The Hickman Courier does nGttepdiate
the Demo cratic party on the tariff but on
the contrary we hold that ihsony two
Congresses since the war in Rhich the
Democrats held majority endorsed the
Couriers position by failing 10 pass my
free trade measure and by elscung Mr..
Randall, an anti free trade d,mocrat, TO
the highest Office within theirgift. We
take Il that all true democrats are in favor
of tariff reform and revision, but in thus
raising revenue they are DESTROYS Of al.
lowing an equitable protection to home in
dus,ries, jealousy guarding against fOs-
tering shy monopOITcs.
The Courier has no sympathy with that
prejudice which INDUCES in Wholesale
denunciAtion of the tariff; that would
wipe cut all the National Banks; or, that
opposes the live, progressive Development
Of the country by Federal AID 10 in ,erna
| improvements Such views may have
suited the pioneer age Of this country
the Shepherd era Of the worlds history
or any purely agricultural diHrict-bu
they do not answer the wants and inter,
esls OF this age.
The next Congress will be Democratic
and then the tariff win be revised By lop
ping of its unequal protection to certain
great monoplies, and then win truly be
gin the golden era of this countrys pros
peri'y. Even now, with all The burden
OF taxation, real aud imaginary, 'alked o
by politicians, all classes Of our people wh
will work, are enjoying a prosperity un
equaled in he history OF this country.
These self-sama politicians, appe alint
to the prejudices Of past day, nay shou
themselves hoarse abusing Naiiona
Banks, bat the intelligence Of The day i
growing more solid, day by day, in tn
belief that the people now have the safes
and best paper money ever Known in thi
country, aud this belisf vii continue I

ticians can suggest a betterystem. Ger
tainly this country will nesr return t
the wild cat money whid flooded tn
country before tie war. TAfarmer nov

under the former system e get wha

10 cents. Every true demOSat would re
