The Tweedocrats say nothing
in their platform this year for the
comfort Of the farmer aud nothing
about cheap transportation. They
give utterance to no word OF
pain or sympathy for the soldier but
weep over their Southern friends.
They utter not word about the
law regulating railroads, but propose
to repeal that other law which reg
ulates the sale of their beloved
whiskey. They care nothing for the
school laws and tax laws, but are
opposed to Sunday laws and the
National banking law.

from jefferson, said he was not sat

could not be choked of without dis
cussion upon this subject; but for the
sake Of harmony they were willing to
take the platform as 1t came from the
committee, without name.
Mr.. Van Meter, of Humboldt said
"The name makes no difference.
The opposite will give ua some epi-
thet by which we aoiH have 10 go,

Mr.. Parrolt, OF Clarke, said this
wasa cowardly proposition and :" II
we adopt any such shutting device,
we will have TO go home and receive

THE BUSINESS DEPRESSION

THE BUSINESS DEPRESSION
Which has been affecting this country
for about two years is now affecting busi'
ness interests in Great Britain. The
stagnation there is severe, and has been
for some time, causing numerous busi-
ness failures. The commerce between
the two countries is seriously affected, as
well as the internal trade in both coun-
tries. The labor classes earn less, and
consequently buy less, and, in this way
fewer things are bought and sold. The
result in trade is less-the demand for
manufactures of all kinds becomes less
and stagnation follows.
1t is not likely these disorders will con-
tinue for a long period. 1t is true, how
ever, as yet the better times are not here,
in full fruiton. Our export and import
trade at New York do not, as yet, indi'
cate the return and healthful and pros
porous business action. For the first fif-
teen weeks of this year the value of the
exports from New York has been $685.,
100000, against $73, 800, 900 in 1874, and
SOC, 400, 900 in 1878. The value of the
imports for the same period has been
s1o6, ,ooo, 900, against $I2I ,7oo;oooin 1874
and $I27 ,2oo, 900 in 1873. AS compared
with 1874, the falling off in both imports
and exports is about one-eighth.
The statistics of great Britain show a
similar result. In 1873 the exports Of
British produce and manufactures were
to the value of $I72. goo, 900; in 1874
sISS, soo, 900, and 1873, for the same
period, $2o3, 100, 900. Of course there is
a great decline in British imports in con-
sequence of this--for, if Great Britain
does not sell she cannot and will not buy
We hope we have about touched bottom

THE Repository ISLANDERS against Joseph
Rigler, of which we suppose Schaefer
to have been the real author, had their
influence in defeating Mr.. Rigler for
Marshal. A journal that will descend to
such infamy may find it serviceable and
profitable for time, but, in the end, it
never pays. In journalism, as in all
other walks of private life, the truthful,
straightforward way is the best "Hon-
esty is the best policy" and truth is the
only safe guide.
Neighbor Bascom may be wiser if he
lives long enough. He may discover
that making himself the instrument and
vehicle for "viperous slander," and the
tool of a selfish specimen of ape human
ity, will in no wise pay in the end. Mons

AN INNOCENT" ABROAD.
BUTLER COUNTY "CONFTDENCEDj
AGAIN,

A Butler county, Penna., farmer NAM
ed Samuel Miller, called at the Mayors
office yesterday morning and related a
melancholy story of a recent mishap'
He owns fine farm near McCandlesS.
Butler county, Penna. About two weeks
ago two strangers called at his house and
represented to Mr.. Miller that they were
stock dealers. They moreover told Mr..
M. that farming was slow way to make
money; that he should take hand in
their business; that in certain specula-
tons in which they we're engaged they
had realized thousand dollars in sin
gle day. They proposed to buy Mr..
Miller's farm, offering him $50 per acre,
and take him into their speculations.
The farmer wanted 500 per acre for his
land, and therefore no sale was made.
But the strangers had succeeded in i'm
pressing the farmer with the belief that
Specializing in stock was good thing.
The result was an arrangement between
the parties that when the strangers had
another good thing they would advise
Mr.. Miller by telegraph, and he was to
be on hand promptly with money. The
good thing" was ready Wednesday, and
the farmer borrowed $500 at bank in
Butler and met the spectators at the
West Pennsylvania depot, in Allegheny,
The strangers, who gave their names as
7. K. Williams and James Pitts, received
the farmer cordially, escorted him over
the bridge to a saloon on Sixth street.
when, after drinking beer, they proceed
ed to business. Pitts asked Miller how
much money he had. The roll was pro-
duced and duly counted, when Mr.. 2.
put il in his pocket Then they took a
walk to look after the stock. When they
were crossing the Mechanic street bridge
Pitts took a roll Of money from his pock-
ct and handed it to Miller; saying, 81
don't think we can give you an interest
in those stocks; you havnt money
enough" Mr. Miller placed the roll in
his pocket, and Pitts accompanied him
to the West Penn depot and bought him
a return ticket remarking that as they
had been the cause of his coming down
to the city, it was only right that they
should pay his fare back. Thanking Mr..
Pitts for his generosity, Mr.. Miller board
ed the train and returned to his farm.
When nearly home he thought he would
lust take look at his money to see if it
was all right. The roll" contained Just
seven dollars FIVE dollar note on one
side and two on the other The pad
ding" consisted of large number of
slips Of blank paper cut to the size Of the
notes. The detectives are at work on
the case, but are without the slightest
clue.-Ptfts6Hygh COMMERCIAL

April, 1875" In the absence of the
President, Speaker Blaine responded in
a patriotic speech. "Paul Revere's Ride"
was toasted, and a grandson of Revere
was called out. Senator Boutwell, re-
sponded to toast and was followed by
Governors Ingersoll, of Connecticut
Peck, Of Vermont, and Dingley, of Maine.
George William Curtiss responded for
Rhode Island, and General Hawley for
Connecticut. Judge Hoar made an ad.
dress, and to close, read letter from
Frederick Douglas, which breathed the
true spirit Of the occasion. This brought
the exercises to a close.
During the delivery of the speeches
the day gradually grew colder and the
people slowly deserted the pavilion, un-
til by the end of the after dinner cere-
monies there were not one hundred peo-
pie present. During the afternoon ali
the visiting companies departed sO al TO
reach home early tomorrow, and by six
o'clock the Village assumed someWha OF
deserted appearance, when compared
with the thirty thousand within its lin
its at noon. The crushing and crowding
at the cars was simply indiscribable.
In the evening a grand ball was given
in Agricultural Hall, which was beauti.
fully decorated for the occasion. The
President and some of his party made
their appearance about half past ten and
were the centre of attraction. The scene
was very brilliant one. A supper was
served at midnight, and the great day,
with its crowd and wealth of ceremony,
was over.
Boston, April 19.-At Acton, Mass,
guns were fired and bellsrung at sunrise,
noon and sunset, in celebration of the
centennial. The monument erected to
the memory of Davis, Hayward and Hos
mer, who fell in the Concord fight, was
appropriately decorated. DR.. G. B. Lor-
ing delivered an address in the evening,
and ball closed the events of the day.
Arlington was decorated with flags and
notices, and salutes were fred and bells
ruDg
, At Manchester, N. H., salute of one
hundred guns was fred. Many of the
adjoining towns made an extraordinary
display Of bunting. The sky was one OF
universal celebration throughout East
erh Massachusetts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson made an ad-
dress on unveiling the statue of the
Minute Man" at Concord.
New York, April 19.-The flags on City
Hall, the newspaper offices, the hotels.
and greater number of large business
houses down town were at full mast to-
day in honor of Lexington and Concord
One hundred guns were fred at Syracuse
in honor of the day.
