Here is the portion Of the tariff plank
reported by the majority of the com.
mittee on resolutions which the. Chi.
eago convention voted down:
We rciterate the oft.repeated doc.
trines Of the Democratic party, that the
necessity of the Government is the only
justification for taxation, and Whenever
a tax is unnecessary, 1t is uniustifiable;
that when customs house taxation is
levied upon articles Of any kind pro-
duced in this country, THE DIFFER.
ENCE BETWEEN THE COST OF
LABOR HEREAND LABOR ABROAD,
when such a difference exists, fully
measures any possible benefits TO labor,
and the enormous additional imposi-
tons OF the existing tariff fall with
crushing force upon our farmers and
workingmen, and, for the mere adyan-
tage Of the few whom it e%nriches,. ex-
acts from labor a grossly unjust share
OF the expense OF the Government. And
we demand such O revision OF the tariff
laws as will remove their ubiquitous in
CAPABILITIES, tighten their expressions
and put them on q constitutional and
equitable basis.
But, in making reduction in taxes, IT.
is NOT PROPOSED TO 1NJURE ANY
DOMESTIC INDUSTRIES BUT RATH-
ER TO PROMOTE THEIR HEALTHY
o From the foundation OF
this government the taxes collected at
the custom house have been the chief
source OF federal revenue. Such they
must continue to be. Moreover, many
industries have come to rely upon legis-
latlon for successful continuance, so
that ANY CHANGES OF LAW MUST
BE AT EVERY STEP REGARDFUL
OF THE LABOR AND CAPITAL
THUS INVOLVED. The progress OF
reform must he subject in the execu.
ton to this plain dictate OF justice.
BOLD, DISGUISED FREE TRADE.
Here is the tariff plank reported by
the minority Of the committee which
the convention adopted as a substitute
for the above:
We denounce Republican protection
as a fraud-as a robbery Of agrest ma
jority OF the American people for the
benefit Of a few. WE DECLARE IT
TO BE A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCE
PIE 0FTHE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO
CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO M
POSE AND COLLECT A DOLLAR
FOR TAN EXCEPT FOR PURPOSES
OF REVENUE ONLY, aud demand that
the collection OF such taxes be imposed
by the government when only honestly
and economically administered.
ANOTHER OF THE SAME SORT.
Here is IN extract from the Constitu-
ton Of the Confederate States, which,
as will BIO seen. is as like the Chicago
Democratic declaration as two peas:
The Congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes, duties, imposts and
excuses for revenue necessary to pay
the debts, provide for the common do.
Tense, and carry on the government of
the Confederate States; but no boun=
ties shall be granted from the treasury,
nor shall any duties or taxes on impor-
tations from foreign nations be laid to
promote or foster any branch Of indus
try.

Iafayette'S Home.

The Chateau de Chayaniac is on q
high hill, and in the misty back.
ground are the slopes of Mounts
Dome, Laguet and Cantal. A lovely
wide avenue at least a mile long Leads
to it from Paulhaguet The avenue
is ibordered by porlars, ash and elm
trees, all of which were planted b.,
the General. The chateau itself is !;
rather new building, for it stands OF
the place OF one that was burned il
the eighteenth century.
1t forms parallelogram, each sid,
Of which is sevcnty-tive feet long an(
with a height of about forty. The
principal front faces the north, but
on each side several doors offer easy
exits. The construction lacks ele
gance. and if it were not for it's fine
situation, the lovely site on which il
stands and the ancient trees that
form splendid framework. it Woulc
present rather heavy physiognomy
The ground floor is only occupied BY
kitchens, pantrics and wine cellars:
the first story is divided into severa'
fine rooms, and on the upper floor are
the bedchambcrs, most of which
have, however, remained unoccupie'
since 1929, when Lafayette made hi
last visit to his native place.
The most important room on the
first floor is about forty-two feet long.
and has served in turn for dining
hall and ballroom. In it are the
family portraits, most of them mod
crn, and several busts, among which
are those of Washington, Franklin.
Jean Jacques Rousseau, Montesquieu.
Voltaire, Caesar, Brutus, Cicero and
Socrates. The library has perhaps d
thousand volumes, and the books still
bear the eek libris" of the Generals
arms, and "Cui non?" his proud
device.

Elliott, losing all control of himself.
"You will have the truth, will you? You

Ruth Elliott turned frightfully pale,
but an indignant flush appeared on
either cheek.

Elliott. NO, call him "a thief

The Indian.

