are not likely to be detected by
ordinary readers. 1t is said that
the Chinese language contains 214

and into the 10000 of the diction-

spaces, each containing a type,
which is word by itself. The

The Mission of Democracy,


There was never a time when tbe
Democratic party was in a position
to more scceptably serve the coun-
try than at present. The triumph
of its enemies has only made more
apparent the necessity of its restor-
alton to power. Its mission is to
restore constitutional government;
to pull down monopolies; to equal
ize opportunity between man and
man, and to restore free trade wher-
ever the flag waves over free soil.
On such platform there. is room
for every Democrat in the Union,
and for half the Republicans.
