Growth Of Portsmouth.

We published the other day an aggre-
gate of the census recently taken in the
town of Portsmouth and Wayne township.
by which it appeared that the population of
the town was 1909, and Of the bal
ance Of the township 2l9, making in all
4,22S. We find from the published re-
turns of 1910, that the population of the
township at that time was 1853 that of
the town proper not being given in the TO-
turns we found. Allowing the same pro-
portion to exist then as now, and the popu-
lation within the corporate lines would be
l756. Taking either the town or town
ship, however, and the increase has been
Id per cent. This shows that the growth
ofour place with few exceptions has equal
led that Of any other in the west, and its
is now greater than at any pre-
vious period. When our railroad is COM
pleted powerful impetus will be given to
its growth, and the next ten years may
find its population trebled.

pisooverY Of Gold In rexas.

The Houston Telegraph says, that pre-.
parations are in progress in all parts Of the
State, for grand expedition to the gold
region that has been discovered in North
ern Texas, not far from the ruins of the
celebrated city Grand Quivira. Gold
mines have been found all along the great
chain of the mountains extending from tho
sources of tho Arkansas and Platte rivers,
by Santa Fe, to the Puerco. Immense ex-
cavatious are shown along the feet of these
mountains, and The ruins Of vast cities in
dicate that these mines were once worked
by millions of people. The geographical
formations ofthis region are so similar to
those of the gold regions of California, that
they appear TO be identical, and confirm
similar deposits Of the precious metals.--
These facts have been made known through.
out Texas, and the Telegraph would not
be surprised 10 find that the emigration TO
the gold region Of Texns in the ensuing
autum should exceed the emigration to
California. All along the Indian frontier.
and throughout the interior Of The State,
the notes Of preparation are sounding, and
thousands may be found vending their
way 10 Northern Texas in the course of
two or three months. The excitement in
regard to this expedition has perhaps ney-
er been equaled.

Springfield.

The deputy marshal at Springfield, Ohio,
has completed the census Of this pleasant
and thriving young buckeye city, and re-
ports the population at 5,Ol7, which the
Republic says is gain of about one thou
sand within the past twelve months.
The Republic stated some time ago that
the population numbered about l2,000.--
Not very good at guessing. Spring field
however, has trebled her population since
tho commencement of the Little Miami
Railroad, and doubled since the completion
Of that work. What would that place have
been without the railroad? II has evident
ly been the cause of her growth, as there
is nothing else which could have given her
such an impetus. Although our city hns
more than doubled herself in point Of popu-
aiion since 1910, had we railroad rum
ming north, she would double herself again
in five years.

Mexican dates 10 the Sth July have been

SHOE Business IN New ENeLASD.-To
give some idea of the extent to which the
manufacture Of shoes is carried in some
towns of New England, it is only necessary
to show the operations Of one yillage. For
the year ending April last, it was estimated
that the whole number manufactured in
Pennington, N. H., exceeded 425, 900,
valued at 100000. The amount paid
for labor, freight and trnckuge, was near
$l9O,000. The boxes alone cost 80 600,
aud required 100000 feet Of lumber TO
make them. There are now six large
manufactures, besides some smaller ones,
oil together capable of turning out 100000
per annum, should the wants Of the trade
require, and prospects warrant It.
lfPortsmouth increases in shoe factories
for n few years as fast as she has the past
one, she will rival Pennington, and per-
hups Lynn.

Democrats, TO- Your Postsl

Our democratic friends we hope will
mot forget, that Saturday next is the day
appointed for choosing delegates to two
conventions; one, to1meet at Piketon on
ihe.Saturday following, tonominate acan-
sdidaie for Congress from this district and
another to meet on Saturday the 7th Sep
tember to nominate representative to the
State Legislature and also county officers.
The ensuing election is an important
one and we hope every. township will be
reprcsented by good and true men in the
conventions. The democracy have great
cause for encouragement if they are but
true to themselves. We have as cundi.
date for Governor a democrat of tried and
sterling worth, and the same may be said
Of our Cnn,l Commissioner. A thorough
organization throughout the State will give
us the victory,
But besides the election OF our candooles,
there is great and momentods question
Mt issue in the present campaign. It IS
whether the people or chartered monopo-
lies orea sovereignl Whether the many
must remain hewers Of wood and drawers
Of water 10 the privileged fen? WllOtever
differences Of opinion may exist in regard
TO minor points, the democracy have taken
their stand on the broad principle that,
hereafter special privileges and special le-
glslation are to be done away with. Laws
mus, hereafter be made for the good of the
people instead of corporations. Let demo-
Gratis awake to the heimportance of the issue
and all win be well. Let every township
in Scido county be fully organized, SO as
to bring our full strength to the polls, and
n full representation at the conventions.
Iftownship meetings are not held, leteyery
democrat consider himself delegate and
attend the conventions.

Protection.

The London Historic Times, says that Mr..
Lawrence, our Minister at London, sides
openly With the protectionists OF England,
although in their dccadcacs.
Mr.. Lawrence is consistent in siding with
the protectionists Of England, as he was a
proiectionistwhen in this country. Every
wing, who is in favor Of protective tariffs in
this country, to be consistent, must favor
the protectionists Of England. They pro-
pose to raise the tariff high enough to pro-
tect their agriculturalists from competition
from this country, which, would raise bread
and meat too high for the poorer classes to
indulge much in them, and we should again
hear Of the starving millions" SO much
spoken Of few years since. The nobility
own the land, their tenants till it; the for
mer do nothing but collect their enormous
rents, the latter--those who should be most
benefited after paying their rents, have but
small pittance left for theirlabor. An in
crease Of tariff would result, as it has before,
in higher rate Of rents, and higher prices
for bread; consequently, double the misery
that already exists among the poor, tend to
further aggrandizement Of the landed pro-
prietors,-the nobility, the dukes, barons,
marquises--and prohibit the introduction of
American products. The money paid as
duty upon flour must come off the producer
or consumer, most generally the latter. The
producers of -four in England are few when
compared with the manufacturing classes;
therefore, tariff on -four must benefit the
aristocatic few, (the nobility to the injury
Of the many, (the poor laborers.) This is
what Mr.. Abbott Lawrence is in favor Of.
He favored the aristocratic few in this coun-
try-why not be consistent and favor them
in England7
While writing upon this subject, we may
as well add that, a Boston paper states that
cotton goods manufactured in Alabama, have
been sold in the immediate reighborhood Of
Lowell, the greatest manufacturing town in
this country. This we expected sooner Or
later. II would be about as reasonable for
the northern manufacturers TO ask of Con-
gress protection from the southern goods, as
to insist upon tariff which would protect
them from the British or other foreign fac
tories. Indeed. they have more cause to
fear competition from the south-lrom their
own countymen-than from England, or
any other country.
