MR. TILDEN'S PLATFORM.
From the n. Y. World

lrTuHl 'ne n. 1. world
The Atlanta Constitution makes this
surprising statement:
Mr.. Tildeu dictated every word OF
the platform Of 1876. The committee
did not change single line, and they
We're sensible Tor not doing so. There
was no such fOOlishness as free trade
in it. Normo such fooiishness as "iarifi
for revenue only" His platform was
successful and he was elected.
We have recently republished the
tariff-reiorm plank of the democratic
platform of 1876, upon hich Mr.. Til
den carried New York and the coun-
try, but aS our southern contemporary
seems ignorant of il aud it il good
doctrine at this time we give it again
We denounce the present tariff, lev
led upon nearly 4,OOO articles, rs IA
masterpiece of injustice. inequality and
false pretensc. II Yields dwindling,
not yearly rising revenue. IL has
impoverished many Industries to subsi-
diZe few. It prohibits imports that
might purchase the products of Ameri-
can labor. 1t has degraded American
commerce from the frat To am inferior
rank on the high seas ii has cut down
the sales of American manufacturers at
home and abroad, and depicted
the returns oi \ mcricau agriculture
an industry toliowed :iy half our peo-
pie. IL costs the people five times
more Than il produces to the treasury,
obstru.fs the processes Of production
and wastes the fruits OF labor. |: pyo-

This tcrSo and forcihe dGnunciation
ot the war tariff makes President
Cleye!and's message seem moderate
and almost tame in comparison. The
sort of "tnnlishueSs' that Mr. Tilden's
platform dbl rot contain was the de
mand which the Constitution and 4
few other democratic Journals now
make--ihat the internal taxes on whis-
KEY and beer he abolished In order
TO render impracticabie any reduction
in the tarilt tHXr- an the necessities OF
the people. MIR. Tiiden was too sound
all economist and 100 good Il democrat
to favor such policy as this.

A NEW HEGIRA.
From the \. Y. Star. (

r rom lne n. I. Stnr.
Some idea Of the thrush OF immi-
grants to this country may be gathered
from the significant announcements in
recent cahlcgrams that even the pro-
digious facilities of the Liverpool lines
have been found unequal to !hc uppi-
cations for passage Ia the month of
March %, 800 home seekers were re.
Caived at Castle Garden. If the steam.
ships were equal to that number in
that month, what must the sum total
be in April, when, before the first week
OF the month, accommodations have
given Oulf
Perhaps the most extraordinary fact
In this influx is that Great Britain atill
continues to send us the larger number
OF our new citizens. Of these the Irish
are a majority. How the island main
tians population, after all these years
OF outflow. is one of the marvels OF tins
amazing race. But the differentiation
of the newcomers is quite as interest
ing. The Castle Garden authorities
have compiled the statistics tor the ycsr
1887, and they show the nationaliies in
the following proportions

A Rhyme For Rainy Day.

| julia NJ. Cotton in st. Nicholas for April.
With pltter- -patter, pItter-pattcr,
On nv window pane,
Tapped clipper little visitors.
The tiny drops of rain;
They did not AJAX TO enter
But In liquid tones heard
This story, which, ~ told to me,
tell you word for word:
within II cool. deep well we lived
Quite happy. sldc nv side,
Until nn empty bucket came,
And asked us out 10 ride;
Then springing In, away We went
Drawn up into he air.
And pretty china pitcher
Stood waiting for us there
Beneath that pitchers brim we thought
Much happiness to see:
hui soon "A lump of Ice pOpOed Iu
With whom we cant agree,
For though Ice claimed relationships
Before 1t married Frost
With such hard, cold hearted thing
All sympathy is lost
lee tried to steal our heat away,
But Air was on our side,
And when IL felt how cold we were
II just sat down and cried;
You might have seen the tears upou
The pitcher where they pressed,
TIL Ice itself was forced To melt
And mn2le with the rest.
But next | lave TO tell YOU
OF u most amazing thing
Above blazing lire
We were made to ~ and sing
Till Bubbles brought the IA" .,A.e up.
