Trrn only issue with which we can safe
ly and confidently fight the battle of the
next campaign against the democricy, is
the tariff question. Let us all unite, and
give deliberate, as well as honest expres
sion to our sentiments on this momentous
subject.
Tire democracy can not be trusted in
the pending contest -between protection
and free trade. Their professed love
and interest in the former will be chang
ed to an open declaration for the latter
a. 5 soon as the selfish ends of a few are
attained. All their leading papers .are
committed to free trade.
FREE Trade Republican papers are
quoting from the - Tribune that "Free
Trade is the end of Protection.". This
we do not doubt; but with us the:question
is, are our manufactures protected and
fostered to such an extent, as to permit
even a moderate protection. Are our man
ufacturers ready to meet the competition
which England would force upon this
country.
Tz prosperity of . our country depends
on our ability to make use of her untold
resources of coal and iron deposits. Foster

The Effects of Protection.
The Miners' Journal expresses the opin
ion that the effect of Congressional action
on the tariff willbe to continue the pres
ent act in:force untilnext session,when'the
discussion widch has taken place will en
able Congress to adopt a bill in conson
ance with the wish - es of the people who,
in the meantime, will have given free ex
pression to their sentiments through the

As an instance of the rapid progress
which the country has made under the
protective system, the .Tourna/ states the
fact that in New England alone four
thousand one hundred factories were in
operation (or at least in existence) in 1869,
the aggreate production of which amount
ed to about six hundred and . fifteen mill
ions of dollars. •Other • sections of the
country; it says, have made commensurate
progress. • • •- • -
This fact - demolishes the doctrine of the
free-traders that proteCtion creates mono
poly and high prices. The multiplication
of manufacturies under-a protective tariff
creates competition. and competition in
variably brings down prices. This seems
too plain to require any argument to en
force conviction of the truth.
"All this"
. (says the Journal,. alluding
to the increase of factories) "is the , work
of that great'protective policy under which
we have been living for nine years past,
and the friends of which have been so
greatly, misrepresented by Revenue Com
missioner Wells and histree-trade follow
ers. So far from any monopoly being
possible in the domestic production, the
competition has become universally and
prodigious, and,this is one of the happiest
symptoms of the prevailing tendency. .As
a cot emporary happily says, there being
the same inducements held outto all alike
by the protective policy, any success in
any
_given line of investment as surely
leads to imitation as the discovery of a
new gold placer attracts a crowd of dig
gers. • Of all . the impostures,' therefore,
' ever attempted. by the free-traders, that of
holding up the domestic manufactures as
monopolists is the most unjust and out
rageous.'
There can be no question in the mind
of any thinker on this subject,. that it is
only by the domestic competition becom
ing general and vast, that we can hope
finally to crowd the European interests
out of our markets, and to supply the de
mand from the products of our own soil.
The history of the introduction of the
steel rail manufacture into this country
at a time when Great Britain had a mo
nopoly of the manufacture by the Besse
mer process, and the price was enormous,
proves the efficacy of competition. .As
soon as the manufacture became firmly
established the price receded one-half.
The principle will apply to all other man
factures. To get cheap goods we must
protect; build up, and competition will re
duce prices. This is the effect of Protec
tion."

in the rural districts as it does in the
larger cities, and be of great advantage to
all the respectable country papers. The
great cities, however; are gradually ab-'
sorbing the newspaper busmess in the

machinery have within a few years swept
away distance and brought the most re
mote districts into, as it were, a common

TIIE simon-pure and incorruptible de

TirE 'Republican convention of the
Third Congressional district of Maine on
Tuesday renominated the Hon. James G.
Blaine as a candidate for Representative
for the fifth time. This is a deserved
compliment to one of the most able and
distinguished of our national legislators.
Tim Bucks county Intclligencer favors
the cumulative system of voting, and says
that while the Democrats have a small
numerical majority in that county, and
are thus enabled to exercise all local au
thority and to control its entire represen
tation in the Legislature, it is well known
to all intelligent observers that by far the
greater part of the taxes are paid, and the
public burdens borne by the Republicans,
who are allowed no voice in their collec
tion or expenditure.
TILE rows and disorderly conduct at the
primary election in Philadelphia have
been made the subject of great democratic
display heads, and much rejoicing there
at. What empty capital! The democracy
forget that the Republicans are strong
and honest enough to expose corruption
in their midst, while they on the other
hand shroud their evil deeds in darkness,
or get Bill McMullen to do it for them.
Our democratic cotemporaries forget the
disgraceful scenes of the last nominating
convention—how Sam Fry the candidate
for Treasurer, was compelled to withdraw
and how a few of the "upper ten" fixed
up the ticket. Alas what blindness.
ST. Lours and Missouri had already be

pal corporation shall ever make or pay
from any public fund whatever anything
in aid of any church, creed, or sectarian
purpose, or help to support any college
seminary, or other institution of learning
controlled by any church or sect whatever.
The people of the State will vote on this
amendment at the coming election. There
is but little doubt of its adoption.—Ex.
THE Caors ABROAD—"The Mark
Lane Express," the great newspaper au
thority on the grain market in England,
states that the continued drought in that
country is strong evidence of the failure
of the wheat crop and a large increase of
prices. In March last, wheat was selling
for $9 78 the quarter, and at present brings
$lO 88. The merchants in England base
their calculations on a deficient crop in
1869 and on probable short supplies this
year from the Baltic. Grain is also being
sent to the continent, and medium qual

