The Government CLOCK.

Henry Clay Dean, noted for his ex
traOrdinary force of intellect and ca
pacity to tell what he thinks, says that
the Democratic doctrines taught by
Thomas Jefferson are the only reliable
basis Of free government, and the
Democratic organization is the only
one which has made a direct warfare
upon government monopolies. 1t
abolished primogeniture, entails, inn
prisonment for debt, property qualifi-
cations for Office and for the right of
suffrage. Under Democratic admins
tration there has not been a suppress
sion of newspaper, never an arbitra-
ry arrett, never suppression of the
habeds corpus, never a declaration of
martial law but once then it was by
General Jackson on the eve of the
battle of New Orleans, for which he
was fined by Judge Hill, when the
General very meekly paid his fine
Under Democratic rule there was never
a revenue law which established a sys
tenn of spies, detectives, and public in
formers. The Federal Government,
under a Democratic administration,
never chartered corporation.
Mr.. Dean might have gone further
and stated that the pendulum of pop
ular passion, which was thrust violent
ly towards the utmost point of central
ization and Imperialism by hostility to
secessionism, now moves backward
toward Jefersonian republicanism
The hands of the clock-work of gov
ernment will soon designate the hour
when the Republic of our fathers will
be reproduced; when the people, as
contra-distinguished from banks, cor
porations, and railway magnates. ag-
grandized by base uses to which the
government has been sqbordinated,
will shape the laws. Then it will be
a re-discovered fact that this govern
ment was instituted by the people, for
the people, and was never designed as
q monstrous piece ofinvolved mechan-
ism employed in wrestling more than
$400, 900, ,OOO of money annually from
popular toll to be absorbed by place
holders, when, at the same time, a
sum threefold greater, by the same i'll
direct processes of taxation, is thrust
into the pockets of protected" classes
1t is time that the clock of public pol
icy, as it has been running for twenty
years, were turned backward and reg
ulated." A great reform is needed for
every second mark on its face.-TThe
American Register.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1883-01-04

IT is universally conceded that there
is a necessity for reform in the reve-
nue. service, and ever many Republi-
cans are beginning to see the iniquities
of the protective tariff system and to
admit that it is a system Of robbery
and injustice. Yet in all the measures
proposed in Congress recommending a
change. there is scarcely .one that is
not in the interest of the rich and cal
culated to compel consumers to pay an
undue share Of the expenses of govern
ment. Equal taxes should be levied
on all things, and men should be COM
PEELED to contribute to the support of
the government which protects them
and their wealth, according to their
means, and that can only lie accom-
plished by graduated income tax.
That is the only manner in which the
millionaires with their colossal in
comes made from the industry of the
country, can be reached, and any sys'
tenn of obtaining the revenues of a gov
ernment which eXempts from taxation
the most wealthy class and that mos'
able to pay is unjust and oppressive.

A GRAND GIFT,
John IL. Buchtei's 100000 for AK.
rOn's College.


John r. Buchtel last week announc-
Ell his intention of giving 100000 in
cash to the institution of learning
which bears his name. He recently
sold his interest in the Buckeye Works
to Lewis Miller and sons for about
$500, 600, and at once resolved to give
an even 100000 to Buchtel College.
Ii is his desire that the money be ex-
pended in the construction of a build
ing adjoining the present one, to be
arranged for college building exclu-
sively. while the old one will be used
for dormitory only. Jacob Snyder is
already preparing plans for the new
structure. Mr.. Buchtels birthday an
niversary occuls on January Is, and
the day has been observed at the
college as Founders Day. The formal
presentation of this last splendid token
of Mr.. Buchtel's devotion to the cause
OF education will be made ON that day,
and it is designed to make it a memo
rable occasion in the annals of the col.
lege. A general invitation is extended
to Universalists throughout the coun-
try to be present, and pany distin
guished men and women will attend
Fuller particulars will be given when
the arrangements are perfected.-[A Ak
