Tariff :Mass Meeting,
Pursuant to the adjournment, of a pre
liminary tariff meeting held in tho Town
Hall, Monday evening, Juno flOth, several
hundred persons assembled at the Odd
Fellows Hall on Saturday evening last Juno
2,3 th. The meeting was organized by calling
Col. James Meyers to the chair, and Messrs.
A. Bruner, Col. Samuel Shoch, John Pearl,
and Sam'! Musselman were elected vice
presidents, and J. M. Graybill, Geo. H.
Richards and Geo. T. robes, secretaries.
Mr. Meyers on taking the chair, said ho
had came there with the expectation of see
ing not quite so select an audisnce,ont with
every nook and corner filled with the bronz
ed laces of the laboring inen—they who
were interested, above all others in this
momentous question. Thiry were not pres
ent, and he regretted it. One of the great
e.l questions to be presented to the Ameri
can mind and second only to tho perpetua
tion of the Uovermnent, was Protection to
American Industry ! If he succeeded in ac
complishing anythifg by his remarks, he
hoped that, one Ming would he to impress
upon the minds of his hearers the impor
tance—vital importance of this momentous
questiOn. The American man ulactu re r,
with his usually vast wealth, needed no
protection ; it was the laboring man who
needed it, and be should be most interested
in securing it. Ile held that the very spirit
of our government conteinfilated a different
compensation tbr labor front that of the old
country. There, a inan born to the pick
and shovel, was consigned to a life of drod
gel y. Haile, how different. The laborer of
to-day might be the manufacturer of to
muorsw, and the lat2or.pr's son Might be [lto
future President of the United States. Ho
favored high wages, and we had come here
to-night for the purpose of securing and
perpetuating till, much dosirod end. A
high Tariff was the only thing that would
accomplish it. it is to be ex peeted that. the
great p.dttieal parties inado up under our
get ernincn., will freely express and pro
mulgate their pecuhar senaments upon
' questions of gloat public interest. lint

IT" dkelainted eloquently against the
IVa re Ilon-ii, se,totn, in this country,
which with the aid of corraot. lcgtslat ion
tended to injure:ill the Atnerh , in interests.
On merlon Co'. Kauffman was requested
to odd r‘", ,, 4 the meeting., who then rose anti
said that he wa, pained at not seeing the
room packed with these who ought. more
than July other-a, to have felt interested in
being here; he referred to the laborine;
class. If the laboring, man desired to work
for Belgium «•age., he needed no protec
tion. But did he desire such compensation?
That was the question. Bring down Amer
ican wages to a :square bask with those
paid in Europe, and no country in the
xvorld can produce iron as cheaply as we.
EngEsh manufacturers had every advan
taguf of accunutl:it•:d capital and intinense
,krid the second that of cheap labor.
Ile had heard of one establishment that
em Moyed '25.000 to en. The English laborer
~.n was hemming alive to his interests.
It had I, , en the rule that when Englkit
inanalarturer-; desired to cut down the
wages of their emph Tees, the natives of
lieliiiour would step in and accept tamest
any conditions. :Now the workingmen
there were meeting in mass and fermi, c;
associations. but they did not call the
movement "Protection to Industry," but
"Resuscitation to Industry." Would the
free-born citizens of America be less earn
e.d and diligent? hoped, for their own
good, they would not. It was only within
the recollections of a lift-tinie that the iron
manufactures of England had developed
into such lingo proportions. She used to
depend on Ireland for hen- iron; and had
our tariff been what it should have been,
She would still be ill her incipiency in this
respect. The ]depress wanted to know
what the _protectionists thought of the
Shroud: bill. For his part, be thought it
was wrong,: and he could only be recon
ciled with the hope that, if passed, Con
gress would not have the Cheek to alter or
amend it a year hence, and see where WO
would come to. ThoLxp•esshad also asked
whether it would be a blessing or a curse
if iron were as plenty and as easily obtained
as water. He would answer that when
laboring men could learn to live on air,
dress on air, and work for nothing, then it
would ho a blessing to have iron as plenty
and as easily obtained as water—and not
till then. The Almighty had placed iron
anti water in the earth under quite different
circumstances. Water was a necessity
without which we could not exist, and
hence it had been placed within the reach of
every ono ; whilst iron was a mere conveni
ence and required labor to develop it. The
Express had answered tho Inquirer upon
the "humanitarian" principle, that in the
event of a high Protective Tariff, English
laborers would be made to suffer by being
thrown out of employment, and then what
would become of them and their families?
