slve to the great masses OF the people,
while fostering monopolies and at the
same time raising unnecessary sur
plus revenne, to be q temptation to
corrupt and extravagant expenditure.
4. That we believe the true Demo-
cratic doctrine upon this subject is
that the Government ought not and
has no right to tax the people enc
dollar more than is necessary to raise
revenue sufficient to pay the expen-
sss of the Government economically
administered. That there is no con,
stitutional warrant for a tariff levied
for any other purpose, and that every
dollar raised in excess Of the necessary
expenses Of the Government is an un-
just and illegal sxaction.
8. That We oppose the renewal of
the tax on whisksy and tobacco at
present, and believe the surplus reve-
nae should be reduced by removing
the tax on the necessaries of life; that
while two thirds of the internal rev
enue has been swept away, the tariff
has remained substantially the same
| as at the close of the war.
6. That we believe an immediate
reform ofthe tariff is alike demanded
by common sense and common hons
esty, and that further continuance
of the same is wrongful to the coun.
try and antagonistic to the principles
OF the Democratic party.
| Z. That we favor a tariff that will
afford no more revenue han will de-
fray the current expenses of the gov
ernment, economically administered,
and so levied as to confer the greatest
good on the American people.
8. That in all future conventions
that the majority rule be adopted.

and Hendricks by the Chicago con.
vention. H

A gymnast of the glen and glade,
Whose circus ia the grass
The sand is round him like ring
He has no wish to halt
l see the supple fellow spring
Tomake asomersaultl
Though he is volatile and fast,
His feet are slim as pegs.
How can his reckless motions last
Upon such slender ltgs2
Below him lazy beetles creep;
He gyrates round and round
One moment vaulting in leap,
The next upon the ground
He hops amid the fallen twigs
SO agile In his glee,
I'm sure he's danced hundred jigs
with no one near TO seel
He tnmbles up, he tumbles down.
And from his motley hue,
IT'S clear he is an insect clown
Beneath tent of blue
