How cold are thy baths, Apollo ?
Cried the African monarch, the splendid,
As down to his death in the hollow
Dark dungeons of Rome lie descended,
Uncrowned, unthroned, unattended;
How cold are thy baths, Apollo!
How ccld are thy baths, Apollo?
Cried the poet, unknown, unbef‘riended,
As the vision, that lured him to follow,
With the mist and the darkness blended,
And the dream of his life was ended ;
How cold are thy baths, Apollo ?

ENGLAND'S TRADE.
as ENGLISH EXPLANATION or Tun narnns-
SlON—LORD BEACONSFIELD'S acoons’r. '
[Correspondence of the Fall Mail Gazette]
Lord Beaconsfield finds three causes of
the present distress in England :~—First, the
farmers are distressed because there have
been four had harvests and prodigious im-
ports of foreign food; second, the manu-
facturers and traders are distressed because,
while they have produced as many com—
modities as before, they have been able to
sell them for only half the money; and
third, the fundamental and moving cause of
all this mischief is that “as gold is every day
appreciating in value the lower become the
prices." The Premier added impressively
“This is the third cause which most carn—
estly requires the consideration of your
iordships, and which may lead to consequen-
ces which may be of a very serious char-V
neter.” And, again, at the end of the speech
he said it was not impossible that as affairs
developed the country'might require that
some formal investigation should be made
of the causes affecting the price of the pre—
cious metals and the effect which the change
in price has upon the industry of the coun-
try and upon the' continual fall of prices.
But the real canses of the distress are to be
found in directions very different, but in
no degree recondite. There have been four
physical causes, opera' g on the largest
scale and four prolonged periods—namely,
during the last ten years » no fewer than six
had harvests in this country; in France and
other wine growing countries vine diseases.
The Verdict of Facts.
or may. E. s. ATWOOD, SALEM.
“The Chinese must go"—so says Dennis
Kearney and his admirers; so say various
aspirants for political honors; so says not
President Hayes, whose emphatic veto of in-
iquitous legislation :stars his administration
with .a righteous exercise of power, which
commends itself to the admiration of all
good men.
There is a right and a wrong to this Chi-
nese question; which is which? Let facts
answer. ,
Three treaties have been negotiated be
tween the United States and-China. The
first, in 1844, contained thirty-four articles
securing rights and privileges to Americans,
but nothing to the Chinese. Those provisions
have been scrupulously observed. The sec-
ond was concluded in June, 1858; and, in
November following, an additional “conven-
tion for the regulation of trade" was accepted.
The third, known as" the “Burlingame
Treat y,” was negotiated in 1858, and was re-
ceived throughout the country, and especially
in San Francisco, 'with the most extravagant
demonstrations of approval. Certain speci-
fications of that treaty are worthy of note.
Article V, recognizes the “inherent and
inalienable right of man to change his home
and his allegiance, and also the mutual ad-
vantage of the free immigration and emigra-
tion from one country to the other, for the
purposes of curiosity or trade, or as perma-
nent residents."
Article VI, declares that “Chinese subjects
visiting or residing in the United States shall
enjoy the same privileges, etc , as the citizens
of the most favored nation'.”
Article VII, provides that “Chinese sub-
jects shall enjoy all the privileges of the
public. educational institutions under the
control ’of the United States, which are
enjdyed‘by the citizens of the most favored
nation.” _
Against these wise and righteous provisions
'the turbulent element on the Pacific coast,
and the hungry politicians in Congress have
arrayed themselves. Whfl force is there in
the arguments by which they justify their
position? I '
We are being overrun by Chinese immigrants.
The Mongolian tide has been rolling in upon
our coast for more than ten years, and the
Christianity. The race-antagonism of which
so much is made is a fiction, at least so far as
the Chinese are concerned. The real animus
of the crusade against the Chinese is easily
discoverable.
1. It originated in the enmity of other im-
migrants who could hot compete with- them
in industry andintegrity.
2. _It has been heated for sectarian purpo-
ses by an ccclesiasticism that has little power
over the Chinese.
3. The electoral vote of California is at
stake, and the “rouglis” who control it must
be conciliated. '
The foreign population, the church of
Rome, the politicians—against this tripple
alliance, the Christianity of the land is called
to array itself. Let it stand firm—opposing
facts to declamation.—Congregationalist.