The popular idea Of the Indian
roaming over the prairies, living on
the fruits of the chase and just what
he can gather, does not properly
characterize all of the tribes. Some
of the Indians of the South and
Southwest were excellent agricult-
wrists. In Georgia and Alabama,
when the white man first went
among the Natchcz Indians, they
found them all cultivating maize,
beans, suntlowers, sweet potatoes,
melons, pumpkins, and large num-
Der Of the native fruits growing in
orchards - persimmons, honey 10
Gusts, mulberry, black walnuts and
shell banks OF the best kind were
sorted and planted by them. Many
of the New Mexican and Arizona
Indians were also far advanced in the
agricultural art.

thing else, he tore Ruth from the CLASP
of her lover.
Roaring like mailman, he confronted
Paul Dalton, menacing him, anathena-
tizing him, ready to crush him with up
lifted hands.
Thief! Miscreant Hypocrite!" he
fairly choked out. 'Oh! could forgive
a thief OF money, but this-you serpent,
with your smooth, willy ways, to steal
my girls heart-go, | warn you, or
will do you harm!"
The two astounded laborers, we'll
knowing Farmer Johns ungovernable
temper, pressed Dalton toward the door.
With last look at the crushed ano
weeping Ruth, the accused turned upon
her father.
John Elliott, he spoke firmly, almost
sadly, some day you will regret your
unjust aceusation-the truth concerning
that will come to light soon. AS to
Ruth, heart of stone could not hell

until I can stand before all men, BY

That will never be. Don't be in !;
hurry, Mr.. Paul Dalton. l have some
thing to say to YOU
The impressive tableau was rudely
disturbed by the jeering, bantering
words.
The door had opened, and, his face
flushed with drink and excitement, his
malevolent eyes glowing with the GER
tainty Of mean and crushing revenge
Ralph Prescott entered the room.
What's this?" Numbered Farmer
John, his brows knit frowningly.
I've heard your talk from the out
side, explained Prescott, glibly. "I've
heard this highly indignant gentle
mans high-hown talk, too. He's in
nocent, is he? Then he's changed from
what he once was. Time to find hin
out, Mr.. Elliott-time to get him out O.
the house where he's lurked, a hypo-
critic, a serpent, SO long"
What do you mean?" demande,
Farmer John, obviously.

aflame with concentrated delight ant
malignity, that Paul Dalton is worse
than thief"
Worse than a thief" repeated FL
lott, excitedly.
Yes, I charge him-and l dare hin
to deny it-with being an ex-convict!"

The Daisy.

In Scotland the daisy was, and in
some parts still is, regarded as a
healing plant; and if the sick man
can only put his foot on fully ex-
banded daisy, he has hopes of re-
covery, just as in some other parts
some mountain stream or quiet
spring is supposed to possess magical
powers. Faith, no doubt, has good
deal to do with the cure, and the
thought that touching any given OBJ
ject would effect a cure would do
much to accomplish the same. 1t is
further believed that if the farmer
kneels down and bites off the first
daisy of spring plentiful crop will
be the reward

The representation is very freely made that
much of the regret which IS felt 10y tho MEM
bers of the royal family over the death Of the
Duke Of Clarence is due TO the apprehension
that the throne Of England may yet become
the heritage of a scion Of Scotch family
which has no claims of ancestral distinction
to be compared even with those of the
Towards. Russells and Cayendlshes of Eng
land For the line Of Duh to succeed tho
line Of Guelph Is from a royal point of view a
very serious matter. as it will substitute a
strain of ordinary blood for the very blue
blood OF the House of Brunswick.

true. he is both manly and attractive

conduce to the permanence of royal institu-
tons in England il the Guelph line were 10 end
with the lie of the present Princess Louise Of
Wales. Duchess of Fife. and the new line Of
Duff to begin with the accession of son of
hers rs yet unborn.
There ia nothing which is more likely %
give stamina to English kingship than the
infusion of new blood from an entirely DIFF
ferent race The earls Of Fife have been
men of very considerable vigor Of character
without being distinguished for extraordi-
nary talents They are eminently Scotch in
their traits. which IS tantamount to saying that
they possess some OF the finest mental and
moral qualities in the world A son Of the
present Duke of Fife is likely to be a man
marked by the characteristics Of lis race. and
would be preferable TO a moro direct repre-
sentative of the family now occupying the
throne Of England, which is essentially alien
TO tho English people.
Much is said and written at the present time
about the growth Of the democratic spirit in
England. IL is undoubtedly Spreading but
the mass Of the English people arc evidently

AMERICA is considered to be the seat OF the
most advanced thought in connection with
the general status of woman in society, and
of certain portions OF America this view q d
lust one. Kansas and me of the North
western States have expressly conferred tire
right Of suffrage on women with some limita-
tons. and other Northern States which have
not gone quite SO far in a political direction
have yet thrown open every avenue for bread
winning to individuals of the female sex. 1t
is not uninteresting, however. 10 note that
American women, with all tie recent enlarge
menL of their sphere OF action In the nited
States. have never exercised the degree Cf
political influence which has FROM time imine-
mortal been exercised by English women.
There is to-day Womens Liberal Society in
England which is practically political or
ganization, numbering a. many as 100000
members. The Primrose League Is largely
composed of women, and is very much under
their influence. The explanation Of tho diff
ference between the two countries in this 70
spect is not far TO seek. England is governed
by coterie OF men OF more or less inherited
power, and these men are politically very
much influenced 10y the women Of their
families, who take an open part in political
campaigns and in the Inauguration Of political
policies. The famous episodes which gave
the Duchess of Devonshire and Lady Ran
dolph Churchill such distinction would hardly
be possible in the United States on the part
of women in the same general sphere Of
social lite.
