Democracy, I hope I may bo permitted to say at . the o . ntset that continued reflection and observation have confirmed mo In my adherence to the opinions which I havo heretofore plainly and publicly declared touch- ing the questions involved in the canvass. \ This is a time , above all others, when these Questions should be considered in tho ' light af- forded bya sober apprehension of the princi- ples upon which our government : i3 based , end a clear understanding of the relation it bears to tho peop le-for whoso benefit it was created. We shall ; thus be supplied with a test by which the ' value of any ' proposition re- lating to the maintenance and administration of our governmenfean *be ascertained and by which the justice and honesty of every politi- cal ; question can be .judEed. - If doctrines or theories are presented which do hot satisfy this test , loyal Americanism must pronounce them false and mischievous. ' . - -\ -The protection of the people in the exclusive use and enjoyment of their property and earn- ings concededly constitutes the especial pur- pose and mission of our .free government. This design is so interwoven with the ' Struc- ture of our plan of rule that failure to protect tho citizen in such me and enjoyment, or their unjustifiable diminution by the government Itself, is a betrayal of the people ' a trust, . . . . THE TARIFF. \ > ¦ We have , however , undertaken to build a great nation - upo n a plan especially bur own. To maintain it: and to- furnish s throug h ; its agency the means for the accomplishment of national object s the American \ people - are willing through federal\ taxation to aurrender a part of their earnings and income. ' Tariff legislation presents a familiar form of . federal taxation. Such l egislation results as Barely\ in a tax upon tho daily life of our peo- ple as the tribute paid directly into the hand ^ Ofi tb , © taxgatherer. . Wo feci tho bur-dcxi of these tariff taxes too palpably to be persuaded by any sophistry that they do not exist or are paid by f oreiffnors. \ Such taxes, representing a diminution of the property rights of the people, are only justi- . liable when laid and collected for the .pnrposo at maintaining our government and furnish- ing the means for the. accomplishment of its legitimate purposes and functions. This is taxation under the operation of a tariff for revenue. If accords * -with .. tho professions of American free institutions , -and Its justice and honesty answer the test supplied by a correct appreciation , of the , principles . . upon which these institutions resti' - - v ' This theory of -tariff legislation manifestly enjoins strict economy in public expenditures and their limitation to legitimate public uses , inasmuch as it . \ exhibits as absolute extortion any exaction , \ by way of taxation , from the substance of the people beyond the necessities of a careful and proper administration of gov- ernm e nt , SPECIAL INTERESTS AND . THE CONSTITUTIOW. s Opposed . , to this theory tho ' .. dogma ; is now boldly presented that tariff taxation is justifi- able for tho express purpose and intent or thereby promoting especial Interests and en- terprises. \ Such a proposition is ' so clearly contrary, to the spirit of our constitution and BO directly encourages the. disturbance by selfishness and greed of patriotic sentiment that its statement would rudely shock, our people If they had not already oeen insidiously allured from the safe landmarks of principle. Never have honest desire for national growth , patriotic, devotion to country and sincere re- gard for those who toil been so betrayed to the aupport of a pernicious doctrine. In its behalf the plea that our infant Indus- tries should be fostered did service until dis- credited by our stalwart growth: then followed the exigencies of a terrible war which made our . people . heedless of the opportunities for ulterior schemes afforded by their willing and patriotic payment of unprecedented tribute , and now , after a long period of peace , \ wh .pn our overburdened countrymen ask fof' relief and a restoration to a fuller en joyiaent of their incomes and earnings , they are met by the claim that tariff taxation for the sake of pro- tection is an American system , the continu- ance of which is necessary in order that high wages may bo paid to our workingmen and a home market be provided for our , farrn , prod- ucts , , DECEPTION KO IXMTGEn , POSSIBLE , These prepenses should no longer deceive. The truth is that such a