Taxation in New York.
We are indebted to the politeness of Hon.
James A. Briggs. one of the assessors of the
State of New York, for a copy of the annual
report of that board for 1879. It is filled
with very novel and interesting statistics,
which has entailed the loss of scores of Registers of.the “Six Companies,” and the .WhiCh can befound nowhere else convenient‘

ished agriculture. To these must be added
four political and military causes—namely,
the Franco—German war, which for two
years div.~rted from production 40,000 000
of peopl, and disordered in 1871-3 all the
economy of demand and supply; the\ mil-
lions of armed men in Germany and
France; the apprehensions of other wars
which are still with us. Here are eight
causes of agricultural-and commercial dis.
tress, all potent and powerful. But the list
is by no means exhausted. Between 1868
and 1873 there were built in the United
States, by means mostly reckless and scand-
alous, nearly thirty thousand miles of railway
~carrying railway facilities so far beyond
the paying demand that during theycars
1874-78 the cost of conveyance for grain and
provisions from the extreme West to New
York had fallen to merely nominal rates;
and these nominal rates, aided by acom-
petition almost as keen among the Atlantic
steam companies as among American rail-
ways, have brought supplies of food of all
sorts, which otherwise could never have left
their place of origin.
Between the years 1868 and 1875 this
country lost by loans to foreign countries
more than two hundred millioas sterling,
no small part of which had been applied in
the various stimulus of trade demands
within the United Kingdom, the results of
which were wholly wasted. Since 1872—72
we have passed through a complete revoj
lution in our iron and coal industries. The
number of furnaces for the production of
pig iron increased in 1873 -74 from 876 to
959. There were in 1878 only 454 or about
half, at work. In South Staffordshire, in
1878, only 34 blast furnaces out of 148 were
at work; in North and South Wales only
50 out of 179. Why? Because the iron
trade is removing from these exhausted
districts to Cleveland and Lincolnshire? But
an “exhausted district" means the loss of
millions of capital. Between 1871 and 1873
the number of collieries at work in the
United Kingdom advanced from 3,100 to
3.627, and at the end" of 1875 had still fur—
ther advanced to 4,501. In the three years,
1875, 1876, 1877 ; no fewer than 290 of these
collieries failed; and in 1877 -78 the collapse
was still more rapid. In the four years,
1871 to 1875, the number of persons en-
gaged in coal mines rose from 351,000 to
537,000—an extension ’of employment rapid
and violent almost beyond example; and
at present we are struggling to _restore the
wholesome equilibrium which we lost éight
years ago. The substitution of steel for
_ iron by the Bessemer process, and still more
by the elimination of phosphorus from the
Cleveland ores (now positively accomplish-
ed) is a revolution as great as followed upon
the inventions of Crompton and Arkwright.
It means, most probably. the total decay
of the iron trade of North and South Wales,
of Scotland and of a large part of Stafford-
shire. In the end it will largely benefit
this country, but the transition is full of
sufiering.
The bad bankruptcy law has for the lee
ten years cost the country mere than twenty
millions a year in bad debts, and a far larger
sum by the encouragement given to dishon~
est and reckless trading. A vicious and
dangerous development of banking credit
has enableda race of swindlers like Collie
and the gigantic debtors of the City of
Glasgow Bank to ruin the Eastern trade
and to drive honest men into poverty. Add
to all this that since 1871 the general body
of the working classes have set themselves
resolutely to raise {the cost of production by
limiting the hours of work, not only for
men, but also—which is far more serious
—-for machines, and by giving less labor for
higher wages, and we arrive :at a catalogue
of causes painfully sufficient to account for
all the facts of the distress; And it is this
catalogue of causes which is the specific
answer to the inquiry raised in the House
of Lords, and it is this specific anSWer
which the Prime Minister ought to have
given, instead of the fanciful fable that
he did give. The mistake is all the more
tobe regretted because there is ample
scope for the reflections, and in various
ways ample necessity for the intervention of
a statesman in the long array of causes
which have really led to the present industrial
crisis. .
From what inquiries we have made in dif-
ferent quarters, we should infer that business
in this city is slowly improving. [In one
important retail trade, bustness was never
better than it is today. One of our well
knoWn manufacturing (Establishments is over

