The Repnblloan deolaratloD for a re vision ot the tariff la not to be under stood as a movement In the dlreotlon ol tree trade, nor as a oonoeaalon to the ehronle Demooratls demand for an aban donment of the proteotlve prlneiple. The Republican party has repeatedly made ohange In tbe tariff, but In doing this has kept In view tbe maintenance ot protection to home Indaatrles. In faet, every substantial ebange In the tariff, slnoe the Inauguration ot President Lin coln In 1861, except tbe Sugar Trust Tar Iff ot IBM, has been made by tbe Repub lican party. Further than this, tbe Dlngley tariff, wblcb went Into effect July 37,187, more than eleven years ago, bu already stood longer than tiny other tariff since tbe foundation of our government. Next, In point ot duration was the Walker tariff, enaoted by tbe Democracy, which went Into effeot De camber t, 1848, and stood until superse ded by the general reductions that went Into effect July 1, 1857, a period of ten years and seven months. Tbe principle of protection, as steadily maintained by the Republican party, and as set forth by Mr. Taft In his letter ot acceptance, la "that a tariff shall be Im posed on all Imported prodoots, whether ot the faotory, farm or mine, sufficiently great to equal tbe difference between the coat of production abroad and at borne, and that this difference should, of oourae, Inolude the difference between (the higher wattes paid In this oonutry and the wages paid abroad, and embrace a reasonable profit to tbe American prodnoer." The present need of revision, as further stat ed: by Mr. ialt, arises from a obange In the conditions of production, whereby tbe duties on various articles exceed this difference In cost ; and tbls exoees "serves no uaeful purpoae, but offers a tempta tlon tothose who would monopollte tbe produoilon and sale of such artloles In tbls oouutry, to profit by the exoeaalvo rate." This result la to be met by re vision downward. Hut, aa Mr. Taft fur tber points out, there are other features of tariff and prloea that demand revision upward, In the Intereat of home Indus trlea;"thereare some schedules lu whloh the tariff Is not luOloleutly high to give the measure ot protection whloh they should receive upon Republican prluol pies, and as to these the tariff should be ralaed." A Klance at our foreign commerce for the Qaoal year ending June U0, 1007, shows a variety of products, entering Into com petition with ouriowu Induatrlea, which gained admission to our markets, in large quantities, by reason of Inadequate duties. Auioug these, as shown by tbe report of the Uureaii ot Statistics, were the following : Manufactures of oolton, t7J.70l,6M " Uax, bump, Jute, eto., ea,u27,wi .' silk. ae.ttt3.2M Wool,1 M.KU.tU Manufacture of woo), ,.ajl,ii7 " Iron aud steel, aa.WXllW Wood and manufacture! or, 31,&7S,Ma Hides and sains, otbur tbau furs, 2u.otv.ua Leather aud inanulaulures of. ai.XM.UI Kartben, stoue and ublua warej U,70U,7wl Paper, IU,?27,M Ulassaoa class ware. 7,370,110 Meat and dalrv uruduots.

Add to tbls nearly (32,000,000 of ohemloals, drugs, dyes, etc., uu small portion ol which might be produced lu this oouutry, and-iiearly $40,000,000 of oopper, free ot duty, which our own mlues oan supply, and wa may see on what points the tariff should be revised upward. Nevertheless, It la a question whether, oj some of the articles lu this list, the duties should not be wholly removed lu stead ol Increased. The duty ou hides for lustauoe, is ot slight benefit exoept to tbe beef trust. The duty ou paper Inures chiefly to tbe benefit ot the paper trust The duty on wood, In various forma, tends to hasten the destruction of our own fjresU. The tariff should be so frame las uot ouly to proteot home lu ddilry, but to prevent the exhaiiatlou of o ir natural resources.

