FIRST IN THE FIELD.

The Democrats, for the first time IN
many years, have done what In politics
ia as wise as 1t Is in war, and that is they
have taken the field first and done IL
with an aggressive policy.
The flag of true Democracy, equa'
rights without favors to classes, Is never
safer and surer of victory than when
some brave hand like Cleveland's puts it
in advance, and inspires the masses win
that magnetic courage that comes from
true convictions We quote in another
column an article from the New iork
Times. which analyses the elements OF
the campaign on the Democratic side.
1t is the opportunity now for great
canvass that will educate the people to
those fundamental ideas of free govern
ment that hold all the power OF progress
and development. In monarchIcal
countries there is personal sovereignty
but in Republics government Is The
agency and representative power OF the
people and must be administered on
principles that recognize the sovereignty
of the people, and therefore the justice OF
relations In business affairs OF men must
be preserved In apopular form of govern
ment.
The Government is TO be maintained
az an sgency ard trustee, and when II
taxes the people beyond the amount ne
cessary for its support it violates Its
charter Happily we can get back TO the
right idea by the means of the balloi-box
as soon az the people clearly see that
they are being made to pay tribute 10
give bounty TO monOpolists.

$43l ,0lG.413, while gold and silver to-
cether for the same period amounted TO
$4O4 sol 900 or $244 400 900 in silver, and

the iron product is from $l06,336,4 9l in
1882 to $G4, 712, 400 in 1885. The product
of silver, and especially gold, keeps in
unvarying tenor from year to

when there was marked advance on
the average yield. The minor metals

average like gold and silver, without the
fluctuations in iron. The other metals
aggregate $24, 2Oj,Gls in all; zinc the
largest, and platinum nominal product
of few thousand dollars. Aluminium,
which makes no return in 1892, and only
81 900 in 1883, steadily increases until in
1886 the result is S27 900.
