~ The farmers of the country are no
longer deluded by the Cry of "home mar
ket," which has so long been dinned in their
ears by the advocates of the tariff. They
know that if they had to depend upon the
home market large portion of the pro
ducts of their fields would molder in barns
and granaries. While not one-third of the
working population of the country is en-
ployed in the protected industries, so called,
the home market absorbs proportionately
less of the total products of the farm. In
1850 the exports of farm products, after sup
plying the home demand amounted in value
to little over $120,CC0,OOO. In 1887 the
country's exports of agricultural products
had value of nearly $500, 900. While
the American farmers are compelled to sell
this enormous surplus in the open markets of
tho world, in competition with all comers,
the cost of the commodities which they must
buy in exchange is heavily increased in the
tariff rugged market, in which trusts and mo-
nopolies are fast usurping control over the
whole field of supply. Is itstrange that the
farmers of the country, though they toll late
and early to make ends meet, find it so hard
to make headway against this system of op-
preston and robbery?

the delegation from that county to vote as a

and deserved compliment paid Judge Handy,
notwithstanding there will be no opposition

sB-The Poorman bill, to secure fuller
and better return of property for taxation,
passed the Senate last week and is now law.

Auditor, and Treasurer, when they have rea-
son to believe that there has not beep full
return of property within the county for
taxation, shall have power to employ any
person to make inquiry and furnish the
County Auditor the facts as to any omissions
of property for taxation and the evidence
necessary to authorize him to subject to tax
alton any property improperly omitted from
the tax duplicate. The person SO appointed
is to be allowed 20per cent. out of the money
actually paid into the County Treasury on
omitted taxes as compensation. Any assess
or who shall willfully omit to return any
for taxation or any auditor who
shall willfully omit any property liable to
taxation from the duplicate, or any person
to willfully increase the number
or amount of any tax omission shall, when
convicted thereof, pay a fine not exceeding
$500 or imprisonment in the county Jail not
more than sixty days. The person appointed

az The Democratic party. through its
traditions, its platforms and its President, is
committed to the following principles:
First. The Government has no constitu-
tional or moral right to collect revenue in
excess of the needs of Its economical ad-
ministration. Unnecessary taxation is un-
just taxation. Unjust taxation is tyranny,
whether imposed in monarchy or repub-
lie.
Second. A surplus in the Treasury is a
national evil, and may become national
peril. 1t is standing temptation to ex-
travagance. 1t may perpetuate high taxes
for long period by leading to the Inaugural
ton of expenditures that will be continuous.
The way to deal with surplus is to stop its
collection.
Third. The taxes to be first abated are
those which bear heaviest upon the greatest
number of people-namely, taxes upon uni
versal necessities and the essentials of manu-
factures. Hence, the food, the fuel, the
shelter and the clothing of the people and
raw materials of the manufacturers should be
first relieved in any reduction of taxation.
These are Democratic principles. They
should constitute the Democratic policy
Whatever compromise may be required to Sc
cure the best attainable result it is the busi-
ness of craftsmanship to make. Statesman
ship has been defined to be "the science of
the practical" and the practical duty before
Congress is the prevention of the surplus.
But the President is entitled to the thanks
of the country and to the united support of
his party in his courageous stand for sound
principles.

cBThere is a strong suspicion that the

little or nothing buy them in, and thus en-
large the monopoly Of the carrying trade.