Under this significant caption, the
Wilkesbarre Record of the Times notes the
fact that Col. H. B. Wright, a professed
friend of protectivetariff is now announc
ing himself
,as an ad valorem tariff man.
This same individual says that it makes
some men rich, and asks what it has ever
done for the poor man?
The Times in reply says:
We - can tell him; it has given poor men
employment • at , such good wages that
thousands have come from the old coun

IN the tariff r amendment to the new
tax-bill, which passed the House last
Monday, the duty on iron is reduced to
seven dollars on pig, and six dollars for
scrap.. Mr. Wells proposed to reduce the
duty on pig to three dollars, and the Dem
ocrats backed him up, but they were de
feated in effecting this sweeping reduction
that would have_ closed every furnace in
the country. As it is, under the reduc
tion of only two dollars per ton, American
manufacturers of iron will find it hard
work to keep going at present wages.
They will be compensated, however, by an
increase in the duty on steel and steel
rails which the new bill provides for. The
result will-be that our iron- men , will go
largely into the manufacture of that arti
cle. Indeed, it is the opinion of many
persons that steel must eventually take
the place of iron where durability is need
ed, and the wonder is that it has not done
so before. Steel rails have already come
largely into use, and steel boiler plates,
and steel machinery of all sorts will - be
next in order. The fact that the new
Tariff bill gives ample protection to steel
will encourage its production and hasten
the time when it will come into general
use. It-is probable that ten or twenty
years hence iron will only be used for the
roughest work and that steel,—manufac
tured by new and cheap processes—will
be mainly produced in its stead throughout
the country.—Beadiny Journal.
Who Is Ackerman ?
The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Tribune, answers this question as
follows:
" Amos T. Ackerman, nominated as
Mr. Hoar's successor, is a native of New
Hampshire, a graduatCof Dartmouth Col
lege; and about'46 years of age. He re
moved to Georgia before he obtained his
majority, and studied law in the office of
McPherson Berrier, an ex-U. S. Senator,
and also - President Jackson's Attorney.
He has been one of the leading lawyers in
the Sonth, but has never held public office
until appointed by President Grant U. S.
Attorney for the District of Georgia, a posi
tion which he now holds. He was elected
at large on the Grant ticket. He was
formerly a Whig, but since the war has
been identified with the Union party in
the South. During the war, although a
Union"man, he was forced into the Con
federate army, and served on the staff of
Gen. Toombs, whom he defended in his
celebrated court-martial casein 1864. He
served in the Rebel army until the close
of the war. He is married, has three
children, and is in humble circumstances.
He had no intimation that he would be
appointed, and there is no positive infor
mation that he will accept. He was first
brought to the attention of the President
by some speeches which he delivered dur
ing the Presidential campaign. The an
nouncement of his nomination ' was re
ceived here with profound' astonishment
by Senators, members, and all 'classes: It
was said lie - WaieVen - niCiie obscure, if pos
lsible, than Meisrs. Boric, Robeson, or
BelknaP,"and the question was asked over
and over again, who is Ackerman? Res
idents of Georgia, temporarily in the city,
were the only ones able to solve the mys
tery. Much opposition to him is express
ed, and some even say that the Senate will
not confirm him, but this is mere conject
ure, founded on improper ideas as to other
possible changes in the Cabinet, of which
se much has been said lately."
NINE-TENTILS of what people cat,drink,

TIE Express attempts to show that the
system of tariff for protection is just as
unreasonable, as it wouldbe for one town
to exclude the Productions of its neigh
bor. The _Express entirely ignores the
difference between sending our money
across the waters to Great Britain and
keeping it in our own' county, or State, or
country, and getting it back in trade for
some other merchandize - which a neigh
boring locality does not produce. We
have a tariff to keep trade and money in
the country, and to protect the laboring
man; we need no internal protection, be
cause we are a common country, and
there is no competition between well fed,
happy laborers, and half starved paupers.

TIIE British press and manufacturers
are jubilant over every act in this country
that is calculated .to depress American
manufactures and so benefit those of that
kingdom. They exult, as we expected,
over the late defeat in Congress of meas
ures that would have gone
. far toward
grounding every important industry here
in an unassailable manner. And yet,such
is their enxiety to destroy all American
manufacturing competition, that, not con
tent with the material cheek our manu
factures have received, they , are now ur
gent to have the job completed. They
want a " liberal policy!" It is quite likely
that they would approve the free importa
tion of all British manufactures; but it is
almost certain that within a year they
would plead for some gratuity from the
government to reward this enterprise.

