The Tariff and the Fishermen
Again.

W" hear IT stated that We made Il
misstatement in our article last week
il regards to the tariff on gilling Irvine.
We ave glad to know that it has arOu
ed some to reading and thinking on the
subject as il will be beneficial to all
concerned. We stated that the present
tariff on gilIing Irvine is now 40 per
cent. al valorrm as classified under
Ajax thread or twiue." and the NJ lis
bill proposes to reduce it to - per. cent.
Ouralteniiun has been call, tOaclauSc
in the present law which says '%'seines
and seine and giliImg Irvine, - per cent.
ad valuIem," which the Mills bill leaves
AT the present rate.
We did not intend to deceive OF mis-
lead any one to make polical capital.
We intend to keep to the RECORD's
motto, "Maimtaiu The Right" We be-
lieyp even mai honest in his political
convictions and intends to vote for
what he thinks Ia he hest for the people
and his country. We hold that ii ii
party cannot gam an election without
false misrepresentation II should be de
feated. We are not one OF those who
believe that there is no good in MAJ
aTerl," hut sometimes We GO so deep
IN the political mrre that We hate I" ac-
Knowledge it, and sometimes will not,
when We know we mr IN the wrong
WI hope We ale not one of those.
Now for the tariff. Every one would
he led to think We we're wrong. Under
the present law ii is supposed that the
cheaper and poorer quality ot tlaX
threads are used to make Sliad nets,
winch is not the cast. The very lin, -
and best of Irvine made tIon the ha'
iuSh ilaX is used 10y the Delaware Shad
fishermen. which is classified hy the
custom officers ut tie highest rate OF
duty, 10 per cent. John Summeriil X
Bro, OF Ptnn's Grovt, import and sell
nearly all the twine made into Slrad
nets iiShed III the Delaware river and
bay, which amounts to V II tons
each year, sold at Sl.iO a pound. They
have informed us that they pay Il 40
per cent. tariff lax to the government
and not - per cent, As most every one
would think who Reds the law.

Forged nla Father,s Name.

A dispatch from White House Station,
published IN New York World Of jan Gath,
says: Richard w. Backer, who fled
from Red Bank last Friday, to escape
the service of warrant for bis arrest, as
published In the World, is the oldest son
of Stephen Backer, Of Mechanichyille.
The warrant charges him with forgery,
aud is issued on complaint Of his father,
whose name be forged. Richard was at
his fathers house last "Wednesday, but
no officer could be found, aud lie escaped.
Constable Julius Daley followed him to
Red Bank but the bid had flown
Stephen Backer is retired farmer of con
siderable wealth. lie was very fond Of
Richard aud loaned him money 10 start
business 10 Red Bank. Since tina. time
Richard has been borrowing money from
his friends in this noighborhood, giving
his father as security. He succeeded lD
getting about $40, 900 10 all Mr.. Backer
had no knowledgs of bis sons crlms until.
Que day last week, Peter r. Green, a
neiehbor, called mi requested the money
on note given by Richard and purpurt.
ing 10 be endorsed by Stephen Backer.
Stephen Backer held a mortgage on the
| Methodist Church and Nc. Green wanted
Backer 10 take the note in payment Of bis
share Of the money which was being rails
ed TO pay off the mortgage. Stephen
Backer denied all knowledge OF the note,
refused TO pay il and at once accused his
son of forgery. Since that time the fol.
lowing forgeries have come to light :
