IN the process of forming stamped tin
ware fiat sheets of metal are placed in
powerful presses and forced by means Of
dies into shape. This shaping process

making the ware bright and new, The
ware 20 he rcplated is dipped into caid-
ron of boiling tallow, so hot that the origi-
nal tin plating is softeucd mp and melted

Tho Indians are not ON the de-

ia not surprising when it is remem-
bered that every child that is born is
entitled to his 100 acres and full m

The more children m Indian has the
richer he is Gradually tho Indians
will affiliate with the white race, like

A DEFENCE OF THE PRESS.
Mr.. b. F PETwAY'S LOGICAL AR
GUMENT ON NEWSPAPERS.

The Newspaper a potent factor
in clyiliz ition.
will not attempt to discuss this
question in all its bearings; it is a
subject SO comprehensive in nature
aud detail, so general, and covers
completely so much space, that to
discuss it freely would probabl tax
nay limited ability beyond its en-
durauce and take more of time than
you would care to give. The least
unconcerned of us have some idea,
even if vague aud undefined, of the
general character aud influence of
the modern newspaper. We know
too that any agent that plays an E.
qually imortant part in the church,
home or state, in Legislative or bus
inesS affairs must of necessity be of
a widespread character, for in the
above name is comprised all the
arts and sciences that so signally
mark the age OF civilization.
The press is the connecting link
that binds the Inhabitants of Maine
to the citizens of FloI ida, the deni-
zens Of the sun-kissed valleys OF
California with the dwellers OF the
Atlantic coast. 1t is the public
pulse that vibrates with each pass
ing event. The newspaper is pow
er, but power unrestrained can be as
destructive as it is beneficial. The
elements fire and water are two OF
the most powerful agents of natures
forces and when restrained and
held in their proper bounds become
valuable assistants to civilization :;
aud so the newspaper when its aim
is to benefit the world, morally or
intellectually, when it seek to ele-
vate the race of mankind every.
where, when it uses its great power
in bringing about reforms and
measures necessary for the happl-
ness of a nation or community,
when it places before its readers
knowledge of a wholesome kind; it
is then a powerful agent for good !;
an essential and valuable help to
church, home or state. But when
its great liberty is mistaken for Ii.
cense, when instead of being the
voice of pure morals, honor and
truth, it becomes the mouthpiece
of vice and obscurity, when it is on
the side of vrQng rather than right,
with the oppressor rather than op-
pressed, when its pages are filled
With lies instead of the truth, then
it is th at the newspaper is a power
for evil rather than good, then it is
liknnnd- -nHta-tLn-p -pae.pairad- ole
ments Of fire and water, but more
deadly in its effect.
