we learn that none of the plates have been
stolen, and, that they were in Philadelphia,
instead of Cincinnati. They think that a

SATISFACTORY ExcusE!-Thcre is loco
foco paper in Ohio, which explains the cause
orthe increase in the expenditures, by the
fact that there were larger number ofmem-
bers in the last Legislature, than in those
which had assembled previously. This is
truc--but as we were promised an economic
al government under the "New Constitu-
ton" the fact that the number of Legislators
was increased made the increase in the per
diem all the less cxcusablc.
In the two Houses there were l3l mem
bers and 40 Clerks, assistants, and Ser
geont-nt.arms. The increase in the per diem
from 3 to $4 added $l7l, 90 per day to the
expense Of the Legislature. For the l20
days of the first session, this increase of 81
p day amounts to 800 500, equal to two.thirds
Of the entire sum paid to all the members,
clerks &C., during each session in which the
wings had the supremacy in the Legislature!
We hope the tax payers will look at this
item, of $2O,520, the aggregate of the in
crease of the per diem--the piling up OF one
additional dollar on the wages of men many
of whom couldn't make half that amount at
home, and whose services would have been
dear if rendered gratuitpusly y!-Dayton Jour

TENDENCIES OF THE TARIFFS OF l342 AND
l846.-The tendency Of the tariff Of 1912
wus towards the promotion Of the impOrta-
ton Of foreign raw materials, to be COM
bined with those Of domestic growth, and
converted into the forms fitting them for
consumption, by the labor of men who should
cat the food grown in Illinois and Indiana,
Iowa aud Wisconsin; and how vast is the
effect Of such II policy upon the interests oil
he farmers, may be seen by the following
statement OF the manufacture of the single
article Of Inda rubber:
Manufacture of shoes, about 100000
pairs; of car-springs, 100000 lbs; Of steam-
packing, about 100000 lbs; Of machine
betting, about 200 900 lbs; OF clothing and
various other articles, about 100000 lbs. OF
rubber cloths, 100000 lbs.i for other purpos.
es, about 10000 lbs.
The tendency Of the tariff Of 1886 is that
prohibiting the import of foreign raw ma
tcrials, and compelling the exports of our
own in the most bulky shape, to be convert
ed by men who eat the food Of Britain, Po-
land aud Russia; and thus il is that the far
mer brings about state of things that re-

csts of the nation have determined" Gays Il
contemporary, "to import their cloth and
iron. 1t is of course proper to export cotton
and corn to pay for them. This can only be
done By reducing their price 80 low, that they
can be exported at profit" The lower the
price, the more viii 90 abroad; the poorer
our people, the less they will consume, and
the lower must be the price, the lower the

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-We are informed

on Wednesday last, which resulted in the
death Of a respectable citizen, under the fol-

named Crawford, about some stock getting
into Crawrord's field. Robinson having a
rifle in his hand, took deliberate aim, and
told Crawford, if he spoke another word, or
even turned his head, he would blow his
brains out. The unfortunate man made
some remark, when Robinson pulled the
trigger, and sent Crawford into the eternal

Bur, WHO IS FRASKLIE PIERCE! This
question has been asked by tens OF ofthousands
of citizens, all over the land, since Saturday
noon. When we heard of his nomination,
we at once commenced a search after his
history, among the books within our reach.
We know nothing of his early life. In 1888
he was elected to the House Of Representa-
lives in Congress, which position he retain
cd four years. In 1887 he was elected U. S.
Senator from New Hampshire. He remain
ed in the Senate during his term, and in
iS43 was superseded by Chas. G. Athcrton,
who became famous as the author ofthe gag
rule in the House. DIR. Pierce then went
into state ofretiracy, from which he emerg-
ed in 1917. Upon the passage Of the Ten rsgi-
'neaibM through Congress, Polk appointed
Mr.. Pierce one ofhis Brigadier Generals
At the same time Generals Pillow and Quit
man were promoted from Brgatier to Major
Generals, and Messrs. Cadwallader and
Hopping were created Brigadiers.
Gen. Pierce started with body Of $500
troops from Vera Cruz, on the 10th July,
ls45, to join Gen. Scott who was then at
PGebla. On the 9Th August, he joined the
main army, without encountcring any spec
ihl dangers. On the l9,h August, he was
thrown from his horse and severely injured.
This disabled him so much, that he was
not able to do active service during the re.
msindcf fthatmagnifcent campaign, lie
was one Of the Commissioners appointed by
Scott to negotiate with Santa Anna, but
nothing was effected ut that time. From
thence we lose trace Of him till last winter
when the New Hampshire State Convention
rendered to him their support as candidate
for Governor. This, he declined. W.
know nothing Of his personal character, but
presume he is u respectable citizen. We
shall certainly oppose his election with al
our might; but we trust nothing will be de-
vcloped that will require reference to his
private character or transactions There is
higher and more legitimate game.-OIiC

Hill, son Of Frederick Hill, one of the sur
vvors of the late alIray, known as the
"Scott's Fork Tragedy" and Nelson South
erland Aims Nels Bedster, were returning
home from the plantation ofJohn and Squire
Loavell, where they had been at work. On
their way they had to pass a short distance
NJ main Sugar Creek to the mouth oI
SCOTS Fork, in doing which they were fired
upon by four Of the Evanscs and Jackson
May, who were concealed in ambush. Many
shots were Grcd by the Evans party, between
five and ten balls taking effect upon Southcr-
land, killing him instantly. During the af-
fray, he received several severe cuts with d
bowie knife. james Hill, boy some fifteen
or sixteen years of age, received one wound
in the thigh by ball from the Evanses, who
shot at him several times. He was soon
overtaken by the party, and severely beaten
over the head withthe barrels Of their weO-
pons, after which they took from him his
own pistole and shot him, the ball taking
effect in the hip; he would probably have
been killed but for the timely interference
Of some person VINO came up and advised
them to leave, telling them that the whole
Hill party was coming upon them. No shots
were fired by Hill or Southerland. The
probability is that Hill will recover, although
he is dangerously wounded, one ball lodging
near the hip joint
