means nj eytorting money from innocent persons,

Public Morals, which almost always suffer from
the spectacle of an action to recover cash value
for Female Virtue. Artful profigates would con-
rive means of bringing scandalous and niquE
tons actions. and often of maintaining them !;
while rich villains would find in their wealth I'M
1unity for their vileness. We say, Punish the

II; "TnE Wool GROWERS OPPOSED TO THE
TARIFr."-We are told by gentlemen who have
recently returned from the ciies-dealers III the
artcle--that the best of Sleeps Pelts sci! qulck
for 81 apiece, cash. A year ago or so, holders
were glad to sell them for so or 10 cents III tn
ware. "The Farmers are opposed to the present
Tariff" shout the Loco papers. There may be
such, but they must be the humbuged readers OIL
these papers No wool-grower who properly ap-
prcciates the improvement the Tariff has thus
Ear produced can esteem his flock Of so low
value now by 33 per cent. when the present
Tariff became a law. Ever since the great
stock of Wool went to market last fall, there has
been permanent rise in the price OF Wool. Can
any BODY name another time Of equal length when
the Wool business improved so rapidly as 1t has

T. There is no interest in the country better
protected by the present Tariff than the Wool
growing. and vet Loco. Focoism has exhausted
all It's malice in efforts to make the Wool growers
dissatisfied with the Tariff, Let them see how
much better treatment they will get from the
other side Still, we would have Wool.growers
understand that the effect of Protection on wool,
as on every thing else, will not be to raise the
price permanently and considerably. The Home
competition will prevent this The Farmer Will
cain by the Tariff steady, ample and quick mar

NEw.YoRK AND ERIE RAlLRoAD-The Report
made to the Legislature by William Baker, Esq
on the state of this Railroad, seems one-sded and
unfair He secs nothing but extravaganza, both
in the price paid to Engineers, and the terms on
which contracts were made. The undertaking.
however, he thinks is entirely practlcable-that
it need not, indeed, be an expensive road
and that with moderate amount of capital, the
Whole may be completed in short time. The
total amount OF the receipts of the Company, from
every source, up 10 the 30th November, 1872, Is
1901 ,05S II The receipts from April IT,
1912, to August lst, 1913, have been, from
freight, $50 1856 90; from passengers, including
mail. SOL, 146 50. Total, S4S7 1872 6l. Money
entered since the above date, and some now or
hand, make in addition, Sl,72l 81. At the
close, Mr.. Baker qualities his assertion of ex-
travaganco made at the outset, and thinks that
generally there is "no evidence of the want Of
proper care and economy" in the management OF
the road. He says he has compared It's expenses,
&c. with the Syracuse and Utica Railroad, and
finds nothing uniavorable IN the comparison

"a Rational Christian" Owen Socialist
asks US what we believe on certain points concern
inc Christ and his doctrine.-We can only state
here that we do not intend TO discuss theological
