A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER
While every one Is speaking of the present
season as beingtemarkable In Its character's
tics, some reliable facts of the year 1818,
known as "the year without a summer," will
be Interesting. Few persons now living c' n
recollect it, but It was the coldest ever known
throughout Europe and America. The fol
lowing Is a brief abstract of the weather dur
ing each month of the year :
January was mild ;so much as to render
fires almost needless In parlors. December
previous was very cold.
February was not very cold ; with. the ex
ception of a few days it was mild like its pre
decessor.
March was cold and boisterous during the
first part of it ; the remainder was mild.—A
great freshet on the Ohio and Kenthcky riv•
ere caused great loss of property.
April began warm, but grew colder as the
month advanced, and ended with snow and
Ice, and a tea:permute more like winter than
spring.
May was more remarkable for frowns than
smiles. Buds and fruits were frozen ; Ice
formed half an inch thick ; corn killed, and
the fields again and again replanted until
deemed too late.
June was the coldest ever known in this lat
itude. Frost, ice end snow were common.
Almost every green thing killed. Fruit near
ly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of
ten inches In Termont, several in Mains, three
In the interior of New York, and also in Mas
sachusetts. Considerable damage was don.-
at New Orleans iu consequence of the rapid
rise of the river; the suburbs were covered
with water, and the roads were only pasable
In boats.
July was accompanied by frost and Ice.—
On thq fifth, Ice was formed of the thickness
of common window glass, throughout New
England, New York, and some parts of Penn
sylvania. Indian corn was nearly all destroyed
some favorably situ Ate& fields escaped. This
was true of some of the hill-farms in Massa
chusetts.
August was more checidess, if possible, than
the summer months already passed.—lce was
formed half an inch thick. Indian corn was
so frozen that the greater part was cut down
and dried for fodder. Almost every greed
thing was destroyed, both in this country and
In l'urope. Papers received from England
state "that it would be remembered by the
present generation, that the year 1816 was a
year In which there was no summer." Very
little corn ripened in the New Englund and
?diddle States. Farmers supplied themselves
from the corn produced in 1815 for the seed
of the spring 01 1817. It sold at from four to
five dollars per bushel.
September furnished about two weeks of
the mildest weather of the season. Soon after
the middle it became very cold and frosts ;
ice formed a quarter of an inch thick.
October produced more titan its share of
cold weather; frost and Ice in common.
November was cold and blustering. Snow
tell as to make it good slelghine.
December was mild and comfortable.
7he above is a brief summary of the "cold
summer of 1810," as it was called, In order
to distinguish It from the cold season. The
winter was mild. Frost and ice were com
mon in every month of the year. Very little
vegetation matured in the Eastern and Mid
did States. The sun's rays seemed to be des
titute of heat throughout the summer.; all na
ture was clad in a sable hue, and men exhib
ited no little anxiety concerning the future of
this life.
The average wholemle price of flour dur
ing that year, in the Philadelphia market,
was thirteen dollars per barrel. The averi , ga
price of wheat, in England, was ninety-seven
shillings I.er quarter.

turns to Its direct charges against Greeley of
corruptly intriuging with Democratic leaders
for their party's nomination for the Presiden.
op, =Lilo he was publicly claim in' to -
Republican, and obtaining subscribers to hia
paper under the pretence that it was and
would continue to be a Republican journal.
The Republican now makes its charges, brief.
ly and pointedly, and directly to BIT, Greeley,
Jtt these words ;
The charge that you are committed for pen
sions for rebel disabled soldiers has never been
met by you, by dental or explanation. It was
not among the formal charges ol the Bingham
ton Republican, which comprised the leading
and essential facts of your intrigue and con
spiracy in the fall of 1871 for"Democratiesppl
port, through whiell, in part, you were nomi
nated for President at Cincinuall,and through
that prearranged support, received the Demo
cratic nomination at Baltimore. The matter
01 rebel pensions appeared as one of many
proofs 01 the principle charge. This journal
having made a special and thcrough investi
gation, finds that your failure to deny Ito cor,
redness of the rebel pension.proof is because
that proof, in a little different form than that
In which it was first presented, is true. Your
attention is invited to the following points,
which the Republican carefully makes on its
own account, and irrespective of any other
proofs :
1. That you held a Correspondence about
the Presidency for yourself, with a man opted.
ly and avowedly in favor of rebel pensions.
