State Prison labor has been a crying
evil to the mechanics ofthis state. and
while this legislature is driving the pa.
per of other states back out Of compe.
titien with the banks of this state. we
hope they will take their thieves out Of
competition with the mechanics of the
State; who, in great measure, conlri.
butte towards keeping them and the
bankers both. s71
There are some men who claim to
be mechanics, and profess to have great
sympathy for them, and from their DO.
sition they can do a great deal Of good
or evil. We think If. there was a
proposition made to establish foundry
in the State Prison, we should see some
squirming among certain class of men:
and we have no doubt that that busi-
ness would have been established in
the prison some time since, but for tho
influence these men have had with
those having control Of this institution.

Five reasons against the present Tariff

EWt IodoVDo dSdlAst th0 Pl0ooAt 1dlAl'
4 Boston correspondent sends us the
folio wing five conclusions on an impor-
tant question::
1st. The law of 1912 was contrary 10
the compact between the North and
South, made at the time the question
was most earnestly debated in 1888, and
known as Mr.. Clay's compromise act.
The compromise expressly stipulated
that from and after the 3Oth Of June,
1912, no duty should be levied to exceed
20 per cent, on a home valuation.
I'd. The present tariff, by its different
duties upon tho various articles Of mer-
chandlze, it is unequal in its effects,
giving to some branches of manufacture,
advantages over others, contrary to the
spirit Of our institutions a d to the
soundest principles Of political economy
and national advancement.
Sd. The unreasonable duties, payable
in cash without any right ofwarehousing,
and the retention by government of two
and half per cent of all debentures.
prevents the importation Of merchandise
into our ports for the purpose Of re-ship>
ment to South America, and other for
sign markets, thereby interfering with
ship owners, ship builders and all inter-

send all his forces and overpower US, al the
same time informing the nhabitats that he
would give free pardon to all who would
JON him. Fortunately for US there was
none who accepted his proposal. On the
same day he told his soldiers If they would
take the city, he would give them three
hours TO pIunder the city, and three hours
to cut the throats Of the male inhabitants.

dark night, we could see as plain as day,
from the constant flashes OF the musketry.
The attack only lasted one hour and twenty
minutes; killed and wounded on the side Of

| knew we must part, yet united in soul
Our thoughts like one current together will roll,
And oh! should my soul be the first to ascend,
When an angel in heaven III plead for my friend;
Yet sometimes think when my young life is DER,
And my voice, that has thrilled thee can thrill
thee no more,
That my spirit will steal from its mansion Of bliss
To lie on thy bosom and guard thee in this.
Thou mayst whisper farewell, but thou canst
not depart
hold thee too close in the fold OF my heart;
And that full heart is. deeper than aught else can
be,
Unless tits the feeling cherish for thee.
Thou canst not escape; for, tho wide be thy
bound,
Sweet memoirs like sentinels guard the around
Kind watchers. they'll keep each intruder away,
And hold thee my captive by night and by day,
'Twere almost too sweet for such bosoms as ours
To die the calm death OF the innocent flowers;
Yet, ah! # the angels will answer my prayers
The close Of our lives will be lovely as heirs;--
Yet, OH if the death pangs OF our bosoms must
rend,
II they'll ming lie my spirit with that Of my fre nd
care not how soon they may sever earth's ties,
For, tho parted on earth, we'll be linked in the
