Many newspapers are adopting various plans to meet the exigent cies forced npon them by the hard times. Some conclude to try a reduction of the subscription price and hope to increase the number of subscribers; others announoe that they will throw off 50 ceute per annum to delinquents who will square up arrearages. We do not think either of these plans will pay. With wheat statiug at 60 @ 60, oats 10 @ 12, corn 16 @ 16 producers find it next to impossible to make their income meet their necessities. We have concluded, tor a time at least, to meet the emergency, in reducing our necessary cash outlay each week by reducing the size of the Sentinel, and the price to 91: and so soon as we may feel justified in doing so will restore the paper to its former dimensions.

Indeed the same ma. Hers have a contract with the Russian government for the same kind of armor plate at 9249 a ton. That is the way Uncle Sam habitually gets bilked when he deals with that old gang of rascals and subsidy beggars. Just now this same crowd is swarming around the tariff “hearing” committee audde, manding more tariff to keep foreign competition out of this countrj.