and Europe, as well as from different States

parts of California, 30,000; Nevada, Idaho,
Montana, Utah, and Oregon, 70,000; other
parts of the country, a few thousand; largest
aggregate, 150,000. Average annual increase
from 1352 to 1876,1ess than 10,000. Average

land. There is room for a few more without
crowding. / '
The imngratlon is not voluntary. The
"Six Companies" expressly deny the state
ment. Their business is of another sort.
The Chinese, when emigrating in consider-
able numbers from one city to another, form
a mutual aid society. The officers are elected.
Taxes are imposed to secure a building for
headquarters, membership is voluntary.
Differences among the members are settled
by the oflicers. This is the general character
of the famous “Six Companies." Each rep-
resents a certain district in China, and claims
the emigrants from that district as members.
Each name is enrolled immediately» upon ar-
rival. The companies have aided the Dam-—
-and cared for the’siék. Thbir houses afford
shelter for immigrants “in transitu.” The to horse racing and to see the circus and
only power they claim, is to prevent the re-
turn to their native land without a “permit”
bearing the company's stamp,an arrangement
which has been effected by contract with the
Pacific Mail Steamers. This “permit" can
always be obtained, by the settlement of
claims which creditors'have left with the
company for collection. and an additional-
payment of five dollars for the necessary
papers. The companies are not engaged in
the “coolic” business. They indignantly re-
pudiate the charge, and there is no sufficient
evidence to invalidate their statement.
The income of Chinese labor in America re—
verts to China, and subtracts so much from
the material wealth of the country. In San
Francisco alone the annual revenue from the
Chinese for taxes and licenses is $409,000
The imports on rice,mostly consumed by the
Chinese, are over $1,000,000 per annum;
duty on oil and opium and other collections
bring the aggregate up to $2,000,000. Ac-
cording to official data the Chinese contribute
to the revenues of the State $15,000,000; The
average amount of earnings annually sent to
China is $750,000, while, for the bare expen-
ses of living, they pay here $6,000,000. The
drainage complained of'has been so immense
that the surveyor general estimates that Cali-
fornia is nearly $300,000,000 richer in conse-
quence of it. .
The Chinese work cheap, and so depreciate
the price of labor. That the enormous wage
rate once paid is undoubtedly true. It is
also true that the most\menial labor com-
mands on the Pacific Coast, to,day, a higher
price than itrcceives in New England,where
there is no competing class of low-paid
workmen.
The Chinese are a demoralizing element in
the population—so say white souled Kearney ,
and the pious politicians. It is admitted
that, as a rule, they are as honest as the
average. It is beyondlquestion that they are
apt to learn, and, having learned,are skillful.
The leaders among them are eminent for fin
nancial integrity. The laboring classes herd
together somewhat closely and promiscously;
but there are such things as tenement houses
in‘ Boston and New York. The Chinese
frequent opium shops; how much better are
the liquor saloons of the land? Thai Chinese
women ‘zome into the country for evil pur-
poses is certain; but the “Six Companies”
have (fie their utmost to yo ldllt it, and
Americans have brought them back to shore
with a writ of habeas corpus, when the com-
panies had secured their reshipment to China.
The evil is great, but its proportions have
been exaggerated. In the whole United
States there are but 5,000 Chinese women,
who, in the various relations of secondary
wife, coucubine and street walker are an
offense to good morals; while in Paris, ac-
cording to Duchatelet, there are 8,000 regis-
teredoutcasts—not a moiety of the vicious;
and, in Christian London, according to the
accurate statistics of Greenwood, there are
within the metropolitan police district some
9,000 of the shamelessly abandoned. Amer-
ica has its own huge load of what is smoothly
called the “social evil." Beyond question
this feature of Mongolian life is repulsive to
the last degree; but the Chinese in America
are not to be stigmatized as pioneers along
the untraveled paths of corruption.
The Chinese cannot be assimilated. Whose
fault is it? There is no provision in the
treaty for their naturalization, and eminent
senators assert that their request for citizen-
ship must be denied, on the ground of ille-
gality. They geem to value the higher
phases of our civilization. There are 200
Chinese students in thecolleges and prepara-
tory institutions of the country. They ask
for admission to the educational privileges of
California, but though the school fund'is de-
rived from the sale of public lands given by
the United States for that purpose, and
though the Chinese themselves pay $42,000
school tax, no Mongolian child can be enroll-
ed as a pupil ; '3,000 are on the rolls of the
the best authority some 5,000 have embraced
evening mission schools, the same number
are in the Sabbath schools, and according to
they cease to be a burden. They have de—
creased from 1873 to 1878 from $4.31 per
capita to $1.68.
The product and consumption of the egg
is presented in a very interesting way. For
instance, the value of eggs consumed in the
St. Nicholas Hotel, in the city of New York,
in one year was over $37,000. The egg
traffic in this country is rated at $150,000,—
000 per annum. The city of New York
alone receives eggs to the value of $8,000,—
000. Philadelphia is credited with con-
suming 80,000 dozen eggs daily. The egg
trade of Boston for 1878 is placed at 5,515,-
652 dozen. One Boston firm handled some
600,000 dozen eggs-last year. In speaking
of agriculture in the State of New York, the
questions whether it pays to cultivate landin
that State and whether farming is “played
out” are considered, attended with the state-
ment that if the farmers make a correct
return to the census enumerators it does pay.
It is contended that farming everywhere “is
more in the man thau'in the land." A man

