I have heard men talk of Benjamin
Franklin's pithy maxims as though they
had made his countrymen sordid and
t meanly parsimonious—a nation of misers
and skinflints. I fail to see proof of
this. Our chanties are munificent, not
• t� say ostentatipus—witnesethose evoked
by the desolation of Chicago. During
forte years obiereation in this city, I
haye seldom known a fair, appeal tether
benevolence to pass unheeded. If giving
would extinguish pauperism, 1 think
One Thousand Millions of Dollars Would
.readily be subscribed and paid to achieve
that end. Alas! we all know that alms-
givig would not achieve it—that, after
we Mid raised and disbursed the full'
Billfon, there would be morebeggars and
more suffering from want than there now
are. Bailing out the ocean is a rational
undertaking compared with that of ex-
tinguishing pauperism by alms -giving.
• The greet need Of our age is Manliness
—that spirit of Slf-Respect and Self -
Trust which silently says; : "You may
- " have lelillionse I have_ nothing ; I am
"content with, what -I earn, and do not
" want your Millions until 1 shall have
" fairly earned ' them. 1 do not seek
"your company nor value you one whit
t` more fori your Millions : 1 envy you
"not their. possession;. hate you no
"more than I love you because of your
" wealth ; should you ever need my
" services you can have them by fairly
"paying for them; that done we shall
"stand on a footing of perfect equality,
"as. we do now. If you fancy I will
" cringe and smirk to win your favor,
"when I can find eord-ood to cut at a
"fair price and thereby live incurring no
"obligation, profiting by no patronage
"whatever, that shows that you do not
" know m."
But this spirit is only possible in men
of chastened appetites as well as heoric
sotels. Diogenes in his tub, asking no
• odd.s of Alexander of Macedon, but that
he would no longer interrupt the philos-
opher's share of - the common sunshine,
would have been a pretender and a cheat
had. he pined for the banquets of Apicirts,
the wines of Cyprus and of Scio. He
was the peer of the great conqueror, only
because he had long .ago triumphedeover
the appetites whereby the vast majority
are led captive and enslaved. Alexander,
enthralled by ignoble yet imperious pas-
sim:me-instinctively recognized. liis-maelter
in the cynic -who conamanded everything
because he coveted nothing.
Vainly do we, by invention after inven-
tion, •increase the efficiency of our exer-
tions while we see no limit to our de-
sires. The Sewing Machine trebles the
seamstress's capacity for execution ; so
we cover our dresses all overswith fancy
stitching, and so render theinmorecost-
ly than before. Of what avail is the
Steam -Plow's marvelous efficiency, if the
plowmen deserts the field, insisting that
he will live by sophistry as a lawyer or
by quackery as a doctor? In -vent and

It is asserted that the mechanics only
want to put a fair value on their material
and labor. Now they are very apt to fix
this value just a little too high. Would
they be willing to pay the farmers for
every article of produce just what the
farmers Would. call a fair price if left to
fix that price themselves? I certainly
would not. Now, the mechanics mast
not think that theirs will be the only
combination. If they succeed in carry-
ing it out, we shall soon have plenty
more to checkmate it. We shall have
the millers, butchers, farmers, &c., all
forming combinations and teaching us
what their idea Of ,fair prices for their
commodities are. It is stated that the
farmer does not require any combination
list of prices, that he will find the prices
of produce in the newspapers; but I
would remark that the newspaper market
report and a combination tariff are wide-
ly different things. The market prices
in the newspapers are.only records of the
latest actual transactions between buyers
and sellers. They are not, in many cases,
what the sellers would call fair prices;
neither are they what the buyers would
call fair prices, but only what they
mutually agreed upon.. .
One salt manufacturers tried to fix a
value upon their salt such as no doubt
they considered a fair and reasonable one,
viz,, about $1 65 per barrel, andby com
binine• tried to keep it at that figure.
Thefdicl not succeed, and they were in a
pretty good position to carry it
out. They only accumnlated theus-
ands of barrels in their store-
houses. At last tired of holding it
they offered it et what consumers were
willing to pay. The result was that
they soon converted it into cash, pro-
• bably not at a great profit. lts a goocl
deal has been said on this subject already
I wish to be brief, but as it is an import-
ant subject and one whicb deeply affects
the interests of the community, it is
necessary that it be discussed in order
that right views may be formecl upon it.
One can hardly take up a newspaper but
the eye rests upon "strikes" among
workmen. One time it is the ship
carpenters, then coal miners, next it is
bookbinders, and lately the great Globe
itself would have been annihilated by a
combination of printers if they had been
able fortrinately they were not. Roping

THE MEM CAMPBELL TRIAL.
Excitement ran high during the trial
of Phcebe Campbell for the murder of her
lnAband in Nissouri. 'The Court room
Wes crowded daily; many going long be-
fore the time kof opening the Court so to
be certain of ladmittance. Many ladies
aVailed themselves of the opportunity.
The addresses' of the Counsels on Bides
were lengthy. Mr. Cornih, Counsel for
prisoner, took the brow -beating policy
so natural to himself ; he represented
the officers of the law as blood hounds,
whose only object was to hunt down an
innocent woman. It was unfortunate
for the prisoner that she had. not as her
Counsel a man of some moral standing in
society. The Queen's Counsel, Mr. Mc
Kenzie, gavea masterly address carrying
the entire audienc:veal' him:
The jury were only absent about forty
minutes, and returned. their verdict,
"guilty." The, scene that ensued during
the passing of the sentence by the Judge
was very exciting; the prisoner for the
first time gave way to sobs and tears.
Throughout the trial ste seemed perfect-
ly composed and but little affected at the
recitals of the horrid deed. The comnami-
ity agree that the sentence is a just oue.
Most persons think -that the father
should. be tried for the same offence.
Since file trial the prisoner is quite cabn
and attests her innocence.