Joseph Btoaros, tho pioneer ancestor ot thi Btcarna famllioa ot Wayuo and BusquohuDua countioe, was a natlvo ot Attleboro, Mass,, a eon ot Captain John Stearns, ot that place, who, through having received his commission from the King, in earlier life, becamo an ar dent suppoitsr ot tho Colonial Govern ment, to which ho gavo liberally, besides1 loaning it $2,000 at ono limo. Aflor tbo independence ot tbo colonies bad been acknowledged by the British Govern mcnt. in patriotic mood Captain John Btearns, on a Thanksgiving day, in tbe proeetico of hie cblldron, burned tho Co lonial securiiieH which ho held, s.iy lug that tho Investment was tho best ho could make for thorn. John Stotml was a doscondant in tho fourth generation from Isaac Steams wbo, accordiDg to Dr. Dond, came from England with Governor Wintbrop in 1C30, and acttlod in Watcrtown, Mass. Of his descendants, according to Mr?. Avis Btearns VanWagcncn, fifty-five wero tound to have served in tho Ilovo- luttonary War, as officers or soldiors, eight ot whom lost thoir lives in the ecrvieo. The enmo author states in "Tho Military ItocorJ of tbo Descendant of Isaac Stearns," that ono hundred and thirty -six served in tho late civil wr.r, of whom thirty-six died in the sorvico. Ot these a number did not bear tho namo of Btearns, but descended in the female liae, of which, possibly, General A. B. Daggett might be one, a sister of Joseph Stearns having marriod a Samuel Dag gett nod reared a numerous family in Revolutionary times. Joseph BteurnB. mentioned above.thon a resident of Attleboro, was ono of tbo "minute men," who, when called, lelt hl9 plow in tho Held, and, hastily equip ping himself, marchod immediately with all who could join him for tbo field ot Lexington. IIo remained in tho service, though not continuously, until tho closo ot tho war. Mr. Stearns's army experiencoscemrd to St him for pioneer lifo and its eacri flees; and in tbo winter of 1793, ho and his family, consisting ot bis wife, Iihodn Tingley, threo daughters and Qvo sons, prepared to move to tho then wilds ot Pennsylvania, which he had visited tbo previous summer on a tour of inspection Accordingly, in the following March, equipped in truo pioneer fashion, their journey through Meld and forest was accomplished without especial loos or accident; but with eomowhat exhausted onergies, which, no doubt, assisted by the solicitations of ono or two former arquiintances wbo bad preceded him induced tbe family to locato in what was then BmitbHeld township, North nrupton county now Mount Pleasant Wayne county, instead of continuiog their journey to their original destina tion at "Nino Partners" now Hurford Susquehanna county. After decid'-ig to locato in Mount Pleasant, M . arns, with tho aid of one or two pluvious settlers, and two sons, Jamos and John, then IS and 17 years of ago, soon had a cabin built and a pioneer borne constructed on what has been known (or many years as tho Noah Chittenden farm, which ho proceeded to clear of tbe forest and otherwiso im provo, until bo had a comfortable home where tho remaining thirty-six years of bis life were spent, and where his eight children, with two othors born otter tbeir arrival in tho place, grow to man hood and womanhood. From this home bis ten children went out to make homos ot their own-at first near the parental roof, but lattr dispersing to more distant localities. Lucy, tho eldest daughter, taught the- first school in tbe neighborhood, which was continued at intervals until hir marriago to Raymond Dix. They set tied eventually in South Uibeon, Bufq Co., and several ot their descendants still reside in that county and Lick a wannn. Tho late Alden Williams at d W. W. Williams, ot Montrose, wcro ol tho number. The second daughter, PI ubo, mnrrit d nenjsmin newion, i.nd resided near DundatT for a number of years. They removed, however, with most of thotr family, to Sturk Co., Illinois, in the early thirties. Their eldest Bon, Nelson Nowton, remained in tho vicinity ot the old homo, and his son Lewis and fam 1 1 y still n side in Lackawanna county Tho youngest daughter, Itboda Stearns, married David Kennedy, a highly re spected citisen of Mount Pleasant, and resided noar theparautal homo. Kjvcrul ot their descendants have been favor ably known in Wnyno county in tho past generation; Mrs. Klvirn Drowns combo and her daughter, Miss Jennie, the noted artist, being among tho uum ber. Ol tho none ot Joseph aud Itboda Ting loy Btearns, three, John, Jubf z aud Ash bcl, remained in Wayno county. Otis and Ira removed to S isquehanna coun ty, James and Joseph, Jr., removed to Ohio, wbero in that and adjoining Btatcs many ot their descondants are prosper ous citizens. The lu-nily ot John Stoarns is repro s.'nted in Wayne county by a grand daughter, Mrs. Kvn N. King, and John K. Smarm, of l'roston, a greut grand son. Tho family of Ira Sienrns has been represented by the Into I-:. I, Stearns and Q W. Stearns, formerly ot Honesdale, and also Mrs. John Robinson, ot Dy berry. Siymour A. Btearns, of Whilo Hnvcn, etill represents tbo Aehbcl Stearns fain ily, formerly of Clinton.

J.wph S'.earna, tho soldior end pi oneer, lived to soo tbe township of his adoption quito thickly inhabited by prosperous farmers, interspersed with mills and small manufactories and in terseeted by two or threo linos ot turn pike, which wero then tho great thoroughfares, with two or threo lines ot four horeo utagos passing daily, und a prosperous villngo whero morrhan Jiso could bo obtutned without tbo necessity ot making ii journey to Wilkes lltirro, or wh-it is now iliughamton, as tho pioneers did, to procure somo o their neceHsanes.

Thoir ro mains rest in tho Ploasant Mount ceme tery and a grandson (now Hi years of age) hag recently replaced tho crumbled niurlilo which markod their resting place by n neat granito monumout.
