A Few Extracts From a Speech by tbe Late Peter Coopex-. Once more, in 1846, however, did the serpent—properly represented by British free traders—make his way into Paradi e, and now a dozen years elapsed, in the course of which, notwithstanding the discovery of California mines, money commanded a rate of interest higher, as I believe, than had ever been known in tbe country for so long a period of time. British iron and cloth came in and gold went out, and with each succ. eding day the dependence of our farmers on foreign markets became more complete. With 1857 came the culmination of the system, merchants and manufacturers being ruined, banks being compelled to suspend payments, and the Treasury be ing reduced to a condition of bankruptcy, nearly approaching that which had existed at the close of the free trade periods com mencing in 1817 and 1834. In the three years that followed labor was everywhere in excess; wages were l o w ; immigration fell below the point at which it had stood twenty years before; the home market for food diminished; and the foreign one proved so utterly worthless that the whole export to all manufacturing nations of Europe, as I have already stated, amounted to but a little more than $10,- 000,000. COUNTERFEITING A BAKING POW- The public is too well informed as to the danger from alum baking powders to need any caution against, using them. It is, mvertheless, a fact that many of our most prudent and careful house keepers are, without knowing it, using these deleterious articles daily, and from them preparing for their families food which, were they aware of its nature, they would not offer to a beggar. Baking powders made from burnt alum cost less than four cents a pound. When these can be worked off in place of the Royal Baking Powder, and sold for forty or fifty cents a pound, there are many manufacturers and dealers sufficiently imscrupnlous to do it. A favorite method of selling these poisonous alum baking powders is by placing them in an empty Royal Baking Powder can and weighing them out in small quantities when the Royal Baking Powder is called for by customers. The pocer, i f questioned, claims that he buys in large packages at a lower rate, and is thus able to sell below the price of the goods in small cans, All baking powders sold in this way are entitled to suspicion. Analyses of many of them have been made with a view to a prosecution, and in all cases they have been found largely adulterated and generally made from poisonous burnt alum. This is selling counterfeit goods, and is, of course an offence against the law. We are glad to know that the Royal Baking Powder Com pany have taken the matter in hand, and are acting in a way that will protect the public from the swindle. The ^ e s t protection from this fraud is for the house keeper to buy the baking powder of the brand she wishes in the original unbroken package, looking care fully to see that the label has not been tampered with. The Royal Baking Pow der Company announce, what is well known, that their goods are packed for the convenience of consumers in cans of various sizes, but are never sold in bulk, by the barrel or loose by weight or meas ure. The cans are securely sealed with the company's trade mark label, and the weight of each package stamped on cover. Any baking powder being peddled out by weight under the name o f Royal they de nounce as bogus and to be avoided. Consumers should bear these facts in mind if they do not wish to have imposed upon them the poisonous alum stuff that is being profusely distributed throughout the country under the name of baking powder. If, however, they buy the Royal in cans with unbroken labels, they are always sure of using a baking powder perfectly pure and wholesome, and of the highest test, strength and efficiency.

Arranging for the Celebration of Child ren’s Day—EBusiness Changes. N abeowsbueg , N. T ., May 31.—The members of our M. E. church Sunday school are making all suitable provisions for the proper celebration of Children’s Day, occuring this year upon the 10th of June. This distinctive feature o f the M. E. church for the benefit of the Educational fund isi productive of much good. The children will enjoy it very much, and the program of exercises is a meritorious one this year. Rev. J. B. Stone, the pastor o f the M. E. church, is a young man and has vim and go-ahead in him, and we shall be disappointed if much good is not done here in church matters. Our day school children are anticipat ing a grand picnic next month. In March last they gave an entertainment to raise the funds necessary for this picnic, and a good time will be provided for. Daring the past two years these children have raised money sufficient to buy an organ for the school room, also charts and mottoes, and have the school room very pleasantly and beautifully decorated ; an enjoyable place for them. The firm of Weaver & Uch, proprietors of the Annex house, is dissolved and Weaver will run the house alone. Mr. Uch will go to some other place and en gage in other business. J. G. Gutheil, who had a saloon and cigar box manufactory, has discontinued his saloon, sold his cigar box manufactory to Esquire Maybe, and has taken the Nar- rowsburg house to become its landlord. He will keep a good hotel. We wish him success, Adam Fiedler, formerly foreman in J. Engleman’s cigar manufactory, has started a cigar manufactory on his own hook. As he thoroughly understands the business, he will no doubt make only first class ci gars, and will be successful. We advise all to give him a trial. 0. H.

A SUPERIOR TRAINED NURSE. In these progressive days, no one of in telligence will venture to doubt the efficacy of massage in the relief and cure of many forms of disease, or in the equal if not paramount value of the many hy gienic uses of water. These are now conceded by practitioners of all classes and would be more generally used by them, if those in care o f patients knew how to administer them. They are of especial value in acute diseases such as fevers, and it would be hard to over estimate their value in many forms of chronic disease—notably o f liver difficulties and minor disorders resulting from that one great cause. T he U nion takes pleasure in calling attention to tbe card of Miss Olive Bloom, elsewhere In this issue, who has fitted herself for this work at one of the best institutions in the country, and whose services may be secured by those who need them.

