The State AUDITORS Letter.

The following letter, addressed
by the Auditor to all sheriffs, banks
and those who buy State claims, is
of special interest and importance:
"Dear Sir:-The Commissioners
of Internal Revenue holds that the
certificates to the assignment of fee
bills of witnesses and jurors should
be accompanied by ten cent rev.
enue stamp, and that it is the duty
of this department to see that this
stamp is attached before the same
are honored by us. In all cases,
therefore, where the assignment is
acknowledged, ten cent revenue
stamp must be attached to the GER
tificate. The use Of this stamp may
be avoided by having the assign
ment Witnessed by two witnesses
who should sign their names as wit
nesses. We would suggest, there
fore, that in the future the certifi-
cate of acknowledgement ne ignor-
ed, and that all persons buying
State claims will be careful to have
the assignment properly witnessed,
if they desire to avoid the payment
of this tax
Very truly yours,
l.. Nj. LA TOILETTE, Auditor. "

The Southern States.

The Southern delegations In he
publican national conventions have
long been stencil in the nostrils
of the nation. True, thare are hon
orable exceptions, but the rule has
been to find the South represented
by motley crew of political adven-
turers, black and white, often ready
to sell their votes in the open mark
ct and always dealing solely for
personal profit in cash or prospec-
tive Observation-Disclosures
Times.
The Southern Democrats are just
the opposite in character. They
can neither be bought, scared nor
bribed. A Southern Democrat can
always be relied on for honesty, in
tegrity and truthfulness.
So long as the Southern States
are under control of the Democrats
they are in good hands, but woe be
the day when any one of them
should go into the hands of the
,"motley crew"
There are other places, though,
besides in the Southern States that
delegations in Republican conven-
tons are ready to sell their votes
in the market. You do not need
to go into Dixie Land to witness
the auction. Some Democratic p
papers, for some reason p, some
years, will advocate the interest of
the representatives of certain mon
led or cooperative interests against
the Democrats, and their habita-
ton is north of the line.

DECEMBER Is, 1899.
Democracy.

Huntington Item.
AS we understand it, is emphati-
cally a government "of the people,
for the people, and by the people"
1t is the life principle of the gov
eminent under which we live, and
without it republican form ofgoy-
eminent cannot exist in any coun-
try, nor among any people. Every
thing opposed to this principle
partakes of aristocraoy, monarchy
or despotism, and should not be
tolerated.
To make the Democratic party
strong and invinoible should be
the aim and interest of every voter.
To make it triumphant at the polls
in every contest, it is only necessary
that representative men shall be
placed on the ticket, and union,
harmony and concert of action
among the people. So secure this
latter, Democratic principles, such
as were inoulcated by Jefferson
and jackson, must be infused into
the minds of the people through
proper channels.
The Democratic party has always
been strong party when arrayed
in it's strength against it's common
foe, and when battle has been lost
it has been through the supineness,
the lethargy, or shameful betray-
al by those who, unfortunately,
were placed at the head of it's ooun-
oils. The party must stand shout
der to shoulder, united and not di-
vided. The truth of the Kentucky
motto must be indelibly impressed
upon the minds of all, and no effort
should be spared to rally every man
to the rescue of the government
from the hands of the spoilers.
This course shall be pursued Ivy
this paper during the national cam
paign of next year, and if it's feeble
efforts shall contribute to the sue
CESS of the Democratic party, we
shall be content. Being Demo
crat of the old school, we take no
stock in any dogma or doctrine
that does not come squarely up to
the standard of Right and Justice.
We believe the right to be gener-
ally expedient, and that no perma-
nent good has ever yet resulted to
the Democracy from yielding prin-
oiple for compromise, or from fus-
ion with antagonisms that cannot
be reconoiled with reason and COM
mon sense.

Vic Mother of Trusts.

That the tariff by shielding our
manufacturers from foreign compe-
tition, makes it easy to them to
combine, to restrict production,
and to fix prices-up to the tariff
limit-ought to be evident to every
intelligent man. 1t ought also to
be evident to all here that the
greatest objection to trusts is due
to their ability to raise prices,
above normal, profit-producing
point. That the trusts raise prices,
whenever possible, to what they
consider the NAHUM profit point
is certain. 1t is asserted by the
trusts advocates that trusts can
produce more cheaply than indi-
vidual firms, and that they have
lowered prices. 1t may be, and
probably is true that trusts usually
produce cheaper; but it is certainly
not true that they have lowered
prices.
Out of foul hundred trusts which
/ have enumerated I do not believe
that ten have lowered prices. In
fact, I know of none except one or
two; and these have deprecated
the quality of their product. In
one such case the prices are held
30 high that there are heavy i'm
ports of competing goods, although
there is duty on them of nearly
100 per cent. In nine cases out of
ten, trusts have raised prices soften
more than 5Oper cent. That much
of the present rise in prices is due
to the general economic conditions
is probably true. On the other
hand, it is just as true that, had
there been no tariff duties, the rise
in prices would neither have been
30 general nor SO great. The trusts
have taken full advantage of the
powers and special privileges de-
rived from the tariff partner-the
government. Congress should
speedily dissolve this Ubiquitous
partnership.-Byron w. Holt.

Imagine a block of solid gold,
III feet square at the baseand liz
feet high; it's weight, in round
number, 1894 tons, or 889,O853
pounds. This is the amount of
gold which it took to support the
army during the past fiscal year.
The amount in coined dollars was
$92,OOO,OOO.
The translation into cubic gold
was made by ex. Director and Pres
emit Examiner of the Mint, Preston,
and does not profess to be fraction
ally correct. Using the same fig
ures, any one who is interested in
making more realistic the profess.
ional figures of the annual reports,
may discover that the total amount
of money appropriated by Congress
at it's last session (aggregating
about 81 ,OOO,OOOOOO) would make
cubic block of gold 263 #. square.
Its weight would be 1 ,941 tons. If
set in an ordinary street there would
scarcely be room for teams to drive
around it, and the top of it would
reach to the middle of the third

After all, a millionaire hasn't
very much gold. 1t would only
make block whose length, breadth

age of coffee for cents worth at least
80 cents to one who can appreciate the
price and the coffee. Our new line
of dress goods are unquestionably the
the finest assortment you ever beheld
in the shape of California dried evapo-
rated peaches, apples, prunes and rails
ms. Then, our balbrigans, you can
save, at least we think, 5Oper cent. i'll
the style of fancy and toilet soaps of
all kinds and patterns. And our stock
