On Thursday evening, Secretary Boutwoll delivered an able address upon vital topics at the Philadelphia Academy of Bitable. lie discussed the objects of labor esiociations, showing their imperfections as mediums, for elevating labor. He criticised that lianure which dictates to the boss the' number of ap prentices he shall employ. This, he consid ered, lea dictation not to the employer only, but it is a dictation to the youth of the coun try and to the country itself. We agree with the Secretary in his views upon this subject -and consider it in direct antagonism to the intent and meaning of the liberty which cost so much life and suff•ring to obtain. Even if it were just for mechanics to say what trades this or that boy should learn, we have Built clent evidence of the harm it has done the country to condemn the practice. The object, as we understand it, Is to prevent the trades from becoming overcrowded and—this object has been attained, but nt what expense 4 To day we find the number of competent jour neymen American mechanics Is small com pared with the demand for their services and we have to import others from the machine shops of England to supply places which sh mid be occupied by our own young men, many of whom have been driven into over crowded professions or callings which give them small compensation. The apprentice system needs attention in any other form. Wo want to see it perfected. We want as many young men to outer the trades ns choose, but we want to sea their term of service made the same as in England and the conditions of their becoming joarneymen specified by Leg islative enactment. Then none but good me• ebonies will graduate and there will lie no danger of competition from 'apprentices who have only half Marne I their traas, au there is now in establishments where bosses know so little of their business as to be willing to sub stitnte them at low wages to the places of men who have learned their trades. The secretary's statements upon the subject of our eimmerce were very interesting, and we suppose foreshadow features of Ids annual report. In n brief allusion to the public dobt he. Is reported thus : The last topic of the lecturer consisted of a brief allusion to the public debt. He argued that the political, social, and educational in terests) of the English people would be vast!y promoted by the obliteratl .n of their vast pub lic debt. A national debt could be pald.in one way only ; that is, by the hard process oftax• Won. The co mar our own debt Is paid the less there will be of it to pay. Having criticised the policy of the laboring people, he said he would apply the some test of criticism to the policy of the capitalists of the country. He asked, had they considered how much of the machinery and expenses of the Government Vllll3 devoted solely for the protect . ion and gunr dianship of capital and property'? The la boring man alter all rce , ived comparntivr ly little of the protection of the Goverem. at, and Inn wished to any here. in the ma- two of men of wealth, that they should emit ribirte to the prompt pigment of the public d. ht means of relict for the batwing peoble, Is came the longer its payment was de•etr. d th.. !urger would be the amount which all the opie, poor 58 Well 118 rich, would Mice to c or e r u ri n e.

A public debt does not pay it. relf. A natlort In debt, like au individual, Is never free. UPON several occasions 'we have felt prompt. ed to say swoothlug disagreeable about that class of people who go to the Opera Boise or Court House, when a lecture or a concert is announced, apparently merely' because other people go—to be in fashion—so that they can say they, have been there end wasn't it grand ! The class we refer to certainly cannot have any appreciation of good music or good common re nee, else why do they pattle and giggle, to the great annoyance of those who paid for the privilege of listening to the person or persons on the stage ? This being deprived of the pleasure of enjoying to the fullest extent the prdiluctions of skilled musicians, or a carefully prepared lecture, is a great annoyance to many of our citizens, but we are glad to know for the sake of Allentown's reputation that the habit of talking during a perftwmance is neither originr.l nor practiced exclusively here. Even In Bu'Lron this class of people disturb public entertainments, but lu Boston they hand them slips of paper with " are you aware how loud you arc talking ?" or "are you aware that you aro tolling what should be family secrets to those seated near yoir?" It Is said that these polite but pungent suggestions have a charm ing effect end we recommend Messrs. Ha genbuchlo have similar notes printed for use during entertainments given at the Opera House. JOISEPIT E. HOOD, Orr of the editors of the Rocky Mountain News, died a few days ago at Denver, Colorado, at the ago of 50. Mr. Rood was a native of Massachusetts, a gradu ate of Dartmouth College, and from 1854 to 0118 was the leading editorial writer upon the epringfleld, Mass,, Republican. Few men were oven en specially and pecularily fitted for the editorial profession as was Mr. Hood, and fewer still have been able to de so much work and to do It all an well.