system is directly an- tagonized by every sentiment of justice , and fairness of which Americans are pre-eminent- ly proud. It is also true that while our work- ingmen and farmers can , tho least of all our people , defend themselves against the harder* home life which such tariff taxation decrees , tho worklngman , suffering from the importa- tion and employment of pauper labor insti- gated by his professed friends , and seeking. security for his interests in organized co-oper, atlon . still waits for a division of the ad van-; tages secured to Ms employer under cover of a generous solicitude for his wages , while thf? farmer ' is l earn in g that the prices of b.is prod> nets are fixed in foreign markets , where V ^e suffers \from a competition invited and built up by the system ho is asked to support. Tho struggle for unearned advantage at tho doors of tho government tramples on tho rights of those who patiently rely upon assure ancss of American equality. Every govern- mental concession to clamorous favorites in- vites corruption in political affairs by encour- aging tho expenditure of money to debauch suffrage in support of a policy directly favor- able to private and selfish gain. This in the end .must strangle patriotism and weaken popular confidence la th3 rectitude of repub- lican institutions. MARKETS ANT) MORAIS. Thongh the subject of tariff legislation in- volves a question of markets , it also Involves a question of morals. We cannot with im- punity-permit injustice to taint the spirit of Tight anu Cl nity Which is the life of our re- public , and we shall fall to reach our national destiny if greed and selfishness lead the way. Ifojcognizing these truths , the national De- mocracy will seek; by the appUca ' -io\ of just and sound principles to equalize to our people the blowings due tjicm from the government they support; to projnoto among our \ country- men a closer community of interests cemented py patriotism and national pride , and . to poin t OUt a fair field where pwspcrous s\n , d diYCrsit fled American enterprise may- grow and thr} yo , in the wholesome atmosphere of Ameri can in, dustry.

Therefore the attempt of tho oppo- ncnts of Democracy to Interfere with and con- trol tho suffrage of tho states through federal agencies develops a design , which no explana- tion can mitigate , to reverse tho fundamental and safe relations between the-people and their * government. ' Such an attempt canuot fail to bo regarded by thoughtful men as proof of a bold determination ¦ to . aecure tho ascend- ency of a discredited party in reckless ' disre- gard of a free expression of tho popular will. To resist- such a sehonio is an impulse of . De- mocracy. At all times and in all places wo trust tho people. As against the disposition to force tho way to federal power, wo present to them our claim- to their confidence and sup- port a steady champ ionship of their ri ghts. THE CURRENCY QUESTION, The peop le are entitled to sound and honest money, abundantly sufficient in volume to sup- ply their business needs; but whatever may bo the form of the people ' s currency, national or stato-7-whether gold , silver or paper—it should be so regulated and guarded by governmental action or by wise and careful laws that no one can be deluded ns to tho certainty ' and sta- bility of its value. Every dollar put into the hands of the peopl e should bo of the same in- trinsic value or purchasing; power. \With this condition absolutely guaranteed , both ,gold arid silver ¦ can be safel y utilized upon equal terms In tho adjustment of our currency. In dealing with this subject no selfish scheme should be allowed . to intervene and no doubt- ful experiment should bo attempted. The wants of our people , arising from the deficiency or imperfec t distribution of money circulation, ought to bo fully and honestly recognized \ and efficiently remedied. It should , however ,. bo constantly remembered that the inconvenience or loss that might arise from such a situation can be much easier borne than tho universal distress which must follow a discredited . cur- rency. - crvn. SERVICE . REFORM . - Public officials arc the agents of the people. It Is therefore their duty to secure for those whom they represent the best aud most effi- cient performance of public work. This plainly can-be best accomplished by regard- ing ascertained fitness in the selection of ^ gov- ernment employees. Those ~ oohsidbr ' ations ' alone are sufficient justification for an honest adherence to the