Democratic Platform.
New York Sun, 5.

The free trade enthusiasts are, after
all, right in their idea that the true
platform for the Democracy in 1884 is
a tariff for revenue only, and yet they
are but half right, for their idea is but
halt the truth.
1t is time to utter the whole truth
for them and for all branches OF the
Democracy, and here it is:
Flrst-A tariff for revenue only.
Second-The tariff the only source
Of revenue.
The sole difficulty in the case grows
out Of the fact that under the stress Of
civil war we departed from the tradi
tional aud constitutional method oil
raising revenue and added to our an
cient practice of levying duties on i'm
ports the alien and unconstitutional
plan Of direct taxation of individuals
through the hated income tax and the
plan Of excise taxation known as the in
ternal revenue system. The unconsti-
tutional income tax was soon swept
away, but the internal revenue system
was maintained because it paid largely;
and it actually soon became a syStem
Of protection fer sundry great manu-,
featuring interests, such az whisky
making, the making Of friction
matches, and the making Of tobacco
and cigars.
But this system constitutes an limo.
vstion upon the ancient usages of the
government, and the other objections
10 it are grave and manifold. Nothing
but the stern necessity of civil wal
could ever justify it; and now, after
eighteen years of peace, it should be
utterly abolished, except only that part
Of it which imposes a tax on the
manufacture Of ardent spirits
and this should merely be
tolerated until the last relic Of the
civil war shall disappear with the pay.
ment Of the last arrearage of pensions
Then the whisky tax must finally be
abolished.
Meanwhile, the Democratic plat.
form, as understood BY the tariff re,
formers, should be completed by in.
cooperating also the idea Of tbs
internal revenue reformers. Then il
will be the tariff for revenue only
and the tariff the only source Of rev
enue.
This will meet the views Of those
who dislike protection, and it viii
meet the views of those who fear fire.,
trade. The revenue tariff will impose
an average Of forty to forty FIVE pei
cent duty upon all imported goods
and these duties will be levied not fol
the sake of protection, but for the
sake of revenue. Then We all ma!
be happy together and the great battl,
Of reform may be won by the Demoo
racy in 1884.

The Prejudice against Empty
bottles.
Nav Vork Worid

A minister of the gospel was seen in
Brownsville, Pa, with an empty bot
tie protruding from his pocket, while
he walked with an uncertain step; and
the deacon, an evil and censorious
breed, accused him Of drunkenness. 1t
is this villainous spirit which drives
many good men in their graves. If
there is q harmless object in this
world it is an empty bottle, and any
generous mind would be touched by
the perfect helpnessness of the poor
thing, as the minister clearly was when
he gave it hospitality in his pocket.
How easily he might have dropped it
by the wayside If there had been any
thing criminal in the relation between
them

The First General Assembly OF
0nneanoe.

As the ADD General Assembly Of
Tennessee has just adjourned, it may
be matter OF some interest to refer
to the first Legislature ia the State,
The following facts are cleaned from a
rare old book called Life as it IS,'
but can be substantiated from various
other sources:
On Monday, the 18th Of March,
1895, little more than 81 years ago,
the first General Assembly OF Tennes>
see convened at Knoxville. 1t con
tinued in session for rs days, and
passed 80 laws. The first Speaker of
the Senate was James Winchester, and
the first Speaker of the House was
James Stewart. General John Sewer
was iuaugurated Governor, and VIM.
Machn chosen Secretary of State
We note a difference in the salaries of
members and other State officers then
and at present. The members Of the
Assembly received 81 IS per day, and
the same for every rs miles travel,
going and returning. The salary OF
the Governor was $3.50. At that time
the circulating medium of the country
was gold and silver.
On the 18th of November 1907 the
Nashville Bank was chartered by the
Legislature, capital $2O0,0O0 On the
10th of November, 1872, the Bank of
the State of Tennessee, at Knoxville,
was chartered, with capital of $780,.
600. These banks we're organized and
soon went into operation.
Many of the laws enacted after our
State government was formed we're
similar to those OF North Carolina.
The latter State enacted law in 1876
providing that all persons convicted
OF horse stealing should be branded
with red hot iron on the right cheek
with the letter H, and on the left with
the letter T; stand in the pillory one
hour,b publicly whipped on his bare
back with thirty-nine lashes, and at the
same time have both of his or their
ears nailed to the pillory and then cut
off,"
This law was enacted in Tennessee,
and we are told many persons were
convicted and punished accordingly.
This seemingly very cruel and inhu.
man law was repealed, both in Moth
Carolina and Tennessee, aud in it's
stead was enacted a law inAicting death
BY hanging upon persons guilty of
horse stealing, This was the law in
both North Carolina and Tennessee.
la 1907, however, the Legislature
thought proper to repeal this severe
penalty, and substituted in its stead
punishment by whipping, branding in
the hand. standing in the pillory
and Imprisonment. This law re.
NAMED in force until the year 1929,
when the penitentiary system was
adopted.

An Instantaneous Light.
Boston Trans.ript. Dec. so,


Such in a word is the unique appa-
ratus on exhibition at the rooms Of
the Portable Electric Light Co., %
Water street, Boston. 1t occupies the
space OF only five square inches and
weighs bat FIVE pounds, and can be
carried with ease. The light, or more
properly lighter. requires no extra
power, wires or connections, and is so
constructed that any part can be re-
placed at small cost. The chemicals
are placed in a glass retort; a carbon
and zine apparatus, with a spiral plat
mum attachment, is thus adjusted SO
as to form battery, and the light is
ready. The pressure on little knob
produces an electric current by which
the spiral of platinum is heated to
incandescence. The Portable Electric
Light Company was recently incorpo
rated, With a capital of 100000, under
the laws Of Massachusetts. The use
fitness of the apparatus, and the low
price (s5) will no doubt result 10 its
general adoption. Some of the promi-
nent business men Of the State are
identified with this enterprise. In
addition to its use as a lighter, the
apparatus can also be used in counec
ton with burglar alarm and galVauie
battery,

On the Selma railway trains run
daily from Holly Springs to Byhalia, a
distance of Is miles. and the gap Of
26 miles between Byhalia and Judge
Wright's place, near the fernando
road, needs iron before it can be
utilized by the public. The works at
Indianapolis, Ind, supplied the iron
now laid, and it is said that to secure
their claim of S65, 600, the company
may be induced to furnish the balance
wanted, so the road may be put
through the ensuing summer. AT
least, efforts are in progress looking to
this result. The present contractors,
Green, Hamilton 4 Co., have received
about $4,000 on their contract for
S250,O00 and the remainder is due, but
they have lien on the road for the
amount. To secure the iron and the
completion of the road, they will con-
sent to division of their lien with
the iron makers, and give equal right
with themselves to that company.
