the TYPE SWINDLE.-On our first page We
reprint the views of a couple of leading Cali
fornia papers in relation to the bill now before
congress providing for aprohibitory tariff upon
the importation of type Printers and news
papers every where should unite in an earnest
protest against the passage Of tl.is bill. For
years the printers and publishers were heeced
by score Of America type founders, who
formed close monopoly and exacted outrage
ous prices from all those who were compelled
to purchase their type Recently this monopo-
ly has been crushed ont, and a result prin-
tiers have very generally bought the imported
type as being both better and cheaper than that
furnished by the mouopo!;sts. Defeated in open
market, the monopolists have now gone to
Congress and are endeavoTins to smuggle
through a bill that will again place every prin-
ter and publisher in the country ct their mercy.
At the most there is not to exceed one dozen
typc fomdries in tie Uuited States, and to en-
| able the owners of this one dozen establishments
| to .row rich it is proposed to tax the thousands
of printing establishments scattered all overthe
Land. A tax of this character is a tax upon
the dissemination of knowledge, and should be
resisted by every friend of popular education.
| At best printers are poorly paid class, and
certainly they should not be taxed for the
| benefit of a score of type founders who III
their day OF power ruled the eprintins fraternity
| with an iron hand. Let us have free trade II
printing material, and then if the American
type founders are unable TO sustain themselves
| let them go to the wall. In this country We
want no privileged class, and least OF all ci:sS'
maintained by !, tax upon the g .rt prcSeryaIire

SEWING MAcHINEs.-Seyeral months s;nce

SEWING MACHINES. Several months since
Mr.. A. l. Davis, a practical machinist,
opened a shop on Main street, near Fourth,
exclusively for the repair of sewing machines,
and from the first was crowded with work.
He has in store all the various parts of ma
chinery that are liable to wear, and In ali
cases where the cog wheels are broken he is
enabled to replace the same, thus avoiding
the loss of time and expense of sending be-
low. Such an establishment Is a convenience
and We are pleased to learn that Mr.. Davis
is well patronized. In addition to repairing
machines, Mr.. Davis has taken the agency
for the sale of the White sewing machines,
pronounced by competent judges to be supe-
riOr to all other machines now in the market,
The advantages claimed for the White sew
ing machine are enumerated as follows:
l. 1t is the ighest running shuttle sewing
machine.
2. 1t has more capacity and power than
any other family sewing machine
c' ~ - NV Soiii iphAS<soSo WIN gears EOT
large cams.
4. 1t is the simplest and best constructed
machine.
5. Its working parts are case-hardened
iron or steel, and so arranged that any wear
can be taken up simply by the turn of a
screw.
6. 1t has . steel feed on both sides of the
needle
J. Its shuttle is comparatively sell. thread
ing, made of solid steel, and carries larger
bobbin than almost any other family sewing
machine
s. Its works are all encased and free from
dust, and so arranged that neither the gar
ment being sewed, nor the operator, will be-
come oiled,
g. 1t has device by which bobbins can
be filed without running the entire machine,
thereby relieving it from wear for this pur-
pose, as also relieving the operator Of the
necessity of removing the work or attach
ments, as is the case in nearly all other
machines.
10. 1t is elegantly yornamentcd and finished,
and its cabinetwork is unsurpassed.
The result of this combination is the
white" is the easiest-running, the most
durable, the cheapest, best apd largest family
sewing machine in the world
