Tariff Eevlilon.
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

Here Is an aggregate of more than
$400,000,000, Imported from abroad, tbe
greater portion ot whloh oould be pro
duced by American labor, under a tariff
sufficient to give It tbe Amerloau market
at the Amerloan staudard of wauee. 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.

obtained a deeree ot divorce on thu

with the paper, but by advlee ol ooiiu-

After the deoree was made, (Irlflltlnt

A PIONEER FAMILY Or WAYNE.
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

the wagon from him. Tills was too much

the strangers were very roughly handled.
Two of them were very badly Injured

Newfoundland Is oue of- tho oldest

more than a century ago discovered that
some two thousand aores ot laud In this
valley remained unmarked and had uot
