 Do you borrow this paper every week: If so, quit it; come up like a man and subscribe. We know of many who do this thing, far and near, and propose to give their names some day-just for fun.
 "A Scheme to Rob the Treasury,' and "Whither Are We Tending" two strong articles, appear on our first page; the first shows how the Republicans are scheming to rob us the second shows how the high tar tiff does the same thing. Read and ponder over both.
