Besides, I am not the onlvp .ne to think so; the 'Societe Intercantoiale' have sent a delegate to makt inquiries, and his report perfectly igrees . with mine. Up to this yerj Jay we Jiave believed America tof '.e dependent upon Europe. We liave been mistaken. The Americans will end us their products since we can hot send jthem our own. We ask ourselves whether! tne Americans can man. tain tneir prices; j answer, yes, they can, for if they obtain . a .rood proht on their superior qualitv good. hey can afford to be satisfied with a smaller froht on the lower grades of watches. In America everything is made by machinery; liere we make everything by hand. We i'ount in Switzerland about forty thousand workmen, making on an average each Mr annum 40 watches. In the United jtates the average is 150 watches. Therefore ihe machine produces three and a half to four times more than the workman. It remains for us to solve the situation. But liow can we get out of the corner into which we have been driven? To-day. even with out machines, we can not dispose of the 1, WO.OOO watches which our people can manu ..Cture. liow will it be if we establish ma ;tnes which will thrice increase out production? "We must either diminish the number of our hands and make machines, or! else cling to our system and be resigned tc ee our industry decline. "Gentlemen, I do not pretend to point put '.he remedy. I simply call your attention to rbe evil that is all. It remains for you to lind the cure. However. I believe that ii will be good to do for our mechanicians whai we have done for our watchmakers that is to create schools. Yon must not despair; vou must not desert the held: we must, or the contrary, organiz for resistance, andtd reconquer the last cround. If America loses her gates to us by customs duties and TnrmtAnt froiirhta w oro n t least left the 3resource OI energetically ngnting against neri lin European markets. I "Had the 1 hiladelphia xposition taken rplace five years later, we should have been totally annihilated without knowing whence hrhow we received the terrible blow.

Did we not sneer at liesancon at the outset? And now liesaticon suffices for France, and besides. jshe exports her surplus of manufacture. We ask -ourselves if, in reducing the price of watches, we can increase their sale in the same proportion? And if the sales dot not increase, what will become of us? We Uhall have an enormous utoelr nf coods and n
Lsftrpermanent stagnation. The customs duties,! still fyou know, amount to 25 per cent. For ai

(Oorrespondenoe Courier-Journal. Suppose those democrats of the lower house who were endeavoring to prevent the ix)mpieiion oi tne electoral count caa succeeded in their efforü, what then? Why, then, Morton would have been elected prelding ofheer of the senate: 1- leid s bill for a new election would not have become a law: I-forton would have stepped in as acting president, and would probably have re named in until the two houses could have agreed on a law for a new election, which might have been never; Packard andC'hamrerlain would have been sustained, and the levu woald have been to play generally. CR FRIVIL.KGR TO WAIT. INashville Union.) It was then granted the democracy the people the uncorrupt, with garment, uniefiled, without a stain of dishonor in a canvass where they have been overwhelmed by fraud, but not besmirched by it, to wait, vith honest indignation, not with that insor lent anger that burns itself out, but that --teady determination, which can bide ita time until the wrong is made right, and the lark places give up their frauds and their shadows Sit away to deeper and darker places before the dawning light To fail of success is not .the greatest calamity; a loes bf honor were worse.

Hayes is the first man ia bur history to take the presidency by a ttonously spurious title. Mr. Hayes will be come president at facto, not president at iurt.
