A STORY ABOUT MR BULL.

V FuihND of ours who has recently emigiatod to one of the Western States of Amciica sends us the following 1 ''PP'Ngi under the above heading, fiom V The Nevada State Journal," lemaiking : —This is. one of the many ribid idiotic .11 tides constantly appeal ing in the papeis hue." Mr Bull is an old gentleman who lives acioss the water. His chief business i:> to make other people his dependants, ■mo keeping some of them by force and '-'tine by cunning. Jle holds Ireland by ioico and liishman know what that means. Mi- Bull once owned a huge land tenlii.'in Amoiiea, and expected to make another li eland hcie — that is, to have ■Vmeiicii dependant on him for clothes, fuinituie, f.uimng tools, and even bucks to make houses of. 'I his was to be accomplished by force also, and btringent l.u\b were made to pi event the mtioduetion of teaiheis and machineiy into wneuca to enable her peoblo to shake ofl tin.ii dependence of Mr Bull. Mr Bull held that .is he could furnish supplies to our people cheaper than they could manufactuie them for themselves., it would he insane for Yankees to build dams and go to fooling with water w heels, steam engines, and othct dangeious instalments like buzz saws, exploding gundstones, and poisonous chemicals, putting life and limb m jeopaidy; and so he puded himself on Ins benevolence in making laws to picvent us from injuring ouiselves, and at the same tune seeming to us the advantage of ha\ ing his cheap goods for our comfoit and piospenty. Now it happened that there were a few obsttepeious fellows m America who did not fully believe in the doctrine of being dependent on John Bull, and they made a big hullabaloo about it and got up a row which resulted in compelling Mr Bull to suriender his grip on this country — which he did — and our people began to make laws for themselves. Mr Bull was greatly afraid that the new comitiy would make laws injuring itself, and would be foolish enough to spend time and money in building shops, uiid factones, and foundiies, and ships, and go to doing our own work, when all the time he could do it for us so much bettei and cheaper. Stiange to say, the Ameiicans did that veiy thing. They became the vciy fools that Mr Bull feaicd they would be. They actually made laws that piactically shut oft the old gentleman's cheap goods, and it neatly bioke his heait to havo his benevolent intent despised and defeated by an ungrateful and scandalous iace of misci cants. But Mr Bull is a pcrseveung old man, and lie said to himself, "those people are not all fools, l'eihfips by spending a few millions I might build up a Cobden Bull paity theio which would convince the people that Ueoige Washington, Alevind.n Hamilton, Thomas Jdreison, lieniy Clay and Daniel \\ obsttr wcie enemies of the laboiuing men, and had enacted those laws which built up nulls, shops, villages and cities just to keep the working men pool, and pi event them taking advantage of my kind oil jr to sell them all their supplies at a vastly cheaper late. Faith, and I'll tiy it on, anyhow," said lie. So the old man looked about and got his eye on apiofts^oi nanud Sunimei, a minister named Boucher, a lawyer named fluid, a Bohemian named Wells, and some otheis, and set them to work advocating his plan of Butish cheap goods as against the monstrous iniquity of American ta\ burdened monopoly goods that weie mining the rountry and preventing ltfiom becoming that paradise which is the lot of all countiies that tear down their mills, blow up their wicked old dams, put out their furnaces, and clos ( > their mines for the sake of taking advantage of the fneudly, fatheily kindness of Mi Bull. These men were exceedingly eloquent and got up then club and called it the (Jobden Club, because it was a truly Knghsh aflair in its inception and put - pose, and would bo suppoited with Butibh money. They woiked with a will and it was not long before Bayard, C'ai lisle, McDonald, Cox and Monison had the Dtmociatic paity pledged to the Butish scheme and resolved to toletate the Amencan system no longer. They say the liishmen will vote to help Mr Bull and the British because it is Demociatic to aid Mr Bull. Mr Bull docs not like Mr Blainc. He has an idea Mi Blame is an American. He is nfiaid that Mr Blame is in favoii' 1 oi having the goods which are consumed in Ameiica made in Amenca, and has a pm pose to give home workmen something to do in pieference to giving people in B'rmmgham and Manchester all the jobs. He imagines Mr Blame holding notions about home coinfoit, home labour, and liome rule, that aie antagonistic with his, and with Beechei's, and Bayaid's, and David A. Wells' ; and w hat money he puts into the campaign will be put in to defeat Mi Blame. Mr Bull is an honest conservative Knglislunan. He can suppoit Mr Cleveland or any good man not too much in faxoiu of Yankee workshop and Yankee notions and \ankee mechanics, but Mr Blame is too tiggiessivo and might slosh round and tiead on some coins gi own from seed laised in the gardens ot Windsor Castle. No, Mi Blaimc does not suit Johnny Bull.