Poor Englishmen! He would answer that
question : give us a good Tariff. and we
would give all the Englishmen employment
who might lose it at home, provided they
would only come here. Chan ty,he thought,
should begin at home. 'He had once heard
of a man who remarked that "poverty
should begin at h0...m." The man ',leant
to have said charity ,but he thought the case
adapted to this subject. If the Tariff were
done away with, poverty should and would
begin at home. Make way with this g: eat
saleguaid, and we must go back to first
principles—that of tilling the soil. The
men who are now employed in our iron es
tablishments at wages sufficiently high m
lay by a comfortable competence for old
age, will lose that employment, and per
haps be obliged as a last resort to emigrate
to the thr West—buy five or ten acres of
land or secure a small Government
grant, and till it for a bare subsist
ence; working on till the end of the natural
life, and then lay them down to die with the
unhappy reflection that they have been
driven to this isolated region, where
none of the advantages of education could
be enjoyed be their children. When the
'Vann' is low specie goes abroad—and im
poverishment stays at home. He would
say, in justice to the Express, that in the
past it had rendered invaluable service to
the Republican party; but now, for some
reason as yet unexplained to him, it had
turned tail upon the principles of that great
party and had identified itself with the
British Free Traders. It was an insult to
the intelligent voters of this county to ad
vocate such. doctrines, and that, too, in the
midst of a vast manufacturing district. He
had conversed with a great many reskients
of the county, and he had never yet discov
ered tiny considerable number who thought
the Tariff high e_magli. The halls of Con
gress were tilled with British Free Traders;
they were to be found in the lobby, in the
cloak room, the rotunda, and in the promi
nent hotels, They entertained sumptuous
ly with British wines and liquors, and they
Hooded the country with millions of money
to influence public journals and Congress
men—many of the latter, he regretted to
say, being neither too learned nor too free
:'roar corruption. He did not wish it to be
understood that he questioned the motive
of the ./tlcpress in assuming the position it
had taken but it did seem to him, u oon re
flection, that they had counted the cost,
struck a balance sheet, and concluded to
pitch in.
lie continued that if you stop our iron
works our laborerers must go back to first
principles, something similar to that of
those who were first placed in the Garden
of Eden. Theo will be no longer any de
mand for the products of our farmers, who
will thou be entirely dependent upon for
eign consumption, which history should is
very irregular and uncertain.
The entire production of iron in this coun
try in 1805 was 950,000 tons, and four years
later in 1869 it had increased to 1,950.000
!ons,and it protection would have continued
at nine dollars per ton with gold at 4012 our
twelve dollars and sixty cents per Lon or
production for IS7I would be 3,000.000 tons.
lle coacluded by saying that up to within
a few months the free' traders had been
working remorselessly and with apparent
success in their favor. but that now Dr.
Elder and others had taken the field and
%%ere lecturing throughout the West and
and were explaining to the farmers of that
region the advantages of protection, and
recent reports front them indicates the good
Liews that they were gaining ground rapid
ly, and free trade notions are becoming ob
solete.
After the conclusion of Col. Kauffman's

The Coimnbia Fire Company at
Reading.
On Thursday afternoon of last week about
thirty members of the Columbia Fire Com
pany, under Marshal Joseph F. Fisher,
took the 3 o'clock train for Reading, ar
riving without accident at the upper depot.
We will let the Reading Eagle of the 24th
ult.. tell the rest:
"They were received at the now depot by
a Committee of Junior Fire Company No.