letter and spirit of civil service reform. There are , however, other features of this plan which abundantly com- mend it. Through its ' operation worthy merit in every station and condition of American life is recognized in tho distribution of public employment , while- its application, tends to raise tho _ standard of political activity from spoils huntingand unthinking -party affiliation to the advocacy of party, .principlcs by reason And nrgnineriti - : - - - ' ¦ > ; -PENSIONS. __ .; ,5he American people are generous and grate- ful , ' ahdZthey havo impressed these cSaraetor- istics ;upon . their government. . -Therefore all patriotic^ and -just citizens must commend lib- eral consideration for our worthy veteran sol- diers and for the families of those who havo died. No complaint should be made of tho amount of public money paid to those actually disabled or made dependent by reason of array service: \Biit our , pension roll should he a roll of honor, uncontaminatea by ill descrt^and unvitiatcd by demogogic use. This is duo to those whpae . worthy names adorn the roll , and tq all our people who deli ght \ to honor the brave and tho true. It Is also duo to tnose who in years to come should be allowed to hear , reverently and lovingly, tho story of American patriotism and fortitude illus trated by our pension rolL ; The preferences accorded to . veteran , soldiers in public .ouiploypient should be securedto them honestly aud with- out erosion , and . when capable and worthy their elalm to tho helpful regard and gratitude pf \ trloir countrymen should bo ungrudgingly acknowledged. - - . -- . INDrvrotTAI, UBEItTV. Tho. assurance to the people of tho utmost jnd fvldual liberty consisfbnt with peace and good prder- js a cardinal principle of our gov- ernment , This gives no sanction to vexatious sumptuary laws which unnecessarily inter-< fere with euaJi habits and customs of our peo- ple as are not offensive to a just moral sense and aro not inconsistent with good citizenship and the Public welfare. ¦ The same principle requires {list the \ line between ' tho subjects which are prqperly within governmental con- trol and those which, are more fittingly left to parental regulation should bo carefully kept in view. An enforced education , wisely deemed &. proper preparation for citizenship; should not involve the . impairment of wholesome pa- rental authority nor do violence to the house- hold conscience. Paternalism in government finds no approval in the creed of Democracy, It is & symptom of misrule, whether it Is mani- fested in . unauthorized. . gifts or \by an unwar- ranted , control of personal and family affairs. Our people , still cherishing the feeling of human fellowship which belonged to our bei ginning as a nation , require their government to express for, them, their sympathy with , all those who are oppressed under any rule less free than ours. • IMMIGRATION. A generous hospitality, which is one of tho most prominent of our . national characteristics , , prompts us to welcome tho worthy and indus-r trious of all lands to . hoincs. and citizenship among us. This hbspita . b}e sentiment is not violated , however , by- careful and reasonable regulation s for the protection pf tho public health , nor docs it justify tho reception of-im- migrants who havo no nppreciation of our iiv* stitutions and whoso presence among , us is a menace to peace and good order. The importance of tho construction of the Nicaragua ship canal as a means of promoting commerce between our states and with , for- eign countries, and also ns a contribution by Americans to the enterprises which advance the Interests of the world of civilization, should commend tho project to governmental approval and indorsement. \Qur c#an .$ryipen. not only expect from those Who. represent tlieirv 4ft \WvblW p laces tv sedu. - lous car© for the things which aro directly and palpably related to their material interests ^ but they also fully appreciate tho value of cul* tivating our national pride and maintainmR oar national honor.

Harold Frederic , tlve well informed London correspondent of tho New York Times , says in a recent cablo letter to that journal : \During Hie past few weeks there havo been in Loudon , along with tho great mass of American tourists con- gested hero by the quarantine scare , a considerable number of wealthy men in- terested in seeing the presen t tariff maintained , and who are in the habit of p lay ing an [important financial par t in presidential campai gns.

