The n.publ,cnu rin,f .r,n.

The platform adopted by the Republican
National Convention meets every want, ie
intelligent in It's expressions, does not deal
in Ambiguous giving out" but is so plain
in language that child may read and un-
derstand it. It excels all former platforms.
and It's strength lies in its clear enuncia-
lion Of Republican doctrines. It has been
intimated by some Democratic journals
VIII juggle the truth that the Republican
party is not the friend Of thelaboring man.
Well, here is the tariff plank 10 offset that
unjust charge.
"We therefore demand tina. the imposi-
ton OF duties on ioreign imports shall be
made, not for revenue only, but that in
raising the requisite revenues Tor the Gov
eminent. such duty shall be SO levied as to
afford security to our diversified industries
and protection to the rights and wages Of
thelsborer, to the end that active and in
telligent labor, as well rs capital, may have
its just reward, and the laboring man his
full share in the National prosperity"
Would the horizontal tariff nightmare OF
Democracy "protect the rights and wages
OF the laborei?" Would not that twin
relic, free trade, put out the fires in the
mills, and the comfortable homes Of the
mechanics become poor house annexes,
and the modest cottage Of the laborer BIZ
turned into hut Of discomfort? Verify
such things would come to pass.
There are some inequalities in the tariff
law. These will be corrected. This is
promised in another part OF the same
plank.
1.-THE Democratic party has failed COM
pletely to relieve tho people Of the burden
OF unnecessary taxation by wis. reduc-
tion Of the surplus. The Republican party
pledges itself to correct the Irregularities
OF the tariff and 10 reduce the surplus, not
by the vicious and indiscriminating pro-
cess OF horizontal reduction, but by such
methods as will relieve tho taxpayer with.
out injuring the laborer or the great pro.
ductive interests Of the country"
There is the farmer. He is we'll cared
for, as be should be. The wool interest is
one Of the most important in this country.
This platform commits the party to read.
justment Of the duties on foreign wool in
order that the industry shall have full and
adequate protection. s
Again the lsborer is remembered when
the party, through its platform, says it
favora the enforcement, Of the ejght.hour
law, and when it slaps the pauper labor Of
foreign countries in the iacs and plants it.
self in strong opposition to the importation
ofcontract labor, and pledges that its best
efforts will bs directed to sustain the pres.
ent Law restricting Chinese immigration.
These are only few points culled from
the platform to show that the Republican
party is the friend Of the poor man and the
faithful guardian Of the interests OF the
labcrer.

Honey and Digestion

"All foods" says an exchange, "lf
not already soluble (meltable) in
water, have to be so altered within US
that they become dissolved, and we
call this solution digestion. Starch,
for example, which forms fve-sixths
of our daily bread, is utterly inc fec
tual to use while it remains as starch,
because of its Instability; bat in the
act of chewing, the saIiva which we
add to our bread begins to convert
the starch into a sugar very much
like the sugar Of honey, and so rem
ders it soluble In order that it may in
due course be carried into our blood,
and there do the work of giving us
power or heat. Cane sugar in like
manner, although soluble, requires
alteration, and this alteration is also
brought about by contact with the
saliva, and the result is a sugar, as in
a previous case, nearly identical with
the sugar OF honey. Honey, on the
contrary, or the sugar that we find in
grapes, is already in the condition for
absorption or assimilation, and really
no kind of work has to be performed
upon it before it is actually rendering
us service as a force or heat pro6ucer. :"
Honey, therefor, given to mankind
in the most agreeable form, both for
food and medicine. 1t produces
healthy digestion, and holds defiant
ly that monster of torture, indiges-
ton, at bay. Pure honey should be
used freely ia every family. Honey
eaten upon wheat bread is very bene-
fetal to health.
Children would rather eat bread
and honey than bread and butter;
one pound of honey will reach as far
as two pounds Of butter, and has be-
sides the advantage that it is far more
healthy and pleasant to the taste, and
always remains good, while butter
soon becomes rancid, and often pro
duces cramp in the stomach, eructa-
tons, sourness, vomiting, and diar-
rhma.
Digestion (all-potent in its effects
on the mind as we'll as the body de-
ponds largely on the food. Poor
food received into a poor stomach is
the cause of many unhappy homes.
while good, healthy food, received
into a healthy stomach, becomes an
angel of Peace" to many house

COLORADO papers say a wholesale
system of stealing mine machinery is
pracnced in that state. The owner of
one mine At Leadyille says he has lost
by theft three hosting planks within
the last two years. In almost every
instance where operations on mine
have been temporarily suspended,
when the owners or their agents visit
the property to resume work they find
their machinery dismantled, every
movable piece missing, and they are
fortunate il they find any covering to
their plant. Numerous instances can
be cited where entire shaft houses
have been dismantled, every detach-
able piece removed from the engine,
and the wrecked valuable machinery
left exposed to the elements. 1t is a
