Last week, while the tariff bill was
under discussion in the committee of
the whole in the House, on motion OF
Mr.. Butler, of Mass, the tariff on pig
iron was placed at five dollars per ton.
This, Of course is not final, but it gives
great comfort to the British interests.
Hear the Columbus Journal:
"The Pig Iron Infant has been colicky since
Tuesday, The duty ON pig iron was reduced in
Committee of the Whole from nine dollars per
ton under the present tariff, TO five per ton. This
diminishing the diameter of the stream OF pap
makes the infant bawl. Kelley in pteouS sheet
iron-thunder tones declares that unless the sup
| ply Of sustenance from the government is In
| creased, the sucking cannot survive. This Is
! narrowing Let us all bathe our faces and feet
| In tearsW
We had some talk with some of the
iron manufacturers in this county since
the above action took place in Congress.
One of them said that if the measure
became law, in less than a year it
would be all trade at the furnaces--that
no money could be paid to the hands.
Another was in favor Of paying cash,
and reducing the wages to correspond.
This, it was generally thought, would
be impracticable. The general feeling
appeared to be, that the furnaces must
stop. The owners say that is folly to
use up timber and ore, when no profit
can be made, and it would pay better
to save the stock until the people learn
wisdom by experience.
We ask the laboring men of Jackson
county to look at the deVilish spirit
manifested by tho British Journal, as
above quoted. 1t mocks at the distress
which is inevitable. Contemplate for
one moment the distress which would
result from a stoppage Of our dozen
furnaces. Last year a million dollars
was paid directly for labor in the iron
business in Jackson county, and thous-
ands of persons received a comfortable
support from the same. Stop all this,
and what will be the result Cheap
iron, howl the demagogues. The far
mer, who now sells all his produce for
high price, right at home, must have
his market cut Off-destroyed, that he
may save 81 l-2 cents per year in the
cost Of hoe or a pitchfork. That is
what he will gain.
We shall have no tears to shed for
the men who go into the laborlng mems
foolery, and all such schemes but we
do sympathizc with their helpless FAM
lilies. God pity the innocent women
and children. We would like to see
men who have no more sense than to
vote the bread out OF their mouths, have
to sit idle until the seats of their trows-
ers are as threadbare as their brains;
but we do feel for those who suffer in
nocently for the folly of those who
should protect them.

1t will be seen that the late Demo
cratic Town Council transferred $500
Of the Fire Fund to the Corporation
Furd Where did they get authority
to do this! Section 5, Article l2, oi
the constitution OF the State of Ohio
says:
mo tax shall be levied, except in
pursuance of law and every law i'm
posing a tax shall state distinctly the
object of the same, TO which only il shall
Be applied"
In order to carry out the above pro-
visions of the con stitution as applicable
to Municipal Corporations, the Legisla-
ture, in chapter 50, section 67l Of the
Municipal Code, makes it a penal Of
fense to divert the money borrowed, or
arising from the sale Of bonds. And
in chapter So, section SIS, it is made
like otfense to divert other moneys
from the purposes provided by law.
We give this section, to show in what
position the members of the late Coun-
oil have placed themselves:
"SEc. 675. If any member of cOun-
Gil, or officer of the corporation, shall
knowingly diOert or appropriate The taa
or sinking fund raised under this act,
TO any other purpose than that to tohich il i,
6yhis act appropriated, he shall, on con.
viction, bo fined in any sum not less
than one hundred dollars nor more than
one thousand dollars, or imprisoned in
the county Jail not less than twenty
days nor more than six months, or both,
at the discretion of the court"

