THE DEMOCRATIC IDEA.

1--WE denounce Republican protec-
ton as fraud, taxing the labor of
the great majority Of the people for
the benefit of the few. We declare it
to be fundamental principle of the
Democratic party that the federal
government has no power TO impose
and collect tariff duties except for the
purposes of revenue only, and we de-
mand that the collection of such
taxes shall be limited to the necessi-
ties of the government when honestly
and ecomically administerered."-N
tional Democratic Platform.
just as soon as the Democrats get
the power they win wipe out the afro
cious Republican sugar bounty sys-
tenn and restore the sugar duties. In
stead Of paying millions of bounty
out of the treasury to sugar planters,
We will re-establish the revenue tariff
on sugar.-Henry Watterson.
We mean to rip up, exterminate,
abolish, annihilate, and in the foulest
ignominy and disgrace, every vestige
Of the fraud called protection, wher-
over we can find it, and, as fast as
the needs of the government, in
creased tenfold by the Republican
party, will permit. Sect = Henry

terry to see the comrades of the Grand Army
do honor TO the patriotic dead. Many OF
the men who fought for the Union sleep in
the cemetery. and hundreds went there to
witness the ceremonies. Miss Spaven and
her companion secured place beside an
obelisk-lke monument and listened 10 the
praises of the dead. At the base OF the
monument several children sat prattling
and oblivicus to everything save the wreaths
of wild daisies they were stringing. There
was cry OF horror, and glaneing up the
girl saw the obelisk slowly topping over.

you will be killed.
With all her heroic instincts aroused, she
stretched out her arms and sought to keep
the granite block from tumbling, and the
children rushed of screaming. The brave
girl who had resisted the falling monument
with all her strength stumbled and fell be-
meath 1t.
Her young arms were no match for the
heavy granite block, but undou btedIy she
broke the fall in way that gave time to the
children to make good their escape. The
screams of Miss Talbot brought dozens to
