FRIDAY MORNING. DEO. 30, 1870.
BOMBARDMENT OF PARTS.
At length the bombardment of Paris ha
commenced. There has been a hope !ha
the horrors of such an event might b<
avoided, but it has failed, and now the
beautiful city and its inhabitants must suf
fer all that relentless war is able to inflict
That the defence will be desperate admit.*
of no doubt. The spirit and courage oi
the French have been often pro veil, and
in defence of their proud capital, their
homes and firesides, against the German
foe, these traits will be exhibited in deeds
of valor and endurance. Hut the odds are
•gainst them, and however manfully they
may contend we believe that the end will
be their surrender. We have thought that
this result must be so apparent to their
leaders that they might endeavor to save
the city and prevent the miseries of bom
bardment by an early capitulation, but the
sting of humiliation is so sharp, the hatred
of an invading foe so powerful in the hu
man breast, that we cannot after all be
surprised if they decide to yield only when
they must, and oblige the Prussians to
march over their dead bodies and find a
city in ashes.
The success of the Prussians in this cam
paign has surprised the world. The
French wero known to be good fighters,
their armies were supposed to be under
the best discipline, and the war was one of
their own seeking. Manifestly the}' con
sidered themselves competent to deal suc
cessfully with the Prussians, or they would
not have advanced so gaily and without
provocation towards the Rhine, boasting
that they were bound to Berlin to humble
King William and the audacious Bismarck.
Up to this time France had occupied the
first place among European powers. The
utterances of Napoleon were watched for
with as much interest as though they were
the decrees of fate. He had but to frown
and Europe trembled. Starting upon this
campaign with such omens of victory for
the French, the following recapitulation
of the principal events is worthy of notice :
July 15. War declared by France against
Prussia.
.July 28. Emperor Napoleon left Paris
and plaeed himself at the head of the
army in Metz.
Aug. 2. First tight at Saarbrucken, where
the Prince Imperial had his famous bap
tism in bloodv
Aug. 3. Battle of Welssonburg, first vic
tory for the Prussians.
Aug. 6. Battle of Woerth, in which Mc
Mahon was defeated.
Aug. 14. Heavy battle at Metz, and the
Prussians victorious.
Sept. 1. Battle of Sedan, capture of Na
poleon and surrender of McMahon and
his army.
Sept. 27. Surrender of Strasbourg.
Oct. 27. Bazaine surrendered Metz and
his whole army.
Dec. 27. Bombardment of Paris com
menced.
Such are the principal events of the
Franco-Prussian war, begun less than six
months ago. What the conclusion will be
if France and Prussia are lolt to tight it
out with their own strength is not doubt
ful. Paris will be captured, and France
mast submit to the demands of the con
queror. If the humiliation of defeat were
all it would not be so difficult a task to
submit, hut without a government, en
cumbered with debt, shorn of territory,
wAlia country whose industries have been I
destroyed by being the theatre of war,
France will be in a pitiful condition indeed.
Should Prussia emerge from this war as
victorious as she has thus far^een, the
empire of Germany will hold a first rank
among European nations, and make a
page in history memorable for valor and
military skill, also for statesman I ike ability
in the completion of German unity.
FREE TRADE AX!) EROTECTIOX.
The Maine Standard thinks that the ac
tion of this city in the Sprague purchase
may be legitimate and wise for Augusta,
but that its increase ot population and
prosperity may be at the expense of other
towns, and therefore, as a free trader, ob
jects. This virtually yields the argument,
for the point of dispute is which is best for
the nation against other nations, free trade
or protection ? The Standard tacitly ad
mits that protection will be good for this
nation, but declares that it will be bad for
others, in wliich we agree with it fully.
It says in speaking of this city :
But from where it thi* increase of popula
tion to come? From other pla'ces, of course.
Suppose one hundred come from Waterville,
fifty from Skowhegan, fifty lrom Farmington,
and so on throughout the State or even the
entire country, what will be the effect upon
the places from whence they come? Why
the demand theru will fall off and business
decline in the same proportion surely. The
merchants of Waterville will have one hun
dred lest customers to sell to; the fanners ot
that locality will have one hundred less to
supply with farm products; the same nt
Skowhegan. Farmington and all other places
from which this population is to come,
Augusta's gain will be their loss.
Very well. Now enlarge this policy till
it becomes national; instead of confining
it to Augusta, let it represent the United
.States, which is its actual boundary, and
then wliat according to the Standard’s
logic is the result? Why, business and
population will fall oil' over in Kugland,
France, Germany, as our manufactories
iucreate, and we shall gain all they lose.
No protectionist we are sure will obj« c|
to that statement, because it embodies his
exact ideas. Hut the idea which the Stan
dard teems to have that we must not pro
tect our own industry and build up oui
ana nation because we might thereby inter
fere with the prosperity of foreign nations,
is exactly what protectionists do not sub
scribe to. They do not intend to become
a party to build up the manufactures of
Great Britain and the imports of British
goods against their own people. As citi
zens of Augusta we favor all measures for
her growth and prosperity, and should
think we wore in exceedingly mean busi
ness if the money or influence of Water
ville or any other town could lead us to
; prefer their interests to those of this mu
nicipality, and don't doul t that they would
think so too. Precisely so among nations.
Let us take care of our own first.

At Ao. 41, Perhain Street,
In Rear of Court House,
Thii Mode of -Treatment, which is being
adopted by a large number of the Medical profes
sion, has become quite popular in almost every
State of the Union. It has been examined by thou
sands of Physicians, of all schools of medicine, and
there has not been one dissenting voice to the
correctness of the principle; all acknowledge that
it fills a vacuum in the Science of Medicine. The
sick and afflicted are demanding it everywhere.
We have demonstrated the fact that Paralysis
Nervous Debility, DykpCpSia, a euralgia, j
Gout, Consumption in its incipient
stages, all Cancerous
Affections, Dropsy, Varicose Veins, Weak
Chests, Narrow Chests, Asthma,
Weak Lungs, j
Weak Backs, AVcak, Stiff and Shrunken Limbs,
Curvature of the Spine, and other
Spinal Affections,
Sciatica, Khenmatism of years standing, Spasms
Epilepsy, Palsy, St. Vitus’ Dance,
Derangement of the Miud,
Prolapsus Uteri, Obstructed Menstruation, with
all their concomitant diseases, Impotency,
and all kinds of weaknesh of the
Generative Organs,
CAN BE CURED. It brings a greater supply ol
blood and nutrition to all weak parts, thus creating
new life and tone, and health and strength in those
parts. It breaks up Congestion a»id Inflammation
by equalizing the circulation throughout every part
of the system.

Dus. Norcross A Hi nt In reply to your re
quest 1 have to say, tiiat some eighteen months
since I began to be nfiecied with a d.sease which
the physicians pronounced to he “Loss of Nervous
Power,” since which time 1 had not been able to at
tend to business of any kind. About six weeks
since, 1 was advised to try the “Vacuum Cure” un
der your directions, and am free to say that up to
this time 1 have received decided benefit from its
use, and 1 am now' ublc to attend to my business.
