pEMocRAcYs FLAG.

Respectfully addressed to the gallant
patriots who have borne aloft the banner Of
Democracy through the long dark night Of Re-
publican misrule.
sOh. say do you see by the dawn's early lightf''
That the flag OF Democracy floats on the
breeze;
friumphantly borne through the long bitter
fight
It's place at the masthead the ballot DEGREES.
Though monoply's teat sought to bring it de-
feat
No conoueror had victory half SO complete.
IT'S the flag of Democracy, long may it wave.
The hope of the pure and the pride OF the
brave.
Where are the bold rascals who boastingly
swore
Tha. their Doodle and buster should swamp
our just cause.
The people arose in their might, as Of yore,
And crushed the mean despots who threat
ened our laws.
No money they gave their tocsS S16es could
save
From the foul smelling depths of the base trait.
And the dag Of Democracy in triumph doth
The hope OF the pure and the pride OF she
brave.
May it ever be so when brave patriots stand
To protect our loved homes from monopoly s
maws;
Thus shielded and blest may this God-favo,ed
land
Ave trust the good party that honors its laws;
That virtue and fame may cling to our name,
And save us from wearing the mantle OF
shame;
And the flag of Democracy in glory will wave
The hope Of the pure and the pride OF the
brave.

The End of Usurer Ingalls,.

Certain Republican Senators ex-
pressed discomfort with high taxation
on the necessaries of life Among them
were the two Kansans, Plumb and In
gals. None of the Senators of the Nc
Kinley party had the courage to do
more than grumble. Each gave the tar.
i'll bill his vote. Both manifestly had
some glimmer of the coming storm, but
neither dared to break away from his
party. The cyclone burst with great
fury, but in no section with greater
force than in Kansas. which had be-
come the banner State Of the Republic
an party. The day Of trial comes for
Ingalls,. but he will not be spared the
wrath and the vengeance. This pawn
broker in politics may now set up his
mortgage banks in Kansas and pile per
centages upon victims He will never
again sit in the Senate of the United
States. Even If he had possessed the
wit and the courage to vote against Mo
KfnleyiSm instead of showing himself
merely queru1ous he would still be de-
livered to the Judgment Kansas was
through with Ingalls,, and the county

FALLING INTO LINE.

Tho Principal Western Organ OF the q.
o. p. Denounces High Taxation.
The sweeping Democratic victory of
November 4. extending practically all
over the United States, was due simply
to the dissatisfaction of the people with
the provisions of the Mckinley bill.
There was no other general issue. The
voters of the United States have de-
clared that they do not want q tariff OF
the sort imposed by that measure. 1t
matters but little that the nature OF
the bill may not have been fully under
stood It matters but little that the
battle was fought before the material
effects of recent legislation were Justly
apparent The verdict has. been rem
dered and a reversal at am time is most
unlikely.
American industries must be pro
tect ed, but only those which need pro-
lection. There mast be tariff for req
enHe, but no tariff schich Increases The
cost Of the necessities Of life or tends to tie
consolidation Of great interssts or the build
ing up Of monopoz les and trusts. Public
sentiment is properly Influenced by
the law of selfpreservation, and the
effect is. and will be, rising up in
arms against any thing which will
make the rich richer and the poor poor.
81. A tariff which makes monopo1ies
produces such results. It has been de-
cided by q mighty jury that the Mo
Ktn1ey bill provided for taxation OF this
class.

lNoRATITUDE.
A SanskrIt Fable.

A Sanskrit Fable.
A holy hermit rescued once mouse
A savage bird had seized upon for prey,
And kept the little rodent in his house,
And fed it from his table day by day.
Soon seeing how cat the mouse distressed,
And moved in pity for his pet thereat.
The saint, with power OF miracles pos
seSsed,
Transformed his protege into cat.
But now the mouse, or rather &C: i.4t.ai,
OF every cur was quite much afraid,
Wherein the saint, to end the feline's dread,
Wrought new charm, and puss dog was
made.
Again his charge is filed with deep alarm,
The beasts Of prey that roam the forest
through
Will surely some time do 1t cruel harm,
A further change-the dog tiger grew.
Now hear the sequel, you. and heed it well;
This creature with an ingrate's heart within,
Overheard his guardian once another tell
How he the tiger first a mouse had been.
Chagrined that any one his past should know,
And SO give honor to his human friend,
He foully purposed by a sudden blow
His savior's life to take and body rend.
ssF'or" thought he, 'if this man be only killed
twill stop his prating of my former state
ALL too will be with fear and reverence filled
That should conquer one SO wise and great"
With such resolves the hermit's haunt he
sought,
Drew near to spring, when. warned through
mystic lore,
His master read che truth, and quick as
thought
The thankless tiger was a mouse once more.
A noble moral, easily construed,
Lies meath this story's superficial sense
What viler is than base ingratitude,
Or surer of speedy recompense?

