The unknown quantity in the APP
preaching Presidential campaign is
the tariff issue. The readjustment Of
the present schedule, formulated at
first for war purposes, will be the bat
tlefield on which the country will be
arrayed, force against force. lt is
living as we'll as comparatively new
issue. Our Republican friends hope to
see the Democracy split on this ground,
and they claim their party is well
agreed in favor Of the high pro
tective system in spite of the fact that
it is producing more revenue than the
Government fairly can spend, in spite
OF the fact that the relations Of many
Industries have changed in radical
degree since the present schedule was
fixed, and in spite of the fact that in a
very general way the Western COM
munities are taxed for the benefit
OF eastern manufacturers, who in a
multitude OF cases enjoy an exclusive
monopoly built up under the revenue
sys tenn in question. The assertion is
boldly made by Republican papers
and politicians that any strength to
be derived by the Democracy from the
Presidents message and the Mills
Tariff bill will be first in Southern
States where our party is
strong enough already, and
secondly in Northern States
where it will not change enough
votes to destroy the overwhelming
Republican majorities now existing
there. Then it is further asserted
that the effect of these proposed
changes in the revenue system will
be fatal to the Democratic party in
the pivotal States--New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana,
which are nearly all Indispensable to
our success in the pending political
contest. Let us see ii those
claims and assertions will stand
close investigation. Connecticut
Is one OF the States involved in this
issue. The State Convention of the
Nutmeg Democrats met in Hartford
last Wednesday. The administra-
ton of MIR. Cleveland and the Tariff
issue were under review before this
body. Did they condemn or approve
of the President and his message ?
They NEST emphatically approved OF
both. A demand is made for the re-
affirmation Of the platform of 1884,
and for a readjustment OF the tariff
laws. The tobacco tax is the sole
point in dispute, and that will not
lose the State to our party. We car
ried the State four years ago and will
carry it again. We have not changed
our attitude on any material point of
policy. As to New York, the
Empire State has been carried time
and again in the current decade by
our party on the very issue now be-
fore the people, and there is not a
lot of evidence that the people there
or elsewhere have changed their
views as to the necessity OF tariff re-
form.
New Jersey falls gracefully into line
by reaiiirming it's allegiance to the
Democratic position on the tariff as
expressed in the platform in 1854.
That is all the Presidents message is;
that is all the Mills bill attempts to
effec:-to carry out the pledges made
to the people in the Chicago conven-
ton four years ago.

various heirs to valuable estate in

OUR NATIONAL FLOWERS.
Beautiful Emblems of Endurance, vigor,
Light and Freedom.

Beautiful Emblems of Endurance, Vigor,
Light and Freedom.
After q midsummer, in this country,
our rural landscape is everywhere
frightened by the golden rod and
asters; they form a distinct and beauti-
full feature Of the scenery. The eyes
of our countrymen are everywhere
gladdened by their smiles; north and
south, east and west, on the hills and
mountain sides, in the valleys and on
the broad prairies, by the road-5ides
and the streams, and in the fields and
copses they stand as tokens of the
genial heat that brings from the soil the
golden grains and the beautiful, lus-
cious fruits. No other country in the
world is thus characterized; these
plants belong to America, and as such
should be our pride and delight. 1G.s4f
While on this continent there are
from sixty to seventy species, and per-
haps more, Of the sOlidagos, or golden
rods, and nearly all of them of vigorous
habit, growing from foot to eight feet
in height, all the world besides affords
less than dozen, and these, for the
most part of small size, and confined
to few localities of limited area, and
always in such small numbers as to
make them rare plants.
The species of asters, in this country,
are still more numerous than those of
the golden rod. Both are the children
of the sun, basking in his favors and
rejecting his smiles. Although many
indigenous species of flowers are pecu-
liar to this country, yet none so abound
and apparently claim possession as
these. And grouped together they
might appropriately be taken as our
national flowers, emblems of endur-
ance, vigor, light and freedom TICKS

natural recovery.

A Cure for Deafness.


DR.. Marshall gives many illustra-
tions of morbid fancies or Fictitious
ailments, and some of them are so
curious as to read more like the revela-
tons of Miss Braddon or Mr.. Wilkie
Collins than the quasi-official statement
of a sober military surgeon of the old
school: ga recruit of those days
alleged that he had almost totally lost
the sense of hearing (and it may be
here incidentally observed that a simu-
lator of deafness is rarely discovered),
and the testimony of his comrades
served to support his statements. The
surgeon Of the depot admitted him to
the hospital and fed him on spoon diet.
He purposely passed his bed during his
daily visits for nine days without MOTTO
ing him. On the tenth day he felt his
pulse and made signs to him to put out
his tongue; he then asked the hospital
sergeant what diet he gave him. Spoon
diet, replied the sergeant. The doctor
affected to be displeased, and in low
tone said: Are you not ashamed of
yourselfP The poor fellow is almost
starved to death. Let him instantly
have beef-steak and pint of porter
The recruit could contain himself no
longer. With a countenance express
sive of gladness and gratitude, he said:
God Almighty bless your honor; you
are the best gentlemen have seen for
many day. "-LOnd0n Hospital.
