THE ST. LOUIS DECLARATION.


Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The report of the committee of reso-
lutions made to the industrial conference
at St. Louis yesterday is one of the most
remarkable platforms ever formulated.
The exordium is woefully pessimistic,
and the declaration of principles is an
unique sample of crazy-quiit patchwork.
The nation is described as on the very
verge of moral, political and material
ruin; as dominated by corruption in all
its branches of government, even to the
bench; the newspapers are subsidized
OF muzzled; public opinion silenced,
business Frustrated and our homes COW
cred with mortgages; workmen denied
the right to organize for protection and
shot down by hireling soldiers-and
more of the same sort. In word, "a
vast conspiracy against mankind has
been organized on two continents and
is taking possession of the world"
To redress these fearful grievances
aon the continents" this new organiZa-
tion has been formed. Its object, in the
language of somewhat familiar pream-
BILE, is ''to form more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tran
guilty, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare and secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity." 1t is then "ordained and
established" in sort of fiat way, that
"the union of the labor forces this day
accomplished is permanent and perpet-
ual, on the principles set forth. Among
the "demands" are national currency
without banks; the subtr asury scheme
for cheap money; the free and unlimited
coinage of silver: graduated income
tax; anti-land monopoly; government
ownership of railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines, and an increase of the
circulating medium to an amount not
less than $50 per capita.
1t must be assumed now that every
voter in the United States 0eaving out
of consideration for the present the
millions of other constituents) who feels
weighed down and impoverished by the
dreadful evils of the government, will at
once join the new party and support its
candidates. The old parties, having

A Doyn East ToI1 Rridge sicn

A few old toll bridges down east bear
signs that perpetuate the memory of a
curious law. These signs proclaim that
ell persons, save ''paupers, Indians and
clergymen," must pay toll in crossing
the bridge. The indulgence shown to
paupers and clergymen is easily under
stood from the practice elsewhere, but
why the Indians were exempted is not
so clear, un4ess, indeed, it was recog-
milton of the aboriginal right to the free
dom of the region.-Boston Journal.

Disorders Which Affect the Kidneys
Are among the most formidable known.
Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and

the peculiar Office of those organs to
eliminate and pass off. The Bitters is
