The Democratic party will continue, with all
the power contided to il, the struggle to reform
these laws, in accordance with the pledges Of
its last platform, Endorsed at the ballot box by
the SURFACES Of the people.
OF all the Industrious. free men of our land,
the immense majority, including every tiller Of
the soil! gain no advantage from excessive tax
laws, but the price Of nearly every thing they
buy is increased by the favoritism Of an unequal
system OF taxation. All unnecessary taxation
is unjust taxation. 1t Is repugnant to the
creed Of Democracy that by such legs-
lation the cost Of the necessaries Of life
should be unjustifabiy increased to all
our people. Judged by Democratic principleA
the interests Of the people are betrayed when.
BY unnecessary taxations. trusts and cOmbina-
tons are permitted to exist which, while I'M
duly enriching the few that combine, rob the
body Of our citizens By deprIving them OF the
benefits OF natural competition.
Every Democratic rule of governmental ac-
ton Is violated when, through unnecessary taxa
ton, vast sum Of money far beyond the needs
Of the economical administration is drawn from
the people and the channels of trade,
and accumulated as demoralizing sur
plus in the National treasury. The
money now lying idle in the Federal treasury,
resulting from superfiuous taxation, amount,
to more than one hundred and twenty-five
millions, and the surplus collected is reaching
the sum Of more than sixty millions annually.
Debauched by this immense temptation, the
remedy Of the Republican party is to meet and
exhaust By extravagant appropriations and ex
penses. whether constitutional or not, the ac-
cumulation Of extravsgant taxation The
Democratic policy is to enforce frugality in
public expense and abolish unnecessary taxa
ton.
Our established domestic industries and en-
terprses should rot and need not be endan-
gered BY the reduction and correction Of the
burdens OF taxation On the contrary a far
and careful revision Of our tax laws, with due
allowance for the difference between the wages
of American and foreign labor. must promote

DR.. Beddoes, an English physician Of
great enthusiasm, had imbibed the
notion that palsy could be cured by
inhaling nitrous oxide gas. lie re-
quested the celebrated Sir Humphrey
Davy to administer the gas to one of
his patients, and sent the man to him
for that purpose. Sir Humphrey put
the bulb of the thermometer under the
tongue of the paralytic, to ascertain the
temperature of the body, so that he
might see whether it would be at all
effected by the inhalation of the gas
The sick man, filed with faith from
the assurances of the ardent DIR. Bed

mometer WAS a remedy, declared at
once that he felt better. Davy, desir.
Gus of seeing how much imagination
would do in such case, then told him
that enough had been done for TINT
time, and directed him to come next
day. The application of the Their
mometer was made from day to day in
the same way, and in fortnight the
man was cured.