A Reply.
To the Editor of the Huron Expositor.
DEAR In answer to " Clodhop-'
per's " hit piece of slang (for I cannot
call it anything else), I would jest state,
in a few words, that I do not wish to
take up your space with abusive lan-
guage ; and that -my friend "Clodhopper"
would make me believe he was born for
the press, and not for the name he has
seen fit to call himself. I, of course, do
not wish to abuse any 'peron through
the public press, but if it is abuse that
Mr. Clodhopper wants, let him meet me
face to face, and I will give him all the
abuse he may require. Yours, &c.,
JOHN CAMPBELL.
whch is still awaiting him, it is feared
that he has met with foul play,

—A rather strange and fatal accident
recently occurred. to a farmer named.
Hay, a resident of the township of.
Downie. In going to the well for water
his feet slipped and he fell backwards on
to one of the pairs which he was carry-
ing, the fastening of the handle of which
pressed against his kidneys, producing
inflammation, and which, despite the
surgical skill applie,d, terminated his
career a few days after the acident.
— The Mitchell Advocate says :—
"We paid. a visit to the workshops of
Messrs. Thomson & Williams the other
day and were surprised to find so many
mowers and. reapers already fitted up as -
are at present in their show room. We
were informed that the demand. for these
implements is already so great that it is
necessary to commence their manufae-
.
ture early, in order to meet the demand.
in time for harvest. Over fifty have al-
ready been disposed of, and as the firm.

FROM THE WEST.
Correspondence of the Huron Expositor.
HENRY CITY, Ill., April 4, 1872.
Perhaps a few notes on a tour "out
West" would not be uninteresting to
some of your readers. I left Seaforth
on the 13th ult., for the State of Mi.
nois. On the way te Sarnia. nothing
very special occurred, only at Widder
Station got a glance of an old and
much esteemed frend, Mr. C. Cavanagh,
latetof Seaforth. I jumped to my feet,
to say, "How do you do ?" but too late,
the train was off. We arrived at Sarnia
about 2 o'clock, and in a few moments
morel was in the land of the Stars and
Stripes. The country between Port
Huron and Detroit is rather poor and
the landscape unattractive. The shades
of night drew on and closed. the outward.
scenery, leaving my mid. busy about
home and friends and loved ones. About
9 o'clock we foriVed. in Detroit, where
we changed cars for Chicago. The most
of this Journey of 284 miles was per
formed through the night, consequently
I have little tie say about it, only my in-
clinations to slumber were interrupted
through the opening and shutting of doors
and the getting off and on of passengers.
As we neared the once great city of
the West, it occurred to me that there.
would be there something worth notic-
ing, but 1 confess that, in my judgment,
no pen can describe Chicago in its pres
ent ruins and give a correct description
of it What a change since I passed
through it seven years ago. As we ap-
proached the terminus, I expected to
see the beautiful Michigan Central De-
pot, but, alas, it is nowhere to be sen.
Here the devouring element had cldne
its ruinous -work.
From -thence took the omnibus to
the Rock Island. Depot, a distance of a
mile and a, half, through 1prt of the

TAXEN ILL.
Rev. Dr, Jeffers while preaching in
the Westeyan Methodist Church, on
Suncley evening last, was taken sudden-
ly ill,' arid compelled to sit down. Rev.
Mr. Latimer, who happened to be pre-
sent, conducted the services.
FUNER.AL SERMON.
On Sabbath afternoon about 1,000 per-
sons gathered in -the City Hall to listen
to a funeral sermon by Rev. S. William-.
son, on the occasion of the sudden des -
cease of two men na-med Fletcher and
Tonkin, who came to -their death by a
collision. on the Port Stanley Railroad.
The services were uuder the auspices of
the Odd Fellows, as both the men were
members of that organization:
CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS.
The Pritaative Methodists are refit-
ting their church, end intend to have -it
in readiness for the coming conference
which meets here in May.
PLEASA.NT ENTERTAINMENT:
A very pleasant entertainment was
held a few evenings ago in Dr. Broad -
foot's Church (Presbyterian), for the
benefit of the Sabbath School. A nice
sum was realized.
BUILDING IN THE CITY.
The building season has commenced,
and mechanics are very busy. The pres-
ent season will probably be the most
prosperous that I,onclon has 'ever had..
Arrangemeuts are being made for build-
ing in every part of the city. London is
pushing ahead rapidly.
The streets are now being thoroughly
cleaned. The weather is fine and warm.