2. That he gave his Views to you freeley,in
writing, in a letter In which lie proposed you
should be a candidate of the Democrats and
others against the Republican party.
3. That you acknowledged the receipt of
that letter ; that you expressed yourself aflirm
atively and not otherwise concerning your
correspondent's views i and in hinguog--
which, as answer tat h proposition to rebel
pensions, was undeniably an assent, and was
so accepted and regarded.
4. That subsequently you invited that cor
respondent to come to New York ; that you
discussed with him the proposed "comprom
ises" with the South on the basis of the pre
ceding correspondence, and agreed (then and
afterward) to be the candidate for the Presl
dency that you now aro..
S. fhat you have said nothing, by "athor
ization," in the Tribune or at Portiand—and
the Tribune has said nothing, squarely—in
consistent with these statements and incon
sistent with a full pledge, on your part, for
rebel pensions; but, on the contrary your
evasions are constructively and fairly consid
ered as pleas of liguilty,"
8. That your advocacy of the right of acces
sion, your proposal during the war to pay for
the slaves of the South, your haste to bail the
rebel chief, your public utterance relating to
the equal honor in which Northern and Bouth
ern soldiers should he held, and in flue, your
late and present political associations and re
lations, make a public record, in addition to
your private record, for rebel pensions,
.and
for other rebel indemnities.
The Republican asks for it direct answer to
these charges as published ; and it demands
that Mr. Oreeley shall say, if It is true, that
he is opposed to rebel pensions. It is quite
willing that Mr. Greeley should escape by it
present declaration to that effect. If he does
not at the same Unto deny what is true, or
oven Ulm denies a little that Is true ; since It
desires, fur the credit of our politics, that the
rebel pension issue should be taken out of the
canvass.
•But the Republican gives notice that on the
main charge, of Democratic intrigue, through
which was consummated the political treason
of Mr. Greeley, he is not to be permitted to
escape. That charge does In no respect de
pend on the rebel pension Issue; and Mr.
Greeley, fully convicted On the original in
dictment; will lie shown to be guilty on his
letters alone, whether he publishes them or
not."
The New York Tribune editorially inqUires,
"Is there a limit to lying 4" Carl t 4 citure's
limit is said to be 4200.—Missouri Democrat.
H. G. will need a new and improved set of
blasphemies is these fall elections do not quit
running in favor of the Republican party.
The Boston Pilot, which ought to be good
authonty with all Catholics, has been investi
gating the charge of Know-Nothingism which
has been preferred against Henry W Henn, the
Republican candidate for Vice President. The
editor has been able to find nothing to justify
the accusation, except the rue* that Mr. Wil
son received a few votes for Governor in the
Know-Nothing Convention, and declined the
nomination. The Pilot arrives at this con•
elusion :
"If Mr. Wilson uttered these things in 1854
the Pilot did not say anything about it, which
surprises us. We are, therefore, inclined M
believe, whether Mr. Wilson was a Know-
Nothing or not, that these alleged quotations
are manufactured as campaign documenta,and
unusually dirty campaign documents, at
that."
OUR PLATFORM.
We re-publish to-day the platform of the
Republican party, lest during the time that
has clarified since its framing some of Its vital
principles may have escaped the recollection
of the general reader.
The Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention In the city
of Philadelphia, on the sth and 6th days of
June, 1872, again declares its faith, appeals to
its history, and announces its position tryna
the questions before the country :
1. During eleven years of supremacy it has
accepted with grand courage the solemn du
ties of the time, it suppressed a gigantic .e.
hellion, emancipated four millions of slaves,
decreed the equal citizenship of all, and estab
lished universal suffrage. Exhibiting unpar
alleled magnanimity, It criminally punished
no man for political offenses, and warmly
welcomed all who proved loyalty by obeying
the laws and dealing justly with their neigh
bors. It has steadily decreased, with a firm
hand, the resultant disorders of a great war,
and initiated a wise and humane policy to
ward the Indians. The Pacific Railroad and
inular vast enterprises have been generously
aided and successfully conducted, the public
hinds freely given to actual settlers, immigra
tion protected and encouraged, and a full ac
knowledgment of the naturalized citizen's
rights secured from European powers. A
uniform national currency has been provided,
repudiation frowned down, the riational credit
sustained under life most extraordinary bur
dens,and new bonds negotiated at lower rates.
The revenues have been carefully collected
and honestly applied ; despite annual largo re
ductions of the rates of taxation, the public
debt has been reduced during General Grant's
Presidency at the rate of a hundred millions a
year ; great financial crises have been avoided
and peace and plenty prevail throughout the
land. Menacing foreign difficulties have been
peacefully and honorably composed, anu the
'moor and power of the nation kept in high
respect throughout the world. This glorious
record of the past is the party's beet pledge
for the future. We believe ')tat the people
will not trust the Government to any party or
combination of men composed chiefly of those
who have resisted every step 01 this beneficial
progress.
2. Complete lib :rty and exact equality in
the enjoyment of all civil. political and public
rights, 'mould be established and effectually
main , ained throughout the Union, by efficient'
and appropriate State and Federal legislation.
Neither the law nor its administration should
admit of any discrimination In respect of chi
zens by reason of race, creed, color, or previ
ous condition of servitude.
3. The recent amend.nents to the Nationa
constitution should be cordially sustained be
cause they are right, not merely tolerated be
cause theylire law, and should be carried mil
according' to their spirit by appropriate legis•
lotion, the euforcement of which can safely be
entrusted only to the party that secured those
amendments.
4. The national government should seek to
maintain honorable peace with all nations,
protecting its citizens everywhere, and sym
pathizing with all people who strive lor great
er liberty.
5. Any system of the civil service under
which the subordinate positions of the Gov
ernment are considered rewards for mere par
ty zeal is fatally demoralizing; and wo there
tore favor a relorm of the system by laws
which shall abolish the evils of patronage,and
make honesty, efficiency and fidelity the es
sential qualifications for public pO-Minns, with
out practically creating a lite tenure of office.
ff. We are opposed to further grants of the
public lands to corporations and m tuopolies,
and demand that the national domain bs act
apart for tree homes for the people.
7. The annual revenue, alter paying cur
rent 'expenditures, pensions and the interest
on the public debt, should furnish a moderate
balance for the reduction of the princi; a' ; and
the revenue, except so much as may be de
rived from a tax upon tobacco and liquors, be
raised by duties upon importations, the duties
of which should be so adjusted as to aid in se
curing remunerative wages to labor, and pro
mote the industry, growth and prosperity of
tll , ^ t t c
Joouutry
8. We hold in undying honor tne semen
and sailors whose valor saved the Union.
Their pensions are a sacred debt of the nation ;
and the widows and orphans of those who
died for their country are entitled to the care
of a generous and grateful people. We favor
suet] additional legislation as will extend the
bounty of the government to all our soldiers
and sailors who were honorably discharged,
sad who, in the time of duty, became disabled,
without regard to the length of service or the
cause of such discharge.
ff. The doctrine of Great Britaib and other
European Powers, coneureing allegiance—
it once a subject always a.subject"—having at
last through the efforts of the Republican party,
been abandoned, and the American idea of
the individual's right to transfer allegiance
having been accepted by European nations,
it is the duty of our government to guard
with jealous care the rights of adopted MR.
zees against the assumption of unauthorized
olaini:by their former governments. And we
urge continual careful encouragement and
protection of voluntary immigration.