A Slight Increase in M em b ers-Election of Officers To-d y. The redistricting of the Methodist Gen eral Conference as offered yesterday, gives fourteen districts with 467 delegates. The changes that will be made will not make it less numerous than the present con ference, wMch has 463 members. The election of officers begins to-day. Five bishops will then be chosen, book agents in New York and Cincinnati, sec retaries o f societies and editors o f eleven church papers. The greatest personal in terest centers on the election to the Epis copacy, but the publication of the church’s books and the control of the chvurch press is more important in a party sense. The conference adjourned in the midst of a discussion of the appointment of a missionary bishop to India. The man is already practically selected by the Indian conferences. It is Rev. Dr. J. M. Tho- bum o f Bengal. A Young Men’s Republican Campaign Club of the town of Deerpark will be organized Thursday evening, May 24fch, at Penney’s Union House.

A MUCH TRAVELED FLY-WHEEL, During a recent visit to the machine shop of Malven, Gordon & Co., our at tention was called to the engine that had been recently overhauled. We were told that it had been running for 40 years and was as good as any of the more modem engines, and the firm is more than proud of it. It is said the fly-wheel of 35 feet in circumference makes 80 revolutions a minute; and we began to figure. We found that the fly-wheel has traveled about 237 miles a day of 10 hours, or 68100 miles a year, and a grand total o f 3,724.000 in 40 years or about 109 times around the earth. THE LAUREL COTERIE’S LATEST. The Laurel Coterie has planned another entertainment for its members and a limited number of friends.

Nearly ns Great Just now as During the • Bush o f Last W inter and F a ll—Two Thousand Cars D a ily Passing Through Port Jervis. It is said the Erie has now nearly as much business as at any time during the rush of freight last fall and winter. It is done, however, with so little friction that the enormous traffl ? is not so noticeable. This’s owing to the fact, it Is stated, that the work was formerly done by spasms, one day there being a deluge of cars in the Port Jervis yard or at some other point, and the next day there being a great rush of cars out of the blockaded points. Thus i ‘. would alternate, day by N o w , however, the cars are kept mov ing With systematic regularity. No blocks are allowed to occur. The weather last winter was very hard on the railroads, and took away all their profits and cost thousands besides. The average number of cars now passing through this place is about 2,000, and last Sunday 1,034 cars passed eastward, This is a big traffic, and shows how great the business of the country is to-day. RAILROAD NEW S. Item s of Interest from tUe Great Iron Tlioronghfares. The Susqehanna Journal says a petition is being circulated through the shops ask ing for a half holiday. Orders have been issued by the proper authorities to have all the mileposts along the Erie railway moved to the westward a little more than 3,000feet.— Times, Superinteudeut Starr and Road Master Derr say this is not the case. A few mile posts that have been out of place are to be put where they belong, notably the one near Middletown which belongs right in the village, but has been moved 1,000 feet westward. The Erie is laying new steel rails for the mala tracks upon the Narrowsburg section now. The old rails were getting badly worn for the immense amount of traffic which goes over them daily. A small wreck occurred on the Buffalo division near Dalton about noon Sunday. Six cars of a freight train were thrown into the ditch, and the east bound track was blocked for several hours. The wreckers were sent from Hornellsville. PERSONAL. —Mr. A. E.

Opinlong of Correspondents of the “ Mark Lane Express,” the Great London Grain and Tra-ie Journal—A Strong Demand Made for Protection in that Country. From the Mark Lane, London,Express. SIB : The interesting and thoughtful expression of opinion of your correspond ents, show the utter uselessness and sui cidal po’icy of attempting the unmanly act o f impoverishing and ruining our land owners to benefit the foreigner. The question o f reducing rents to a prairie rate is not only folly in the extreme, but sheer madness while a free, unrestricted and un fettered foreign importation exists. Let me ask those who advocate a rent reduction, or no rent at all, are they pre pared to say that rents are too high if 50 a could be made o f wheat and stock realized the old profitable prices. If so, then I agree that rents Should come down, but I think I m ay take it for granted that few if any complaints would be made if old prices were obtained. T h is brings .before US the question why have prices fallen ? It is not because rents are high ; it is not because we cannot produce the quantity produced in years gone by ; such w e k n ow is not the case, our ground is suitable, and oar cultivators willing, if it would only pay. Would to God it would pay, is the anxious expression of many a worn-out, broken-hearted farmer 1 Pay—^yes, pay it did, with interest, before we had this miserable farce of the so-called Free Trade, and pay it Will again when this suicidal mania has passed away. WiU a reduction of rents revive our ' national industries ? Will a reduction of rent make farming profitable while wheat remains at 33s. per qr.? Will the reduc tions of rent make up the yearly loss of British gold paid to the foreigner? Will reduction of rents increase the comforts and resources of our own workmen ? Will the reduction of rents prevent bread rising to a fabulous price in time of war ? And, lastly, will a reduction of rent encourage capitalists to use some of their surplus gold in the better and improved cultiva tion of land at home ? I f the reduction of rents will not do this, I say give up the agitation and adopt the course suggested by Mr. Harris, namely, pro»^ect your in dustries, protect the fruits o f your labor, protect the old homestead, and remember, by so doing, you protect the intercommon wealth. It is folly to put off the evil day by patchiDg up this and that way. Strike manfully as men, strike as Britons, strike hard and straight at the sappiag monster which is taking the life blood from our country, and put an end forever to the so- called free—yes, they call it free—free trade. A just protection will raise pric^, and wages will circulate millions of money at home, will bring back our money to cultivation, will safeguard us from famine in time o f war, will bless us with plenty .and prosperity m time of peace, and last, but not least, it will relieve our local burdens.—TF.
