THEIR EIGHTH RESOLUTION

And now having fairly and patiently con-
sidcred the eighth resolution in the Demo.
cratic platform, we invite attention to the
eighth resolution adopted by the Portland
Oregon Union Republican party, which res.
olu,ion reads rs follows:
s,h. We are in favor of a tariff for revenue with
such Determinations in favor Of our domestic man.
ufactures as will not diminish its efficiency for the
purposes Of revenue.
y protective tariff that possesses any efhcien-
ey, for the purposes of revenue, is one of
the discoveries in government economy that
no political philosopher ever dreamed OF, up
to the assembling Of the Portland Conven-
t,oh. The possibility Of its accomI Iishment
makes the philosophers stone and pcrpetu-
al motion near probabilities. There are no
two principles in matter or philosophy that
are moro directly and irrcconcilably hostile
t, each other than Protective tariff
and revenue tariff. A tariff that ''pro-
diminish imports. A revenue tariff subsists
upon imports. When there is most protec-
tion there is ontire exclusion of imports.
When imports cease, revenue fails. Therefore
when the republican party says that 1t favors
turiff for revenue, with such discrmina.
tions in favor of domestic manufacturers as
will not diminish its efficiency for the pur.
pose of revenue, il is guilty of being just rs
absurd as to say: 1--WE are in favor Of prohib.
iting imports, but with such Determinations
as will not lessen our imports.n The at
tempt Of the Portland Convention to ride
in opposite directions at the same time is n'
dicrously apparent. 'sProtection" is one OF
the most hateful systems that was ever en-
grated upon any body polite. 1t taxes the
people for the benefit uf manufacturers. not
for purposes Of revenue. 1t fosters monop.
olies. Itrobs one man to enrich another. 1t
has ruined our trade with the warld, destroy
ed our Commercial marine and checked the
material prosperity Of the Uuited States. II

terest which every Democrat should
feel and which has sustained lis through
the storm and the night of the strug-
gle, we demand of every Democratic
nominee that he foreswear strange
gods and new crceds and put himself
unmistakably upon the platform; and,
being there, see to it that he remains
there.

THE TRICK.

The Republican party has opened
the'eampaign with the cunning of the
fox. Like the willy Reynard in his wa
ger Of battle with the wolf, the Repub-
lican leaders seem to have shaved them
selves, CREASED themselves, and are
dancing around tho Democracy and
endeavoring to blind them by throwing
dirt into their faces; in this way they
hope to win tho fight. 1t behooyes ev-
cry Democrat, therefore, TO closely
scrutinize the movements of the ene-
my. II we suffer ourselves to be di-
yerted from tho real questions at issue
--allow our enemies to make plat
form for us---listen to the sophistries
of Radical orators and the solecisms of
Radical editors, we must expect to be
beaten. Every man Of intelligence
knows that the debt question cuts but
an insignificant figure in the politics of
this campaign and yet repudiation-
n myth-the creation Of disordered
fancy---has been wrought up to be, ap-
pareptly, mighty engine in the land
Let us not be deceived. There is
something. behind all this. The Dem
ocracy of all the great States east OF
the Rocky Mountains-so far as they
have yet spoken-harc mol considered
the Question OF the payment of the bond
ed debt as of any material moment.
Why, then, is it that in Oregon there
Is SO persistent an effort being made TO
magnify SO immaterial question? The
answer is simple. plain and unmistak-
able. Republication is but the sand to
be thrown in our eyes, that We may
become an easy prey to the cunning of
Radicalism. While We are combating
their man Of straw, the enemy arc busi-
ly engaged in making inroads upon
our citadel; and just SO surely "a the
people OF this State become irnbued
with the idea that reputation is pn Is