10.. The franking privilege ought to be abol
ished, and the way prepared for a speedy re•
duction iu the rates of postage. '
11. Among the questions which press for
attention is that which concerns the relations
of capital and labor, and the Republican party
recognizes the duty of so shaping legislation
as to secure:full protection and the amplest
field for capital, and for labor, ,the creator of
capital, the largest opportunities and a just
share of mutual profits of these two great ser•
vents of civilization.
12. We hold that Congress and the Preal
dent have only fulfilled on iinperetlve duty in
their tueaspres foi the. suppression of violent
and treasonable organizations in certain lately
rebellious regions, and or the proteCtion of
the ballot box, and therefore they are entitled
to the thanks of the natiln.
13. We denounce repudiation of the public
debt in any form or disguise as a national
crime. We witness with prjde the reduction
of the priecipal of the debt and of the rates of
Interest upon the balance, and confidently ex•
peel that our excellent national currency will
ho perfected by a speedy resumption of specie
payment.
14. The Republican party is mindful of its
obligations to the loyal women of America for
their noble devotion to the cause of freedom:
Their admission to wider fields of usefulness
is viewed with satisfaction, and the honest de
manor' of any elasa of citiFens fur additional
rights should be treated with respectful con ,
siderntion.
15. We heartily approve the action of Con.
gress in extending amnesty to those lately in
rebellion, and rejoice in the growth of peace
and fraternal feeling throughout the land.
16. The Republican party propose to to.
spect the rights reserved by the people to
themselves as carefully as the powers delegated
by them to the State and to the Pederal Gov•
urnmeot. It disapproves of the resort to un
constitutional laws fur the purpose of remov
ing evils, by interference with rights not sur
rendered by the people to either the State or
National Government.
17. It is the duty of the General Govern•
ment to adopt such measures as may tend to
encourage and restore American commerce
anti shipbuilders.
18. We believe that the modest patriotism,
the earnest purpose, the sound judgment, the
practical wisdom, the incorruptible integrity
and the Illustrious services of Ulysses S. Grant
have commended him to tho hearts of the
American people, and with him at our head
we start to day upon a new march of victory.
The present position of some of the eleventh
hour Republicans who have come out forOree.
ley, brings to mind the story of an old fellow
in New Hampshire who, whatever his condi
lion, never lost the annse of his dignity. One
warm summer's day he was seated on the top
of a stage coacu, which was slowly wending
its way over the sandy roads of Concord
Frequent application to his pocket flask had
rendered his position somewhat unsteady, and
at last a sudden jolt tumbled him off into the
sand by the roadside. The driver stopped,
and with aid from the passengers, he was at
last set up again in the coach, between two
other men, who were to guard against a re
currence of such an accident.
Our hero looked very Bolemn for a mile or
two without any remark, and then spoke ;
"1 alley, driver, we hod a pretty bad %m
-allet."
"Upset!We havn't upset," replied the
driver a little hurt at the suggestion.
Yes we did upshot! I shay we did upshet!
I'll ldave It to this gommelman If we didnt'
upshot."
The umpire decided at once against him.
The Solemn look came back to his face : He
meditated some minutes and then gravely re
sponded—
"l shay, driver, if I had known we didn't
mullet 1 teoubln't or got off."
CARPET-BAGUERS.
What doeslar. Greeley propose to do about
"carpet-baggers," if he is elected ? Consider•
ing the amount of attention given by hie or.
gans to the evils alleged to II ise from carpet
baggers, an answer to this question would be
interesting. %Ye do not now stop to expose
'he fact, that most of the frauds attributed to
this clues have been contrived and executed
by natise Southerners and by Simthern Dem
ocrats at that, but we simply ask the plain
question, how are the evils to be removed by
election of Mr. Greeley ? It must he retnem.
bead that thi so carpet•buggers, on whose
Conduct Mr. Greeley is so bitter, are not Fed
cent officials any more than Tweed or Hoff
man or Winans, or other loyal supporters of
anti sympathizers with Greeley in this State.
They are officials chosen by the process of
"local self-government." for which the Cin
cinnati platthrin expresses such warm admi
ration. Gen. Grant did not appoint them.