2, of which company they became the
guests, and were escorted to Mishlers Hotel.
After tea they visited the Hall of the Ju
niors, 'Washington street, between Sixth
and Seventh, where an interesting cere
mony took place—the presentation of lire
men's torches by the Columbia Fire Compa
ny to the Junior Fire Company.
The torches are four in number, of solid
silver, and very beautifully chased and
engraved. On a shield on o,ne of the tor
ches is the inscription: "Presented to the
Junior Fire Company, No. 2, of Reading.
From Columbia Fire Company, No 1, of
Colombia." On the other three is the in
scription, "Junior, No. 2, of Reading."
The President of the Company,M.r. David
A. Stout, riot being present, J. Warren
Tryon. Esq., was called to the chair.
J. W.Yocum,Esq., editor of the Colum
bia SPY, then advanced and presented the
torches in the following words :
Mr. Tryon and gentlemen of the Junior
Fire Company, No. 2, of Reading:
We are with you this evening as the Rep
resentatives of the Columbia Fire Com
pany No. J. As your guests we are here
for a two-fold purpose—to convey the as
surances of the Company of their continued
friendship and esteem, and to present you
with a slight token of our appreciation of
your kindness and noble generosity. We
have met with you on former, and I may
say most pleasant occasions. Twice have
you given us exhibitions of your generous
and noble hearts, twice have we been the
recipients of your kindest gifts. 'When
I say that we will ever hold the Junior
Fire Company in grateful remembrance, I
but faintly express the warmest sentiments
of the Columbia boys.
There are ties other than these, nobler,
higher and far more lasting, which bind
us as one brotherhood. The common sac
rifices we may make to save life and prop
erty, the duties we voluntarily assume,
and the motives by which the brotherhood
of firemen are actuated, combine to unite
us in a stronger bond than the occasional
reciprocation of such simple gifts as these
we offer to-night. Our friendship is unsel
fish warm and undying. Our efforts to
save life and property are promted by the
noblest impulses of cur hearts.
With the Columbia boys, the name of
the Junior of Reading is a pleasant souve
nir. Your first visit to us was accom
panied by an exhibition of generosity
which we can never forget ; your second
placed us under obligations, from which
no kindness of ours can ever absolve us
As a slight token therefore of our appre
ciation of the obligations we owe to you.
and as an evidence that your generous acts
are not forgotten, I have, in the name of
the Columbia Fire Company, the distin
guished honor of presenting these torches.
Accept them as a grateful offering from
those who live," Not for ourselves alone,
but for all," to those, who "Alm to conquer
and to save." May the pleasant associa
tions thus cherished long exist. Rest as
!lured that the Juniors will always find a
hearty, whole-souled welcome from the
Columbia boys, whenever it shall be your
pleasure to visit us.
The presentation speech of Mr. Yocum was
loudly applauded, and three rousing cheers
given for the Columbia Fire Company.
J. Warren Tryon, Esq., received the tor
ches, on behalf of the Juniors, in a very
neat speech, iu which he spoke-of the fra
ternal regard which exists between the two
Companies, and referred to the trials, dan
gers and self-sacrifices of a fireman's life.
He was pleased to say that the fire depart
ment of Reading was never in a better con
dition than now, and was glad to learn
that there was a feeling throughout the
state to make the position of a fireman one
of honor and usefulness. He welcomed
with the greatest pleasure the members of
the Columbia, and everything would be
done to make their stay in Reading pleas
ant.
At the conclusion of Mr. Tryon's speech
the Columbia gave the Junior three rous
ing cheers.
The ceremony concluded, the members
of both nonparties repaired to the engine
room below, where a bountiful repast was
furnished by the Juniors, and a very
pleasant time was bad.
The members of the Columbia Fire Com
pany presented a fine appearance in their
linen caps, red shirts, white neck tie
with blue fringe, and black pantaloons
with black belt.'