From tho Portland orcgonian.
We pubii1h to-day nm article containing several
extracts from tho Albany DgaocnAr, which have
IN them many just aud com,neodybie sentiments.
such utterances show decided progress In n Dem
oeratic newspaper A few more steps will carry
that paper entirely of the dtsionornble platform
which its patty has cons ructed.
The Oregonian is laboring under q
great mistake :" A few steps more"
and we hope to be able to undo what
the fell spirit OF disorganization united
with Radical misrepresentation, has
been for some time endeavoring TO
do, Il. c. the attempt to saddic upon
The Democracy Of H,is State that "pcsti-
teniial abortion" Repudiaiion. As we
have said before, there is no warrant
for the assertion that tho Albany
platform favors reputation. And in
snying this, we are rot stepping off of
the "dishonorable platform the party
has constructed; but are protesting
in the name of Democracy and right
and reason against the most stipend
uoiis falsehoo1 that ever was uttered
in political campaign. We are
striving to show that we are on the
Albany platform and what that plat
form is. The Oregonian desires the
the people to believe that the platform
that Fay and Hayden ,oantcd to have
adopted is the Democratic platform
when it well knows that such n plat
form never could have been by any
possibility adopted.

The Census or .St. louis.

The population of the city is else
where officially announced by the
United States marshal to be 312, 963.
This result is extremely gratifying,
as it demonstrates by the irresistible
logic of figures the astonishing growth
of our city during the last decade,
Notwithstanding the fierce backset
given us by the war. In 1860 the
population of St. Louis was 16O, 73;
SO the total increase is 152 100, or
not far from one hundred per cent.
Among the more observant and
thoughtful Of our citizens the census
as now asccrtaincd will create nc
profound surprise. The expansion
Of the city has been visible in the
never ccasing multiplication of build
lngs of all kinds; and that the popu
lation was swelling in correspond
cncc was fact of which they have
been long we'll assured.
The announcement Of our true pop
ulation is peculiarly appropriate and
important at present. The ambition
Of St. Louis to be the national cap
ital is not merely founded on q fclic-
itous geographical position, but that
it is the centre Of vigorous CONNER
cial and metropolitan life, destined
to make out that position the great
city Of the nation. The census proves
not only our present standing, but
the energies which pervads us, aud
compels the recognition of St. Louis
as the fourth of the cities of the
Union, with principal Of growth

UDPfsie1cc 70 Parents.

Show me boy who obeys his. par
cnts, who has respect for age, al
ways has a friendly disposition, and
who applies himself diligently to get
wisdom and to do good towards 9TH
ers, aud if he is not respected, and
beloved then there is no such thing
as truth in the world.
Even when parents are ill-tempcr-
ed and unreasonable they should bo
treated with respect and forbearance
by their children. Olympias, moth
er of Alexander the Great, was a wo.
man of ambitious disposition, and
occasioncd much trouble to her son.
Nevertheless, when pursuing his con-
quests in Asia, he sent her many
splendid presents out of the spells
which he had taken as tokens of his
affection. He only begged that sho
would not meddle with State affairs.
but allow bis kiugdom to be aged
peacably by his governor, Antipater.
When she sent harsh reply to the
request which be had made, he bore
it patiently, and did not use sharp
language in return.
On one occasion when she had
been very troublesome, Antipater
sent him letters complaining Of her
in very grcvious terms. Alexander
only said, L" Antipater does aot know
that one single tear Of my mother is
able to blot out six hundred of his
cpistlcs.
A boy was once tempted by somo
of his companions to pluck ripe cher
ries from tree which his father had
forbidden him to touch.
You need not be afraid" said
one of his companions, g for if your
father should find out that you have
taken them be is SO kind he would
not hurt you. -
That is the very reason re-
piled the boy "why l would not
touch them. 1t is true that my faith.
er would not touch me, yet my diso-
bcdience, | know, would hurt my
father, and that would be worse to
me than anything else"
A boy who grows up with such
principles will be man in the best
sense of the word. 1t shows a re-
gard for rectitude that would render
him trustworthy under every trial.
