A Good Example.

The Barnum Club, OF Hunting.
ton, is setting the Democrats good
example, and one that could be
emulated to good advantage
throughout the State. The Barn.
UNI has maintained its organization
with regular meetings ever since
the campaign of 1888, last week its
membership was increased forty by
the reception of new members
The Club is Differed by brainy and
energetic, working young Demo
Gratis who are industrious in season
and out of season in behalf of demo-
cratic candidates and democratic
principles. They are at work all
the time. Meetings are held regu-
larly and are we'll attended. Dem
ocrats are solicited to become mem
bers, and thus become more closely
identified with their party, and in
this way the party is strengthened
and made stronger, and the result is
seen in the solid line which the
members present on election day.
Such club as the Barnum in every
county in the state would mean q
good many votes to the democratic
party arkersJ,trg Sentinel.

Maryland's suit Against Vest virginia

Maryland's Suit Against West Virginia.
Attorney General White, of
Maryland, has asked leave of the
United States Supreme Court 10 file
a bill in chancery, in behalf of the
State of Maryland, against the State
of West Virginia, to settle dispute
over boundaries. Maryland claims
that her western boundary is a
meridian line running south TO the
first or most distant mountain of tho
Potomac, and that West Virginia
has wrongfully asserted title to a
strip of land several miles wide be-
tween the south branch of the Po-
tomac and the present generally
recognized line. Maryland will
hardly get any of the territory now
embraced in the boundaries of West
Virginia.

The Parkersburg Sentinel, says:
aWest Virginia is a great state for
political tricks of one kind and
another The latest development,
which may not now fully materi-
alize because it has become public,
is a job being carefully worked to
set up delegation to the national
republican convention in opposition
to Harrison"

The Parkersburg Sentinel: 1t is a
matter of remark, and some pride
to the Democratic party, that in the
Senate of the United States Demo
cratic superiority in the matter of
brains, craftsmanship and parlia-
mentary acumen is generally ac-
knowledged. The Republicans have
replaced Edmunds with Gallinger,
Ingalls, is succeeded by PETER and
Sherman is in dunger. The Demo
Gratis have German, Voorhees,, Hill,
Faulkner, Palmer, Carlisle and 9TH
ers of equal strength and renown.
Even the more partisan of Repub-
Iican papers concede the growing
weakness of the Republican major
ity in the upper body of Congress.
But after all the Republicans of the
Senate are a reflex of their party
in its natural state. 1t is gradually
approaching an early and perman-
ent dissolution.

A substantial farmer called on
Farm and Home the other day TO
state that he and his family had
about decided TO sell the old farm.
But if free delivery of mail matter
could be secured, the young folks
would be contented to stay at home,
and the family would keep the farm.
The homestead in question is well
equipped in every respect, except
that it is located in rather out of
the way but beautiful situation some
two miles from the postoflice. This
farmer believes that free delivery of
the mails would do more to build
up agriculture and populate rural
towns than any one thing. Curl
ously enough, however. this gentle.
man, like many other farmers, is so
modest that he doesn't want to be
the first to circulate petition to
his representative and senator in
Congress in favor of free delivery.
Like very many farmers, he is too
modest for his own good. How is
this work to be consummated unless
every man and woman who is in
terested in it takes hold in earnest,
circulates the petition, writes letters
to issenator and representative and
also to the postmaster general.
This man was a little dubious OF
success because he thought Farm
and Homes circulation was confin-
ed to the Eastern and Central States
He was quite surprised to learn
that through the Western edition OF
Farm and Home, published at Chi
cago, the campaign was being just
effectively pushed in the Western,
Southern, inter mountain and Pa
cific cost states. Farm and Home
means business just as much in one
part of the United States as another.
If jewellers in rural towns will only
send &C. to Farm and Home for the
postal extension outfit and go to
work, we shall secure universal free
delivery in few months. Get an
outfit and get down to business.
A few hours work in every school
district in the land by an earnest
person will win the victory.

Tariff Platforms.

We have, says the Pittsburg Post,
an inquiry as to what the Demo-
cratic national platforms have de-
clared on the tariff since the elect
ion of Mr.. Buchanan before the
civil war. The national platform
of 1856, on which he was nominated,
set forth "that the time has come
for the people of the United States
to declare themselves in favor of
free trade throughout the world"
This was probaly the most adj
vanced position the party has ever
taken on the subject. 1t was fol-
lowed by the passage of the tariff
act of 1857. the lowest tariff since
the early days of the republic, and
averaging only about Is per cent.
customs tax on the foreign impor-
tations. 1t is we'll to remember
that this law was passed by Re-
publican House, of which General
Banks, of Massachusetts, was
Speaker, and by Democratic
Senate.
The tariff resolution in the plat
form of 1860, was as above quoted.
In 1864 the platform was silent
upon the tariff question. The war
was on, and the government requir-
ed all the revenue it could gather.
In 1868 the platform declared for
a tariff for rerenue upon foreign i'm
ports and such equal taxation under
the internal revenue laws as will af-
ford incidental protection to Ameri-
can manufacturers.
In 1872 the Democrats accepted
the platform of the Liberal Republi-
cans, which relegated' the question
to the congressional districts. This
was TO meet the candidacy of Mr..
Greeley.
In 1876 the Democratic platform
denounced tho protective tariff as
ga masterpiece ofinjustice, inequali-
ty and false pretensc," and demand
ed that call custom house taxation
shall be only for revenue"
The platform of 1880 declared for
a tariff revenue only.
The platform of 1884 demanded
that federal taxation shall be ex-
for public purposes.
The Democratic platform of 1888
reaffirmed the tariff plank of 1884,
and Endorsed Mr.. Cleveland's great
message as the correct interpreted
ton thereof.

The Chicago Times gets very near
to the real position when it says:
The agricultural interest is a
great sufferer through Mckinley
ism. Repeal the duty on jute, sisal
and binding Irvine, and one enor-
nous exaction, one gigantic trust
will go to the wall, greatly to the
advantage of cereal farmers. Take
the tax off cotton ties and the grow
ers of this mighty staple will be re-
lieved of an onerous burden. Re-
move the duty on salt. The burden
is slight in detail, but salt, like
light, air and water, is necessity
of human existence and ought not
to be taxed. Then, that there may
be better and cheaper wooden fab
RIGS, articles of universal use, place
wool upon the free list. Take the
tax from lumber, that roof trees
may be more readily erected in the
great treeless west as elsewhere.
