The New York Tribune will com
mence, on or about June Ist, the
publi
cation in weekly chapters of a treatise
by its Editor on Political Economy, de
signed more especially to elucidate and
defend the policy of. Protection to Home
Industry. He expects to- bring the
work within the cOmpass of twenty to
twenty-five chapters of , th •C , o or 'four
columns each, and to treat the subject
with such simplicity and directness
thatlew can read these essays without
at least realizing. that the Protective
policy is either grOssly misunderstood
or t'deliberately misrepresented by the
champions of Free Trade. The public
shall, at all events, realize that we, who
stand for Protection, habitually read
and try to comprehend our adversaries,
while they ignore our writings and
grossly caricature our arguments.
These essays will ultimately be prin
ted together ; but; in view of the ef
forts of the Free Traders to forestall
opinion and try to wrest a verdict from
a public which has not heard the case
argued, we ask the friends of Protec
tion to aid us in giving these essays, as
they originally fall from the press, a
general diffusion.
The Free Trade Leagime, organized in
this city, by and io the_ interests of
foreign manufacturers, is laboring as
siduously through newspapers which it
controls, and by the distribution of
tracts and pamphlets, to destroy the
TarUr and surrender our markets to the
importers of foreign manufactured
goods. Their efibrts can best be coun
teracted by the dissemination of jour
nals intelligently and Continuously de
voted to the protection of American
labor and the fostering of American in
terests. •
We shall print more than Two Hun- 1
tired Thousand copies of each• in our'
regular editions; but we hope they will
receive a still wider disSemination thro'
the formation of new clubs (which we

We believe that it will be for the in
,terest of every establishment in the
country,_of whatever nature, to see to
it that each' workman is supplied
k tvith
The Tribune during time coming year.—
The question of Protection to Home in
dustry is soon to be all absorbing, and
it Is of the utmost importance that
every voter shall be \All informed on
the subject.
Whoever would have these essays
from the outset must transmit their or
ders by the Ist of June.
The Weekly Tribune of June 2 will,
contain the first chapter.