While in Reading the boys were the re
cipients of the most flattering attentions—
the Juniors spared no pains to make our
stay pleasant.
Messrs. Evan Ss Levis Mishler. David A.
Stout and John Bach devoted themselves
particularly to the pleasure of their guests.
Through the courtesy of the latter we were
introduced to his honour, Mayor Gernard,
and shown through the new city Hall. At
Misbler's Hotel we were entertained in
princely style.
In the evening a squad attended the ded
ication of the new Mtennerchor Hall. The
music was furnished by the Mtennerchor,
Ringgold Cornet Band and Whi Ding Groh es
tra—altogether a grand musical treat.
We met our genial friends, Maj. Teed,
Harry Reber Esq.. Lew Wanner Esq.,
who spoke of the appearance of the Com
pany in the most flattering terms. We
are also indebted to Messrs. Sanderson of
the Times and Jones of the Eagle for cour
tesies extended.
The Columbia boys will long remember
their visit to Reading, as ono of the most
pleasant episodes iu the life of the fireman.

curring with the Essayist, that whenever
practical, the national organs should be res
tored to health, and usefulness to the pa
tient.
Dr. McCalla of the Harris, read an Essay
on the extraction of teeth, giving the His
tory of this part of "Dental Surgery" down
from the early period, until the present
time. The essayist exhibited instruments
employed in the earlier-days of dentistry,
and also the improved instruments of the
present day.
The subject of this essay was discussed at
some length ,in connection with the explana
tion and demonstration of the law of threes
upon the blackboard.
The Association met in the eve, at S o'clock
to hear Dr. S. Welchans, of Lancaster, on
the subject of "Association as a means of
improvement." The lecture was listened
to by a highly appreciative audience.
Atter the delivery of the address, the sub
ject ot treatment and capping exposed pulp
was, on motion, again taken up for discus
sion, which was well ventilated by the fol
lowing members. Drs. McDonald, Elliott,
Price, A. P. Herr, T. S. Sunith,and Neidich.
This important subject was discussed until
a late hour.
Third day:—The forenoon session was set
apart for a general Clinic. On motion the
Clinic was conducted in regular form so as
to give the members and visiting dentists a
chance to witness the operation as it pro
gressed, Prot. Barker of Penffa. Dental
College operating. Several cases of diseas
ed jaws were presented to the committee for
examination to gain the opinion of the
members, and diagnosed by a number of
the members present differing but little iu
their opinions as to the pathology and treat
ment.
These cases elicited marked attention on
the part of those present.

SALE OF REAL ESTATE.—The plantation
known as " Live Oak," about 2} miles
north of this city and formerly the property
of Gov. Branch, we are informed has been
sold to Dr. H. S. Case, of Columbia, Pa.
This is a very desirable property and one of
the finest residences in the State. Dr. Case
is a young man of culture and energy, and
though he has been among us but a few
months, has made many warm friends. No
doubt his acquaintances North will regret
to hear of his determination to become a
resident of Florida ; but what they regard
as their loss in this matter we trust will be
our gain. We welcome Dr. Case as a citizen
among us and wish him that success here
his genial qualities and enterprising dispo
sition entitle him to.— Weekly Floridian
Tullahasse, Florida.
A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.—Last week a
Silver Lamp was voted for at the fair of the
Vigilant Fire Company, of Columbia, Pa.
Parties on the Northern Central, Reading
and Columbia, and Pennsylvania Railroads
were candidates for the prize. Capt. IV. A.
Hambright, conductor of the Lancaster
train, on the Penn'a R. R., was the lucky
competitor, he receiving 533 votes. A. J.
Kauffman made the presentation, on behalf
of the donors, on last Monday evening, at
the Continental hotel. Speeches were made
by Messrs. Griffith, Clapp, and others. The
gift is a very beautiful and valuable one,
and of which the Captain may well be
proud. He has been connected with the
road for many years, and his polite and
gentlemanly bearing has won for him hosts
of friends and admirers.—Coatesvi!lc Union.
