The Democratic Doctrine.

AS the probabilities of the passage OF
a tariff revision bill by the present
House of Representatives increase, 1t
becomes more important that the public
should be made to understand the Dem
ocratic position as to that question.
That they are increasingis perhaps best
attested by Mr.. Randall's recent asser-
ton that bill on the subject is very
certain to be reported upon which the
entire Democratic contingent can agree.
There are a few Democrats and few
Republicans also, who would, If they
could, reduce the tariff at once and
completely to a free trade basis. There
are a few more Of each kind who, with
out going quite the length of actual
free trade, would be glad to effec,
! wholesale reductions all round. The
great body of the Democratic party
however. ties itself to tariff doctrine
that NAV be summed in the following
propositions:
First-A total repeal of duties on the
necessaries of life and the raw mate
rails of indrstry in all cases where II
can be shown that the revenue is moi
needed for an economical administra-
ton of the Government.
Second-A reduction of other duties
to the figure that will balance the diff
ference between the labor cost of the
domestic and that Of the foreign pro-
ductiOn.
1t is. Of course, the Sheerest folly to
assign to the advocates Of such doc
trine as thisSany desire to injure Amer
lean labor or sacrifice honest American
interests of any kind or in any degree
The first of the two propositions aims
to increase the purchasing power OF the
poor man S wages and add to his EN-
ployer's ability to employ and properly
compensate him. The second looks to
the. prevention of monopoly. If the
American employer insists upon a price
for his wares higher than the price OF
the foreign goods with the additional
labor cost to which he is subjected
added, then the law should be such as
to allow the foreign article to come in.
In such case it is healthy competition
that ought to be encouraged. Without
it there is no possible means of pre-
venting corners and fOrestallingS Of the
market and monopoly and all the curses
that these entail.

The growth of Kansas has had no
parallel. The great states Of New
York and Pennsylvania were nearly a
hundred and fifty years in attaining a
population Kansas reached in thirty
years. Kentucky was eighty; Tennes-
see, seventy-fve; Alabama, ninety;
Ohio, forty-fve; and Massachusetts
New Jersey, Georgia, and North and
South Carolina each over hundred
years in reaching the present popula-
ton of Kansas. Even the marvellous
growth of the great States of the West
has been surpassed by that of Kansas.

Neal Dow, sometimes called "Gener-

''because it is everywhere committed
to the support of saloons" This IS a
somewhat sweeping assertion, but 1t

proprietors derive their prOft-down III

of Dow's withdrawal from the RepuD-
lican party is much mitigated by the

we are glad to know that Mr.. DOW
never again expects to vote the Repub-
lican ticket, as he is now over eighty
years old. 1t is about time he was

HoratiO Seymour.

Like a shock of corn, full ripe, HOra-
ito Seymour has been gathered to his
fathers, full of years and hOnors.
Horatio Seymour was democratic
statesman of the old school. He drew
his inspiration from Jefferson and.Mad-
ison and Jackson, the fathers Of democ,
racy. Never once faltering in his be-
lief in the correctness and sOundness OF
the principles upon which his party
was founded, he was yet honest, sincere
and road-gauged in his treatment OF
public questions. HiSviews were never
narrowed and bounded bipartisan bias
A stranger to the arts and eXpedients
Of the politician as we know him to
day, he looked at and judged of every
thing In its bearings on the people. He
vas a statesman in the broadcast sense
of the word, and his safe conservatism
his honesty, his integrity, his modesty
and his ability endeared him not only to
his party but to the people of the entire
country.
Called upon to carry his party's ban
ner at times when success was most
hopeless, he never shirked the duty. In
his grasp it was always fair and untarn-
ished to the sight. Twice he was
elected Governor of New York, and in
1868, as candidate for president against
Grant, he carried the state third time.
In later years, crowned with wisdom
and experience, he was admired and re-
spected of all men, and to his party he
was NestOr to whom every member
of it turned with admiration, respect
and confidence. His going has sadly
and almost irTeparably afflicted the
democratic party, which can i'll afford
to lose such a man. His exalted kind
are not numerous anywhere.
The recent deaths of Mcclellan, Hen
bricks and Hancock, followed so closely
by. that of Seymour, have shown to the
world what kind of leaders the demo-
cratic party had and has, and have
taught the party itself to better under
stand and revere the grand and eternal
principles which it represents and
which are made immortal by the servi-
ces and devotion of such men who have
just quilted their fields of earthly labor.

Death Of C. S. Merrill.
GARFIELD TWP, Feb. 10

mourn his sudden death which was
caused by venouS obstruction i'll the

and extended to the body with the
above sad results. The neighbOrhOod
loses a faithful friend and help-mate IN
every enterprise, the wife a noble and
attentive husband, the sisters kind
brother, the old father and mother a
dutiful son, and as the writer heard the
mother say, "all these years that we
have lived together he never gave me
al unkind nor s&ucy word" How
many mothers can say that? The
whole neighborhood viii miss him, the
church will feel his loss; the last and
saddest of all is his wife and two little
boys, how they will miss him. He was
ever ready to attend to their every want;
kind loving and good to them. The
Rev. Halbert conducted the funeral
services at Mt. Pleasant church and his
remains were inferred in the cemetery
near by. The large attendance at the
solemn rites proved his sterling worth
and manly virtues were recognized by
the community in which he resided.
Messrs. Strahan, Knapp, Stein, KOe-
mig, McBoyIe and Kindness acted az
pall-bearerS. Mr., II. BfaiTe conducted
the singing and one piece they sang
caused many eyes to weep.
