Tariff of 1896.

1t is curious to observe with what indus
Fry tho or.tclcs of free trade endeayor to
prove the tariff of 1916 a wise measure of re-
form Its magical power in doubling the
price of bread stufs is not its only virtue but
the fact that it has not in the first six months
of its existence destroyed the business inter-
ests of the country, is proof positive of its be-
ing great relief measure There is, how
ever another reloeming quality promulg gated
by the acknowledged oracle in this place. 1t
is assn ned that in single port in New York,
the dutiablc merchandise imported the first
year (current) under the new tariff will
reach twelve millions of dollars over the
amount received under the operation of the
old tariff. And this is considered tlatter-
ing evidence in favor of the Tariff Of 8lG !"
Ycs,sending abroad twelve millions more than
heretofore is very fattering,' says the ora
Gle Thus to see foreign manufactures come
in to take the place of our own-foreign in
dustry encouraged at the expense Of our own,
is nIttaring,' very! This increase Of impor-
tations is all necessary to make up for the de-
creased duties. We have to import much
more in order to obtain the same amount of
revenue. And will any one say that foreign
goods come to lis at lower prices now than
formerly? No,not whit less. Now, where
in do we find satisfactory evidence Of the
great advantages to be derived from the tar
ilf of 1916? The fact is but for two unusu-
al AMI extraordinary occurrences, a famine
on the one hand and war on the other,
very different state of things would exist I'M
der the operation OF low tariff and Gov
ornment Sub-Treasury, the former drawing
our specie abroad to pay for foreign goods,
and the latter drawing together the precious
metal to be locked up in vaults'-'St, A!daas

The Tariff of 1876.

The following tells its own story. 1t will
be seen that the increase of the revenue is
about One Million and Half of dollars with
in the last seven months MIR. Webster as.
serted that the revenue to be derived from
the new tariff coull not exceed Thirteen
Millions of dollars fJr the year, and yet in
seven months the revenue amounts to over
Twenty Millions, and Mr. Walkers estimate
will full short of the amount for the year.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT. The Buffalo Cour-
ier relates case OF extraordinary fortitude
under suffering. Mr.. John A. johnson, of
Clarence, in that county,a cooper, aged about
60 years, went into a swamp, about three
fourths Of mile from home, to cut timber
He cut tree so that it fell lengthwse of a
log and lodged against another tree. He
then stepped on to the log for the purpose Of
cutting the tree off. On striking the second
blow, the tree fell, knocked the axe out of his
hands, and throwing it some four or five feet,
knocked him down, and caught his left leg
between its trunk aud the log, and broke it in
three places, between the knee and the ankle
crushing the ankle as low as the heel of the
boot would permit, lie lay in this situation
some time, crying for help, but none came to
his assistance. At length, reaching out his
hand, with much difficulty he got hold of a
stick, and with that succeeded in getting his
axe within reach. With one hand he cut the
tree in two, and liberated himself. He then
crawled to the top of the tree, and cut a limb
for crutch, and with that and his axe he
hoped nearly half mile, when his cries
brought assistance and he was carried home.
Great doubts are entertained Of his rccov-
cry,
The Courier adds that Mr.. johnson is a
poor, hard working, industrious man, and re-
quests for him some assistance. Certainly, if
the same degree Of heroisn was exhibited in
a military career, it would be sure Of admira-
/ ton and reward.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION Thequcston this week
presented in the proceedings forwarded from Pitts
ford is an important one, and one which we trust
will receive the attention from Candidates. and ell
the freemen of the county that its merits demand.
That all will give it that examination we do not
expect; but, as we believe the proposition to en-
brace principles, which, if placed the Statute
Book of Vermont, will not only aid the poorbu also
benefit community at large, We trust the time is not
far distant when the Laws Of this State will embrace
the one covering the ground named. We hope too,
that if questioned, the Wing Senatorial candidates
last nominated for this County, will see the justice
and propriety of giving affirmative answers to the
" Homestead Exemption" question.
Az the law abolishing imprisonment for debt
found its strenuous opposers, for time may we
anticipate opposition to the present propositions and
we will now propose to those who think they can
present valid reasons against the enactment of the
last named law, they may have a reasonable space

ROME. A fete was celebrated at Rome on
the 18th inst, in honor Of the amnesty pro-
claimed to political prisoners at the accession
of Plus TX. When the populace were assem-
bled to witness the display of fire works in
the public square, it was arranged by band
of conspirators, including many persons OF
rank in the army and government, that par
ties, duly instructed should commence an at
tack upon the soldiery, which would furnish
pretext for a general massacre, in which
the popular leaders would be especially mark
ell, and the tumult thus created would justify
the removal Of Plus or the withdrawal OF the
administration of government from bis con-
trol. The unwarranable entranc OF AHstrI-
an troops into the kingdom at remote points,
on the day fixed for the massacre,a land the dis
covery of other proofs and parties to the plot,
place it beyond doubt that this was pre-
concerted plan. Several Of the chiefs, lnclud-
ing the governor of Rome, have been pro-
scrbed, and but for the influence of the pop
ular leaders would have fallen victims to the
fury of the people. The national guard at
once organised themselves, and this untoward
event may prove the precursor OF the re-es-
Enlistment of the nationality Of Italy. The
new Secretary of State Cardinal Ferretti,has
protested against the occupation of the papal
territory by the Austrian troops, and the in
reference of that government in the internal
affairs cf the Roman States.

reduction of from six to seven shillings ster.

FIRES IN RoxBURY. About half past
o'clock last evening, a small cottage situated
on Ccntre-street, Roxbury, was set on fire
but the flame was eXtinguished with but little
damage to the building.
About 2 o'clock this morning, fire was dis
covered in a large dwelling house on Vernon
street, RoXbury, owned by Amasa G. Wis
wall, Esq, which was totally destroyed. The
house was unoccupied at the time, the family
having been absent several weeks.
While this fire was raging, another alarm
was raised, which proved to come from the
corner of Dudley and Warren streets. Before
the flames could be subdued, the carpenters
shop of YIN. Curtis, the carriage shop of J.
II. Burrill, and the paint shop of r. H. Wis
wall were destroyed, together with large
amount Of their respective stocks and tools.
The buildings, as we learn, belonged to Mr..
John Gregg. The blacksmith shop occupied
by Mr.. John Whittemore, was also consider
ably damaged. The residence opposite, on
Dudley street, occupied by Dr. Winship, was
saved from burning by row of trees, which
of course were much injured, if not entirely
destroyed.-BoSt. Jour.
