In other countries, sometime by Its own
weight aud sometimes in alliance with
the army, has been able to rule the I'M
organized masses even under universal
suffrage. Here it has already grown in
10 gigantic power capable of sitting

administration, until msgovernment be-

OUR SCHOOLS.

OF sectional contentious, and in res
pect to our common schools, have only
this to say: That III my judgment, the
man, the man or party that would involve
our schools In political or sectarian
controversy is an enemy to the schools.
The common schools are safer under the
protecting care of all the people than
under the coLtrol of any party or sect
They must be neither sectarian no T par
tisan, and there must be neither division
nor misappropriation of the funds for
their supprrt Likewise l regard the
man who would arouse or foster section
al animosities and antagOnis ms among
his countrymen as q dangerous enemy to
his country. All the people must be
made to feel and know that once more
there is established purpose and policy
under which all citizens of every eondl-
ton, race and color, will be secure in the
enjoyment Of whatever rights the consti-
tuition and laws declare or recognize and
that in controversies that may arise the
Government is not partisan, but within
its constitutional authority tie just and
powerful guardian of the rights and safe
ty of all. The strife between the sections
the power for evil is taken away from a
party that makes political gain out of
violence and bloOdshed, aud the constitu-
nonal authority is placed in the hands of
men whose political welfare requires that
peace and good order shall be preserved
everywhere.

from internal liberation, and Uterine
disease, Syphilitic and Mercurial dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Emaciation,

This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable alternatives - StiIlingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficaciouS medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so slzilfuIly COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectua1 as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repOse IN 1t, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority Of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

OUR INDUSTRIES.

With the Industries of the people
there have been frequent interferences.
Our platform truly says that many ins
dustries have been impoverished to SUBJ
sidize a few. Our commerce has been
degraded to an inferior position on the
high seas; manufactures have been di-
unfinished; agriculture has been embarl
raised, and the distress of the Industrial
classes demands that these things shall
be reformed.
The burdens of the people must also
be hghtened by a great change in our
system of public expenses. The profit
gate expenditures which increased taxa
ton from five dollars per capita 10 1860
to eighteen dollars In 1870 tells its own
story of our need of fiscal reform.
Our treaties with foreign powers
should also be revised and amended, in
so far as they leave citizens of foreign
birth in any particular less secure in
any country on earth than they would
be if they had been born on our own
soil; and the iniqaitous coolie system
which, through the agency of wealthy
companies, imports Chinese bondmen,
and establishes a species of slavery, and
interferes with the just rewards of labor
on our Pacific coast, should be utterly
abolished
In the reform of our civil service, ]
most heartily indorse that section of the
platform which declares that the civil
service ought not to be Subject tc
change at every election" and that it
ought not to be made "the brief reward
of party zeal, but ought to "be awarded
for proved competency and held for i3eL
| ity in the public employ" ! hope never
again to see the cruel and remorseless
prescription for political opinions which
has disgraced the administration of the
| last eight years Bad as the civil service
now is, as all know, it has some men of
tried integrity and proved ability. Suct
men, and such men only, sho1ld be re-
taiped in Office; but no man should be
retained on any eonsid Grafton who has
| prostituted his Office to the purposes o.
partisan intimidation or compulsIon, OF
who has furnished money to corrupt the
elections. This is done and has been
done in almost every county Of the land
1t is a blight upon the morals Of the
co untry, and ought to be reformed
