rRuE DEMOCRACY.


The Virginia Republicans are quarrel
ling, but there is nothing in the local
Quarrel that will prevent full poll OF
the party vote for the nominee oil the
National Convention and thereby the
Democrats should be shrewd enough not
TO give themselves away with over-con-
fidence.
The Republicans are playing Tor the
electoral vote of the State, and they Will
have the help of their brethren all over
the United States with the doodle that
is used by tina, party to make up the lack
of principle.
The Radical party is essentially gen.
erous and liberal one in spending the ILL
gotten money in elections, and this VIII
he an occasion TO Gull out the best
efforts of the leaders whose candidate
wins the prize of the presidential nomIn-
alton. Either sherman or Blaine Will
have barrel" accumulated from long
political piracy, and the money will How.
We look to see as solid Republican vote
in Virginia as has ever been cast, and
the Democrats should be az hard work
ing in the canvass as they have been wise
in the convention. We do not want to
hear Of anything in popular discussion
except on line of the declaration Of the
the Norfolk Convention.
Whether Congress does anything on
the tariff or not, the purpose of the party
has been understood for ten years, and
that is to reduce the war taxes in time OF
peace and relieve the citizens of unneces-
sary taxes laid on to support small
minority OF mOnOpol.sts.
Virginia is a Democratic State by 49,
900 but for the weakness Of the Demo-
cratic policy There is more false party
doctrine in Virginia than in the whole
rest of the country, and it is perpetrated
and exploited by people who claim to be
true Democrats
Democracy means government by the
people on representative principles that
the aggregate Intelligence demands. 1t
means liberty and perfect freedom to
exercise the arts OF peace to the fullest
c.pacity of the genius Of the American
people and not that all the arts and all
the people shall be eoslayed to monopoly
and male to pay twice As much for the
necessary articles Of life rs people in
other countries do.
The genius OF American labor and en-
terprise wants all the raw material from
all the world a, the price that other ma
tons pay. and then we can compete with
anybody before the whole world instead OF
on the protected home market manipllat-
ed 10 give monopolists an artificial price
for their goods How often mast We re-
peat the simple formula:
If you are forced to buy on market
where there is no competition, Of course
you must pay more than is right. And il
you can only sell on the protected home
market, OF course you cannot do all the
work that you could do if the market of
world was open to you.

WISDOM rs POLITICs-Wisc are the
Democrats in what they have done con
corning the Presidency. Following the
sure and trained instinct of statesmen
Ike Samuel J. 1'ilden and Daniel Man
ming they nominated and elected Grover
Cleveland. He has served his party and
the nation in bringing the national
American sentiment into accord in every
section of the Union, becoming the Presi-
dent of the interests, respects and alice
tionsof the people, and in no sense OF
their hatreds. In demonstrating that a
triumphant governing Democracy is as
sure guard of national honor as the Re
publicans, MI. Cleveland has rendered
the cause of government by free institu-
lions a service as grateful as was ever
given by Jefferson and Jackson.-N ]

MARKET FOR LABoR.-A protective

nature of the case cannot, fix the wage
Of labor. Labor. like all commodities,
will. under the operation OF the law OF
supply and demand, command lis worth

tha, legislation can possibly accomplish

of this law. and so far as ii does this only
harm can ensue.
II there is demand for labor equal to
or greater than the supply, then labor Is
probably paid and i combinations on
capta 10 force labor to sell itself at
prices fixed by the combination cannot
be successfully formed, then labor will he
free to make its own bargains. But ii
the market be 50 restricted that the sup
ply OF labor exceeds the demand, or II
capital is enabled to combine to prevent
competition, then labor must b. sold at
the price fixed by the employer.
Now, our present system does both-lt
restricts the market To BIZ supplied by or
labor and it enables the manufacturers to
fix the price they will pay to labor.

Mr.. RANDALL DECLARES HIMsELF.-
The te.earaphc summary Of the tariff
speech made Dy Mr Randall hardly al.
fords the basis for proper criticism.
While it is interesting insofar a. it is a
criticism of the Mills bill, it is evident
that this branch OF the subject has re-
ceiyed but little attention. The allcga-
ton that the effect Of the proposed meas
ure. instead of reducing revenue, would
be to largely increase il, could only have
been made at random. Insofar AS add
lions are to be made to the free list, the
reductions of duty are to be absolute,
and the same is true Of the proposed re
duction Of the tobacco tax. The Idea
that increased imporiations Sould 50 en-
large the revenue as not only TO offset
certain reduction, but to add To the gross
receipts of the Treasury, i simply pre-

A Composition That is Said to Last for
Many Years.
A whitewash that will last for many
years is said to be made as follows:
Take one-half bushel of unslacked lime,
Stake it with boiling water; cover it
during the process TO keep in the steam.
Strain the liquid through fine sieve or
strainer, and add to it a peck of salt,
previously dissolved in warm water,
three pounds of ground rice, boiled to
thin paste, one-half pound powdered
Spanish whiting. and one pound of
clean glue which has been previously
dissolved by soaking it well, and then
hang it over slow fire in small ket-
tie within larger one filled with water.
Add five gallons of hot water to the
mixture, stir it we'll, and let it stand for
a few days covered from dust 1t
should be put on hot, and for this pur-
pose it can be kept iii kettle on por-
table furnace Colors may be mixed
with the liquid, except that green should
never be used, because it makes the
whitewash crack and peel, and lime
also destroys the color. This whitewash
retains its brilliancy for many years,
and it will do for inside or outside walls.
A square yard of the outside of house
will be covered by pint of the mixture.

Provisioning Air Ship for a Seventy
two Hour Voyage.
Expecting long trip, we had taken
food and water for three days. We had
chicken, corned beef, beans, bread,
crackers. bareback, salmon, Holsters,
pickles, salt, vinegar, mixed nuts,
oranges and bananas. So you see that
we were not likely to Starve, had we
gone, as we thought we might, into the
deep wilds of Michigan or Canada.
We also had hooks and lines for fish,
and keen axe, to aid us in the woods,
or wherewith to chop our way out of
the wreck had we been cast away on
one of the great lakes. And we had
an electric light for use at night. Our
plans had been well laid; and had not
Moore been hurt, or had not the balloon
been torn at the start, our voyage
would perhaps have been more to our
liking.

400; Switzerland, 100; Italy, 20; Sweden,

The wheat-growing interests of the
Northwest, the mining interests of the
far West, and the cotton-growing in
terests of the South are counting on
great increase in demand from home
sources on account of the spread of
population in those regions. The low
price of wheat for years past has kept
the farming interests close to the wall,
but with the spread of industrial ca
pacity toward the Rocky mountains
brighter prospects are looming up and
better prices are in sight. The same

preserved and they show no trace of

sist chiefly of the remains of rhinoceros,
