Facts of History Relating to the Demo-
cratic Party.

As a chapter of history, the following
from the Cincinnati Gazette is not only
interesting, bat instructive. It shows how
the Democratic party has always been
insincere on the tariff question, and how
all its aims have been to catch votes on
the pretense of inaugurating tariff re-
form. The facts of history III the article
| are recalled at this time with good deal
Of force:
The Democratic party in its national
convention, in its platforms and i'll its
legislation has never been sincere on the
/ tariff question. 1t was not sincere when
it elected Polk against Clay; it was not
sincere when it nominated Cass against
Taylor: it was not honest when it adopt-
ed the Walker platform; it was not sin
cere when it elected Pierce; it was dis
honest when it nominated Buchanan, the
representative of Pennsylvania quasi
protection, in Cincinnati. In not one of
those great contests did it represent what
the Courier-J0urnal claims to be free
trade principles. It's aim throughout was
to catch votes and thus carry elections
on the pretense of reforming the tariff
In the halls of legislation it was never
sincere. 1t had in Congress what was
known as the Randall wing of the Demo
cratic party. That was the power that
controlled legislation. Randall was pro-
tecfion Democrat and coupled with his
ability was honesty. He forced his party
to adopt his views. James Buchanan,
the last Democratic President, prior to
Cleveland, who was nominated as Il com
promise between divided factions, in a
message 70 Congress caused by the finan-
clal straits of his party, recommended in
creased duties on imports, thus conceding
the failure from a treasury standpoint
and the STANDPOINT of our industries of
the Walker tariff. The war caused Il
termination of all free-trade theories
1t then became a question OF life or death
to the nation. Money was needed to sus-
tain the government in its great
est emergency, and the Morrill, tar
if was adopted. The war ended, the ma
tional debt largely reduced, internal reve-
nue. taxes largely abolished, the Demo
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1894-08-08
Cleveland believes of material.

cratic party again comes to the front with
the exploded Walker theories and enters
upon new crusade in the line of free
trade. But in this it has never been
united and never sincere. In 1892, as
we have shown, it was Numerically op-
posed III its platform to the ideas previ-
ously expressed by Grover Cleveland and
embodied in a plank presented to and vot-
ed down at the Chicago convention. This
was a trick to defeat the nomination of
President Cleveland.
1.-The outcome of this is now found in
Congress- There are free traders there
and there are protectionists there. There
are radicals and there are conservatives.
There are time-servers and there are
cuckoos. But of the whole lot President
Cleveland stands forth as the most con-
SiStent.'

Republican Platforms and the Silver
Question.

The New York Press, in commencing
the platforms of the Republicans of Iowa,
Illinois and Wisconsin on the silver ques-
ton, says: 1T shows that the Repub-
lican party recognizes the necessity of the
use of both of the precious metals as the
basis of a sound and adequate monetary
system. 1t demonstrates that the Re
publican party is the champion of all
American industries. whether those in
dustries be located north or south, east
or west, and whether they are agricul-
tural, manufacturing or mining. 1t shows
that Repubicanism is the implacable foe
of British gold mOnOmetallism as we'll as
British free trade. The cause of bimetal
lism is the cause of the people, and that
cause will triumph with the complete re-
turn of the Republican party to power at
Washington"

TO PHOTOGRAPH METEORs.
An Elaborate Apparatus in the Yale
Observatory.

An Elaborate Apparatus in the Yale
Observatory.
A new astronomical instrument termed
a seXtuple Photographic telescope has just
been completed i'm Cleveland. and is
about to be shipped to New Haven Conn.
1t will be placed in one of the Yale OBJ
servatories, and though intended for gen
eral astronomical photography will begin
its picture taking with the appearance of
the August meteoric displays.
In certain respects it stands unique
among Photographic telescopes, and may
revolutionize the present system. 1t has
six cameras, instead of one, and together
they cover a field in the sky equal to that
which would be occupied by 2400 full
moons.
By its use on the meteors the astronO-
mers of Yale expect to develop new facts
relating to their height. They will place
single telescopes at distances of two miles
from the seXtuple instrument, and by
means of electrical connections will pho
tograph simultaneously. The plates will
then be compared and calculations will
be made with a view to establishing the
height of meteors.

A Russian doctor has been expert
menting to find how far some domestic
animals can count The intelligence of
the horse, as shown in mathematics,
seems to surpass that Of the cat or the
dog.
The doctor found q horse which was
able to count the mile posts along the
way. 1t had been trained by its master
to stop for feed whenever they had coy
cred 25 versts. One day they tried the
horse over a road where three false mile
posts had been put in between the real
ones, and, sure enough, the horse, de-
ceived by this trick, stopped for his oats
at the end of 20 versts. instead of going
the usual %.
The same horse was accustomed to
being fed every day at the stroke of
noon. The doctor observed that when
e the clock struck the horse would
stop and prick up his ears as if count
ing. If he heard IL strokes, he would
trot of contentedly to be fed, but If it
were fewer than 10 he would resignedly
60 ON working. The experiment was
made of striking 10 strokes at the wrong
time, whereupon the horse started for
his oats in spite Of the fact that he had
been fed only an hour before. st. Louis
