BUCM&I AID LOW WAGES ! '
On the 22nd January 1840, Jlr. Buchanan
made a speech in the United States Senate,
(vide Congressional Globe, for Jan. 1810, pp-135-6,
or Niles' Eegister vols. 67 and C8,) in
which the following passages occur :
"In Germany, where the currency i3 purely
metalic, and the cost of everything is EEurc
ed to a bard money standard, a piece of broad
cloth can be manufactured for fifty do!lars,tlie
manufacture of which, in our country from the
expansion of paper currency would cost one
hundred dollars. What is the consequence 7
The foreign French and German manufacturer
imports this cloth into our country and sells it
for a hundred. Does not every person per
ceive that the redundancy of our currency is
equal to a premium of one hundred per cent,
in favor of the manufacturer.
Xo tariff of protection, unless it amounted
to prohibition, could counteract these advan
tages in favor of foreign manufactures. I
would to heaven that I could arouse the atten
tion of every manufacturer of the nation to
this important subject.
"What is the reason that, with all these ad
vantages and with the protective duties which
our laws afford to the domestic manufacture of
cotton, we cannot obtain exclusive possession
of the home market, and successfully contend
for the markets of the world? It is simply
because we manufacture at the nominal prices
of our own inflated currency, and are compel
led to sell at the real prices of other nations.
REDUCE OrR KOMIXAA TO TUE REAL STANDARD OF
PRICES TUROrOnOlT THE WORLD, AXD TOC COV
ER OCR COCSTRT WITU BLESSISCS ASD BENEFITS.
"The comparative low peices of France
and Germany have afforded such a stimulous
to their manrifactures,that they .are now rapid
ly extending themselves, and would obtain
possession, in no small degree, even of the
English home market, if it were sot for
their protective duties. While British man
ufactures are now languishing,: those of the
continent are springing into a healthy and
aigorous existence."
Having thus given Mr. Buchanan's own
smooth and polished language, let us see what
is the meaning of it in plain English, when he
eays "reduce our nominal standard of prices
throughout the whole world, and yon cover
the country with blessings and benefits."
Now, what did Mr. Buchanan mean by this
language, if he meant anything, but that our
standard of prices should be reduced to that
of the hard money currency of Europe ? And
what is the European standard then, to which
he desired our own to be reduced ? Accord
ing to the best authorities on that subject,
Porter's Progress and Wade's History of the
Middle and Working Classes, two recent pub
lication's, containing statistics collected by
the British Government, the standard of pri
ces for labor in Europe, is as follows :
Wage in France. Calais common laborers
7 .d, per day, with board, and without dwel
ling; Boulogne, 5d. per day, do. do. ; Nantes,
8d, per day, without board and without dwel
ling ; Marseilles. 4d. to 7d. per day,with board
and without dwelling. The food in some dis
tricts "consists in rye bread, soup made of
millet, cakes made of Indian corn, now and
then some salt provisions and vegetables, rare
. ly, if ever,butcher's meat." In others,"vheat
en bread, soup made with vegetables, and a
little grease or lard twice a-day, potatoes, or
other vegetables, but seldom butcher's meat."
Sweden. "The daily wages of a skilled ag
riculturist are 7d. or 8d. ; while the unskilled
obtain no more than 3d. or 4d. and board
themselves. Agriculturists in the southern
provinces live upon salt fish and potatoes ; in
the northern provinces, porridge and rye bread
form their food."
Bavaria. "Laborers are paid at the .rate of
8d. per day, in the country," without board.
Belgium. "A skilled artizan may earn, in
Summer, Is. 2. to. Is. 3d.; in Winter, from
" lOd. to Is. 2d. ; unskilled, half as much.witli
out board ; live upon rye bread, potatoes, aud
milk." Agricultural laborers have less.
Germany. "Dantzig, laborers, 4d. to 7d.
per day, without board ; Muhlburg, 7d. per
day, without board ; Holstein, 7d. per day,
without board."
Netherlands. South Holland laborers, 3d.
to 4d. per day, with board; .North Holland,
20d. per day, without board ; Antwerp 5d. per
day, do. ; West Flanders, 06s, to ll'is. per
per year, with board."
