The Tariff.

CONGRESSMAN BROOKS, Of New
York, in closing his speech on the Ia
riff, few days ago, said that if no one
else could be found TO undertake the
task, "he would mount pedler's wagon,
anu go through the agricultural districts
exhibiting hoe. plow, an axe, a
shovel, trace-chain, knife and fork,
with other articles. and demonstrate to
the eyes of the people the unjust, the
enormous, the wicked taxation siat is
imposed upon them by the existing
tariffs"

nay understand the extent of the tax

The Democrats of Marshall county are
notified that their central committee hare
ordered that delegate convention be
held at Plymouth, on Saturday, June
18th, 1870, for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidates for the Offices to be
filed at the next general election.
The number of delegate votes to
which each township in said county will
be entitled in said convention is based
upon the vote cast for governorin 1868,
and is as follows:

power on the most unequlVOcal plcdSeS
on their own part, of enforcing, strictly,
all ordinances SO long as they remained
in force; and that when an ordinance
was found to be illegal, or it's enforce
ment impracticable, it should be re,
pealed so that there should be no "dead
letter" laws on our statute books. We
do not believe there is q member Of the
town government who will attempt a
denial Of this statement. And in order
that the provisions of all the ordinances
might be made applicable to the then
existing order of things, general re-
vision of all the ordinances was made
by the attorney, and printed Sin two
cities at great expense, that their
pledges of enforcement might be carried
out to the letter Now, the revised. en-
larged, corrected, printed ard reprinted
edition Of the book of ordinances" has
been in full and undisputcd force since
June, 1869, and we therefore have a
fair opportunity to judge of the
manner in which the positive pledge
for their enforcement has been full
filled.
Passing over the ordinances for the
construction and repair of sidewalks, to
enforce which there has not even been
an attempt made, we come to para
graph in section 5, which says: "Nor
shall any person ride or drive any horse
or team on or across any bridge in said
town, at faster gate than a walk" the
penalty for violation being fine Of not
less than one nor more than FIVE dollars
for each offense 1t would probably be
safe estimate to say that there have
been not less than twenty-five viola.
tions of this ordinance every day since
it went into effect 1t Is needless to say
that there has not even been so much
as an attempt to enforce it.
Next We come to section II, which
we copy in full:
1t shall be unlawful for the owner or
any person having the care or custody
of any swine, horse, mule, or ass, to per-
NIT the same to run at large within the
corporate limits of said town; and any
person who shall be guilty of violation
of this ordinance, shall, on conviction
before any competent court, on COM
plant made on oath, be fined in any
sum not less than three nor more than
ten dollars for each and every day they
permit such stock to run Mt large, to be
prosecuted as for a misdemcanor
Need we say that not even an attempt
has been made to enforce any part of
this ordinance? About 1000 hogs are
daily subsoiling the streets and alleys.
Section 13 says "No dog shall be per-
mitted to run at large within the corpo-
rate limits of said town without being
muzzled, between the first days of April
and November" Probably five hun.
dred violations of this ordinance occur
daily.
And so on through the entire list OF
ordinances, the violations are so plain
that even the members of the corpora.
ton government do not deny them.
But there is one provision on the
book of ordinances which the official,
have be careful to see enforced, and
that is to draw three dollars per session
for trustee services, while all prcviou:
officers of the same grade never received
more than one dollar and-a-half. 1hi.
ordinance has been enforced with
pronptness and fidelity Let the board
of trustees be credited accordingly.

price it will bring when the now Drop Is
