The True Friends Of the Sugar In
terest.

We find the subjoined extracts
from the Thibodeaux Sentiwel re-
published in the PicayNne. Our
city contemporary, says the shreye-
port Times, has been decidedly lax
in its Democracy, and mainly be-
cause it is naturally in sympathy
with the sugar planters. The Sen
kno1 is published in the heart Of
the sugar country, but seems to
reach conclusions the reverse of
those Of the Picay,sne.:
With the Democratic party we
will have some protection in the
way Of duties on sugar. 1t treats
sugar as it does other industries
But the Republican party has been
driving, straight along, to put SUI
gar on the free list, and then raise
revenues by higher duties on North
ern industries, thereby protecting
them, to our ruin. 1t has admitted
sugar free from the Hawaiian Is
lands, supplying the entire country
from st. Louis to the Pacific coast.
It has worked a treaty through the
Senate by which sugar will come
from Mexico free, and it is said
that the President is now negotia-
ting treaty by which sugar will
come from St. Domingo free from
duty. This accomplished, the ia
riff on sugar will be efectually
destroyed. Leading Republican
members of Congress have resolu-
tons before that body to put sugar
on the free list. With the Demo-
cratic party sugar will fare the
same fate as other industries. With
the present dominant power it will
60 on the free list, while wool and
other Northern industries will be
fostered and strengthened in conse-
quence. See platform of Republi-
can party that nominated Blaine at
Chicago. Take either horn of the
dilemma and the prospect will not
be pretty. Is it not better to stand
with those who have stood by us in
our dark hours, and be treated fair
ly, than it will be to go to those
! who condemned, abused and kicked
us, in utterly running our peculiar
industries?

Ar enthusiastic meeting Of in
dependent Republicans was held in
Rochester, New York, on the 18th
which was attended by many lead
ing merchants, professional men,
manufacturers and bankers. Strong
speeches wer made, all the speak
ers uniting in the opinion that
Blaine and Logan should be de-
feated by the independent Repub-
lican movement. Many favored the
nomination at the New York con-
ference to be held on the 22d, Of
an independent ticket if practical
bic, and nearly all favored support
ing Cleveland in preference to
Blaine. 1t was resolved that the
existing disaffection in the Repub-
lican party offers an opportunity
which should not be suffered to pass
without effecting permanent or
ganization, not only for the purpo-
ses of the approaching election, but
for ulter!or action, and that wheth-
er the coming conference in New
York shall determine to support
the Democratic candidates or to
nominate others it should act by its
own instrumentalities, and should
perpetuate itself with q view to the
! future Il Exchange.

sioners; knowing full well, howev-
er, that legislation affecting the &C.
cupaton of the people should be
cautious and conservative in meth
cd, not in advance of public opin-
ion, but responsive to its demands.
The Democratic party is pledged
to revise the tariff in spirit of fair
ness to all interests.
The. Civil Service.-The various
Offices of the government belong to
the people thereof, who rightfully
demand to be allowed to exercise
and fill the same whenever they are
fitted by capacity, integrity and en-
ergy; the last two qualifications
never to be tested by any scholas-
tic examination. We hold that fire.
q,lent changes Of Federal officers
are shown to be necessary, first, to
counteract the growing aristocratic
tendencies to a caste of life offices;
second, experience having shown
that all investigation is useless
while the incumbent and his asso-
ciates hold their places. Frequent
changes Of officers is necessary to
the discovery and punishment Of
frauds, populations, defalcations
and entertainments of the public
moaey.
Resolved, That we adhere to and
affirm the doctrine enunciated and
established by Jackson-that the
government alone has the power to
establish and issue money for the
people. That the issue Of the legal
tender note made by tho govern
ment as a method of borrowing
money to carry on the war, in tho
exercise Of constitutional power
has become the fixed policy of the
United States equally as coined
gold or silver. That neither poll.
cv nor duty calls for any meddling
with it.