' Sow Piatt , Illscock and Coxupauy Robbed New York of the Fair—9300 , 000 , 000 fcoat to Now . Vork and Adjacent States—A: Subject to Bemombcr on Election Day. : The peop le in tho; states near New York city should not forget that the losa of the ^World' s fair to , that city, with all the advantages which they would have derived from it , was directly dnc to Re- publican opposition. The World' s fair in New York would have meant millions of dollars to the farmers , tradesmen and laborers in New . York state , New Jersey and Connecticut—Chauiicey M. Depew said §800 , 000 , 000 , and a Chicago estimate has p laced the value of the fair to that cit y and section of country at $500 , 000 , 000. . This sum of money dis- tributed in the three states named w ould have set in motion a stream of jn-osjierity which would have been felt- for years among all classes of producers. . When the loss of the fair was made an issue in the New York state election last year the Republicans affected to treat the matter lightly, bnfc Olmmicey M. Depew had prophesied l ong before that the men who defeated the fair in New- York would be \ snowed under by 100 , - 000 votes cast b y the farmers , the me- chanics , tho laborers and the .shopkeep- ers. \ The defeat of Piatt' s man—Fas- eett—by almost 50 , 000 majority was a sufficient fulfillment of Dopew ' a prophecv. And how was the fail' lost? A non- partisan committee of 100 , of whom only forty-two were Democrats , was appointed by Mayor Grant , of New York , and was gent to Washington . Tho principal speech for this delegation before the committee of congress having the matter in charge was made, by: Mr. Depew , and the impression was such that the New Yorkers returned homo and reported the fair as won for the metropol is, Then came the miserable exhibition of personal jealousy and . partisaii mali gnit y ou the part of Piatt and. his followers , which robbed New York of the fair. The motive of Piatt and his crowd was twofold. They wanted to squelch De- pew , Miller and Belden , who had . worked hard for the . fair , and who . were thus gaining an ascendency \ which mi ght prove dangerous to the Piatt oligarchy, and they wanted to deprive the Demo- cratic party in Nc\7 York sta to and city of whatever \incidental ' advantage tho fair might bring to it. The methods b y which tho Piatt ma- Chine carried out its designs aro a good example of low cunning and factional strategy. When Mr. W. E. D. Stokes , ol Hew York city, went to Albany with the World' s fair bill for enabling the city of New York to take the necessary financial measures , ho firs t showed the bill to d\ Sloat Passett , at that time Re- publican leader of the state senate. Fassett said to Mr, Stokes ; \I am fa- vorably inclined toward tho bill. It looks , all ri ght , * but w-h y this undue haste?\ \A few minutes later, \ says Mr. Stokes , in his report of the incident , \ a Republican senator informed mo that Mr, Piatt , by a telegram, had ordered the bill to be held. The bill was left in committee and ordered to a third read- ing , and met Mr. Piatt' s political amend-, incnt and a month of impediments. \ The political amendment here referred to required a two-thirds majority of \ the New York citizens ' committee to con- tr ol its action ; in other words , it gave to one-third of the members the power to break all notion by the committee, The reason for this was evident. The committee as made up by. Mayor Grant was SQ conspicuously fair and nonpar- tisan—there being onl y fort y-two Demo- crats on it—that absolu tely no. room was left . for the obstructionists , to raise tho ••Tammany \ cry. Indeed Mr. Depew had said himself that tho insinuation that the citizens ' committee would bo untrue to its trust was \ enough to make a brass , monkey get \ip ou its hind legs and hve&h its ' head off. \ \ ' ' \ ' ¦ ' But the zealous Piatt, Hiscock and Fassett had tacked on tlieir amendment to make the commiteeo look like a Democrati c catspaw. Then they worked the Tammany racket in Washington for all it was worth , and when the final vote in the. house of representatives came New York lost the fair by the hostile votes of twenty-thrvaa Repub- licans \ living within too hours of that city. ''\ \ ,. That is how New York lost tho Mr. The.whole business was a discreditable piece of small caliber partisanshi p which the voters shoul d not even at this day forgive. ' Let \ them \ snow under \ the Piatt national ticket this year as Fassett was snowed under last year. High. Tariff Wages* \In Rockville ,. Conu „ there are , \ saya the New York Press, \ several worsted mills where men receive ten dollars a week ; women , ^6.50 , and girls , $5.50 a week . \ As this ' is from a high tariff paper , and is advanced as a proof of tho beneficent effects of the McKinley law , it may be taken .for granted that the wages quoted are the hi g hest, ^Vhat do. the American people think ot paying two prices for everything they wear in , order that skilled workmen, may draw the znnnJfioent stipend of ten dollars a week, about tho same wage as that of the lowest -paid laborer in the unpro- tected raiUs in Minneapolis?

