ORGANIC DEMOCRATIC LAW.
The National and the Kentucky Demo-
cracy on the Tariff.


RESOLUTION OF THE STATE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION OF 1885, JUST ADJOURNED.
ReSOlred, That the Democracy of Ken
lucky, in convention assembled, reafIirm
our unaltered confidence in and affection
for the principles and policy embodied in
the organic law of the Democratic party,
adopted at the National Democratic Con-
ventiOn held at st. Louis in 1876, and rati-
fed at Cincinnati in 1880.
RESOLUTION Oh THE NATIONAL DEMO-
CRATIC CONVENTION OF 1876, ENDORSED
n REAFFIRMED BY THE FOREGOING.
We den0unce the present tariff, levied
upon nearly 1000 articles, as a master
piece o~finiustice, inequality and false pre-
tense. 1t yields adwindling, not a yearly
rising, revenue 1t has impoverished
many industries to subsidiZe a few. 1t
prohibits imports hat might purchase the
products of American labor. 1t has de-
graded American cOmmece from the first
to IN inferior rank on the high seas. 1t
has cut down the sales of American man
ufactures at home and abroad and de-
pleted the returns of American agricul-
ure-an industry followed by half our
people. 1t costs the people five times
more than it produces to the Treasury, OBJ
structs the processes of production and
wastes the fruits of labor. 1t promotes
fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dis
honest officials and b%ankrupts honest
merchants. We demand that all custom
house taxation shall be only for revenue.
RESOLUTION OF THE NATIONAL CONVEN-
TION OF 1880, ENDORSED AMI REAF-
FIRMED BY THE FOREGOING.
Home rule; honest money, consisting
of gold, silver and paper, convertible on
demand; the strict maintenance of the
public faith, State and National, and a
tariff for revenue only.

times; had the humps, measles and

One of the American schemes in Mexico
it seems has fallen through. The United
States and Mexican Construction and
Guarantee Company of Washington was
to deposit $500, 600 as a guarantee. This
has not been done. and the President of
Mexico has declared the contract forfeit
ed. There is a quiet struggle going on
between United States n Engllsh
capitalists as to the control of the BUSH
ness Of Mexico. The English have plainly
got hold of the Mexican finances with
heavy mortgages on all the customs du-
ties, both export and import. This Will
give them control of the state banking.
The feudal granted charter by King
Charles /. to Sir F~erdinando Georges, OF
Maine, in 1889, gave more extensive
powers than were ever bestowed by the
crown upon any other subject. Under
them a Recorders Court Tor the CITY OF
GOrgiana was established, having Juris-
diction over all criminal ~otfenses, and
from whose judgments no appeal could be
taken. 1t is presumed that a trial by jury
was allowed. but whether as a matter OF
right is uncertain, as but few particulars
exist as to the modes of procedure. The
first capital case before his novel trlbu-
nal was that of a woman charged with
numbering her husband in 1914.
Mr.. Lola Scott, the Creek half-breed,
has certainly furnished evidence that his
people nave progressed in spite of the dis
turbed state of affairs in the territory.
He says that fifty years ago he used to
paint and go to war dances with the rest
of the braves, but within the past twenty
years he has joined the Baptist Church,
helped to sell three hundred sewing ma
chimes, and seen reapers come into general
use among the tribe. Even If they have a
little family quarrel on hand, this is better
than making a living by snaring catfish
and hunting squirrels with a bow n
arrow. They have even substituted the
improved Winchester rifle for the last
named implement.
The Ridge of Death is a high and very
steep hill over which the road from the
City of Mexico to Garcia, n of the prin-
cipal mining towns, leads. The road cOn-
sists of a mere track up one side and down
the other, winding around stones and trees
that might easily be removed. The freight
wagons are strong, heavy, two-wheeled
concerns, to which two mules are attach
ed, with as high as sixteen others hitched
in front in platOOns of four. In going up
the hill two or three teams will be hitched
to a single wagOn-frOm twenty-four to
thirty-siX mules-and even with this much
dragging power the ascent is the work of
hours. In going up there is no danger,
but serious accidents are frequent in com
ing down, when the brakes are liable TO
break, INT the wagon runs in on the stock
and makes a general average of mules and
load.

In "A Tight Box.

The indications are that the election
this fall in Ohio will turn almost wholly
on the liquor question. The Republicans
having passed the Scot law its constitu-
tiOnality is questioned, and cannot be
passed upon until the date fixed for the
State Convention, so there is talk of post
poning the convention. 1t would be unfOr-
tunate for the party to find it had passed
an unconstitutional act for a second time
on this question; but the act is passed, and
the party cannot help adhering to its
principle without being defeated. The
Republicans of Ohio seem hardly TO have
learned hat a party is never put in power
for what il does not helieYe in.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat remarks:
LET the party at large follow the Presi-
dents example, and, managing its own
affairs, prevent self-cOnstituted managers
from disgusting and driving off the self
respecting and sensible men who decline
to become tools. If this can be one there
will be no danger of e~lecting a Democratic
President" This is a difficult contract
for the party to fill, and besides Mr.. Conk-
ling thinks there is not only danger but
certainty of the election of a Democratic
President.

~ tai, 100000. 1t is proposed to increase
the capital of the REPPARD IRON COM
PANY from $l25,O00 to $3.50 900. They offer
for sale $25,000 worth of the new stock at par.
They have demands for their iron sufficient
to cover the increase in the capital stock.
Our gross income is about 10 per cent 3, eX-
penses and taxes about 2 per cent, and
dividends s per cent, leaving about . per
cent. for the sinking fund. This sinking fund
we reipkest constantly in New Iron, and we
consider this sinking fund in excess of what is
worn out. We believe the iron viii last longer
than eleven years, and if it should wear out
in eleven years we could then sell the old iron
for something. We consider this to be a good
Investment stock, and would recommend il TO
the public. Subscriptions in as small amount
as one share will be taken, consequently it is
a good investment for small capitalists. Its
dividends are quarterly, and we have every
reason to hope that we can continue TO pay 2
per cent. quarterly, and perhaps to increase
IL to 20 per cent. in a short time. For sub
