This condensed tariff history as related
to the democratic party and its national
conventions, was given in Hon. Henry
Watterson's Louisville Courier-Jour1ldl
previous to the holding of the St. Louis
convention:
In 1864 the democrats nominated Union
soldier on platform declaring the war a
failure.
In 1SgS 1t nominated hard money DEM
ocrat on soft money platform.
In 1872 it nominated lifelong protec-
tionist on non-committal platform.
In 1880 it nominated Union general on
platform declaring for "a tariff for rev.
enue only" This platform the nominee
repudiated under the direction of Mr.. Bar
nun, and in every instance we were inglOr-
iously and deservedly beaten.
In 1884 we nominated Mr.. Cleveland on
a compromise platform, and he was elected
by scratch because he in New Jersey and
Mr.. Hendricks in Indiana spoke openly for
tariff reform.
Mr.. Watterson should now continue the
history In something like the following:
''ln 1883 we nominated the free trader,
Cleveland, on platform that is claimed by
a portion of the democratic newspapers as
for free trade, and by the remainder as for
protection. and which is as fine and broad
a specimen of straddle as was ever
known. Still, the same convention ''en-
dorsed" the free trade Mills bill.

The following is from a sprinrfield letter

The following is from Springfield letter
to the New York World. written by staff
correspondent, Mr.. Crawford, q brother Of
the Crawford, of the World, who is now
with the Blaine party, in Europe:
"Ex-Speaker j. Warren Keifer. who is a
strong adherent of Sherman and was
beaten for delegate to Chicago from this
district by John Foos, wealthy merchant
here, was seen today. General Keifer was
quite indignant at what he styled the
treachery of some of Sherman's alleged
friends.
"'Governor Foraker has a great deal to
do with this Blaine business he said. /
like the governor personally, but l do not
believe he is acting fairly in this matter.
The meeting here last week was q hollow
fraud. A few men got 1t up to console
themselves for the loss Of Blaine. There
were some Sherman men present. but they
remained silent, not realizing the signifi
cance that would be attached to the meet
ing. No delegate was elected from
this state with the expectation that he
would be disloyal to Sherman. do not
believe that one could have been elected.
l wish they had made this talk that we
hear now at the time of the district con-
ventions. Judge Vests speech may do
Sherman some injury down east. The
trouble is Blaine's Florence letter was not
written in a sincere vein, but SO many peo-
pie took him at his word he saw that he
would have to make fight to get the NOM
ination and so wrote his second letter.
"The Depew talk is strangely connected
with this Blaine business. / was out In
Kansas at the time of their state conven-
ton. An effort was made to take up De-
pew there, but the railroad prejudice was
too strong, and Ingalls, was selected as
cloak. / believe Sherman will enter the
convention with good lead, but have
not been in communication with the leaders
and am unable to foreshadow what will be
the result"
We feel sure that our esteemed and dis
tinguished townsman has been misin-
formed. We are well satisfied that Cover
nor Foraker has Lad nothing, whatever, to
do with this Blaine business. and that he Is
in no sense responsible for it.t

The New York Mail aud Express has q
good deal to say say about Mr.. Depew. and
it quotes freely the utterances of other
papers concerning him. From the Com
mercidl Advertiser, of Buffalo, it quotes
the assertion that: 1.-The presidential can
didate who carries New York state in No
vember is all but certain of becoming the
next president. 1t is generally conceded
that Chsuncey NJ. Depew is the one repub-
lican that can carry New York against
Cleveland, beyond all doubt" From a
New York World interview with Mr..
Depew it lakes the following question and
answer:
Is 1t true you have been assured of the
solid support of the New York delegation ?
1t is. have been promised the vote of
the entire seventy-two should l be can
didate. New York is all right. The ma
tion at large is what we must look after.
This, the Mail and Express says, is
official. In connection with this the Den
yer Nelrs says of recent utterance by
Judge West:
William Ii. West, ''the blind orator of
Ohio" says that Depew could poll SO. 900
more votes in New York than any other
candidate. This is the popular belief, and
inasmuch as Mr.. Depew has the strength,
there is no reason why he should not be
the choice Of the New York delegation for
president. With New York solid for him,
the convention st Chicago must
necessarily give his claims due weight,
and If he receives the consideration which
his position demands we have no doubt
that he would receive the nomination.

Economy Due to Employers.

"Waste not, want not" is good old
proverb. "He that is faithful in little
is faithful also in much" A person
who takes no care of the materials
committed to his hands by his employ
er will never duly husband his own
property. Economy and wastefulness
are habits that will influence US in all
things, both when we are engaged
about our own substance or that of an
other. To waste another's goods Is the
same as to rob him. The loss in both
cases is equal, and the principles
whence they spring very much alike.
The man who takes care of his en-
ployer's goods is sure to look after his
own, and thus is on the road to pros
perity.

Shorthand Talking.

A writer in Chambers Journal says
that the expressions used by some boys

would sound like a foreign language.
Specimens are given of what is called

"Jerfind the ice hard n good ?"
eyes, hard 'nough."
"Jer goerlone?"
"No; Bill N Joe wenterlong."
"How late jer stay?"
"Pastate."
Such specimens might be multiplied
indefinitely. 1t is enough to make the
dear grandmothers and aunts sigh for
the days when they were young. It is
too often the case these days that a
civil question will bring from a child
"Yep" or NAV" as a reply, for these
seem to be the nineteenth century sub,
stitutes for the quaint eyes, ma'am'
or mo, ma'am" of our forefathers.
Take time, children, to speak polite
ly, and so that even the old folks who
don't understand shorthand talking
can understand you. 1t is better to be
able to speak one language correctly
than it is to have smattering of sew.
eral. 1t may not be possible for you to
speak even your own language correct,
ly, but you can at least talk distinctly.

DR.. Lyman Abbott says that early
in his ministry he resolved-and still
holds to the resolution-that he
"would not profess religion for a man
after death who had never professedi it
for himself when living" No man
ever made a more rational resolve.
The orthodox preachers who are ready
to find title for every great, rich, or
popular man to mansion in the skies,
even though he never gave any scrip

take back in the particular what they
preach in the general, excite contempt
among unbelievers, encourage neglect
of religion, and strengthen the hands
ofloose thinkers in and out of the
Church.
