The tariff plank adopted by the
Democratic Convention last week Il one
which can hardly fall 10 satisfy the great
mas OF citizens, because Ii embOdies the
very essence Of faimess toall the people.
Every Intelligent voter knows that the
tariff provides large proportion Of the
money necessary 10 pay the expenses Of
the Government, and that for this pur-
pose many millions Of dollars must be
annually levied and collected on i'm
ports. The Democratic platform de-
clares In favor OF a tariff that will pro-
duce this revenue, and insist that such
tariffshould be 50 adjusted ''as TO prevent
unequal burdens, encourage productive
industry at home, afford Just compensa-
ton to labor, but not TO create or foster
monopolies." In other words, this de-
mand Is for tariff so levied that IL viii
afford just compensation to lab0rers and
to the industrial classes, rather than for
Q tariff which win create and enrich
few favored monopolies at the expense
OF the whole people. Undoubtedly
few monOpolists, or those who demand
that the government shall put them in
possession OF a monopoly, will object to
this, and Will declare that ''if the Dem
ocratic ticket Is elected this factory will
close" but the laborer, the farmer, the
mechanic, the men Of all classes who
ask simply the enactment and enforce
ment OF such laws as are fair between
man and man will be satisfied with this
declaration. Indeed, no position on the
tariff question was ever taken that was
more completely fair and Just to the
great majority of industrious citizens,
and the fact will be very generally rec
ognized before the campaign is ended

What the Three German Papers of
Cincinnati Say of the Nominee.

The Tolksfreund says: "The demo-
cratic convention has solved its problem
in the most excellent manner, by plac-
ing Judge Hoadly as candidate for gov
ernor at the head of the ticket. His
nomination will be received with great
enthusiasm and with just pride both by
democrats and by the numerous indie
pendent voters throughout the state,
for Hoadly is, beyond question, the
most brilliant representative which the
democracy of Ohio to-day possesses.
"Judge Hoadly is held in the highest
esteem, and is popular to rare degree,
not only in his own county but also in
the whole state. Everywhere men rec
ognize his splendid abilities, his noble,
irreproachable character, and his out
spoken iberality. In the present pecu-
liar situation in Ohio, where the repub-
lican party, by its shameful alliance
with pietistical bigotry, has alienated
the sympathies of all liberal minded
citizens, especially of the whole Ger
man element, no man can gain their
unanimous support asIHoadly can"
The Volksbldtt says: "After hot and
bitter struggle, such as is seldom made
for mere state nomination, Judge
George Hoadly triumphed in the Sec
ond ballot of yesterdays convention
over his competitors and opponents.
His nomination for the office of gov
ernor, and thus as the standard bearer
of the democratic party,is for two rea-
sons a significant and joyful event. In
the first place, it is victory for the
younger, freer, and more progressive
element of the democratic party over
the old narrow mined, bigoted bour-
bonism, which, to the injury of the
country and to the injury of the demo-
cratic party, has so long ruled in its
councils. And, secondly, this nomina-
ton is a triumph of the cause of per-
sonal liberty, of which the population
of the whole state recognizes Mr.. Hoad-
ly as the most able defender and the
most faithful adherent among all demo-
cratic politicians. This special signifi-
canoe of Hoadly's nomination has Of
late been repeatedly so thoroughly dis
cussed by the Polks6lott, that it is scare
| ly necessary to add anything to what
we have already said. 1t is, therefore
a matter Of course that the nomina-
ton of Hoadly will be most tjoyfully and
cordially received by the liberal portion
of the democratic party. and independ-
ent voters, and will be most zealously
supported by them. Hoadly is by faI
the ablest, the best, and the strongest
candidate whom the democratic party
could have chosen as its leader in the
impending conflict, and the most dan
gerous opponent for the republican par
tyr
The Aazeiger says: "The democratic
state convention has chosen Judge
Hoadly as Its candidate for the govern.
orship, and has thereby made the best
and the strongest nomination possible
under the circumstances"

Not Saloons, But a Broad Principle

Its the cue of the republican papers,
says the Cincinnati Neps Journal, to
charge that democracy is saloon party,
bound hand and foot and delivered to
the liquor interest. The public can not
be misled by this effort to put the occa-
sion above the cause. By. its dealing
with this interest the republican party
has made it the occasion which raises q
question involving every business and
government. The cause for democratic
protest here is not its championship of
one business or another. 1t has nothing
to do with any business; it does not rec
ognize the right of party or government
to meddle with any business, except for
its regulation; but when any party pro-
poses to deal with society at any point
In violation of democratic ideas of the
place and true functions of government,
1t takes alarm for society and COM
mands halt.
The democratic party recognize the
right in society of the exercise of the po-
lice power, through government, to
regulate any business at any point
where it does or may violate the law or
affect the public peace and order. 1t is
becauseit 1t opposes the republican idea of
the continual interference ofgovernment
and the constraint of law, applied to ev-
cry operation OF society, that it opposes

The following, copied from the Low
ell Daily Courier. speaks well of an ar
ticle made in their city: "Hood's Sar-
saparilla is fast growing into use, and
doing much good. This is no patent
medicine but preparation of a stand
ard article for specific diseases, and its
effect is said to be very marked. The
testimonials which they give are bona
fide, from parties who have used the
preparation, and cheerfully give their
testimony as to its worth. Those af-
flicted with scroffdla, biliousness or
general debility, should try this remedy.
Hood & Co. are careful and experienced
pharmacists, and their preparations can
be relied on" jy,12-1m
