THE POSITION OF THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY ON THE
RI RIFF

TARIFF.
However important it may be, and as it
most certainly is. the subject Of the tariff
is a dry one. 1t ought to be RENTED to
the magazines instead of the newspapers
if the people generally took the magazines.
Recognizing this, We have had little to say
about it. For two reasons; one. our per-
feet confidence in the Democratic party
to adopt no tariff that would hurt Viz
ginia, and the other that having sent
congressman to Washington to settle upon
rate, there was no use deepening the
lines already existing in the party On the
subject. The utterance of the National
Democratic party has now been made, and
we have few words to say about it.
There are three sets of politicians dis
appointed about the tariff declaration of
the st. Louis platform.
The Tariff Reform Democrats are dis
appointed because it didn't go far enough
in their direction.
The High Tariff Democrats are disap-
pointed because it didn't go far enough
for them.
: And the Republicans are the worst dis
appointed of all, because the Democrats
had wisdom enough not to quarrel over
1t.

The most pronou need low tariff Democrats
in the House are sorely put out at the platform
adopted by the St. Louis convention, and are
by no means complimentary in their illusions
to the low tariff men in the convention who
backed down and agreed to reafirm the strad-
die of 1854 The adoption of the resolution
endorsing and recommending the passage of
the Mills bill, they say, amounts to nothing,
and only shows that the convention was
ashamed of its action. The moderate tariff
reformers say that with the declaration that
the reafirmed platform of 1884 is to be inter
preted by the Presidents low tariff message,
the platform is acceptable, and will be so con-
sidered by the great mass of the party

Work That Lasts for Ages.

Die sinking is carried on to large extent
in New York. and the work turned out from
the various establishments is already ac-
knowledged in the market to be of the very
highest order The material from which the
dies are usually made, either brass or steel, is
first turned into the desired shape in a lathe.
Steel has to be submitted to certain process
called anneeling, by which it becomes soft
and pliable. The letters or figures, as the
case may be, are tken traced On the metal,
alter which the graveur is brought into play.
This tool must be highly tempered, or else
it will fail to do the work marked out for
it on the steel plate The artist who attempts
die sinking must needs be temperate in his
habits, as steady hand and clear eyesght
are two necessary requisites, should success
be the object to be attained The cutting of
the various letters and designs cannot be
rushed. as the artist must work slowly to OBJ
tsin accuracy.
Dies are used for medals, rubber stamps,
seal presses, wax and notary seals, ribbon
stamps, stencil alphabets and various other
necessaries of mercantile use. Many of the
steel dies cut for medals bring high price,
and when any sort of fine piece of work is
turned out the die usually brings as much as
$50. The greatest number Of dies nowadays
are used IN the cutting of rubber stamps,
and, although bringing q fair price, not
many duplicate orders are received, as the
metal viii weaa d lifetime, should it not meet
with mishap on the style change, wEich IL

STRANGE SYSTEM OF SIGNS.

How Convicts Communicate in Spite OF
Close Surveillance-An Example.
Incidents that must necessarily follow from
intercommunication often happen in peni-
tentiaries, where the rules are rigid and sur
veillance so close that a convict is never
from under the eye of guard or taskmas-
ter. No matter to what extreme the rule
prohibiting conversation between convicts
may be enforced, they find some means by
which to inform themselves of what is going
on or what is to occur. But, more than this,
a convict may conceive the idea of escape or
revolt, and for him to communicate it to
one he wishes to have as an accomplice is not
difficult. They bring others into the plot or
plan until twenty or thirty know it, in the
details for the carrying out of which each is
assigned his particular part. This necessi-
tates a thorough explanation of the minutiB
and calls for a system of communication for
which limited use of signs would not an
swer.
The system, whatever it is, involves no
doubt an elaboration of signs, aided when
ever chance offers the means by written COM
munication. The secret use of the latter
means for expressing ideas and purposes will
not account for the completeness of informa-
prison walls, for, whether anything occurs in
the office or the most distant part of the pri-
son, within fifteen minutes there is not a con-
Wet who does not know all about it. Peni-
Tertiary officials have tried again and again
to obtain even a clew to the system, but they
are no nearer a solution than when they first
began to investigate the matter. They know
there is a system, and that it rests on signs.
but whether ON those made with fingers, eyes
and lips, or the bringing into play Of other
features, or whether it depends on all to-
gether, they do not know. Prisoners, to
curry favor with the officials, often tell them
what they have learned from other convicts.
They go to especial trouble at times IN expos
ing plots, and are ready to reveal everything
except the means by which they learned the
facts. No convict has yet given the slightest
suggestion which would lead to the discovery
of the secret that has defied the shrewdest de
tectives. a
