Oh FnRFlkLD-Ni Hing. --old Fairfield truly
has been shurn Of her ancient greatnes nessembracins
rs she did st the adoption Of the present Constt-
ton Of the State, nearly one eighth part Of the area
of Ohio. Yet at that day with her huge size aud
unwieldy proportions, her finances were managed
BY prudent men aud the cost OF administering
county affairs was not near SO great MS at present.
Under the management Of cautious aud honest
men, selected by the people without regard to
party nominations, county taxes were light ahd
though territory aiier territory was clipped from
her borders the people did not feel the burdens
OftaxatiOn. She grew up and prospered. addng
personal property when real estate was taken a.
way, and the officers selected by the people la
bored assiduOnsly to have every thing done Pru-
IDENTIFY aud economically.
AT this day, as regards both territory and taxes,
Tho contrast with oldeu times is complete. But
oven now, our border friends are not content
There is still little left over aud above the con-
stitutional limit OF 400 square miles and they are
after the surplus. The friends Of the new county
of National have made a glorious effort, but we
think they are fishing for huge salmon that does
not swim in our walers. Should they succeed in
getting the portions Of Violet, Liberty and Wal
nut, which they are alter, we cannot figure up a
balance fover 396 square miles. We rather guess
they have made mistake However, our county
map may not be exactly correct, but we thiuk

piece, perfectly consttutionally, and had better
be watched. There s Richland, which we could
hot possibly spare, We have friends there we
cannot aEordio lose--to say nothing ofthe east
part Of Rushcreek and Auburn which they also
seek after. ft,
Hebron is nice little place, situated upon the
Ohio canal and the National Road, and we would
like very much to see it prosper, new county
would add greatly to the value of corner lots and
some men might grow rich. All this we would
be perfectly willing to see and rejoice over t,ye
ifthey look little closer into what is lett ot an
cient Fairfield, we think they will 6ud that they
have asked for little more than we can possibI,
spare. We are law-abiding people in Old Fair
Held aud though friendly to new Constitution
properly framed, we cannot afford to violate tht
old one so long as it remains the fundamental law
of the State.

OF all the communities of the world, the
one which, according to the views Of Mr..
Secretary WALKER, occupies the most
beautiful position is that of Canada. Its
members enjoy the system of slow du-
ties'-and even the lovesf, for, compared
to their system, ours is almost one of pro-
hibition, which is, says the Secretary, ga
war upon the labor of the world"--and
foreign nations are therefore enabled, on
the most advantageous terms, 'sto ex-
change their fabrics for the surplus of their
agricultural products" which "otherwise
would remain unsold." Exchanging thus
their "surplus products for the "cheaper
fabrics" of Europe, and the labor of Can
ada being, according TO the Secretary,
ssapplied to the production of the articles
thus exchanged" wages are "enhanced"
by obtaining ssmore extended markets, !"
and "getting for them greater quantity
of useful articles at lower prices" With
them the great question whether they
"shall have two markets or one" is set
tied, for upon two markets they have to
depend, whether they desire so to do or
not. They have no market at home, and
abroad they must 60.

rising in every part of the country, but
have closed many of them, and the penal
ties we have inflicted on their builders
will effectually prevent any further such
impairment interferences with our sys-
tenn. We found immigration increasing
at rate more rapid than was ever known.
By closing the mines, and furnaces, and
mills, we have induced many to return
home, SO that the danger OF further immi-
grafton is greatly diminished. We found
the home market for food growing SO ra-
pidly that it was to be feared the prices
might rise to level with those Of the
"high TARIFF year, 1886, and that the
miners and furnace-men might be COM
PEELED to send abroad for food; but, by
closing the mines and furnaces, and di-
minishing immigration, we have dissipated
the danger. We found population grow
ing with immense rapidity, and land in
creasing fast in value; but we have ex-
ported two hundred thousand men to Cal
ifornia and lowered the value of land at
home, while raising that of Chill, which
now feeds hundreds of thousands of those
who were our farmers customers. We
found the farmers secured in their home
market, with power to supply largely
those abroad, when short crops there
raised prices above the usual level of our
own. We have opened the home mar
ket to foreigners, and our farmers are
now obliged to "compete" with European
prices slower than the average Of the last
twenty years." and becoming daily lower.
We found States, cities, and towns getting
out of debt. We have taught them the
advantage of buying iron on credit, and
they are everywhere running headlong
into debt. In one word, we found an
ediice of marble, we give you one ofbrick.
With time, we may succeed in converting
it into one of wood.
Everywhere, all around, it will be seen cities,
towns, and boroughs, are running headlong into
debt 1t may be that the works which the money
raised is to aid in constructing useful and
wisely projected; but the error OF old, perceive,
is still practised, of creating the debt without the
proper provision at the same time for the payment
of either principal interest. The effect Of such
a course has recently been experienced as to
leave no doubt that prostration of credit will
