4 STORY WITH A MoRALr-A story
is told of a Frcuch gentleman, who,
having lost the bulk of his property
through the rascalities of friends in
whom he trusted. crowned it al. ty the
loss of his mental balance, and for th.
remainder of his days found his only
delight in riding IN omnibuses and
passing fares from passengers to tho
driver, taking care when change was
returned to add to 1t sou or TWO from
his own pocket, and watch the effects
on the receiver. Id nine cases out of
ten, as the story goes, the passenger
eoudting over his change, aud finding,
as he supposed, that the driver had
heated himself, would look bewildered,
for moment, and then rocket the
change with quiet chuckel. The
special delight of the lunatio was in
satisfying himself in this way that
ninc-tenths of his fellow men were
dishonest, if they only Tad the opror.

THE FARMERS, MOVEMENT.
The Tariff Question.

Ross, Lake Co, Ind Adril %, 1873.
to tile Editor ofMe Chicago TriJuue.
Sir: The attempt on the part of q
portion of the Western press to dis
courage and stop discussion on tho
tariff will be as futile as the effort of
Mrs. Partington with her broom to
sweep back the Atlantic. The far
mers of the West will not stop at rail>
read mo- opoly, bat the whole brood Of
vampires that are eating out the vitals
of the honest industry of the nation
will receive the same searching igVes>
tigatIon. Tine will soon show this.
The plea is. we Farmers Will become
divided if the tariff is brought in.
Rest in patience, you disinterested
friends The great public mind of
the West is growing up to to the
occasion its vision is expanding, and
can see, in tracking up one monopoly
that one is but the tyin brother Of the
other. A few advanced thinkers
could see all this, and have expected
that this F." Farmers question " would
have started sooner than it has. A
few months ago, very many eould see
nothing wrong in the monopoly and
extortion of the railroads, and now see
things very differently; apa so with
the tariff. That class Of papers that
have rroiessed great regard lor the
interests Of their party, but have, in
fact, more care for sustaining the pres
ent tariff legislation Of the country,
baye always heretofore labor d hard o
make it appear, especially during the
last few years, that the country was
never so prosperous, and that every
thing was lovely These to day are
the very ones tAat are determined
that the tariff question shall nos te

AT the close of the late session OF
the Pennsylvania Legislature the
Assembly passed a resolution, in a
spirit of derision, asking Col. Mcclure
to, come over from the Senate and
address them on the subject of Reform.
Col. Mcclure, contrary to expectation,
accepted the invitation. and talked to
them in a manner which the men bers
will not be likely to forget. lie told
them TO their faces that he had never
known Of body of men, past or
present, so thoroughly given up to
individual and official profigacy. He
pointed out that there were many mem
Iers who had never been elected, and
some Who had not even been nomina-
ted, to the places they held. He
reminded them that he had sent In
reform measures all during the session
which were voted down with yell as
as fast as tha r-lts wonld permit. He
charged item with creating and
mulGp ying local Offices to which they
hoped and proposed to retire Family.
he found but one act Of tie session
which could meet with the approval Of
the people, and that was the vote TO
adjourn. The Legislature even passed
an act calculated to defeat, by means
beot known to Pennsylvania politicians
the safeguards that will be offered to
the people by the Constitutional Con-
vention upder the act authorizing the
Convention, it was decreed that their
work should be voted upon
by the people next October. This
would determine the acceptance or
rejection of the new Constitution be-
fore the next session Of the Legislature
and would leave the politicians no
power to defeat the rcsul, if il should
happen to be distasteful to them. The
Legislature, therefore, passed an act
providing that the returns shall be
sealed, and neither opened nor counted ID
before the conveniny of the next
Legi, llture, and then in their presence
This Legislature was chosen in the
year Of the Presidential elections.
Mr. Forney made an effort to defeat it
without prejudice to the national issue.
The other party leaders of the State
held that this could not be done, and
proceeded to carry the election by fraud
| Mr. Forney now rencws his pIell for
the coming year, when there is no
| Presidential election and no party
| interests to be aft cted. Bat he COM
mits the same error Of confuing the
movement for reform within the limits
Of his own State. 1t is not possible tc

at the same time work earnes.l .ly and

" Stiok toeethcr,' is the motto of our
good party man. "Fall apart" is the
adjuratiou of Mr. Forncy. Mr.. For
nry tried to r,inm inside the party
last year, and failed. If he tries again
this year on the sare plan, he vii
fail again. The interests of the Re
publican party of Pennsylvania are
common so far as that State is concern
cd, and sooner or later the Pennsylya-
MIA Republicans who desire the reform
of the State will iud it SO. Mr.
Forney has gone too far for party MAI