Of the fprty—thr’ee democratic members of
the United States Senate, the South furnishes
thirty and the rest of the country thirteen.
In distributing the chairman'ships of the
twenty-nine regular Senate committees, the
caucus committee gave twenty to the South
and nine to the rest of the country. So far as
the Senate is concerned, therefore, the South
will, in the words of Mr. Blackburn, “be
charged with the shaping of the legislation of
the land.” In other words, the nominal repre-
sentatives of 14,000,000 of people will control
the legislation of 40,000,000; or to put the
case more exactly, the actual representatives
of a population of decidedly less than 10,000,
000 of southern whites—the four and a half
million of blacks in the South not being rep-
resented in the majority of the'Sen'ate at all——
will shape for some years to come the law-
making of the people of the United States.
Political theorists are much addicted to talk
about the “brute force of the majority ;”
would it not be well to have some exhaustive
discussion of the not entirely new phenome-
non -of the brute force.of the minority ?—

A new composition of iron and steel is thus
described: A cast iron mould is divided into
two sections by means of a transom plate of
thin sheet iron. The two metals are then
poured into their respective compartments.
The sheet iron partition prevents the mixture
of the metals and facilitates the, welding by
itself being brought into fusion. It is claim-
ed that the product is well adapted for safes,
and that it resists drills.

The Colored Exodus Westward.

that thousands of their late neighbors are

of so many laborers at this season of the

interest in Mississippi and Louisiana, as

credit is customary, so firmly fixed that it

There is a practical joke which is quite a
favorite with Parisian students. Fixing
upon some thoroughfare where a bridge
crosses the Seine, two of them take their
station, the first on one side of the liver,
the second on the other. Looking care-
fully around, they proceed to take meas-
urements with cords and surveyors’ instru-
ments, until on each side quite a crowd has
gathered. Next, one of the students se-
lects some verdant youth who happens to
be passing, and politely asks, “Would you
kindly hold this cord, sir ? ' There is going
to be a Government survey. Please retain
the cord till the official comes, on no ac-
count dropping it for an instant, as the
measurement would thus be lost.” He then
gives the other end to a second innocent
young man, and the way is thus effectually
blocked. Meanwhile his comrade across the
bridge has repeated the same performance
Caleches, carriages. drays, all sorts of ve-
hicles, with throngs of foot passengers, have
collected, who are gravely told that they
must wait, as a Government survey is in
progress. By this time the students, of
course, have decamped, leaving the unlucky
countrymen to mange the .ilnpatient crowd
- as best they can. The afiair usually ends
in the summoning of a detachment of police-
men to drive away these victimized dis-
turbers of the peace. This hoax, though
very often practised,is said to be always suc-
cessful.

