of over 1000 newspapers in
this country during the past
year, the loss to publishers,

amounting to $4,000, 600, the
Republic, Of New York, alone
being half 3 million. Among
those who went into the news
paper business and lost heavi-
~ thereby were 175 merchants

"Coleman's Rural World /"
says there is but one one course
to pursue if the people Of any
locality expect to attain a rea-
sonable degree of prosperity,
and that is, to adopt the plan
of buying nothing that they
can proftably produce them
selves. This is no new idea.
It is an old one. Over fifty
years ago, in the year 1919, a
few citizens of Cincinnati and
the vicinity formed a society
for the promotion of agricul
ture, manufactures and domes-
tic economy. General William
Fl. Harrison was elected presi-
dent of the society. At a meet
ing held on the 23d of August,
the following declaration,
grounded on the opinion that
a retrenchment in the expens-
es Of living would be an i'm
portant means of alternating
the difficulties and pecuniary
embarrassment of the country,
was adopted. It was as fol
lows, and possesses the merit
Of being equally well adapted
! to the present time as when it
was adopted, and is indicative
of the sterling common sense,
characteristic of the people at
the beginning of the present
century:
/ We will not purchase, fol
ourselves or our families, such
articles as are expensive, and
are generally considered az
ornamental rather than useful
We will abstain from the
use Of imported goods Of every
description as far as may be
practicab BILE; and we will give q
preference to articles that arr
of the growth and manufacture
of our own country, when the
latter can be procured.
We will not purchase any
articles, either Of food or dress
at prices that are considered
extravagant, or that the citi
! zens generally cannot afford tx
pay; but will rather abstain
/ from the use of such article.
n until they can be obtained q
reasonable prices.
We will observe a rigii
economy in every branch o
our expenditures, and will, il
all our purchases, be influenced
by necessity rather than con
venience, and by utility rathe
. than ornament.
t We believe that the pros
perity ofthe country depends
! on a general and faithful oh
servance Of the foregoing dec
laration-we therefore promis'
that we will adhere to it our
selves, and that we will recon
mend it to others.
And'that very thing worke,
as q giant in the building upo
5 Cincinnati's prosperity.

From the 81 Loais Rspablioanl

What is the duty Of a law
vert is a question that we
should like to have exhaust
lively discussed and decided
Is he bound to appear for any
client who may retain him2-|
IF so, are there no limitations
/ of his obligations to his client Z
Is he bound to earn his fee at
hazardss If he knows his
client to be a thief, is he, new
ertheless, bound to secure his
acquittal if he can? In the
case of a shyster-who, for a
good share of the money that
his client has stolen, manages,
through tricks of law and
pleading, to get him discharg-
ed-these questions may not
be considered very important;
but when this practice rises
and expands into the larger
proportions of defending the
great criminals who rob cities,
counties, states and the nation
al government, it acquires an
importance that must be recog-
nized. The people of New York
are beginningto make up their
minds that Boss Tweed will
have to be allowed to go free,
since their laws are incapable
Of holding him against his
lawyers. Nobody doubts his
guilt; even his attorneys would
hardly dare, on their oath, to
deny it. But Tweed is a great
criminal and has great lawyers
to defend him. He pays these
great lawyers great fees for de-
Tending him; Of this we may be
sure, for they would never de-
fend him without being well
paid for it. His leading coun-
sci, it is suggested, will come
of with half q million dollar
If he succeeds in getting bis
client free, and a New York
paper bitterly remarks that
David Dudley Field will come
to be the riches man in Amer
lean if he can have a few more
Jim Fisks and Boss Tweeds to
appear for. With arich crimi.
J nal to defend, a colossal fee to
earn, therefore, it will be
, strange if the counsel do mol
find some flaw in the code Of
the pleadings through which te
secure their clients release.
And here a striking likeness
: between the shystering which
: everybody detests and thu
great practice which every
