Sunday School Picnic.

On Saturday last the Universalist
Sunday School, of Eaton, held a Pic
Mic at the Fair Grounds. 1t had been
the intention to have held the Picnic
in the woods Immediately south of
Pryor's new Fountain well, and invi-
tations had been extended to TIE 9TH
CT Sunday Schools of the town, and
to those of the Universalists of the
neighboring towns, but owing to the
unpropitious weather on Saturday
morning, it was thought best to
change the place to the Fair Grounds,
which was accordingly done, and the
picnic was held as above stated.
The rain greatly interfered with the
success of the Picnic, so far as the
attendance was concerned, the num-
Der on the ground at nc one time be-
ing very large, though visitors were
coming and going all through the
day, and in the aggregate made a
large number who did attend. 1t
was the intention to unite profit and
pleasure in the enterprisc-the profits
for the Church, and the pleasure for
the people. The ladies who had the
refreshment tables in charge, did eve
ry thing that could be done to make
the profits large, and we were in
formed that considering the state of
the weather, they did well. We know
they deserved pecuniary success. To
add to the pleasure which children
and adults alike enjoy from a free
romp in the woods, there was good
by the Choir--a half dozen
interesting and entertaining speech
es-good swings-Croquet on the
training track, &C., &C., and all closed
in harmony and good feeling.
We hope that the next Picnic Civ
en- by this society. may be held on a
more propitious day, and that the
may then have the financial
success they SO well deserve.

Facts for the Patrons Of Husbandry
to Consider.

While we all admit that legislation
is necessary concerning railroad
freights, we must not lose sight ofthe
fact that behind this there is a mon
ster that is more oppressive than the
railroad, and one that has in a great
measure. helped the rail road to place
its iron heel on the necks of the pro-
ducers. We refer to tho onerous Ia
riff that III people i compelled to
pay to Eastern monopolies, and this
combined with the rail roads tends to
reduce the farmer each year to pow
erty. .
Now to show him how he is plum
dered by this tariff, we present the
following for him to look at, and then
he will begin to realize. Aowg he is de-
frauded, and believe thatin order to
receive protection he must cut loose
from the old political parties, and put.
men of his own class into power to
io0ielafa for him . sst .s

Thus you can sec that out of over
a$197, expended for the necessary cloth
ing for your family you pay $6l,5o of
a tax, MOTTO The government, but to

stoned by law upon the Farmers, and
that law made blythe present Radical
party in powert Thus in the pur-
chase of q little bill of goods by our
farmers to the amount of $500 they
nav tithes to the manufacturers Of
1851, so; or, to make it more plain, they
have to sell 214 bushels o ftwenty five
cen corn to raise money to pay this
Republican, tax! If this money went
into the treasury, it would not work
such a hardship ; but it does not, and
no sound man will for amoment con-
tend that if does.
The above table does not cover all
the items on which the farmers are
forcedzto pay tariff on. lie has to pay
an average tax of so per cent. on ev-
cry implement of iron that he uses
on his horse shoes, On his wagon tires
and his plows on every screw, bolt,
nail, or rod of iron /; he pays the same
tax on his tin and copper-ware; on
his cook-stoYe and pipe; on. his glass
and crockery ware; on his cutlery
on his carpet, land on his salt, lumber,
vinegar and mustard, on nearly all
that he eats, drinks and wears, except
what he. raises himself; and about
fifty cents on every dollar he expends
is paid over asa special bounty to
monopolies.Hho have obtained from
Congress the special privilege of TAX
ing other peoples property and earn
ings without consideration. Here is
a practical grievance that can be rem
edied at the bailot-box by the farm
ers, and only by them. ThenIet the
Preble county farmers discuss this
with other grievances; let them make
a charge upon the whole matter at
once through the ballot, Let all who
are anxious for relief unite upon this
question and press forward until the
enemy are driven from their strong
hold by honest, upright Legislators,
men from among you and of you,
who know your wants and who you
can rely upon for them.