THE 1 WORLD'S FAIR. A . CLEVER DEFENSE- | An interesting story ia T told relative to a merchantman ' s fight with pirates, in the Eug leh channel , in .a recent nam* | ber ol the Y OUTH ' S C OMPANION . ' A certain Ooptaia Davis wbq waa , noted for bis quick wit as well as for skill in navi gation , was retarding from Ireland with a cargo of better. He bad not been out very long . when a pirate was seen coming down bpon him. In vain all sails were spread t every moment broug ht the p irate nenror. » The men were at their wite end , but the cap tain knew ' a trick or' two. He ordered the men to take of their boota and Blockings , and directed that a score of butler barrels be broug ht on deck. In a few minutes the barrels had been knocked to pieces , and the batter was thickl y spread all over the deck , and outside the shi p. Not a rope nor a spar that waa not slippery. Eren without \ their boots or stockings the tbe sailors could scarcel y keep on their leps. ,, .. . .. . . On enme the p irate , not dreaming bow smoothl y he was to * be received. Captain Davis assumed an air of sub- mission and allowed the enemy to come alongside quietly. But lo ! when they jumped over , fully armed , with p istol in one hand and sword in the other , they sli pped about and tumbled over on . the buttered deck like eo miiny rate. One fellow shot head foremost down into the cabin , where bo was immediate- l y eet upon by the boy ; another slid ncross tbe deck and shot out into the sen b y an opposite porthole. Not one of them coald stand on his fepf , and us pirates are generall y super- stilious , and idea seized them that the ebj p w»* possepsed of a devil. They hur- ried back to their own vessel , cast loose and Captain Davia got safely into port at tbe expense of - » few pounds of butter. ' mm m ^ ¦ JTfc Tuo Uses of Iloiioy. . . A writer in the Horticultural Times expresses surprise that honey is eo seldom seen^on the tables of the peop le of this country. \Honey \ he saya \is at once a valuable medicine and food. Foul air, improper ventilation , sudden changes of the weather , tbe exposure of the tbront and lungs to a damp atmos- phere , are the sources ., of. no end \ of throat and bronchial troubles. ., A free , regular and constant use of/ honey is probably tbe beet medicine for - throat troubles there is. It is the most whole* some and economical substitute for butter , being ns a rule half the price \ of that article. Hohey is Of more eervice in our cooking than many peop le imag- ine. Those who indulge in a glass - 'of grog and hot water on cold winter ni ghts should try the effects of a spoon- ful of honey instead of sugar. The ehauga will surprise them. Honey, may indeed , rep lace sngnr ns an ingre- dient in the cooking of almost any article of food. In rice puddings the writer invariably uses honey, instead of sugn r ; the flavor is much more delici- ous. For preserving, most kinds of fruit honey is f»r preferable to sugar , as it has the qnnlity of preserving a long time in a fresh state anything that may be laid in it or mixed with it. and preventing its corruption in a far supe- rior manner to sugar. For many medicinal purposes honey is invaluable. To town residents who may be jaded and look careworn after the excitement cf late hours , when the skin becomes dry, red find harsh looking, try tbe effects of rubbing gentl y a thin coating of honey on the face before going to bed. It is one of the attest cosmetic* in the world. \ I M >«T W A Q UAINT I NSCRIPTION . — An Indian known to ' .the whites an ' \Billy \ wan the last of bis raco to disappear in Bucks county, Penn., except his wife. .
