THE SALARY GRAB.

for the squandering0 OF public lands in
grants to private corporations for the re-
lease of railroads from their past obliga-
tons to the government, and other mani
fest actions of corruption as developed by
the Credit Mobilier and other inVestiga-
tions, and that those members of the Dem
oeratic party who have aided or acquies-
eed in such Legislation, G equally deserve
public condemnation.
3 f. That we believe that the fundamental
purpose of The government is the protec-
,tion of persons and property, and notsJhe
meddhng with and regulation of the busi-
ness, industry or. conseiences of its citi-
zens, nor the assumption ofsuch works by
federal, State or municipal governments,
as msy safely and should properly be left
to individual enterprise.
5. That corruption can be successfully
conbated only by the removal or the less
ening of the temptation, we are in favor Of
the reduction Of the functions now exer-
cised by the government, and a conse-
quent diminutlon of government bureaus
and officials, believing as we do, that a
continually increasing army Of federal Of
fcers is an evil, Increasing the dangers as
the county grows. sds Iua
y g. That giants of subsidies In land or
money, and Of special privileges and ex-
emptiens to national banks and ether
great moneyed corporations and all fos-
-tering ofmonopolies ct the expense of the
whole people are unjust and oppressive.
7.oThat the practice of electing stock
holders and officers of National banks to
seats IN Congress, whereby the great gains
of continued irredeemible paper money
are secured to those institutions by the
votes of interested parties, is a national
scandal which deserves the condemnation
of every good citizen AMI ought to be pre-
vented by proper legislation. ..,.
g. That we Insist upon q strict obserV-
ance by the general Government of the
Constitutional limitation OF its power and
every demand of home government. .-du.
9. We believe that the business of the
EGoyernment should be transacted upon
the same principles that regulate the busi-
meas of private Individuals. We believe,
therefore, that the appointment Of subor-
dinste officers should depend upon their
qualification, and that their tenure should
depend on their fitness and efficiency, and
II this respect return to the practice OF
the early days of the republic is highly
desirabla and necessary .s4r
5a 10. That duties On imports, as long as
such dnIies are necessary, shall be Inn
posed for the purposes of revenue only,
and not for the purpose of benehtting or

short speech. In the course of his re-

Republicans went into it, but learning
that It would retain the Democratic name,
they went back upon it. Any time from
1856 to1S7lWe could have overthrown
the Republican party, but for the preJu-
dice of Republicans TO the name Of Dem
ocrat.H We were forced into the-last
Campaign to conclude, that no Democrat,
as such could be nominated who would
be elected and SO we surrendered to the
Liberals. and let them carry the colors,
All these events have forced me, though
most reluctantly, to the conclusion that
the Democratic party is poWsrless and IN
elective as an ally, and net fit instru-
ment Of reform in American politics.
Most Democrats have not come. to this
conclusion. They still preserve the name,

A Band Saw

A band saw, which is % feet long tu
8 inches wide, and Of l6 gage, was made
in Paris, France, at the cost Of one hun
dred dollars, and Is used for saving plank
from logs. An exchange describing the
saw and its operations says The pulleys
are IS inches in diameter, including hubs
Of wrought iron, and are mounted cen
trally on the nam column 50 as % equal
Ize the strain Of the saw and prevent ITS
sprlnging, and to economic its weight.
They are covered with Tagging of pine,
over which Is glued an envelope of heavy
harness leather The bearings for the
wheel shafts are four inches ia diameter
and twelve inches long, ana are made Vt
all alloy Of SIX parts copper and one Of tim.
The tension is from one to four tons. and
necessarily calls for the greatest rgidity ~
the framing to prevent the guides from be-
ing thrown out Of position BY the varying
tension Of the blades
The timber lies perfectly still upon the
carriage and hardly requires dogging At the
ends The first cut Is directed by adjust
ing the log as the saw progresses, after
which the slab face Is carried past pyrma
nent Cages, very much on the principle oi
common had Sitting
The kari Of the band saw is one eighth
Of an inch. or less than one-half that W a
circular saw Its speed Is 4 500 feet pen
II mute We are informed that it cuts pine
timber at the rate Of sixty feet, ami oak
and yellow pine NJ thirty feet a minute,
the logs being from one inch to fve feet IL

The mean averages we're obtained by
taking the total time occupied in running
the total Of the distances shown, and divid-
ing the latter by the number Of hours oc-
cupled by the journey. The greater speed
Is that made between two stations only
The writer observes that no doubt 1t might
be shown that some other companies run
trains as fast OF even faster than those no
ted. he further says The examples Of
runs # 80 miles and upward without stop
ping are numerous The Continental trains
Of the London. Chatham and Dover, run
from Herns Hill to Dover, distance ~
"a miles, without stopping; and the South
eastern, between Cannon street and Dover,
154 miles. The Great Western run from
Paddington to SwIndon, at miles, with
cut stoppage; the Great Northern from
London to Peterboro, and from Grantham
to York, 76t and "a miles respectively /;
while the London and Northwestern com
peny's Irish mails run from Chester to
Holphead, a distance of 85t miles, occupy
ing two hours and seven minutes in the
journey, without stopping, being the long
est run recorded.
The conclusion is, that a few of the
trains named may run a mile III a minute,
but only on unusual smooth portions Of the
road and for but few minutes at time
The time cards allow even the fastest
trains time enough to make their trips
within several miles an hour less than that
figure