Italy. "Trieste laborers, 12d. per day,with
out board ; do. Gd. per day,with board ; Istria,
8d. to lOd. per day, without board ; do. 4d. to
6d. per day, with board ; Lombardy, 4d. to cd
a day, do ; Genoa, 5d. to 8d. per day, do, and
without lodgings ; Tuscany, Cd. per day .with
out either."
Saxony. "In 1837 a man employed in his
own loom working very diligently from Mon
day morning to Saturdaj night, from 5 o'clock
in the morning until dusk, and even at times
with a lamp, his wife assisting him in finishing
and taking him the work, could not possibly
earn more than 20 groschen (about CO cents)
per week. Nor could one who had 3 children
aged 12 years and upwards, all working at the
loom as well as himself, with his wife employ
ed doing up the work, earn in the whole more
than $1 weekly."
These are facts which speak for themselves.
This is the doctrine of James Buchanan, in
1810. Ten cent ia about the average stand
ard of European labor. And it is to this
Gtandard he wished ours to be reduced. How
do you like it, ye honest laboring men of
Pennsvlvania ?

ent Air-Tight Self-Sealing Cans and Jars, for
Preserving Fresh Fruits, &c. This invention for
which a patent has been obtained, commends it
self to the attention of Housekeepers and others,
on account of its great simplicity, and the effectu
al manner in which it accomplished a very desi
rable and useful object
The cans and jars are constructed with a chan
nel around the mouth, near the top, into which
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harden. In order to seal the ves
sel hermetically, it is only necessary to heat the
cover slightly, awl press it into place. It may be
opened with as much ease as it is closed, by slight
ly warming the top. Tho ordinary tin cans, used
for the same purpose for which this is intended,
cannot be closed, as is well known without the aid
of a tinner; are difficult to open, and are generally
so much injured ia opening as to be useless for
future service.
By this simple contrivance, tho process of her
metical sealing is placed conveniently within the
reach of every individual; and fruit, vegetables
and butter (if properly prepared) may be kept,
with their natural flavor unimpaired, for an in
definite length of time. For sale by

Ay er's Cathartic Pills.
TILE sciences of Chemistry and Medicine, have been
taxed their utmost to produce this beet, roost perfect
purgative which is known to man. Innumerable proofs
are shown that these Puxs have virtues which surpass in
excellence the ordinary molicines, and that they win un-.
precedentedly upon the esteem of all men. They are saft
and pleasant to take, but powerful to curs. Their pene
trating properties stimulate the vital activities of the body,
remove the obstructions of bs organs, purify the blood,
and expel disease. They purge out the foul humors which
breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggfeh or dio
dorcd organs into their natural action, and impart healthy
tone with strength to the whole system. Not only do
they cure the every-dsy complaints of every body, bat
also formidable and dantroroca diseases that hare baffled
the best of human ekilL While they produce powerfhl
effects, they are at the same time, in diminished doses, tbe
safcet and best physic that can be employed for children.
Beinc sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take; and being
purely vegetal 'te, are free from any risk of harm. Cure
have been mado which surpass belief were they not sub
stantiated by men of such exalted position and character
as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Many eminent
clergymen and physicians bare lent their names to certi
fy to the pnblic the reliability of my remedies, while oth
ers have sent me the asurauce of their conviction that
my Preparations contribute immensely to the relief of my
afflicted, suncrinjr fellow-men.
The Agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my
American Almanac, containing directions for their use and
certificates of their cures, cf the following complaints:
Costivenes. Bilious Complaints, Rheumatism, Tropsy,
neartbnrn. Ilea '.ache arising from a foul Stomach, Nau
sea, Indigestion, Morbid Inaction of the Bowels and Tain
arising therefrom. Flatulency. Loss of Appetite, all Ulcer
ous and Cntaneons Iiweases which require an evacnant
Medicine. Scrofula or Kinc's Evil. They also, by purify
ing the blood and stimulating the system, cure many
complaints which it would not 1 supposed they could
reach, such as tteafnesa. Partial Blindness. Neuralgia and
Nervous Irritability, Derangements of the Liver and Kid
neys. Gont. and other kindred complaints arising from a
low state of the body or obstruction of its functions.
Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers with some
