Tie democrats in their national plat

following mastery manner:
The democratic party is pledged to
revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to
all interests, but in making a reduction
IN he taxes it is not, proposed to iniure
any domestic industries, but rather to
promote their healthy growth. The
taxes collected at the custom house have
been the chief source Of federal revenue,
and such they must continue to be.
Moreover, many industries have counted
upon legislation for successful continu-
ance, SO that every change of law must
be at every step regardful of the labor
and capital thus involved. The process
Of reform must be subject to the execu-
ton of this plain dictate of Justice. All
taxation shall be limited to the require
ments of an economical government.
The necessary reduction in taxation can
and must be effected without depriving
Americas lab0rers of the ability to COM
pete successfully with foreign labor and
without imposing lower rates of duty
than will be ample to cover any in
creased cost Of production, which may
exist in consequence of the higher rate
of wages prevailing in this country.
Sufficient revenue to pay all expenses of
the federal government properly admin
istered, including pensions, interest and
principal Of the public debt, can be got
under our present system Of taxation
from custom house taxes or fewer inn
ported articles, bearing the heaviest on
articles of luxury, and bearing highest
on articles of necessity. We therefore
denounce the abuses of the existing
tariff, and, subject to the preceding linz
itations, we demand that federal tax
alton shall be exclusively for public
purposes, and shall not exceed the needs,
Of the government economically admin
istefed.

means by which English ships OF war
could easily enter the Pacific and prey
upon the commerce of Spain was as
much desired by the one Nation as 1t
was feared by the other.
Even were this passage not dlscoy,

her Pacific commerce Spain could not
hope to enjoy forever. The monarch
of that powerful Nation was the person
itication Of arrogance. Over all lands
even technically discovered by his sub
jects he claimed dominion and the ex-
elusive right of trade, even if no settle
ment of any kind had been attempted.
Foreigners of all Nations were prohib-
tied, under pain of death, from having
any Intercourse whatever with such ter
ritories, or navigating the adjacent
waters. The result of such presump-
ton was most disastrous to Spain.
English, Dutch and French ''free-trad-
ersS made sad havoc with the Spanish
shipping on the Atlantic Coast OF Amer
lea; and though these ravages were
continued in times of peace, they were
winked at by the rival soVereigns, who
often directly, and always indirectly,
received their share of the booty, and
one Of these robbers, Captain Francis
Drake, was knighted by his queen for
being the most daring and successful of
them all. And why not? Many peer
of England has been created for less
services to his country than were rem
dered by Sir Francis Drake in leading
the assault upon the great avenue OF
wealth through which came the means
of putting atoat that wonderful Span
ish Armada, from whose power England
was saved only by the Valor of her sea-
men and the winds of Heaven.
These rowing marauders made great
exertions to discover northern route
into the Pacific, urged on by reports OF
the wonderful richness of the East
Indian commerce of Spain. Unsuccess-
full in this. they finally invaded the
South Sea by the passage Of Magellan
tempestuous straits. The pioneer OF
these was Drake. In 1878 he thus
passed into the South Sea, and spread
terror and devastation along the coast
He captured the East Indian Galleon,
levied contributions on the Spanish
ports, and finally with his only remain
ing vessel freighted with plumber,
sailed north with the purpose OF reach
ing the Atlantic through the Straits OF
Anian. In this he was thwarted, and
to avoid the Spanish fleet awaiting him
at the Straits of Magellan, he returned
to England by way of the Cape OF
Good Hope. Other english freeboot-
ers, encouraged by the dazzling success
OF Drake, followed his example, and
for years Spain's commerce in the Pa.

How Intelligence Progresses.

From the lowest to the highest
creatures, intelligence progresses by
acts of determinations; and it contin-
ues so to progress among men, from
the most ignorant 10 the most cultur-
ed. TO class rightly-to put in the
same group things which are of essen
TALLY the same natures, and other
groups things of natures essentially
different--is the fundamental condition
to right guidance of actions. Begin
ming with rudimentary vision, which
gives warning that some large Opaque
body is passing near Gust as closed
eyes turned to the window perceiving
the shade caused by q hand put before
them, tell us of something moving in
'front.'. the advance is to developed
vision, which, by exactly-appreciated
combinations of forms, colors, and mo-
tons, identifies objects 1T great dis
tances as prey or enemies of this or
that kind, and so makes possible adj
justments of conduct for securing food
or evading death. That progressing
perception of differences and conse-
quent greater correctness of chasing
constitutes, under one of its chief as
poets the development of mind, is
equally seen when we pass from the
relatively simple physical vision to the
relatively complex intellectual vision
the vision through the agency of which
things previously grouped by certain
external resemblances or by certain eX-
trinsic circumstances come to be more
truly grouped in conformity with their
intrinsic structures or natures. Unde-
deloped intellectual vision is just as in
discriminating and erroneous in its
classings as undeveloped physical WIS.,
ion. Instance the early arrangement
of plants under the heads trees, shrubs,
herbs: size, the most conspicuous trait,
being the ground of distinction, and the
assem- blages formed being such rs
united many plants extremely unlike in
their natures, and separated others that
are near akin. Or still better. take the
popular classification which puts to-
gether under the same general name
fish and shell-fish, and under the sub
name, shell-fish, puts together crusta-
ceans and mollusks; nay, which goes
further. and regards as fish the ceta-
cean mammals. Partly because of the
likeness in their modes of life rs inhab-
iting the water, and partly because of
some general resemblance in their
tastes, creatures that are in their essen
tial natures far more widely separated
than fish is from bird, are grouped
under the same class and under the
same sub-class. Herbert Spencer IN.
