The red, black and green sorts of tea they

tea in small cups, and without sugar.
Though in China there are excellent sorts
OF grapes, yet no wine is prepared there. The
Chinese make two kinds of whislky-of sargo

Women also drink and smoke here. A tin
gill of the shape of an hour-glass is used for
whisky-drinking. They had no glass-works

The Platform Adopted 6y the Democrat
state Contention, AssDttst 3, 1888.

The Platform Adopted by the Democratic
State Contention, august 3, 1888.
We, the Democracy of Minnesota, in
convention assembled, reafirm our devo-
tion to the time-honored maxims of the
Democratic party, that that government is
best which governs least; which leaves the
citizens in the enjoyment of the greatest
personal liberty consistent with the rights
of others and the public welfare; and while
it affords fall protection to life and prop
erty, allows the creeds, business and Gus
toms of the people to remain unfettered
by sumptuary laws, class legislation and
extortionate monopolies.
First-That every species of taxation
levied upon the many for the profit of the
few, creating monopolies and producing a
revenue in excess of the wants of the gov
eminent, economically administered, is
unjust, tyrannical and dangerous. Sound
policy requires that the business of people
should be free from oppressive duties and
vexatious restraints, and that all legisla-
tion in reference thereto should be impair
tial in its objects and equal in its burdens.
We, therefore, favor such thorough re-
vision of the present tariff laws as will
remedy existing evils and result in the
establishment of tariff for revenue only.
as the permanent commercial policy OF
this country.
Second-That constitutions are made to
protect the minority of the people against
the encroachments of the majority; that
no proposition for change of or amend
ment to the organic law of the state should
be entertained or submitted to vote of
the people, which, if adopted by the ma
jority, would prevent the minority from
exercising their inherent and inalienable
rights. That we consider the enactE ent
of sumptnary and prohibitory laws sub
version of the rights of the people and
that we are unalterably opposed to them.
Third-That we appreciate the impor-
tance of liberal appropriations for the i'm
provement of the Mississippi river; but,
inasmuch as the river and harbor bill has,
under Republican administrations, be
come an s'omnibus" for the corrupt COM
would favor the adoption Of an amend
ment to the constitution comforting upon
the president the power to veto such pro-
visions OF the river and harbor bills and all
other appropriation bills, as, in his judg-
ment, are unwarranted.
Fourth-That the patent laws should be
revised, to the end that the inrooent pur-
chasers of manufactured articles, using
the same in good faith, shall be protected
from harrasslng and oppressive suits for
the infringement of patent rights.
RssoEred, That the maintenance in pow
er of any political party for an undue
length of time tends to an assumption Of
power inconsistent with democratic prin-
ciples of government, and is dangerous to
the rights of the people, and we therefore
urge upon the electors of this state they
carefully investigate the existing state of
things with reference to change of state
administration in their own interests.

Free Trade Conference.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.-The free trade con-
ference was concluded to-day with long
debate between some members insisting
on absolute free trade and Others who favor
an attempt to eliminate protection. The
latter opinion prevailed. An address to
the people of the country was prepared,
declaring that protection was ruinous
measure, and all possible means should be
taken to abolish it Immediately. Most of
the gentlemen declared they were straight
out free traders in theory, but thought it
wise to strike at protection as prelimina-
ry step. A literary bureau was agreed
upon to furnish free trade matter to the
press generally and especially to country
papers. Ex-Gov. John s. Phelps, of Mis-
souri,, presiding officer, stated before ad-
journment that the time of the next con-
ference would be announced hereafter.
After adjournment a conference of the
Missouri State Free Trade league was
formed, with e1-Gov. Phelps as president.

Among the choice delicacies of the Chinese

the nests of sea swallows. Under the latter

nests on the sea rocks cover their nests and
sue them to the rocks with the juice of sea
cane, which, on being dried, looks like mucil-
aginous membrane. On the market these
nests are found in the shape of hemisphere
of the size OF a half orange peel. The nests
are sold here at from SIS to S25 per pound.
They are used principally for making broth,
towhich they give peculiar aroma and
taste, much varied by astronomers