PLATFORM
TIE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
--OF--

IHE NATsgNhA yEMVgEAIiG 2AEi l,
The following is the synopsis Of
the Platform adopted at Chicago,
en- July sth:
The Democratic party of the
Union, through its representatives
in National Convention assembled,
recognizes that as the nation grows
older new issues are born of time
and progress, and old issues perish,
bat the fundamental principles Of
the Democracy, approved by the
united voice Of the people, remain
and ever will remain as the best
and only security for the continu-
anee of free government, the pre-
servation of the personal rights Of
the States, and the supremacy of
the Federal government within the
limits of the Constitution will ever
form the true basis of our liberties,
and can never be surrendered with
out destroying that balance of
rights and powers which enable the
continent to develop in peace and
social order to be maintained by To-
cal self-goverument- 1t is indis-
pensable for the practical applica-
ton and enforcement Of these fun
damental principles that the gov
eminent should not be controlled
by the same political party. A fire.
quent change of the administration
is as necessary as the constant re-
curence to the popular will !; other
wise, abuses grow and the govern
ment, instead of being carried Oh
for the general welfare, becomes an
instrument for imposing heavy bur.
dens on the many who are govern,
ed for the benefit of the few who
govern-public servants thus be-
come arbitrary rulers. This is now
the condition of the country, an6
hence a change is demanded. The
Republican party, SO far as princi
pie. is concerned, is a reminiscence
in practice. It is an organization
for enriching those who control it:
machinery. The frauds and jobbe
ry which have been brought to ligh'
in every department of the govern
mcnt are sufficient to have called
for reform within the Republican
party, yet those in authority, made
reckless by the long possession o
power, have succumbed to it's cor
rupting influence and have PLACED
in nomination a ticket, agains
which the independent portion o
the party are in open revolt. :
Therefore, a change is demanded
Such change was alike necessar.
in 1876, but the will Of the people
was then defeated by fraud which
can never be forgotten nor con
doned. Again, in 1880, the chang
demanded by the people was de
feated by the lavishness of none.

been depressed; it imposed and has
continued those burdens. It pro-
fesses the policy of reserving the
public lands for small holdings by
actual settlcrs-it has given away
the peoples heritage till now few
railroads and nonresident aliens,
individual and corporate, possess
larger area than that of all our
farms between the two seas; it pro-
fesses a preference for free institu-
tons; it organized and has tried to
legalize q control of the State cleo
tions,by Federal troops; tprofesses
a desire to elevate lahor-it has
subjected American workingmen
to the competition of convict and
imported convict labor; it processes
gratitude to all who were disabled
or died in the war, leaving widow
and orphans: it has left to a Dem
ocratic House of Representatives
the first effort to equalize both
bounties and pensions. 1t proffers
a pledge to correct the irregulari-
ties of our tariff; it created and has
continued them. Its own Tariff
Commission confessed the need of
more than 20 per cent. reduction;
its Congress gave a reduction Of
less than 2 per cent. 1t professe
the protection of American manu-
features; it has subjected them to
an increasing food of manufactured
goods and hopeless competition
with manufacturing nations, not
one of which taxes raw materials.
1t processes to protect all Ameri-
can industries. It has impover-
ished many to suhsidize few. 1t
has impoverished many to subsi-
die few. 1t processes the pro-
lection of American labor-it has
depleted the returns of American
agriculture, an industry followed
by half our people. 1t processes
the equality of all men before the
attempting to fix the status
of colored citizens. The acts Of its
Congress were overset by the deci-
sions of it's courts. 1t accepts a
new the duty Of leading in the
work Of progress and reform. Its
caught criminals are permitted to
escape through the contrived delays
or actual connivance of the prose
t cution. Honey-combed with cor.
ruption, outbreaking exposures nc
longer shock it's moral sense. Its
honest members and it's indepen'
dent, journals no longer maintain a
successful contest for authority in
its counsels Or a veto upon a bao
nomination. That a change is ne

The Graces. of Mental Culture

Philadelphia Call.
Graces that are the most per-
manent and attractive are those
ofthe mind. Delicacy, sweetness,
GOOD sense and s%ensibility, bea-
ming from the eyes, giving a
kind and genial expression to
the countenance, more than
compensate for any irregularity
or plainness Of features, and
sooner excite admiration and
love in a really sensitive heart
than the best formed-face and
finest complexional hue, wanting
intellectual expression, and Civ
ing no indications of kind and
benevolent emotions.
Nature of course must give
the germ of these enrolling
qualities, but by no other means
are they so effectually called
forth and improved as by the
cultivation of the mind and the
acquisition of a purely literary
taste by the judicions reading
of properly selected books.
Even a sculptor gives expression
and beauty to the rude unshap-
en- block of marble, so mental
culture, readily acquired by read
ing and studying methodical
books wisely selected, gives a
pleasing expression and attrac-
tiveness to the countenance,
and grace and loneliness to the
demeanor.
In ones intercourse with the
world, he can not fail to feel
that the absence of an intellec-
tual expression often mars the
beauty and renders unattractive
those who have naturally we'll
formed faces and symmetrical
figures. The natural passions
OF such are usually undef no
control, and consequently often
give the eye an envious or dis
dainful, if not an artful look.
repugnant to friendly feelings
and repellent to social inter
course. Whenever the face gives
no indication of intelligence.
whatever external beauty il
may possess and however sym
metrical may be its form anc
features, though it may make
good model for an artist, per
feet to the eye, yet it will no
excite the higher emotions of thu
mind, nor make a deep or favo
rable impression on the behold
or.