No Republican Senator helped them to power.
No Republican Congressman had anything
to do with bringing them into political life.
They are the product of universal suffrage far
less perverted by fraud, bribery or corruption
than it is In the City of New-York. Does Mr.
Greeley propose to Interfere with the opera
tion of universal suffrage? Does he intend to
deny the right of South Carolina to elect en
tives of other States to its Stall• offices in ac
cordance with Its own Constitution ? If not,
what does he propose to do iu the premises ?
Moreover, what carpetbaggers is he oppos
eno Y He has had nothing to say lately of
one Warmoth, of Louisiana. Warmth was
largely instrumental in starting the Greeley
ball at Cincinnati. In company with his wor
thy confederate, Reuben E. Fenton, whom as
a politician he resembles in craft and acqulsi•
tiveness, though he far excells him in daring
and force of will, Warmoth may be said to
'have secured Greeley the Cincinnati nomina
Lion. Hence this silence. Are we to under
stand, then, that whatever Mr. Greeley can
do to squelch carpet-buggers will be done to
ward those who oppose him, while the fol
lowers of Warmoth are to be exempt? II so,
we have n pretty sort of inducement to vote
for Greeley. Warmoth is the worse of his
class. As a politician he Is thoroughly dis
lamest and corrupt, versed in all the arts 01
Tammany, Without scruple as to means, al
though his acts may threaten civil discord,
and involve extensive violation •of law and
usurpation of power. A political swindler, a
reckless, abandoned ndveuturer, lie stops at
nothing that promises to subserve his ends.
Is this the kind of carpet•buggcr Mr. Greeley*
proposes to favor ? It would seem so from
is present course
In point of fact, is it not true that the only
way in which Mr. Greeley as President could
affect carpet baggers would he by letting loose
the Kulllux upon theta? We all know what
that would lead to. The worst atrocities of
t.c Kuklux arc justified by declaring that they
were directed against carpet-baggers and their
supporters, and under this pretense, In sever
al States au entire political party was at one
time practically disfranchised. With a Presi
' dent Inclined to .crept this pretense, the Ku
klux would enjoy the utmost license. While
they would readily spare the real thieves like
Warmoth, there would be no protection for
their enemies on whom they chose to cast the
stigma of what they delight to call "foreign"
birth. This is a point that candid voters
should remember. Mr. Greeley's constant
talk about carpet baggers is meant for South
ern care, and to them It conveys hints easily
understood of the latitude which Greeley as
President would allow to the vindictive pas.
sions of the Kukiux. As wo have pointed
out, the carpet-buggers are the fruit of univer
sal suffrage. Mr. Greeley's remedy for South
ern grievances of this kind must be directed
to universal suffrage, and as far as his own
hints and the avowals of his supporters go,
his means of modifying universal suffrage in
this regard will he tolerance to the Kultlux.—

RATS.
The town of Loose, England, was at ona
time literally overrun with rats, and destruct.
ion was threatened to the agricultural pro
make one united and vehement effort to ex
tirpate the whole colony of Invadors. Ordi•
nary means of destruction had been tried al
ready, but without effect. It was said that
ra's left for dead on the ground had myster
iously revived faster than they could be picked
up and skinned, or flung into the sea. Hats
desperately wounded had got away into their
holes, had become convalescent, and had in
created and multiplied again more produc
tively than ever. The great problem wits,not
now to kill the ruts, but how to annihilate
them so effectually that the whole population
might certainly know that the reappearance
even of one of them was altogether out of the
question. This was the problem, and it was
solved in the following manner: All the
available inhabitants of the town were called
to-join in a great hunt. The rats were caught
by every conceivable enlace ; and, 01100 tak•
en, were Instantly and ferociously smothered
in onions; the corpses were then decently
laid out on clean china dishes, and straight
way eaten with vindictive renal' by the peo
ple of Leone. Never was any invention for
destroying rats So complete and so successful.
