But IT'S untrue that the democratic p,,J

which found lis origin in the fact tba, ,bs.
were opposed to too much lenisla,iorE
they are IN favor tariff for revenue m.
which shall be confined to that pprpo,s !.
lone, making no discrimination eycen, t
strict revenue purposes. This we hare
already said our paper will continuenM|
vocate. Another democratic meaNrp /,
the establishment of an Independent, Trp,

as constitutional measure, and tbe m
NEST likely to ensure the safe keeDino n

can Iooh upon the legislation and poIicy II
the government as fixed upon permanent
