HE DRY GOODS MAIKEr.-The following
review OF the wholesale dry goods trade - from
the New York Daily Balletin OF yesterday: -"The
general quiet Of the dry goods N arket has been

IN prices has improved the demand for standard
domestics somewhat, although the distribution
is by no means mp TO what was anticipated from
such decline. Brown sheetings and shrtings
are in light demand, as a rule, though there Is a

OLYMPIA, SATURDAY.. MORNING, MAI II, 1870.
The Age Still Straddles Our Platform,

The Age attempts to sustain its position
on the second resolution Of the Demo
cratic Platform, and propcunds the query
" If the declaration taxation should fall
alike upon all the property and wealth of
the country don't mean st that the poor
and those Of moderate means as well AZ
the rich shall be taxed in proportion to
what property they possess, pray tell US
what it does mean?" We will try to en-.
tighten you, Age, but you know the adage
says "a man convinced against his will is
Of the same opinion STILL" and we, there
fore, despair of making you acknowledge
your belief The second part of the reso.
luton, if you had had the fairness to quote
it, would have completely overthrow your
construction Of the meaning to be attached
to the above language To do this, of
course, didn't suit your purpose, which is
to pervert and misreprescnt, aud to assume
for your party virtues it docs not possess.
The context to the language you harp so
much upon is as follows: "Wc therefore
condemn the policy Of the party in power,
in exempting the property Of the rich
from sharing the burdens imposed upon
the people, as iniquitous and unjust to the
laborins aud tax-paying masses" The
resolution, as whole, means that the
property Of bond holders should be taxed.
In your capacity as electionering agent,
dare you admit that you oppose this, even
though the law enacted by your own party,
exempts bonds from all taxation The
proposition is plain one. Those having
no property are, of course, exempt from
paying any tax. That let's out the poor
man, whom you so hypocritically profess
to love. The maj who owns one, five or
ten thousand dollars, is as able to pay his
proportion of taxes as the poor man is to
nothing. How much better is this than
the Radical mode of taxation, where not
only the rich are exempt, but the poor
man is obliged to pay hundreds of taxes,
direct and indirect, even if he don't own a
dollars worth of property. If he is a
teamster, he must pay for license to
carry on his Legitimate business if a
peddler or small manufacture a license
must be paid for before dollars worth
can be sold, AMI SO on throughout the
varied callings in which men Of small
means engage. Then if he buys Il few

ORIGIN OF PICNICs.-Following is the
first authetic account of picnic on record.
AS we are now in the midst Of the season
for these pleasurable and ovc-making lit
tie expeditions, its recital will prove high
ly interesting. More than two centuries
and quarter ago, on the birth day of
Charles, Prince of Wales, afterwards
Charles l., Mainwarnins in letter to the
Earl Of Arundel, dated November 22 l7lS,
says:
The princes birthday has been solcm.
nized here by the few ,narquises and lords
which found themselves here; and Go sup
ply the wants of lords) knights and squircs
were admitted to consultation, wherein
it was resolved that such number should
meet at Ganiges, and bring erery man
his dish Of meat 1t was left to their
choice, what to bring. Some chose to be
subst antal, some curious, some extrava-
giant. Sir George Young's invention bore
away the bell; and that was four huge
brawny pigs piping hot, bitted and har-
messed with ropes of sarsigers, all tied to a
monstrous Bodybuilding.

A Word OF CAUTIoN.-Democrats
should be on their guard against few
unprincipled men who are travelling on the
Sound, representing themselves as Demo
Gratis and making all sorts of promises, to
secure votes for local candidates. They
are wolves in sleeps clothing. No man
is true Democrat, who refuses to vote
the whole ticket. Our object is not to
boost any set of men into Office, but
that through their election the triumph
of principle may be secured. Never in
the history of our party were we as we'll
united as now. Let it be the duty of eve.
ry Democrat to divest himself of local
prejudice and support the entire ticket,
and victory will surely be the result. We
have from all parts of the Territory the
most fattering assurances of success.
