The Tariff Awiudle.

The Tribune, commenting on the Gov
ernor's approval of the eight-hour bill,
says:
1T remains to be seen it, while prices are
doubled, work can be successfully shortened
In other words, if the laborer cannot
now diminish the number of hours of
daily labor, and earn support for him
self and family, it is because of the
doubled prices of things he consumes.
What. has doubled prices: Everybody
knows it is, in great part, the eleven
Republican protective tariffs which. the
Tribune has aided to fasten upon the
country, and now vindicates. Even the
last wool tariff, which not only increases
the price of all the woollon clothes the
laborer buys for himself and family, but
penetrates into the large mass of i'm
ported goods made of textile frabrics,
and which was rushed through during
the closing hours of the last Republican
Congress, has made it still more difficult
for him to reduce the hours of his daily
toll. A few examples of comparison
between this last Republican outrage Of
March 9, 1867, and its. predecessor of
June 80, 1864, will suffice.

A dispatch from Fredericksbur

a U1spaucn 1rom Frederlcksburg,
Virginia, to the New York Herald, says
that recent arrest there developed the
fact that a secret negro organization,
hostile to the military, exisisted in the
town. The party arrested was a man
named Potter, from New York, who was
charged with having threatened to kill
the commanding officer of the troops
stationed there, the Mayor and several
citizens, and to burn fredericksburg
and Falmouth. He was, however, dis
charged by the Mayor, the proof being
insufficient. l..s . s'.-sr 81

This scale of increase runs through
and penetrates, as we have said, to ev-
cry class and quality, not only of wool.
len but other goods, which the family of
the laboring man most needs for cloths
ing. The cheaper quality of carpets
come in for their share of extortion.
A brussels carpet, for illustration, which
under the act of June 80 1864, paid the
almost prohibitory duty of seventy cents
yard, in gold; under the act of March
8, 1867, pays more than eighty seven
cents in geld, an increase of twenty-five
per centum. The tariff of 1867, by its
adroit combination of specific and ad
rdtorem rates, confuses the people, and
tends to mislead them as to the enor-
mons advance made.-World. ...--'.s

The In,cliixcncer and rhe wcsxel
Couaty Reiurns. s.

The IatcI|igencer of Saturday is not
.atisfsd with the manner in which we
congratulated the Democracy of Ohio
comfy upon their victory of last Thurs
,iay. II contends that we rejoieed over
the acquisition of power which we
already possessed. During tho cam
pairn Of last Fan, 'our sighbor wasted
4 good deal of ink and paper in proving
that this comfy was not Democratic.
We would like to know at what time he
changed his opinion. To be sure, his
experience has b, EN- of character to
convince even peoplo of his class, who
are said to learn in no other school, but
until now he has not. confessed to q
change in his views Of the political sit
uation in this county. His present ad-
missions viii he quite interesting to re-
call when he makes his next effort to
rally the faithful for another campaign.
Our neishbor tries to become pro
disionsly seysre in his concmsion. We
have heard of serpents that carried
sIings in their tails. Our contemporary
is evidently trying to play snake, bat
his lasr wriggle fails to develop the
sting. In some other respects, the fail
ure is not so complete. He advises us
TO glorify over the Wetzel county re-
turns. We take pleasure in complying
with his suggestion. For the first time
in the history of Magnolia township, in
that county, the Democrats have carried
il. The result shows a gain of over
forty votes in the township-a gain
10 he attributed to the disgraceful
attempt of the Registrars Of Wet
gel TO disfranchise large number
of the best citizens of.the county. The
infamy of the effort was only equalled
by the cowardice with which it was
abandoned, when the popular indigna-
ton became aroused, but the shameful
purpose was so apparent as to dis
gust everybody, Radicals included. The
Iesmlt is the Democratic victory to
which we have referred. 1t is victory
worthy of cOngratulation, and we
take pleasure in chronicling the tri-
umph, and in assuring our neighbor
that Wetzel county, Of which he speaks
SO contemptuously, is entirely out of
the clutches of his party and its tools.

Radicalism, or who were more amicably

LYONS PERIODICAL DROPS
THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARITIES.

! have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts SO powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in cases of female irregularity, as
does this medicine In all recent cases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer
ers, indebted to it for the boon of health to-
day.
Although powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times,
except when specially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by emf
nent physicians in France and England, as well
as in my Own practice, over ten yeais, and have
yet to hear of the first instance of failure
could give you testim onials of their efficacy from
ladies all over the northern and western states,
were they not in their nature private. Over Ie0,-
400 bottles have been sold the past year. and
hope and trust many sufferers have been bene-
fitted. / am well aware teat remedy so potent
to remove all distractions, may be used for q bad
purpose, but trust that where one bottle is TINS
used, ten may fall into the hands of really needy
sufferers.
To all who suffer from any irregularity pain
full, difficult, excessive, offensive or obstructed
Menstruation, Lucorrhea, or the train of diseases
that follow, would say. try a bottle of Dr. Ly-
on's French Periodical Drops. Being fluid
preparation, their action is more direct and posi-
tive than any pills or powders. Explicit direc-
tiOns wearing my facsimile, accompany each bot
tie.
They may be obtained of nearly every druggist
in the country, by inclosing the price to @. g..