WAVERLY, 13., April 30, 1879.
Gentlemen :—I feel it my duty to inform you of
the great benefit I have derived from our Sul-
phur Bitters. l have suffered wrth ca arr-h for
the last ten years, during which time I suffered
with severe billousness and liver cemplaint.
Since 1873 my catarrli grew rapidly worse, so that
my life was despaired of. At that time I weigh-
ed 175 ounds, but grew emaciated so rapidly that
I won; ed only 130. After consulting the most
celebrated physicians in the Western states. and
spending many hundred (tonal-9.1mm which no
relief was obtalmed, I was induced to try your
Sulphur Bitters. Atthis time I had lost all faith
in medicmes, but was surprised to find the relief
1 received fi om the first bottle. After taking six
bottles my headache. vomiting and all the effect
of my billiousness and liver complaint left me.
The Sulphur Bitters reduced the inflammation,
which afi'ected my left eye (so that it would he
closed for severa days) a dischar e of the mat-
ter in my forbead was effectedmn in af‘ew weeks
all signs of my catari-h was gone. .Last Darch,
while on business to Lawrence, Mass., Iconsult-
ed Dr. J. A. Magee, who With Prof Hod es of the
Massachusetts ' Genera! " Hospital, per ormed a
very skiltul operation in removing several pieces
of head bone from my forehead,t e result of my
catarrh. Your Sulphur Bitters causedadischarge
of the matter. and it has now rapidly healed. I
new weigh 155 pounds and consider the Sulphur
Bitters have saved my life.
Yours most grateful! .

_ AGUSTA, Me., Sept. 7, 1878.
:Dear Sirs :—
_ For more than twenty-five years I was a suf-
ferer from Dysplepsia, accompanied with severe
attacks of sick eadache. I have also been troub-
led uith Cankcrln my mouth and stomach. I
‘ave tried a good many kinds of m dicines with
little success. A short time since as request-
ed to try your Sulphur Bitters for Canker, and
have found them allthey have been recommend-
ed to be—a sure cure for that disease. 1 have no
doubt they are also what they are claimed to be
as a cure for Dyspepsia and sick Headache.
Yours respectfully,
CEO. F. HAWES.
, Sulphur Bitters is the medicine for' the Tem-
perance people as it does not contain Alcohol
and is not a stimulant but an invigorator. There
is more virtue in one dose of
DH. KAUFMANN'S ‘
SULPHUR BITTEBS
than in all other Bitters of the day prepared by
irresponsible parties who know nothing er. en 01

ings are suffering from hepatic disorders
and have doubts in relation to the efficacy
of this popular preparanonnve can only
ofl‘er them the simpllc and candid argu-