Twenty-one States linVe held elections this year and out of those. fifteen have gone Re publican and six Democratic. The Republi can Birth s poll 183 votes in the Electoral Col leer for Presi , lant, while the Dertmenttle States poll hitt 51. In the Democratic list are New Ilampshire and New Jersey,,, one end probably both of which will decrease theDem omatic vote by going Republican in 1872. Thus the reason f s plainly put why Frank Blair and some other of the shining lights of the'Demotracy arc abandoning their party and endeavoring to create.a now sensation. In Democracy they see not a shadow of chance, and they will resort to anything to gain control of the loaves andfishes. Btilithe Democratic press keeps up a hopeful counte nance,though this must not be taken as an in dication of the 11. , sult in prospeot, for their bread and butter depeeds upon keeping the remnants of their party together, and especi ally in the counties which give Democratic majorities can they maintain this appearance as they are kept In a cheerful state by the pickings front the county patronage. EIEWZI Dome Bitoons, In 1118 latest China let tor, says: "They tell a good story In Pekin.of Gover nor Seward, when here—doubtless a lie, but Len good 11 story to be lost for that. The ex, pectations of the ex-Governor were doubtless great, when he entered the great capital of this great empire, with which he bad made a great treaty; and he thereforelndulgod hithese greet expectations of a great welcome. As he enter ed the gates of Pekin, a great funeral proces sl.n was coining out, with music, catafalque, &c., &c.; all as imposing as a grand procession of some gloat dead man could well be made The Governor was entering with the marine baud of the Colorado, mounted on donkles, as tide graced procession was going out. The great living and the great dead thus met. The Governor, naturally enough, concluded this was In honor of his grand entree, and he rose and rose, In his open Sedan chair, and bowl d and bowed, and then ordered a halt, an got out, [ma bowed, rind bowed again, to the cat• nfalque and the dead. The Chinese think on foreigners are rather mad, and hence did not marvel over it as much as they might; but when Governor Seward found out what he had done, tile story is, he was more mad than pleased."

His death Is a loss to Philadelphia that cannot be estimated. A WASHINGTON dispatch states that Mont gomery Blair feels confident that some plan will be devised before tiongress adjourns for the union of the disaffected Republicans and Democrats in opposition to the re.clection of President Grant. There undoubtedly are some Republicans who would prefer some other can. didule In the next campaign than our present President, but we fancy that there are very few Republicans waif' will deliberately aid the Democrate in defeating the Republican party and Its candidate. The nominee of the Re publican party will command the support of that party, and the Democratic party cannot Count upon electing a President with the old of Republican votes: THE Scranton Sales of anthracite coal, on Wednesday, show considerable falling off le prices.

' THE LFitTIGH REGISTEU, iLLENTOW r ,N. WEDNE§DAY, DECEMBER 6, 1871. GROWING POORER. -Probably-nothing exhibits more forcibly the necessity fur a high protective tariff than the statements of exports and Imports from and to this country. For the seven months ending July 81,141, the goodsimported amounted to eete,220,94, while onr produce exported amounted to only $378,710,227, making the enormous balance of $41,50?,725 against us,' or at the rate of nearly. $75,000,000 a year. Since the close of the war the importations of Iron have been steadily increasing and that, too, of a commodity that exists in our own country In unlimited quantities rind only re- quires capital and labor to put it Intl:title mar. ket. While this is true of Iron It is also true of other manufaotures which we should pro duce hero in such quantities as to supply the demand ; and if the Meld' was 'efficiently high to encourage capital to take the risk—or if the agitation of free trade by the Revenue Reform ers did not place even the present tariff lawn in danger of repeal—the number of our man ufactories, instead of being nearly at a steed still, would ho increased at such erste that we should soon be independent of foreign menu- lecturers. A protective tariff cannot be made too high for the simple reason that if any one branch of manufactures become extntordinarl ly profitable there would be plenty of capital ists embarking In the bu Mess to create suffi cient competition at home to regulate prices at not more than a fair paying rate. During the war the high premium on gold Increased the tariff rate and any one of ordinary power of recollection cannot forget the prosperity that our country enjoyed during that period, the perfect glut In the money market and the In crease or manufactories on every hand. Did the West complain of hard times then? During the past few yenra the balance of trade has been against us ; we have been go ing In debt to foreign nations year by year— and is it to he wondered at after the above ex hibit•that money Is becoming scarcer and trade poorer ? Aro the manufacturing districts alone affected ? The West will tell you that a tariff, by raising priers of manufactures, benefits the people of the manufacturing districts at the ex pense of the people of the agricultural dlitricts. During the high tariff times of the War the West enjoyed an unexampled prosperity. Goods of every kind that they consume are much lower now, yet are they as prosperous now as they were then ? Are they—being a part of the whole country—not affected by Ibis constant excess of importation's over exports, this constantly increasing shipment of our wealth to the old world ? Do we alone suffer by It? These are questions which it would be well for tome of our Lehigh county friends to weigh—those who are tariff men only he. came they reside in a manufacturing district and not because a tariff is a benefit to the wholo country—to the agriculturist as well as to the manufacturer.. The theories adduced In Amor of a proteo tive tariff appear too intricate to dispel preju dice from ignorant minds. The Democratic llce trade ideas hang heavily upon the minds of old fossils who ought to have been &ad long ago and unfortunately retain some Influ ence upon the minds of their offsprinr.

Much has been said and written concerning the effect produced upon the health of the community by atmospheric conditions result ing from the presence of cemeteries, hut few fully comprehend the extent to winch the state of the atmosphere is thus affected. or ap preciate the manner in which this influence is exerted. In the great malority of cases, and le most climates, the area of a long used and crowded churchyard may be justly considered, in a practical point of view, as a manufactory of pestilential exhalatione, continually in opera. tine, and so abundantly eupplled with the . materials of production, that at no time, prob.

In Europe the existence of cemeteries in large (Mee has lodg been prohibited, the fatal results attending their presence being well un derstood ; but in America this prohibition does ndt exist, the cemeteries of many of the larger plea being located in the suburbs, and these In the singlet Walla god villages, pot unfre. quently adjoining the churches, surrounded by residences.
