The young men of the country
should attach themselves to the
Democratic party. 1t is what its
name imports. a party aof the PEG.
pie, by the people and for the peo-
pie" 1t believes in the maxim,
"the greatest good to the greatest
number" and repudiates the theory
which its opponents have partially
put into practical operation, that
this is a paternal government that
must take care of the rich and let
the rich take care of the poor. 1t
opposes giving any class special
privileges. Itrepudiates the assess
inent of taxes upon the many for
the benefit of the few, and all sys-
TENS that encourage monopoIies
and trusts, and make the rich still
richer and the poor still poorer 1t
clings to the principles of the Con-
stitution as understood by Jefferson
and the fathers OF the Republic. 1t
insists that the general government
is one of limited powers and has no
right 10 interfere with local self-gov
eminent; aud that the States have
the right to regulate their domestic
concerns in their own way, subject
only to the supreme law of the land.
1t declares in favor of diffusion of
the powers instead of their central
ization into one immense oligarchy,
which is no better than monarchy
1t desires that every individual
shall enjoy the largest liberty con
sistent with the safety of society,
without regard to creed, color or
profession, and neither entertains
any prejudice nor contemplates any
action against the just rights of the
citizen. These are some of the
principles of the party of the people
which ought to attract the young
men TO its fold.

After the farmers of the country
come to conclude that they have
voted a heavy indirect tax Oh them
selves to build up manufacturing
monopolies in the North and East
long enough, they will organize for
more just and equal tariff laws. 1t
Is strange that struggling, hard
working farmer, who can scarcely
meet his direct tax, should vote to
burden himselt.with an additional
Indirect tax of al per cent. to enrich
manufacturers who make more clear
money every day than his farm is
worth. This is what the average
farmer of this country has been do
ing for years Wayne NecS.

much he had made on his grain and
feeling of encouragement came
over the wheat grower. While
waiting for his dinner mt pubIic

informed him that they were pro-
posing 10 increase the tariff on GER

II suppose they will also put a. lit.
tie more tariff on fertilizers, too. for
the-purpose of encouraging. home in

everything he buys is protected.
He is robbed for the benefit of the

Tho chairman of tho Republican
executive committee told the ballot
box investigators the other day that
he had given Wood the money to
quit Ohio and hide during the re-
mainder of the campaign after the
exposure. He coolly defended this
action by saying that he was afraid
that the Democrats would get hold
OF Wood and make him tell some
thing. Luckily the people of Ohio
had sense enough to see through the
Infamous conspiracy at the time and
honesty enough TO bury its chief ac-
tor under an avalanche of ballots.

The next move to be,made 10y the
Democratic party in this State is
one tending to getting the party in
harness for the coming battles.
There should be complete casting
away of old grudges and the ASSUME
ing by all of an equal share of the
burdens to be borne forward. The
gentlemen in the party who
cherish aspirations should begin a,
once to measure them by the effect
to be produced on the welfare oil
the party, which should be the first
and only consideration in the mind
of n worthy Democrat. And the
party should conclude and resolutc-
ly determine that no favoriiism
should lead it into error.
There are plenty of Democrats
left in West Virginia yet. There
need not be any fear of Republican
success if the Democrats will act as
Democrats and profit by the lessons
of the past. Let each and every
Democrat remember that it is the
principles OF the party that demand
that he shall sacrifice his own de-
sires, for more than this cometh of
evil. 49, X.
So far as the course we shall take
is concerned, we shall be guided by
no friendship or prejudices. We
shall close our eyes and ears and be
dumb to every claim that is in consis-
tent with the veal of Democracy.
1t such a course shall be pursued by
the Democratic press and the MEM
hers of the party, there shall be no
overthrow of Democracy in this
State for years to come. Let all
divisions remain healed as we be-
lieve they now are, and with the di-
visions now existing in the Repub-
lican party, there is no shadow of
doubt of Democratic triumph. But

a bill has been introduced into
Congress requiring one half of all
the internal revenue taxes collected
in each State to be turned over to
its treasurer for State purposes.
This is II move in the right di1rec-
ton. If the Federal Government
will not repeal or revise the internal
revenue laws, and thereby collect
annually more than hundred mill
lions more than it's expenditure, by
all means, let portion be handed
over to the State from which. it was
collected and thereby relieve the
State to some extent. We think if
the Federal Government will not
stop collecting this tax it surely
ought not to hesitate in returning to
the States that which it has taken
from them and cannot find any use
for.

What the Republican Party
Means.

Kanawha Gazette: What do the
Republicans mean? is a question
that one hears asked many times
when the political affairs of the
country are under discussion. There
doesn't seem to be very much doubt
as to the significance of Republican
action within the past eighteen
months. When one sees a strange
man in his dwelling in the still
hours of the night, with burglar
tools, murderous weapons and u
bull's-eye lantern, it doesn't require
Solomon to tell what he means.
So when, by the corrupt use of
money, by lies and forgeries, we see
a party not representing the major
ity of the people, break into control
of the government under the public
and persistent declaration that they
intend to maintain a system of tax
alton not only in opposition to the
welfare of the people, and against
moral and political right, but to the
destruction and suersxion of the
laws and the principles of this Re-
public; when we see that party dill
gently encouraging every scheme
that the cupidity of avarice and the
ingenuity of the INSCRIPTIONS can
devise to extort money from. the
people not needed in the ecomomi-
cal administration of their affairs;
when we see that party introducing
into the National Congress measures
for the destruction of the right OF
the people to choose their own rep
resentatives; when we sec that party
overturning in the popular branch
of the Congress the precedents of a
hundred years and enthroning II
despot to choke the oppression OF
an honest and patriotic minority to
plnndering conspiracics; when we
: see that party devoting itself to the
preparation of every species of vii
lainy to extend the tenure of its
political power, despite the fact that
the people do not want it extended
it becomes perfectly plain that they
mean to cast down the rule of the
people and set up the oligarchy.
1t Is the dying struggle of the
worn out giant. Hopeless of popu.
lar favor, it seeks to substitute force
and by revolution to bend the ways
if it can not the wills, of the Ameri
can people to the justification of the
treason it contemplates.
The Republican party is bought
and owned and ruled by the mer