Al'siimnie'r’s story.
Only this hour, when the daylight is done
And the dark follows after the setting sun.
Only this hour, to weep, and to p“!
Over those words, the doom of yesterdaY-
The amber sun shed hues of gold,
0n the 'reddened leaves and gray tree holes.
While my restless feet scraped a path of brown
’Mid the thick pine needles fluttered down.
On the bank. ’Twas a trysting spot
0f the summer days The blue waves caught
At the foot, the fret of the leaves,
Wavering down to their embraces in foam-
ing caves.
The deepened calm of the sky, shining,
Soft and etherial, met my soul’s mourning
With a bush that was infinite, tender.
Cooling Ike dew griefs passionate wonder.
The hills afar, mist circled, columned high,
These valleys, where life blossoms gaily
under its sky ;Q
The frown of the e esp, the smile of the
bitch,
Threw a stained radiance, round,like light in
a church.
Birds Were singing to summer homes, plain-
tive farewells ;
Gay insects flitted on vine-clad rocks o’er the
fella.
Hush! the birds’ song stilled as the breath
of the dying, ‘ .
And gossamer life ceased in the tranquil air
flying.
Quick and grave came footfalls, as I listened,
Pulses throbbing out a life, in slow heat, an-
swered; ‘
Face to face we stood where the dancing
waves shone, '
And the music of earth and sea blended in
‘ deep monotone.
The cry of a heart sode thro’ this tone, as
I uttered
My question; methought the stillness was
flattered ‘
And startled. “What is this you have writ-
ten, to recall
Your vows, your pledges, that my memory
explains all.”
I
“Are there no shadows my words can con—
Jure
Into shapes of the past,yeu fear not to swear
That you love me, have loved no other ever ?
The riomh your lips took, that day, by the
ver." '
Fate’s sybiline leaves, unrolled to my eyes
and passed,
As his ~wbrds keen and clear cut like an
angry blast.
Still, the waves’ blue sheen mocked my pain:
Still field and wood lay bathed in the golden
gleam.
“You are free; I have not the will nor the
power, ’
'To ban the dead in their graves, or sum’mon
one hour
0f the bitter many that bound me, a girl,
alone.
Chained by others, to a falsehood, that was
never my own."
The words died in a sob, but my eyes un-
shrinking
Defied his asking gazeyet stern and unsmiling
Turning to the sunset rays on bill, forest and
water,

And thick rolled the shadows with a ghostly

The Auction Block Again—Who
Bids? ‘
Uncut San: .
“Who bids? Again the blacks are up at auc-
tion! '
The man and babe and mother—who's the
bidder ?
Peremptory—without regard to section—
Impartial—’tis our purpose to consider
With favor the first guarantee that comes,
Of fair play, freedom,peacc and happy homes!
“Ah gentlemen! This is a happy session!
Come, Mississippi, Kansas-and Kentucky,
Now speak up! Give us lively competition;
The buyer of this labor will be lucky!
Bid sharp! This is the crisis of your fate,
For work is wealth and underlies the State." "
KENTUCKY:
“I hid—a home for every pickaninny
Whose dad or mam’ll earn it by the workin';
O, fer the times we bed in Ole Virginny
Wen nigs was nigs, an’ white folks did the
shirkin‘!
_I’m good at shirkin’, an’ I can’tagree
Thet any nigger is ez good ez me!”
UNCLE SAM:
“Youshear the bid—who goes a trifle better?
Who guarantees the ballot ? Who proposes
To have the spelling-book replace the fetter,
And wreathe this rugged auction-block with
roses ? -
Who offers to protect the‘rights‘ of men,
And turn the slave into the citizen .9”
MISSISSIPPI :
“I’ll make ’em free! The mandate of the
Maker!
Men serve themselves the best, it stands to
reason;
And land that's worth 85 by the acre
I'll rent ’em for $10 by the season.
I’ll let ’em vote. If rifle clubs use force
'And say they sha’n't, why,:then they can’t,
of course”. .1 1
UxonE Saar: ,
“Too late by far! You promise no protection!
You make them free—but merely free to
suffer; ‘
A voice rings hither from another section;
‘Yonr bid is beaten by a better offer!
New raise it, Mississip, or you are flat;
I hear a dozen bids as good as that !' "
Kaxsas:
“I bid !—A home for every man and woman,
A school for every child ;'—-a field to labor;
The guarantee of every right that’s human;
Respect that sees in every man a neighbor;
The richest soil a farmer ever saw,
And equal rights for all before the law !"
chaa Slur:
“Do I hear more? This a happy session!
Come, rally, Mississippi and Kentucky!
One! Two! Now going! Is there campeti—
tion ?
Just going! 0, the buyer will be lucky!
Going! From where the torrid fervor tans
us— ' '
Last call! A—going! going! gone! to Ken—