"FRIENDLY BARTER"

An Interesting Object Lesson In Foreign
Tr.de-Large Imports Mean Large Ex-
ports-Our Markets Beyond the Sea, and
How McKinieyism Endangers Them.
The change from the old tariff to the
new developed at the port of New York
an interesting object lesson as illustrat-
ing the nature Of trade between foreign
countries During the last week Of the
old tariff there was an extraordinary
rush of goods into New York from
Europe. This, of course, brought an IN
usual number Of ships to that port The
reports show that more ships were
entered there during the last week of
the old tariff than in any previous
weeks
The next week there was an unusual
expectation of our products to European
and other foreign ports The cause Of
this large expectation was given by a
custom house official of the New York
Commercial Bulletin The following is
the expectation as published in the
Bulletin:
At the custom house inquiry was made In
several departments as to the cause of tbs
large increase, but no reason could be rs
cribed except that the rush o. imports &C
this country incident to the operation OF the
ne v tariff had brought hither large number
of vessels, and the competition for return
eargoes had been so great that freight rates
had been reduced to q minimum. thus OF
ferlng to exporters special Inducements e
send our domestic produce earlier than they
otherwise would have done
This incident furnishes useful lesson:
in foreign trade. It shows that such
trade is what Blaine calls friendly
barter" that we trade products for prod

large numbers to New York in order Il
bring in goods before the Mckinley

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.

One of the Coming Features of Our
Educational System.
The coming feature of our civiliza-
ton is the industrial school-the school
where mechanical trades are taught A
generation ago the system by which
trades were taught was apprenticeship.
That system was very Objectionable in
several respects, and has disappeared,
in this country at least and apparently
in Europe also to a considerable extent
The principal objection to it was loss of
time. Several years were consumed in
learning what could easily be taught,
and better taught, in one-fourth the
time. The lad was frequently subjected
to the indignities of a kind of slavery,
and generally forced to routine per-
Torrance of labors with which he was
already quite familiar, and from which
he was learning nothing. Drunken
masters and vicious surroundings very
often formed also part of the situation.
In place of this crude and incomplete
mode, trades are now commencing to be
taught as Systematically as the arts and
sciences Teachers are selected for
their intelligence, skill, devotion to the
cause and good morals, as we'll as good
manners The surroundings of the
student-for such he is-are elevating.
He has all the advantages of healthy
competition, besides skilled instruction
of high grade and the use of the most
improved tools and implements. A
young man coming with good creden-
tials from an accredited institution of
that sort will be eagerly sought after.
He will have no difficulty in getting
good employment And, besides being
a thorough mechanic. he will be a
gentleman and good citizen. so far as
education, example and proper associa-
ton can make him such. In the ex-
periments heretofore made, the new
system is said to have given excellent
results, and there can be but little doubt
| that it is destined to revolutionize the
social and business standing of our me-
chanics.-N. O. Morning Star.

The First Blow.

The Mckinley bill has drawn its first
blood from labor. A Buffalo, N Y,
manufacturer who uses a certain
English stuff in his business, has re-
Gently been compelled to pay nine cents
a yard more for it than formerly, owing
to the higher duties under the MCKEE
ley bill.
The New York merchant from whom
he buys the cloth expressed surprise
at the promptness with which the Buff
falo manufacturer agreed to the higher
price
To this the Buffalo man replied as
follows: You were somewhat surprised
that we could afford to pay the sddi-
tional nine cents 9 yard for cloth, but
1 prepared our work people for it. and
to-day. by making a cut equal
to 10 per cent in their wages all around.

them all into good, sound Democrats
That take it. is as good as q Yankee
could do"
The stuff referred to is sold by the
English manufacturer at 80 cents yard
The present duty is ITO per cent ad
valorem, bringing the cost up to IS
cents yard, and agents commissions,
etc, to IS cents The Mckinley bill
makes the duty 40 per cent or a cents
yard instead of 80 cents The manu-
facturer at Buffalo meets the additional
cost by reducing the wages of his labor.

A prominent protectionist paper
claims to believe that we import 5.ooo,-

FiFTY-SECOND CONGRESS.

1t VIII Be Democratic and Protect the
Rights Of the People.
The industrial and economical condi-
lions of the country were such that a
change of the party in power in the Ma
tional House of Representatives was
imperatively required. The people
went to the polls and by their ballots
created this change. They rebuked the
present administration and the tariff
policy of the Republican majority il
power. They served notice on Speaker
Reed, the creature of the protected
nonopolists. that his course as dictator
was not sanctioned by his real masters.
ard their action was evidence that they
did not propose to see the would-be
cars and imperialists further throttle
the people and strengthen their hold on
the throat of liberty by passing the in
famous force bill at the next session.
The legitimate result of the change
in the complexion of the House will be
the deposing of Reed from his throne;
the election of Democratic speaker;
the repeal or Modification of the McKin-
ley bill, and the killing of the infamous,
un-American and menacing force bill,
which was devised solely for the pur-
pose of packing the House and holding
a majority in the interests of the pluto
Gratis.
There will doubtless be strong oppo-
sition developed in the Senate amcng
the agents and conservators of the pro-
tected barons to any change in the Nc
Kinley tariff, but it remains to be seen
whether they dare override the will OF
the people, as expressed by vast ma.
jority of over IL, 600, 600 votes.
The election vas practically civil

Owing to the long term the Repub
licans will continue to hold the Senate
