Working Girls and Their Place.

The working girls Of large cities form
a most striking. interesting and pictur-
esque part of the people. Driven by
natural causes into ~semi-public places,
they hold the points thus gained with
all simplicity. There is no pose, no
slorlfcation of their position. Neces-
sity has sent them out into the paths
they follow; by their own wits and
through their own efforts they hold the
right of way. In n sense, every mans
hand Is against them. They alone must
guard their own interests, defend their
individual rights.

The Democratic party Of Arkan-

re-aifirms its faith in and allegiance
to the time honored principles of
the national Democratic party as
expressed IN its platforms and rati-

the history of the government, In
addition thereto it makes the fol-
lowing specific declarations;
We insist upon strict compli-
ance with the repeated declara-
tions of the party in favor of a tar
if for revenue only, to the end that
the protection favored by the Re-
publican party and crystalized in
the infamous determinations of the
Mckinley bill, shall be anuulled and
a fair competition in the markets
of the world shall be opened to the
producers of all classes in the Uni
ted States, and fair exchange for
our surplus products thereby secur-
ed.
To the end that taxation may be
distributed on an equitable basis
and accumulated property pay its
fair share of the expenses of the
government, which have for so long
a time been borne by the consump-
tion of the people, We favor an
income tax,
We still consider the act of 1873.
whereby silver was demonetized, as
the greatest legislative crime of the
century, and demand the free and
unlimited coinage Of both silver
and gold at a ratio of sixteen to
one as it then existed.
We believe the constitutional
power to borrow money should be
exercised by Congress only in the
event OF great emergencies when
the power to levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
ments of the occasion cannot be en-
forced without manifest oppression
of the people. Therefore we are
opposed to the issue of bonds in
time of peace.
We congratulate the Democratic
party and the people upon the re-
