A New York dispatch states that a cargo of six thousand tons of potatoes has just landed in that city from London. The tariff on the lot was $50,000 and this will be added to the price the consumer pays when the potatoes are dealtt out in small quantities. Potai toes in New York were selling at $3.25 i per sack, or. practically two cents perl pound. The tariff on potatoes is a burden to the consumer and of no adv?ntage to the 'producer-. As long as ' the American farmer supplies the I home market no potato tariff is col--1 leeted for there are none shipped in; but when lite home production is in adequate potatoes are imi>vrted and the consumer gets it in the pocket I book.—i Columbia City Post The Boy Scouts are to have a troop , m Decatur, and if you have a boy bei tween fourteen and twenty-one years i old, we believe you should urge him j to join.