Every man, woman and child, who could eat
could swear to the death and annihilation of
all the rats they had eaten. The local returns
of dead rats were not made by the bills of mor
tality but by the bills of fare ; it was getting
rid ofa nuisance by the unheard of process of
stomaching a nuisance ! Day afire day pass
ed on, and rats disappeared by hundreds, nev
er to return. What could all their cunning
and resolntion avail them now ? They had
restated still, the ordinary force of dogs, fer
rets, traps, sticks, stones, and guns, arrayed
against them ; but when to these engines of
assault were added, as auxiliaries, smothering
onions, scalding stew-pans, hungry mouths,
sharp teeth, good digestions and the gastric
juice, what could they do but give in ? Swift
and sure was the destruction that now over
whelmed them. Everybody. who wanted a
dinner had a strong personal interest in hunt
ing them down to the very last. In a short
space of time the island was cleared of the
usurpers. Cheeses remained entire ; ricks
rose uninjured. And this is the true story of
how the people of Loose got rid of the rats.

IResults of Free Trade in England
There is in England an influential organiza
tion under the name of " The Association of
Revivers of British Industry." These men
are advocates of the policy of protection and
opponents of free trade. It has been generally
supposed in America that the movement was
weak and unimportant. But such does not
appear to be the case. Quite a number of
very able works have been written and pub.
fished in England in advocacy of. protection
since this effort started, and the following in
teresting letter addressed to the Right Hon.
John Bright by the President of the Associa
tion shows that a serious agitation is In pro
gress :
The Association of Revivers of British
Industry to the Bight Hon. John Bright, M.
: Your last speech tends to condemn
those who differ from you In what Is called a
tree-trade policy. As we are as earnest in our
belief, as you profess to he in yours, I trust
you will pardon our audacity in asking you a
few simple questions. What do you mean by
free trade? Is the fact rint England opens
her ports tree to the world when no other
country will reciprocate (not even our own
colonies) a proof that free trade exists, or that
It dons not? Granted that the trade of Eng
land has increased greatly during the last
thirty years ; but have not other countries in
creased also ? But Is it not possible that the
gold discoveries, increase of population, rail
ways and telegraphs, may have something to
do with increasing our trade.? You speak 01
free trade having benefited the workman by
giving him cheaper food ? Are you aware
that workmen all over the country are now
striking, and they allege that food and rent
aro so much dearer that they require higher
wawa ? Are you aware that the introduction
of foreign manufactures duty free has sent
thousands of our best workmen out of the
country, thousands into the workhouse, hun
dreds to death, and these results have thrown
a heavy burden upon the ratepayers of the
country ? Are you aware Balt foreigners are
buying our pig Iron in such quantities that it
has increased in price, and that we also sup.
ply foreigmrs with such quantities of coals
that we now have to pay nearly double the
former price? Are you aware that the crews
of our vessels mainly consist of foreign sea
men ? Are you aware that our increased ex•
ports mainly consist in the re export of foreign
Imports, raw material and manulactures, our
coals and Iron, and not in British manufac
tures solely, as we are led to believe by knaves
who advocate one-sided free trade? Are you
aware that the Cobden Club has relinquished
Its anima! congratulation dinner because of
the serious blow their principles have receives
from the change in public opinion here, as
well as the firm reliance on protection to na
ttonal industry evinced by America, Prance
and other countries? Are you aware that the
people who advocate one sided free trade here
are not the laboring classes, but the gentle.
men who buy and sell foreign goods, and
English capitalists who erect manufactories
for counties, and die worth millions by turn
ing their own countrymen out of employment
for their own especial benefit ? lam sure, it
your principles are sound, you can answer all
these questions, and to our discomfiture. If
you cannot, we shall feel that they have been
justly doubted and assailed.
Your very humble servant,
"July 15. J. Ilonmursott, President."