The Pittsburg Gazette makes a strong
point when, speaking ofthe results Of
low tariff system on capital and labor
1t says:
ave tell the workmcn Of Pittsburg that the
wealthy owners ofall these forges mills would
speedily find their own profit In the Inauguration
comprehend the working ofthe lmmutable prin-
cples of trade-while 1t X the operative, classes
that alone would eventually suffer"
Wehave seen large factories, mills, and
forges, stand idle, fireless and tenant
less for months, and in several cases for
year, because the tariff laws rendered
impossible for their owners ito carry
them on without loss even to bankrupt
cy. The capitalist sees the coming evil
and hides himself from it, by stopping
his business the very moment he cannot
carry it on with profit. He can hire a
walchman to guard his buildings and
machinery and wait until altered condi-
tions shall enable him to resume. But
with the wOrkmen the case is very diff.
ferent. When work stops, the giant
WOll VI lauIHOf uhhCuuCSa huu buuClluSS
howls at HIS doors and glares with ra-
pacious eyes at his wife and little ones.
With the stoppagO of our industrial
establishments there is loss to both the
capitalist aud the hborer, but the weight
ofthe burden lies on the latter. TLe
cry of the free trader that the tariff tax
es on certain articles of finery or luxury
which a few working people desire to
buy is oppressive, has no force. Pro-
teCiion gives remunerative employment
to the working man as we'll asprofts to
he capitalist. The capitSlist is no more
bound to carry on his work at loss than
the mechanic is 10 work without wages.
A reve nue. tariff means cessation to
manufactures, bankruptcy to merchants
low prices of produce TO farmers, ten
antless houses to landlords, and distress
and want to the industrious operatives
of the land. Let the working men Of
the country understand the real inter-
ests at stake in this matter.

To the Editor Q(the Jackson Standard:
DEAR SIIs--We had the pleasure on Monday
evening, the 18th inst, of attending School Ex-
hibtion given by w. G: Jones and pupils, at DIR,
A. s. Combs Hall. The hall was crowded by the
parents and the friends of the children, and 9TH
ers, which indicates that there is interest mani
tested In the elevation and editication OF the
youth, morally, intellectually and spiritually, in
the village of Centreville. The exercises COM
menced at O'Clock, p. m by vocal and instrl-
mental music, under the superindence of the
teacher. The music was new and delightful,
The Declamations Dialogues and Tableaux, were
entirely new, rich racy, moral, and instructive.
MIR. Jones has taught two terms here In success
sion, and mas proven q successful instructor. He
Is II devoted, Jealous and experienced teacher.
The impressions that he has made on the minds
of our children will be- we hope, lasting. May
success crown his efforts hereafter Is the wish
of n SPECTATOR.

Some months ago We spoke about the
expedition Of Lewis and Clark, in
18O4-6, from st. Louis to the Pacific
Ocean, and how we were interested in
reading the Journal of that expedition,
written by one of the men, Patrick
Gass. That book was given to our
brother, by our mothers brother, Ma
thaniel Kimberlin, of Mason county,
Virginia. The old Journal has long
been worn out and gone. We would
pay almost any price if we could get
another.
We are exchanging with the West
Virginia Nc'Os, published at Ravens
wood, Jackson county, West Virginia,
and in the last issue of that paper we
found the following, which revived
many personal rccOlleCtions of the old
Journal:
DIED-In Brooke county, West Va. on Satur-
day morning April 2nd, 1870 Patrick Gass, in
the Goth year of his age.
The subject OF the above notice lived near
Wellsburg, Brooke county the greater part OF his
life. lie was with Lewis and ClaTk's exploring
eXpidltlon across the Rocky Mountains. lie lost
one OF his eyes In the war Of 1912, and has for
many years drawn pension At the age OF 20
years he married q lady much his Junior, and
has left family Ofchildren all OF whom are liv-
ing except tho eldest. When 9T years old, he
united with the Disciples church ut Wclsburg.
At the last Presidential election he voted the
Republican ticket, although he was nearly all
his life Democrat. He was a man OF strict in
tegrity and was possessed OF many social virtues
and attractions. He kept Journal of his trip
across the Rocky Mountains which we believe
was some yJaTs ago published In book form.
We condense the above mainly from q COM
munlcatlon to the Pan Handle Nelcs of the Sth
Inst. which paper In substance, remarks editor
tally that II was only after Mr. GaSs' mind be-
came seriously affected, that the radicals got hold
OF him, and induced him TO vote their ticket.
However that might have been, we think his
last vote was his best.
