Democratic Doctrine and Democratic
Policy.

VsOys
1t has been fundamental doctrine
of the Democratic party that no more
taxes should be collected from the
people than an economical, honest
support of the Government made
necessary. From first to last the Re
publican party violated this doctrine
because they did not believe in it, nor
did they inculcate it, nor attempt to
carry it out in legislation. The Re-
publican party was largely made up
of Federalists in favor of a centraliz-
ed, strong Government, and armies
extravagantly equipped and lavishly
differed was the result, and this was
followed by hosts Of civil officers,
employees, attaches and followers,
who for twenty years have been eat
ing up the substance of the people.
A full treasury, kept full by legisla-
ton in favor of sectional classes, in
duced a lavish expenditure for hun
dreds of unconstitutional appropria-
tons. Now, reform of the policy
and practices, the collections and ex-
penditures of this Government, is
what the masses have demanded,
and for the second time elected a
President to carry out. Turning
the rascals out" is good, wise and
necessary reform, but at the same time
we must turn off the tide of unnec-
essary taxation that created surplus
to tempt officials to peculation and
rascality. Now, it does seem hardly
right that the Democrats have been
compelled for twenty years to pay
lavishly to Radical officials, and as
soon as Democratic officials are in
stalled that they shall be put on short
grass and economical allowances, but
it is right and due to the people
The horde of 10000 officials must
be reduced. The internal revenue
must give up it's host, and miserable
hamlets along our coasts must cease
to be ports of entry with salaried
custom house officials who rarely see
a sail. A small army must have few
officers, and rotten navy can do
without admirals and supply ships.
There are too many commissions at
high pay for too many moral and
scientific Investigations.
The people want rest from SO
much government: the business in
terests need relaxation from Federal
legislation, and the people will be
better for less paternal and inquisi-
torial government. We want sim
plicity, economy, honesty and fdeli-
ity, that our Offices may again be
places of ''honor, profit and trust.

~ What is needed to make Bos-
sier parish prosper more vigorously
than ever is unity of action in every
laudable ambition or aim. Foolish
iealousies and rivalries should be
buried out of sight. In every good
work for our towns and parish all
should be united. Difference of
opinion as to the best means of &C.
ton should be discussed reasonably
and in the utmost iberality, butwhen
q proper plan has been adopted all
