BUCHANAN AND LOW WAGES.
On the 22nd January 1840, Mr. Buchanan
made a speech iq the United States Senate,
(vide Congressional Globe, for Jan. 1840, pp.
135-G, or Xiles' Register vols. C7 and 68,) in
which the following passages occur :
"In Germany, where the currency is purely
metalic, and the cost of everything is reduc
ed to a hard money standard, a piece of broad
cloth can be manufactured for fifty dollars,the
manutacture of which, in our country from the
expansion of paper currency would cost one
hundred dollars. What is the consequence ?
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,
ill favor of the manufacturer.
"No tarifi 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 ol 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 Ol'R NOMINAL TO THE REAL STANIlARD OP
RICES TnROlCHOlT THE WORLD, AND TOC COV
KK OL'R COUNTRY WITH BLE8SIXUS AND BENEFITS.
'The comparative low trices of France
" and Germany have atlbrded such a stimulous
to their mannf.ictnres.that they are now rapid
ly extending themselves, and would obtain
possession, iu no small degree, even of the
English home market, ir it were not 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
it the meaning of it in plain English, when he
ays "reduce our nominal standard of prices
throughout the whole world, and you cover
the country with blessings and beneOts."
Xow, 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 Europo ? And
what is the European standard then, to which
he desired our own to be reduced 1 Accord
ing to the best authorities on that sul-ject,
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
7d, 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 rve bread, soup made of
millet, cakes made of Indian corn, moio and
iiien some Sdlt provisions and vegetables, rare
ly, if ever,butcher's meat." In othcrs,41wlieat
Jn Lread, soup made with vegetables, and a
little grease or lard twice a-day, potatoes, or
other ve-retables. 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
1. per day, in tho country," without board
Eeleium. "A skilled artizan may earn, in
.Summer. Is. 2. to Is. od. ; in Winter, from
lOd. to Is. 2d. ; unskilled, half as niuch,with-
out board ; live upon rye bread, potatoes, ana
jnilk." Agricultural laborers have less.
Germany. "Dantzig, laborers, 4d. to 7d
per day, without board ; Muhlburg, d. per
-day, without board; Holstein, 7d. per day,
with nut hoard."
XsiherlanAt. South Holland laborers, 3d.
to 4d. ner day, with board ; North Holland,
20d. per day. without board ; Antwerp 5d. per
day, do.; West Flanders, 90s, to 104s. per
ier vear. with board."
Italy. "Trieste laborers, 12d. per day,with
. out board; do. 6d. per day ,with board ; Istria,
8d. to lOd. per day, without board ; do. 4d. to
5d. per day, with board ; Lombardy, 4d. to 8d
-dny, do ; Genoa, 5d. to 8d. per day, do, and
without lodgings ; Tuscany, td. per aaj,win
tint ifhpr "
Saxony. "In 1837 a man employed in his
,own loom working very diligently from Mon
day morning to Saturday mgni, irom o ocioch.
.-in rh mominff until dusk, and even at times
with a lamp, his wife assisting him in finishing
nd taking him the work, could not possibly
earn more than 20 groschen (about 60 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 SI weekly."
These are facts which speak for themselves
This is th doctrine of James Buchanan, in
1840. Ten cents ia about the average stand
ard of European labor. And it is to this
standard he wished ours to be reduced. How
Ha von lib it x- hnnst laboring men ot
- - -,
Pennsylvania ?
A printer out West, whose first son happen
ed to be a very short, fat little fellow, named
fijp BreTjer Fuljfaced Jones.
Pct This axd That Together. On Satnr-
day week' fully
three-fourths of the Irishmen
at work an the Louisville and Portland Canal
were discharged. On Monday and Tnesday
few or uone of them could be found in Louis
ville ; but the vote of Floyd county, Indiana,
just opposite over the river, was increased by
about the number of dischaiged Irish.
Hon. Thomas F. Marshall, of Kentucky, de
livered a speech in Louisville, on the 18th inst,
in which he recommends a union of the Fre
mont and Fillmore men where it was necessa
ry, to beat Buchanan.
Married On tho 23d inst.. by the Rev. S.
M. Cooper, Mr. Alexander Irwix to MissE
lizabeth Leosard, both of Clearfield county.

gage in this business, which is easy, pleasant, and
very profitable, at a small cost. . There is positive

THE GRAND EXTERNAL REMEDY.
BY the aid of a microscope, we see millions of
little openings on the surface of our bodies.
Through these this Ointment, when rubbed on the
skin, is carried to any organ or inward part. Dis
eases of the Kidneys, disorders of the Liver, affec
tions of the Heart, inflammation of the Lungs.
Asthmas, Coughs and Colds, are by its means ef
fectually cured. Every housewife knows that salt
passes freely through bone or meat of any thick
ness. This healing Ointment far more rendily
penetrates through any bone or fleshy part of the
living body, curing the most dangerous inward
complaints, that cannot be reached by other means.
(ERYSIPELAS. SALT RHEUM AND SCORBUTIC
HUMORS.
No remedy has ever done so much for the cure
of diseases of the skin, whatever form they may
assume, as this Ointment. No case of Salt Rheuin.
Scurvy, Sore Heads, Scrofula or Erysipelas, can
long withstand its influence. The inventor has
travelled over many parts of the g4obe, visiting
the principal hospitals, dispensing this Ointment.
L'ivintr advice as to its application, and has thus
been the means of restoring countless number to

SORE LEGS, SORE BREASTS. WOUNDS AND
ULCERS.
Some of the most scientific surgeons now rely
solely on the use of this wonderful Ointment, when
having to cope with the worst cases of sores, ulcers
wounds, glandular swellings, and tumors. Profes
sor Holloway has, by command of the Allied gov
ernments, dispatched to the hospitals of the East,
large shipments of this Ointment, to be used an
der the direction of the Medical staff, in the worst
eases of wounds. It will cure any ulcer, glandu
lar swelling, stiffness-or contraction of the joints,
even of 20 years' standing.
PILES AND FISTULAS.
These and other similar distressing complaints
can be effectually cured if the Ointment be well
rubbed in over the parts affected, and by otherwise
following the printed directions around each pot
Both the Ointment and the Pilh should be used
in the following cases :
Bunions, Mercurial Eruptions, Swelled Glands,
Burns, Chapped Hands, Stiff Joints,
Chilblains, Rheumatism, Ulcers,
Fistulas, Salt Rheum, Venerial Sore,
Gout, Skin Diseases, Sore Legs,