wELLSBORO, PENN'A
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1869
1
At this writing the Old and New
School Rresbyterian Churches are in
general session in tha city of New York.
The question of union is being con sid
ered with a fair prospect of succeeding.
Dr. J. D. Mitchell •and Hon. H. W.
Williams, of this village are delegates
from this county.
LATER. • The union of the two organ
izations wits effected on Thursday, the
vote in the New School being unanim
ous, and but ten - dissenting votes in the
Old. A most sensible conclusion.
Mr. D. V. STEDGE has commenced
the publication of the East Bradford
Advocate, weekly, at Rome, Pa. It is
a very neat sheet and evinces ability
and experience in its management. It
is to be devoted to the interests of East
ern Bradford, without reference to par
ty or sect. The paper has our good
wishes.
The Corning Journal mentions the
arrest of an - -ex-deputy Sheriff from a
neighboring town, for drunkenness.
We suppose that the offender procured
his own arrest as a preliminary step to
his election to the office of sheriff next
fall. Such an incident must commend
him to 'the favorable consideration of
the Christian public.
Seveijal correspondents in the Elnzira
Advertiser are expending a deal of pow
der upon the alleged violation of the
Sabbath in the decoration of the Sol
diers' graves on Sunday. There is an
old book in which we read much about
what was said and done by a sect of the
Jews touching the acts and teachings
of The Great Iconoclast upon Satur
days. We sympathize with the reply
of the .11Iaster.on that occasion, and
don't think m i uch of the Pharises either
of that age or his.
It is now tolerably certain that such
of our Democratic cotenworaries as
have expressed their great desire to
fight the Gubernatorial contest with
GLARY as their antagonist., will have
that desire gratified. As the delegates
are elected we see little or no opposition
to Geary's renomination, and it now
promises to be a renomination by ac
claim. That is what it should be. If
the rebels beat him at the polls it will
be what they never did in the field.—
Come cm-:- You shall have tt i lively time.
Shall we have a war with Denmark ?
The cable brings the suggestivo nowF,
that the refOal of the United States to,
rntify tho tvccll,7
island of St. Thomas " causes much
irritation in Copenhagen." All good
people must hope for•the pacification
of Copenhagen. Denmark is justified
in her irritation at the failure,to sell the
home of earthquakes. Let us have a
war with Deninark by all means. Af
ter that, let - us hitch to England and
tow that tight little island over to Cape
Cud:
BRITISH ALLIES
Withmit any remarkable effort of
memory we can remember when hatred
of Britain constituted the,hulk of the
Democratic party. " Your d'ad was a
Federal !"—were the sharpest accusa
tion one man could make-against an
other. Sympathy with England, even
when demanded by justice in making
common t cause, with civilization, was
tabooed in Democratic circles less than
fifteen years ago. •
Time and circumstance have chang
all that. 'One who reads the papers of
that party nowadays, in the light of the
blazing war-cry---" Fifty-four-forty, or
fight!"—finds it not easy to restrain a
smile at the work of the whirligig of
time. Who does not recollect that de
lightful specimen of alliteration ? It
was the grand tocsin of the Democratic
party in its brief day, and thousands
believed it meant all it expressed. There
were, really, fools enough then to be
lieve that unless Great Britain permit
ted us to set our stakes on the line of
54 0 40' IsT`., war was inevitable. No
doubt the fact that the line at last set
tled on about the 49th parallel is still
unknOwn to the bulk of Democratic
voters. It was only a few miles wide
by many more hundreds of miles long
that we gave off rather than
,appeal to
the sword. But if ever la party con
tracted to blow England out of water it
was the Democratic party and if ever a
party sang small', it, was that party, in
the end.
A due regard for hunian recollection,
and a proper respect for history, would
presumably, tend to check 'the criti
cisms of any actor in such a farce. But
we have not yet to leattn that the blood
of the Bourbons courses in the veins of
the Democratic - leaderg. They learn
nothing, remember nothing, are ashani
ed of nothing. The fact that they won
a Presidential contest by virtue of the
cry which aroused hatred to Britain in
the hearts of the people seems to have
passed out of mind.
The Democratic press now turns its
attention to abuse of Mr. Sumner_ His
speech touchinK\ the relations of Mb
two couutires growing out of the con
duct of British citizens during the late
war stirred up our British cousins to
unseemly remarks. But if the dose was
unpleasant to them, it had this com
pensation : It was a powerful developer
of sympathy for the enraged • lion. It
does not surprise us to read the passion
ate denunciations of Mr. Sumner which
appear• in all the Democratic papers.
Strange to say, however, their strictures
do' not relate to deprecation of any
thing in Mr. Sumner's speech calculat
ed precipitate a war between the two
nations. His offence is that he holds
England to be an offender against the
peace, dignity, and commerce of the
United Sttttes. England, if we• may
believe the o patriotic papers, didnoth
ink out of the Way in permitting Con
federate pirates to relit in 'her colonial
pCiirts. It wits no crime on the part of
the British authorities to permit the
the Lairds to build vessels to be used in
destroying ourmerchantservice. This,
we , are passionately assured by the
Democratic press r was in perfect accor
dance with the laws of nations.
Let:that go. We do not forget, nor
do we intend the readers of this paper
shall forget, that in the darkest hours
of the war, certain leaders of that par
ty besought Lord Lyons, the British
Plenipo, to procure the interference of
Britain as a mediator between the Unit
ed States and the rebels in arms. Hav
ing urged the South to revolt, these po
litical rakes despaired of its success in
the field, and so counseled with the
hereditary enemies of the republic. It
is a part of history, in which Lord Ly
ons is a witness, that Wesel Democratic
leaders besought Britain to interfere
and settle the difficulty. ,Britian hue
no sympathy with the Government
then—a fact which disclosed 'her par
tisanship, and of course unfitted her
for impartial mediation. In common
with the friends of freedom every
where, we hold that the Government
was right and the rebels wrong. The
latter made war, ostensibly, in defence
of an institution which was never de
fended by a Christian man or woman.
England did not sympathize with the
cause of the South; she only regarded
a hoped-for result—the destruction of
the Republic. Her aristocrats saw in
rebellion a possible failure of the re
public. Such au event promised tech
nical nobility another generation or
two of life. For this reason toryJEng
land espoused " the cause of the South
against the Federal Government, and
that espousal permitted, nay, connived
at, the fitting out of pirates to cruise
against our merchant marine.
This is the case stated. In the light
of this explanation the present tone of
the Democratic press is significant, as
showing, that all through the war the
Democratic leaders were in complete
accord with the tory lords of Britain,
and with the purpose of the South. It
fully accounts for many things • plain
enough to some always, but difficult to
illustrate. To-day, the Democratic lea
ders sympathize, not with the United
Stites, and not with our ruined ship
owners, but with England, and British
cdinnierce.
There is not a particle of bluster in
Mr. Sumner's speech.. Rather it is'one
of the most candid of all his efforts.. It
-is very able—abler than we supposed it
to . be before reading. There is not a
sentence_in it which appeals to preju
dice or passion. It is cal m, almost cold.
It is an indictment with the corners
rounded off. We do not blame the
English for losing temper ; for if the
wickedness of British tories and the
treason of American Democrats was
ever made plain Mr. Sumner has so
made if. The Democratic press is bon
sistent with itself—we admit that. lt

Chicago is up to nearly everything,
from a big tunnel to unmprrying peo
ple at the rate of four a minute. Its
latest feat was accomplished by the
young Men's Christian Association,
which passed a resolution that women
should not be allowed to become mem
bers of the Associatibn. If the object
of that body is all embraced in the
name it works under, the resolution
cannot be considered inappropriate;
but l if its object is the dissemination of
Christianity, then we are at a loss to
know - why women should be left out in
the cold. Perhaps its religion corres
ponds to that of the Association in
Washington during the first years of
the war. No man who would not as
sent to the doctrine that Slavery was
divinely instituted could go toward
heaven by way of its doors. A few
years of war wiped out that rank weed
of atheism, however.
Three months of Grant as President
only serve to compliment the judgment
and foresight of the people who placed
him at the head of the republic. He
tias succeeded in drawing the abusive
"are of all the hacks and squirts of pol
iticians, and pays no mere attention to
the volleys of bad English sent at him
than he did to the leaden_ rain and iron
hail of the rebel hosts.
Three months of Grant constrain us
to ask‘ for three months more of him ;
and several 'months more—say forty
five—beside. During the first month
of his administration the debt was re
iduced $2,915,320. During the second
Month the reduction was $6,399,000.
The reduction for May is said to be
about $7,000,000. In all, over $16,000,000.
Nothing out of the -ordinary course
happening, it is not - Very risky to pre
dict that by March 4, 1870, the debt
will be $100,000,000 less than it was
when he took the reins.
The State Guard strongly animad
verts upon the disappearance of a bill
to prevent the publication of obscene
advertisements, after its passage in both
Houses. IL states that the bill never
reached the Governor, and that he
wants it. This is a serious charge
against the commmttee in charge of
compared bills, and we hope to see it
brought home to the offenders. It is
about time that the publication of ad
vertisements of nostrums to procure ab
ortion was prohibited.under severe pen-
Where is the bill, and who sup
pressled it? Let us have an answer.
