THE PRINTERS GOSPEL.

THE PRINTERS GOSPEL.
Charley Aldrich, in retiring from the
Marshall Times, talks the following com
mon sense to the business men of Mar
shalltown. 1t is just as applicable to any
other place:
In this connection we have word to
say to our business men in regard to job
Printing. Do not send your work of to
Chicago or elsewhere, but get it done at
home, even if it costs very small per
cent. more. That is the very life of a
local publishers business, and the s'sine rs
of war" upon which he sustains his paper.
If you cut him down there, you injure the
efficiency of his paper more than you can
know. You do not expect him, if he buys
an article of you, to higgle ard haggle
about your own small pro6ts-be equally
generous and cOnsiderate with him. We
always thought it almighty small bust
ness" for men to club together and send
off to New York City for their tea and
coffee, when these articles can be bought
SO reasonably at home and We do not
think much better of sending away for
few dollars worth of printing. Patron.
ize home enterprise as the surest means oil
building up your own. We can say this
freely, now that we cease to have per-
sonal interest in the matter, and we know
that there is no way that Marshalltown
can be SO certainly benefited rs by giving
these printing drummers from Chicago
ard Des Moines just the widest berth
possible. Business men, do not fail to
consider this

The ENGLISH vs.. THE AMERICAN TARIFF.
The present revenue from the radical
protective tariff exceeds $l8OOOO, 900 q
year in gold. Great Britain raises in the
same way revenue Of about $l10,O OO,.
600 in gold but while she taxes less than
twenty articles to yield this sum, and OBJ.
tains the most of It from the six luxuries,
coffee, tea, sugar, cocoa, wine, spirits,
and tobacco, we lay our tariff on more
than four thousand articles, many Of them Of
prime necessity, and others indispensable
ingredients in our great manufactures.
But nearly half of our revenue, like nine
tenths of the English, comes from FIVE or
six Injuries above named so that, in
point of fact, we lay our duties on four
thousand articles, many of which yield
little or no revenue, for the sake of getting
about SIS 900, 900 year. The New York
Evening Post estimates the value Of these
four thousand articles, in our market, ut
81 ,OOO, OOO, 600 year; our tariff on them
amounts, then, to less than tea per cent
on their market value, yet it enhances
their price from ten to q hundred per cent;
the average increase being probably no
less than forty per cent. That is to say, oil
this price Of 81 200, 200, 900, some $780,
100000 is the actual cost of the four
thousand articles; less than 500, 600, OOO
goes to the treasury, and more than $500,
DOC, 900 goes into the pockets of manu-
fscturers and dealers, who make the NOM
ey out Of the general public, and thus
keep up prices to their present unnatural
level.

Our bonds are selling in London at

A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Times Of the 18th inst, saws:

A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Times of the 18th inst, says:
WAsHlNGToy, Aug. l5.-Virginians,
who have been very hopeful OF the future
condition of affairs in that state since the
recent election, are now considerably de-
pressed at the reports that Gen. Candy
intends exacting the test oath from mem-
bers of the legislature, and giving the
seats of such as cannot take it to the
parties receiving the next highest number
of votes,-the result Of which will be the
election of two ultra radical senators from
Virginia. There is much uncertainty in
the State as to what action either the
presid, mt or Gen. Sherman will take in
these premises, but here it is asserted that
Sherman, from military respect to Grants
official superiority, will long hesitate,
despite his wellknown conservatism, to
venture a remonstrance against this action
of Gen. Candy. The presidents anxiety
to secure q place in the United States
senate from Virginia for his brother in
law, DR.. Sharpe, who is now marshal Of
this district, is no secret, and it is charged
that his Discrimination to protect the people
of Virginia in their legitimate rights,
resulting from the elective franchise, is
partly due to his anxiety to place Sharpe
in the senate. Gen. Candy and L. II.
Chandler are spoken of by the radicals for
the other senatorship.

coNfuc,us AND THE GIRLS.

coNFUciUs AND THE GIRLS.
Confucius, who is as highly esteemed
by our 400, 900 900 of Chinese as Jesus
among Christians, was born $40 years
before Christ, and died All B. G. at the
age of seventy-three. The empire was
divided into provinces called Kingdoms.
Confucius found that interest, avarice,
ambition, Discrimination, false policy,
pleasure and luxury reigned at all these
little courts. He undertook to Danish
these vices, aud began to preach and to
practice the virtues of modesty, disinter-
estedness, sincerity, equity, temperance
and the contempt Of riches and pleasures.
He rose to distinction, and though Offices
were urged upon him, he refused to ac>
cept, in order that he might not be diver.
ted from his great work. At length,
having made so good ON impression upon
the court ofthe kingdom of Loo, in which
he resided, he accepted ON Office in the
administration.
He succeeded so thoroughly in reform
ing the king and his court, as well as the
people at large, that the jealousy and
alarm of neighboring kings were greatly
excited. "Among these" says the Chin
ese historian, "the King Of Tsi was most
alarmed. He held several councils with
his principal ministers, and after frequent
deliberations it was concluded that, under
pretense of an embassy, they should make
present to the King of Loo and to the
grandees Of his court Of great number
of young girls Of extraordinary beauty,
who had been instructed from their infan.
cy in singing and dancing, and were
possessed Of all those charms that were
likely to please and captivate the heart.
The stratagem succeeded. The King
his court and the grandces gave themselves
up to the entertainment Of the girls, ard
devoted themselves more to the invention
of new diversions for them than to the
administration Of the State. Confucius
demonstrated and tried to bring them back
to sobriety, simplicity and virtue, but in
vain. He threy up his Office in disgust
and left his native country for other PEG
pie more ft to relish and practice his
maxims.
The influence of the girls is considera-
BILE to this day, even in our own country
The greatest of philosophers was SO fairly
beaten by them that he was compelled to
consider oil as lost for the Kingdom OIL

A st. Louis telegram says that leading
citizens of that place are "noac determined
that no more prize-aghting shall be done
IN that vicinity 1t would have done
more credit to the leading citizens if they
had come to that mination some years

exhibitions might have added to the preva-

vastly aided its progress in civilization.

SAVED His WHIPPING.-A little urchin
seven or eight years old, in one of our
schools where Miss Blodgett was
teacher, composed the following and wrote
it on his slate at prayer time to the great
amusement of the boys:
"A little mouse ran up the stairs,
To hear Miss Blodgett say her prayers"
The teacher discoveredthe rhyme and
called out the culprit For a punishment
she gave him his choice to make another
rhy me in five minutes, or be whipped. So
after thinking and thinking, and scratch
ing his head, till his time was nearly out,
and the teacher was lifting the stick in o
threatening manner, at the last moment
he exclaimed
"Here stand before Miss Dl,dgett,
She's going to strike and I'm going dodge It,.
He was sent to his seat.

Hence we see that the duty is 40 per ct.
on blankets, add therefore so per cent.
more than on champagne.
Our tariff makers have further come to
the conclusion that common woollen un-
dershirt, worn by the working classes, is
81 per cent. more of luxury than the de-
licious grape juice known as champagne.
Here are facts: A dozen woollen under,
shirts, weighing 6 lbs, cost, in England,
$3.50, gold.
Duty thereon, 6 lbs; at so cents
