SET: Sealing Newspaper Wrappers The
Post Master General and the Committee on
Post Offices of the House have recommended
this new postal article to the favorable action
of Congress. and bill is now before that body
for its adoption. Considering the countless
millions of Newspapers that are read through
out our vast country, and the trifling postage
on each, it is believed that the stamping of
these wrappers with cent Rtsr0p by Gov
ernment aud sale at all post-offices. the same
as stamped envelopes. will furnish the public
with neat, cheap. convenient. and much
needed means of enclosing newspapers and
all transient printed matter, and thereby
largely increase the amount of all such mat
ter dispatched by mail. and thus add to the
receipts of the Post Office Departmen from
quarter to half a million OF dollars annually
They will also benefit the press, by increasing
their sales. for the purpose of enclosing to
friends. The bill sho1ld be passed immcdi-
asely.-Natiosa1 Lsee U;geneo

The Tariff.

II was confidently believed some weeks ago,
that tariff bill would be passed during the
present session of Congress, which would fur
nish ample protection to the great industrial
interests of the country, particularly to the
coal and iron interests of Pennsylvania. But
the friends of the measure have been sadly
disappointed. After having been virtually
killed by Objectionable amendments. it was
finally nefeated in the Senate on last Thurs
day.
We are not now, and never have been, the
. advocates of high protective tariff; that is
one that would give an unhealthy stimules to
business, and encourage wild and reckless
spirit of speculation. But our industrial in
tcrests should be protected to sufficient ex-
tent, tojustify enterprising but prudent men,
in investing their capital in manufacturing
mining &c. The country prospered under
the tariff of 1916, and it was therefore prob
ably high enough. 1t was Its repeal by a
Black Republican Congress, that prostrated
the coal and iron interests of our State, and
ruined SO many enterprising men. The peo-
pie of Pennsylvania viii have an opportunity
next October, to show their determination
that the present tariff shall be repealed, by
rolling up an old fashioned majority for Hon.
Henry D. Foster for Governor, who is every
where known to be the fearless advocate OF
ample protection to American industry.

TIE Fourth Of July.-Tbe S4th anniver-
sary of American Independence is rapidly
approaching, and yet no arrangements have
been made for ITS celebration in this place.
This is wrong. We have an abundant supply
of immaculate patriots aud eloquent orators,
and could get up a first class celebration
without. any difficulty We therefore move
that arrangements for the occasion be COM
menced forthwith. Who viii second us. We
understand that arrangements are being made
for a celebration at the Summit which will
be worth attending. The patriotic citizens
of that place never do things by halves. and
the attendance from abroad will doubtless be
large. We also learn that the citizens of
Clear6eld township will honor the glorious
oc aston by celebration at st. Augustine or
Chest Springs. Those who wish to spend the
day patriotically and pleasantly, would do
well to attend.

Arc the Republicans sincersi

The supporters of Lincoln in this quarter
profess a rigid sentiment in favor of Protec
tion and 6ec'aim loudly for the passage %
Tariff bill which the House of Representatives
have been considering. The New York
Erening Post. and the journals of Black Re-
publicanism 10 Maine, (Hamlin's State,) aud
everywhere down East" with equal power
denounce the House bill as 1.-THE odious Tariff
Act,N and call for its unconditional defeat.
Aud. again, the Abolition National Con-
ventiOn declared against all legislation, by
Congress or State Legislation. on the subject
of naturalization. Out West, this plank
is in the highest favor. Here. on the other
hand, it is ignored" and in Massachusetts,,
Governor Banks proclain,s on this subject,
that the people will ''order and control their
own domestic institutions as they please. ac-
cording to their own judgement" and without
regard to what the National Convention has
said or done. And all the other planks. ex-
cept that which relates to the negro, are treat
ed IN the same way.
Now it is evident that somebody is to be
sold. Either the Tariff men or their oppo-
nents, the Americans or the Germaus and
all who differ on every other point but the in
evitablc darkey, are TO be banboozled by this
''bODest" organization. Whether they will
submit to the operation tamely. and with the
utmost perfect resignation, is the question:

Paper Cities.-MiDnesota has had bitter
experience in paper cities. The ST. Paul
Pioneer and Democrat, moraliziEg upon the
past. says:
From all the signs of the times. we pre-
diet that before another year passes, real cs-
tate signs will begin to reappear in our streets,
and that corner lots will again begin to be-
come the staples of town talk but no more
will be heard the names innumerable of the
paper cities, which made so much noise and
so many dupes III the flush times of 30 and
sc. The experiment of laying out whole
country in town lots can be tried only in the
infancy of new State, before cutting the
first teeth. We have accomplished this al
ready, aud our paper towns. several thou
sand in number, have been abandoned to ma
ture, or fenced In for farms Wheat, cab
bage. and potatoes grow In their broad streets
and ample parks.
The small, actual towns, will, many OF
them. continue to grow beautifully less. The
large towns and cities will absorb them. and
the next rage for real estate speculation will
be confined chiefly to farming land, and FIRST
class town and city property.
