day are the accumulated results of the
bad hygienic influences that have flowed
in upon the race in all past time. Each
human being is now born with one or
more weak points, at which he Is most

Now, it is not often that man knows
what his weak points are, and therefore
il behooves him to observe, as far as pos

possible harm, because thousands of
other men have apparently used these
agents with impunity.
As to these thousands who have APP

BE WARNED.-It does not surprise us TO
learn that in Kentucky there are Democrats
who do not intend to be dragooned by Mr..
WATTERsoN into the support of his free
trade theories. The Democrats everywhere
could consistently stand upon the Virginia
p,atform. but not upon Mr. WATTERsoN's.
The Louisville Post, a Democratic journal,
says:
at Is the duty Of the Democratic party
10 settle Henry Watterson's relations to IT,.
He has filed his paper with declarations
that the party is a free-trade party; that
the issue Is one Of free trade or protection !;
that he will accept no compromise; and
that Democrats who are not free-traders
must leave the organization"
The Post then quotes an extract from
one Of Mr.. wATTERsoN's editorials Of
March 90, 1882, as follows:
"The Democrat who Is not a frce-trader
should 20 elsewhere. He should join the
Republicans. No true Democrat can be n
protectionist. The fiddle PADDLE about the
growing popularity OF protection in the
South should misead no one. The Demo-
cratic party will make free-trade fight in
1884. IL IL loses II, 1t will make another IN
1888. Democrats who can't 60 1t had bet
ter pack up and get out. The conflict be-
tween free trade and protection is irrepres-
sible and must be fought out TO the bitter
end. We spit upon compromise. and pro-
pose neither to ask nor give quarter. We
have hut one political life, and had Just as
soon lay it down on this issue rs any
other"
The Post then adds
"Now, is Mr.. WattPrsOn leader of the
party? II so, those Democrats who are
not frce-traders must leave It. II so, the
party must make a square fight, not for
revenue REFORM but for 'iree-trade In
1884, IL he is not leader, and If the
party is in no way responsible for his utter
auccs, il should suppress him at once.