We commend the sentiments contained In
this letter to those American free-trade's
who are never weary of pointing out to us
what they call the brilliant results of free trade
in England. These British movements to re
vive their industry do not much loos c as though
free trade had worked altogether as successful
ly there as wo have been told. It is notorious
that the picture of the condition of the work-
ing classes in Great Britain drawn in this let
ter is literally correct. We need ask no further
evidence of this than is afforded by the im
mense Increase of British (migration to the
United States, Canada,'aid Australia, caused

is fostered and sustained by protective tariffs.
In the actual condition of labor in all these
countries, but especially In the United States,
he British operatives have arguments that no
sophistry can dispose of. The Association,
whose letter we quote, argues on behalf of
those who are too poor to emigrate, and who
can only toil and suffer or go to the poor
house. This letter asserts distinctly that the
introduction of foreign manufactures Into the
British isles under a frec•trade tariff, in com
petition with their own home Industry, has
sent thousands of the best workmen out oftho
country, thousands into the workhouse, hun
dreds to death, and heavily increased the bur
thetas of the taxpayers.
American frec•traders are perfectly aware
that this la the inevitable rosultof the excessive
and ruinous foreign competition they advo•
Gate ; and when told of the throwing of thou.
sands of people out of employment, their re
ply is, let them emigrate to the west, where
there Is plenty of wild laud, and there go to
cultivating the earth, and raising crops to
feed the millions of Europe, although they
know at the time they urge ibis that these
people are utterly ignorant of farming, and
that it would be abom as sensible to urge the
farmer to buy looms and go to work to weave
line silks. Free trade, in fact, for its success•
ful maintenance, requires that Its largest and
most important item of export should be hu•
man beings Thus the British isles have sent
us annually an immense supply of this sort,
the unavoidable result of free trade. They
were sent to us because under our protective
system we could employ them. But when
ever the free-traders got Ufa upper hand here,
and employment In the manufacturing States
fell off, we were compelled to adopt the Eng-
lish policy, and export human beings to tho
west to relieve the pressure at home.
Now, in fact,it is not possible for free trade
to exist under any other circumstances. The
policy of Franco Is protective, and conse
quently the condition of the French masses is
far superior to that of the British multitude,
and they are not an emigrating race. The
superiority of their productive arts is iOIIOWII
- all over the world, and it is a superiority
created and sustained for centuries by protec
tion. The French have no need to export
human beings In countless thousands to ro -
mote regions to prevent their starving at home.
They protect theirarts, an I thus furnish em
ployment to the Industrious mass.
But the hardest blow given by this letter to
free trade is that Inflicted by the statement
that the increased exports of the British Isles,
of which so much has been said, consist of the
reexport of foreign Imports, foreign raw ma
terials, foreign manufactures and British raw
materials. Thus England imports enormous
quantities of tea and coffee merely to make
the profit on them by shipping them to other
countries. In like manner she does an ins
mense brokerage business iu wool, cotton and
almost every thing else that can ho gathered
from any where abroad and sold again to other
foreign countries. But this process, while it
increases the wealth of the rich,is oleo benefit
in furnishing emplOyment t, ho poor, and
at the same time these prodigious export sta.
tlstlcs are used to delude the people Into the
belkf that the trade Is healthy and natural,
and results from the prosperous condition of
home industry, when it is far otherwise.
Nothing could more clearly Illustrate the in-
thtuatlon of those who control British com
merce than the present condition of the iron
and coal markets there, prices having risen so
enormously, by reason of excessive exports,
as to increase the cost of production in every
branch of manufactures, and tb embarrass tho
manufacturers as well as the consumers. The
end does not scent to bo far off In England,
and It la worth while for American students
of political economy to watch the progress of

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Sept. 3;
The battle Is over. The jig Is. up. The
child is christened, and hie name is Ulysses S.
Grant, lithe vote in this State today Is to be
taken as a criterion of the feelings of the peo
ple. It has been a Waterloo defeat for the
opposition: The gain for the Administration
is thus far more than thirty per cent. upon the
vote last year, and the majority for tho Re
publican candidate for Governor will be over
twenty-live thousand. The struggle has been
a severe one, and aim victory is therefore the
more complete and significant. The Liberals
and Democrats brought out their full strength
but the Administration forces were too strong
ly entrenched and too well officered to be
dislodged. The Democratic papers were early
prepared for the result. The Liberal Demo
cratic candidate for Governor early in the day
t legraphed as follows to the editor of the
Democratic organ in Montpelier: " Bring ont
your big roosters and turn them bottom tip.
