The report* of tb* bureau <>t *iaiitic* iuil issued preitent an encouraging ■- gn to the protectionist*, though it i not clear to the general spectator of event* how benefit i- to be deprived front it. According to thi* report the voluute ol export* of flutter and cheese declined materially during the month* of .lanu ary and February. 1 hat i* to say that during the tir*t two month* of I**2 the j cheese exported amounted to ll,ot*U*Mi , pound*, while during the saute in .nth* of the present year the amount w.n le* than 5,000,001! pound*. The contpari ! son ill butter i* made for the te* month* j ending with the close of February and the falling oil' aggregates about 1 •".,tMat, 000 pound*. Now to the protection ntonopoii*t these figure.* must present an exceed ingly cheerful a-pect of trade. The difference between the export* of lat year and those of thi* are of course within the borders of our own glorious country spreading wealth and comfort broadcast everywhere, and the protec tioniat Mark Tapleys must fie oorres pondiogly jolly in contemplation of the tact. It may require a specious sort of reasoning to arrive at the conclusion, but the logic which the protectionist* employ in advocacy of their here-y i* easily applicable to thi*. For example, they say that by prohibiting the impor" tation of foreign goood* Americans have opportunity to get rich in trading among themselves. If tin* is true, why is not the parallel proposition equally clear. If exportation is avo.ded, the commodity remains as a uhject of barter among the home producer* and con*umers, and by a parity of reasoning both are put on the high road to wealth. The producers of hutter and cheese in thia country will probably Mil to aj preciate the force of thi* logic. The closing of foreign port* to their surplus cheese and butter circumscribe* their market, break* down price* ;,nd limits their opportunities to trade. Hut the same result follows the closing of Atner icatt market* to the foreign fabric*, except that tlie American consumer i> made to suffer instead of lite producer If in the course of future commercial relations between the new world and the old the exportation of grain and beef and other articles should decline and finally stop the .fudge Kelley*, the Ifarry Olivers and the other monopr, lists and their agpnt* would doubtless go into a perfeet paroxysm of pleasure over the advantages it afforded them to multiply their wealth at the expense of their fellow workers in the vinevard of industrious effort. Patri,'. One flood Turn Ifeserte* Another. Among the many god things that the last I'ongress failed to do was its omission to make any arrangement for the i'nited States to lie represented Bt the grand international exhibition to be held at Amsterdam, opening in May of this year. Mr. S. A. Wheelwright, No. 2 Wall street, New York, is the otficicnt representative of the Holland exposj. lion in the I'nited States, and he has very properly, issued an appeal to the business men of this country, and e* pecially to such a* are interested in the Netherlands trade, to repair the injury done by the failure of Congress.

There is a spasm of alarm over the discovery, *ay* the Altoona Time.*, that it i* easier to get a divorce in I'ennayl vitnia than almost any state of the union- It isn'.t any wonder either. Americvn Newspaper i Directory, which is now in press, it ap pears that the newspaper* and pcriodi cai* of all kind* issued in the I nited Mates and Territories now reach the ini|>o*ing total of 11,190.

The niot re inarkahle change has occurred in the Territories, in which the daily papers have grown from P. to 0 '., and the week lie* from 109 to 243—Dakota being the chief area of activity. The number of monthlies throughout the country grew from 970 to 1,0.14, while the dailies leaped from 990 to 1,002. 'The tigurr* given above are exclusive of I'anada. which possesses a total of 000. It i* interesting to note that the newly j •ettled region* of the Canadian North West are productive of newspapers as well a* of wheat, for the number of journals issued in Manitoba was nearlv doublet! during the year. W AMI i KOTOW, March IX.—The Terri torial Legislature of Dakota ha* author i I red during the rnrr.-nt year the issrj anee of almost 1750,000 in bond* to meet railroad indebtedness.
