AXioms Of the Democratic platform,
relative to the Republican party and its
administration Of the publc's affairs; "The
Republican party during its legals, its
stolen and Its bought tenures of power, has
steadily decayed in mark, character and
political capacity, It's platform promises
are now list of its past failures. 1t de-
mands the restoration of our navy. 1t has
squandered hundreds of millions to create
a navy that does not exist. 1t calls upon
Congress to remove the burdens under
which American shipping has been de-
pressed. 1t imposed and has continued
these burdens 1t processes the policy of
reser7ing the public lands for small hold
ings by actual settlers. It has given away
the peoples heritage till now a few rail
roads and non residents and individuals and
corporations possess larger area than that
OF oil our farms betweed the seas. 1t profess
ses preference for free institutions. 1t
orangized and tried to egalize control Of
State elections 10y federal troops. 1t pro-
tesses a desire TO elevate labor. 1t has
subjected American workmen to the COM
petition Of convict and imported contract
labor. 1t processes gratitude to al who
were disabled or died in the war, leaving
widows and orphans. 1t left to a Demo-
cratic House of Representatives the first
effort to equazc both bounties and pen
sions. | profers pledge to correct the ir-
Irregularities Of the tariff it created and has
continued them. lis own tariff commits
sion confessed the need of more than 90 per
cent reduction, It's Congress gave reduc-
ton Of less than per cent. 1t processes
the protection of American manufacturers
it has subjected them to an increasing food
of manufactured goods and a hopeless
competition with manufacturing nations
not one Of which taxes raw materials. II
processes to protect all American industries
it has impoverished many to subsidize a
few. 1t processes the protection of Amer.
can labor; it has depleted the returns Of
American agriculture, an industry followed
by half our people. 1t processes the equal
ity of all men before the law; attempting
to fix the status of coloredctizenG. The act
Of its Congress were overset by the decision
of its courts. 1t accepts anew the duty o
leading in the work Of progress and re
form Its corrupt criminals are permitted
to escape through contIived delays or aCtua
conniyance in the prosecution. Honey
conbed with corruption, outbreaking eS
posures no longer shock its moral sense; ii

An old tract says THE jury Of
twelve was adopted because the proph-
cts were twelve, the apostles numbered
twelve, there were twelve Jewish
Judges, twelve pillars of the temple,
twelve patriarchs, twelve tribes of
Israel, twelve stones in Aaron's breast
plate, twelve gates of Jerusalem, twelve
months in the year and twelve signs in
the zodiac. When juries were first
established, the Judge took the jurors
about with him in cart until they
agreed. If they didn't agree, they
were fined and imprisoned"

and it is especially hard on the laborer.
This defect can in our judgment, be
easily remedied, and we suggest here
with the remedy. Let the law be so
amended as to provide that A. may, at
his option, require B. to give a bond for
the faithful performance of his contracts
with G. and D., such bond to be filed in
the clerks Office, and if B. fails to pay
for such materials and labor, after A. has
paid him, the bond to be liable therefor,
and If A. docs not require B. to give
such bond, then let him be liable to c.
and G. for the amount due them by B.
in such contracts. and G. and d. have a
lien upon the buildings for the amount
due them, whether A. has paid B. or not.
With such a law neither c. or D.
would be in any danger of losing the
price of their materials or value of their
labor, except by inexcusable carelessness,
for they could always inspect the bond
beforehand, andif not satisfactory, need
not furnish materials or perform the
labor and, if no such bond is filed, they
will know that they have a lien on the
building. X.

The Mechanics Lien Law.

Editor PALATKA NEWS.
In the present prosperous condition of
our state, the immense number of build
ings being constructed, the mechanics
lien law is one of the most important on
our statute book. The rights Of the
workmen and the material men should
be fully and amply protected by this law.
The law, as it now stands, is fair, just
and equitable, but still leaves a loop hole
whereby the workman may lose his
hard-earned wages, and the material man
the value of the material furnished by
him.
The law provides that mechanics and
all other persons employed by the
owner) performing labor or furnishing
material, for the construction or repair
of any building, etc, may have lien
upon the building, etc, for which they
have furnished materials of any kind, to
the extent of the value of any labor done,
or materials furnished, or both. And,
also, that any contractor, journeyman or
laborer employed (by other person than
the owner) III the construction or repair,
or furnishing materials for any building
ETC., may give proper notice to the own
ers thereof, and that he holds the owner
responsible for the same, and the owner
shall then be liable for such claim to the
extent Ct the amount due from him to
the employer at the time of notice.
To illustrate the practical workings of
this law, A. employees B. to eonsh dct a
building.
B. purchases his materials of G. and
employees D. to do the work necessary.
A., without fraud ON his part, pays B. in
full the amount he has agreed to pay for
constructing the building. B. pockets
the money, or in some way it is lost or
spent. c. and D., who have furnished
the material and performed the labor,
have no remedy, except by suit against
/ B., and this, in most cases, would be
/ throwing away time and money.
1t IS true that if c. and D. would give
a. proper notice Of what is due them
from B., that a. would be responsible to
! the extent of the amount due B. by him,
but it often happens that B. has drawn
/ all due him from i. before such notice is
given, and frequently for the ostensible
purpose of paying for labor and material.
and used the money in other ways.
/ Now, it is manifestlv unjust that A.
should be compelled to pay more for his
building than the contract price, and If
is wrong and unjust that B.. the con
/ tractor, should be left in a condition so
as to deprive G. and D. of the value of
1 tie materials furnished, labor performed,

The New Era" on Statistics.

Editors Tallahassee Floridian.
Some time ago Pope's paper, the New
Era, published a table comparing the ex-
penditures made during the democratic
and republican administrations in this
state, which is worthy of notice, as show
ing the INSCRIPTIONS methods they are
willing to resort to for the purpose of aid
ing the republican cause, to which they
are now allied That table gives only
the expenditures for salaries and the ex-
p9nses of the legislature, the salaries are
the same in both cases of course, because
they are fixed by the present radical con-
stitution. But he places the expenses of
the Legislature at 81, $50 less under the
radicals than under the democrats, and
this is done by putting the pay of mem
bers in both instances at So per day. Had
he desired to make an honest exhibit of
the workings of both parties and to state
the facts as they exist, he would have
shown that the last republican legislature
1878 cost the state OF Florida SIC, 475 81.
and the first democratic legislature d870,
with the same number of members, cost
$53, 224.44, making a saving by the demo-
Gratis of ST, 151. 13, and that the demo-
cratic legislature of 1872 with an in
crease of 80 members, cost sos, 914.S0, a
saving of S6,460.62 as against their last
legislature with 80 members less. If his
purpose had been to enhghten instead of
to deceive the public he would have gone
further still and shown that the last four
republican legislatures from 1870 to 1870
cost the state $276, O40.O1, while the -four
democratic legislatures, beginning with
1877 and ending with 1888 cost -240, 10S.-
II, making saving by the democrats OF
$50, 931.S4, notwithstanding the increase
in the number of members.
Thus it appears that the democrats run
the legislative department eight years
with $50, 931. 81 less than the radicals spent
in six years, and yet the Era wants the
republicans returned to power.
What wonderful faculty that paper
has developed for suppressing truth and
perverting facts. He made no comparison
of expenses in other departments of the
government, but we propose to do it for
him in another communication.
