ad
justment an payment to States upon their
admission into the Union of five per cent
um of the net preceeds of sales of public
lands within their respective limits.

WARNING
31A Y CYTIZENS of this county who, had been
persuaded to buy other kinds of Sewing Machines,
which seemed at hirst to work well on a tolerable
range of work, have expressed to me their regret.
that the genuine original Elias Howe Sewing Ma
chine—the best in the world—had not been brought
to their notice before purchasing. And judging
from the number of offers I have, to trade Howe
machines for all other kinds, I estimate that the
people of this county have lust more than $20,000
by failing to get, at the first, the genuine More
I Machine. It is made on sound mechanical prin
ciples, avoids rickety cog-wheels ' and is so con
structed as to have perfect content by adjustment.
and provision made to restore lost motion when it
wears, thereby securing extraordinary durability,
and adaptation to the greatest range of work. Now
as my traveling agents may not be able to visit
every person in time, and as many inferior ma
chines at different kinds are still being urged on
the public, I hereby GIVE NOTICE, that before
you spend your time or money on any other ma
chine, the safest plan is, either to write to me di
rect, or inquire of agents for the famous Elia.
Bowe, machine, fromErown'sCarpet Store, Hun
tingdon, Pa.. and take no agents word for it, that
the machine is genuine, unless it has the medal
lion at the head of this article, imbedded in the
bed plate of every machine.
