THE Democratic party always was a
free-trade party. We doubt whether any
platform passed by Democratic National
or State Convention can be produced In
which the party did not take strong and
decided ground in favor of free trade. That
was one of tho cardinal principles of tho
party in those days. Free Trade and
Sailors Rights was cmblagoned on every
banner of theirs. Those who were in favor
of protection were denounced as monopo-
lists, as robbers of tho people to build up
monopolies in New England, as taking
money from large majority Of tho people
tho farmers-to put it into the Golfers of a
few Yankees up in New England. This
doctrine was preached from every Demo.
cratic platform and proclaimed by every
Democratic newspaper. The campaigns of
1874 and 4s were fought on this issue di-
rectly, save that in 1914 the Texas question
inado some show.
There was no mistaking the platforms
on which James X. Polk and Lewis Cass
stood on, so far as the tariff question was
concerned. There was no uncertain sound
Vano HOm lhohe plablOTmS. lno issues
were squarely stated and the responsible
ties squarely met Southern men were in
control of the party in those days, and they
were free traders to n man, and were not
afraid to say so. Cotton was King not only
materially, but politically, also, and the
King declared that free trade should be the
Democratic ib5oleth-North, South, East
ard West, and the King was obeyed i'm
plicitly.
Now, look at the Democratic platform of
! 1881. Can anybody tell what it means or
what it don't mean? Can anybody de-
clare what the people may expect from it If
Clevelend should be elected on it? Chelt-
cry, jugglery, deception, double.dealing -
these are the weapons the Democrats Of
1854 arc using in order to elect their
candidate. win they succeed Can they
hoodwink the people, and so blind them
that they can lead them wherever they
please, to do whatever they may please {?
We don't believe it. They have played
their game of dishonesty and disception
and they have lost. Aud it is the last
game they will ever play as Democratic
party. Their party will have ID give place
to one that has honesty enough to plainly
state its principles and manliness enough to
s1uarely stand by them

first performed in the hollow of the ell
bow of each arm. Ifthe puncture draws

very grave. But before abandoning the
sufferer punctme of the abdomen is

ture, and recovery is regarded as almost
certain; but if no pain is felt and no
blood flows the case is declared hope
less and the sufferer is left TO die.
The case is then quoted of young
Chinese educated abroad, who was at
tackled with CHOLERA; his extremities be.
came cold, and cramp set in a some-
what alarming manner. The barbe :
surgeon who was called in commenced
by running a needle into the pit If the
patients stomach, jet of very dark
blood following; he then punctured the
calf, the two breasts, and the forehead
of the sufferer, freeing certain quanti-
ty of blood each prick. The ieliefis said
to be instantaneous, and in two days re-
covery was complete. The Chinese ex-
planation of this treatment is that, when
the blood is in the poisoned condition
which induces the choleraic symptoms,
it becomes thick and accumulates in GER