They've gone baek on us." Signed, Gent.
NEIL The Senate is unanimously Republican,
possibly with one exception. Tho Demo-
crats have carried Swanton for representative.
Chat is all so far as heard from.
That Greeley tidal wave seems to have been
corked up so far as Vermont is concerned.

A DEMAGOGUE FOR GOVERNOR.
In the campaign now pending In this Com
monwealth Mr. Buckalew is as clearly the
enemy of active capital as any man over was.
makes no difference what demand may be
made by political incendiaries, whether it be
tire restriction of the hours of labor to eight,
or six, or tour hours a day, or giving the oper
ative a share in the profits of a concern to
which he contributed not a dollar of capital,
Mr. Buelorlew is for It. The vote of the ope
rative is to him of vastly more consequence
than the votu'of the capitalist, only -tor the
reason that there are more operatives than
capitalists.
This is no exaggeration,for surely the man
who in the midst of a tremendous war, would
make a merit of trebling the expense of the
conflict by paying a million of soldiers in gold
regardless alike of solvency or insolvency,
would have no more sense of justice or right
than to play the demagogue to curry favor
with any class sufficiently numerous to form
an important element In the popular vote. Mr.
Buckalew comes from Columbia county,in the
coal and iron regions of eastern Pennsylvania
and, it is mainly through the influence of just
such demagogues twat all our troubles with
the coal miners have occurred. The coal and
railroad and iron and manufacturing interests
of this part of the country ought to hear Mr.
Buckalew in mind on lute account. Ho has
worked hard ro earn this distinction, and he
should have the full benefit of It. Every man
who burns coal may attribute a portion of the
high prices ho has paid to Such demagogues as
Buckalew. The manufacturers, who were at .
one time compelled to suspend operations on
account of the troubles In the coal la ;Vona, „
may look at Mr Buckalew as the representa
tive man at this time of that class of danger-
ous demagogues whose influence led to the'
secret organizations of the miners. • .
The present opportunity is a good one for •
business men to administer a wholesome lesson
to all this class of demagogues, to whose per
nicious counsels and influence we owe so
many disastrous disturbances of trade, and
we sincerely trust that they will appreciate
the necessity of availing themselves of it.
Not merely the capitalist is interested in doing
so, but all who aro dependant on the regular •
supplies of such raw materials as coal and
iron for their employment, or for the prosper- ,
ity of their business, aro deeply cdhcerned. ,
Mr. Buckalew has chosen to become theadvo
cate of certain class interests at the expense of
all the rest of the community. If he shall be
rewarded with the office of Governor tor so
doing, It may reasonably be expected that the
example will be imitated by alt who enter pal
!tics with ambitious views, and thus we shall
be ruled by a policy that sacrillaes the inter- • ,
eats of the mass for the interests of a class.
We are serious In making this Issue, as we
believe that the prosperity of all this section
of the State is involved in it. Capital has un- • •
doubtedly been driven from Pennsylvania by
the unfortunate ascendency of demagogues .
like Buckalew. If the business men of the • "
city vote for such a man, they ought to do if
with their eyes open to the issues involved
and the consequence likely to ensue. Buck
alew le as dangerous a man as so indolent a
person can be. If he had more energy he
would do mere mischief; but if elected Clover- '
nor his indolence would he supplementid by.
the active force, vigor and industrious effort of . •
every agitator in the CoMmonwealth of his
own way of thinking. Arid being too Idle to
shape things himself, ha would submit to be: '
a mere tool in the hands-sr( others.: Tbia;ls.!
the character of the man, as It has also ,been
the character of many tot the ,most dangerous
before him.—. North American. •