Whatever pleases the craven lords of
England is known to be disastrous to our
prospertiy. The course of the free-traders
in this country, and their pensioned con
federates, have thrown all England into a
phrensy of delight,and the boards of trade,
as well as the hilarious assemblages of
capitalists and monopolists unite in hearty
congratulation upon these signal vic
tories for British free-trade.
A New Party
From the western part of the State come
wild rumors of the organization of a new
party, the avowed object of which is to re
buke the disgraceful corruption which
every winter infests the Legislature at
Harrisburg. Whether this new party will
be formed or not, we do not know, but
we enter our protest against such a move
ment as improper, and altogether useless.
The remedy for these abusesis within
our own ranks, within the circle of our
own party. The principles of the party
are good enough and righteous enough to
endure the most searching expurgation,
and if the PEOPLE will properly apply
the strength and power as they do in
Lancaster county, the reform can be se
cured. Let the honest masses of the Re
publican party—the voters, not the politi
cains—unite in the effort to elect none
but honest men and the desired result will
be attained. Nearly every county has a
newpaper that - will advocate the side of
the people, the side of reform. Enlist
the sympathy and support of the farmers,
the business men, and let politicians alone.
Fight the battles manfully and with a
determination, and the cause is safe.
Rings, factions, cliques and combina
tions under whatever name possible, may
be victorious in the manipulation of offices
and their prostitution to base and dishon
est purposes, but their iniquities will
sooner or later result in theitz6lefeat. t, In
the recent Philadelphia nominating con
ventions, money was used by some of the
candidates to further their interests, and
as in the nominee for Register of Wills—
Wm. M. Bunn—a man foisted on the
party in opposition to the will of nine
tenths of the Republican voters. But
the leading party journals have indepen •
dence enough to protest the nomination,
and demand his immediate resignation to
give place to a better.
If our Republican friends in the west
will adopt a system of thorough expurga
tion within, and not out of, the party, we
may expect to hear of gratifying changes
in the complexion of the next legislature.
Lancaster county can then join hands in
the general advance of reform in the party.
There are only two things which will save
us from overwhelming defeat—the ques
tion of protection, and a general and wide
spread reform.

FA Rm. EMS LOOK To YOUR SPRING HOUSES.
—On last night, the spring -house of Mr.
Christian Kreider, residing near Wabank,
Lancaster twp.,
was entered and robbed of
five pounds of butter and a tin bucket.
Fortunately us Mr. Kreider supplies a
neighbor with butter, the greater part of
thearticle had been taken out and delivered,
otherwise all would have gone. A pointed
iron was found outside of the spring-house,
wherewith they pried the door open. On the
same night, no doubt by the saute thieves,
the spring -house of Mr. Christian Forreeht,
of the sante twp., and a neighbor of Mr.
Kreider's, was also entered and six pounds
of butter therefrom abstracted. Several
Farmers in the neighborlio. d of the gap,
iu this county, have lately had their spring
houses robbed.—That ofJoseph D. Pownall
was broken open and robbed a week or
two since at night, and a quantity of milk
drank and wasted, and a piece of fresh beef
taken. On the seine night his tenant's
spring -house was entered and several arti
cles stolen. Samuel Walker, who lives
near Mr. Pownall, had his broken open
about the sane time, and some twenty
pounds of butter spirited away. No clue
has been found to the perpetrators of the
villainy. Farmers should keep a sharp
look-out for these scoundrels. A few buck
•hot, or a minnie ball might put a stop to
their nefarious deeds.—lneelligencer.

The Living Machine.
Injure the main spring of a watch and every
portion of the works becomes disorderec, The
human stomach is to the human system what
that elastic piece of metal is to a chronometer. It
influences the action of the other organs, and
controls, to a certain extent, the whole living
machine. The comparison may be carried fur
ther: for as the weakness or other imperfections
of the main spring is indicated on the face of the
time-piece, so also is the weakness or other dis
orders of the stomach betrayed by the face of the
invalid. Tile complexion is sallow or faded, the
.cyes are deficient in lustre and intelligence, and
there is a worn, anxious expression in the whole
countenance which tells as plainly as written
words could do that the great 'nourishing organ
wliosa office It is to minister to the wants of the
body, and to sustain and renew nil its parts, is
not preforming its duty. It requires renovating
and regulating, and to accomplish this end,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly said
to be the one thing needful. The broken main spring
of a watch may be replaced by a new one, but
the Stomach can only be repaired and strength
ened, and this is one of the objects of the famous
vegetable restorative which for eighteen years
has been waging u successful contest with dys
pepsia in all climates. As a specific for indiges
tion lt stands alone, when the resources of the
pharmacopoeia have been exhausted, without,
at best, doing more than mitigating the com
plaint, a course of this wholesome and pala
table, yet powerful, stomachic effects a perfect
and permanent cure, In all oases of dyspepsia
the liver is more or less disordered, and upon
this Important gland, as welt u 5 upon the SLUM,
ache and bowels, the Bitters act singular dis
tinctness, regulating and reinvigorating every
secretive and assimilating orgah on which
bodily and mental health depend.
