The MILITARY PARADE.
More Than Five Hours Consumed in the
Review.

NEW YORK, April 30.-At precisely 10:2;
| General Schofeld gave the order and tine
greatest military parade of modern times
started. The streets along the whole line
of marched were packed to suffocation. So
long was the parade and so dense the
crowd that it required about six hours to
pass given point. The presidential party
received the greatest ovation ever given on
Broadway as they rode to the reviewing
stand. The reviewing stand at Madison
square was reached without accident and
the procession was reviewed.
With hardly halt the great column
moved on past the grand stand and it was
twenty minutes past 6, FIVE hours and
twenty-five minutes after the start, when
the last file had passed and the president
was able to lift his right arm which for
five hours had been constantly busy in an
swering salutes He removed his hat
when General Schofield passed, as he did
when the governors rode by. TO the lead
ers Of the brigades, regiments and in in
stances. companies, he only touched his
hat. There were two notable exceptions,
however, when in two instances captains
carried their swords in their left hands,
their right coat sleeves were empty, ana
recognition of this the president bowed
perfOundly and raised his hat.
General Sherman, Mayor Grant, Sec
rotary Window and Mr.. Cleveland left be-
fore the procession had passed Through
out the soldiers made a remarkably fine
appearance. The Seventh New York won
its usual laurel; Pennsylvania made one
Of the biggest turnouts. Governor Hill
rode his horse like an old timer and was
loudly cheered. Ovations were given also
to most of the governors, Buckner, of
Kentucky, of Unconditional surrender
fame being prominent among them. The
Grand Army OF the Republic came in at
the end and were received all along the
route with cheers and hurrahs, though
nearly every one who had viewed the long
parade were thoroughly tired out.

THE DUTY OF DEMOCRACY.


THE DUTY OF DEMOCRACY.
The duty of democracy is
to take up the. campaign OF
education with respect to the
tariff with renewed spirit and
continue it with ever increas-
ing gearnestness and zeal until
the day of election four years
hence. The agricultural in
terest, the fundamental inter-
est-of the whole country is
depressed as never before in
it's history. 1t is oppressed
and made to pay tribute to
the tariff barons of the North.
| Other lines of industry suffer.
also, though not to the same
extent, and rs soon as the
people generally are enabled
to see clearly why and how,
the republican system OF tax
alton will go by the board for
all time to come. That sys-
TEN arose upon the exigen-
cies of the war and has been
continued for the purpose Of
draining the country at large
the South especially for
the benefit OF the North and
the manufacturing monopo-
lists of the North-the repub-
lican pets-in particular. 1t
has made possible the trusts
and other combines to stihe
ihealthy competition and en-
courages those economic
/ monstrosities in the flourish
ing like green bay-trees we
witness ON their part. 1t is
the breeder OF trusts and is
consequently the enemy OF
all those whose welfare the
trusts menace. 1t. must be
done away with. 1t must be
made to yield to the healthy
democratic doctrine OF Il tar
iff for revenue with only Incl.
dental protection. The sur.
plus must be disposed OF. 1t
must not be squandered. II
must be prevented. Only sc
much must be collected from
the people as is necessary to
the support Of the govern
ment economically admins

is necessary must be SO lev
