Circular ''to the Democratic Party Widely Distributed-Hits EtRe-
 publican Graft.''

New Haven. Oct. 5.-An unique and rather startling circular is being dis tributed through the city by D. Cady Eaton, professor emeritus of the Yale Art School, declaring that the >Repub- lican rule of this country is tending rapidly toward the disruption of the union into independent republics. "A new secession" he declares mot han dicapped this time by slavery, may be the only way for the people to regain their liberties and to terminate the rule of graft He says further that the people are 'tired of centra1ization, imperialism, world power, colonization and everything of the sort that is op- posed to the principles declared by the people at the beginning of the repub- lic.' The paper is creating intense interest wherever seen, and is widely distributed in the center of the city, at the clubs, etc.
 The circular reads as follows:
 TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. States are tired of a central govern rnent which they created for their mu- tual benefit and protection, and which now deprives them of their liberties and exposes them to plunder.
 The people of the several sovereign States are tired of being taxed to death by the central government on every thing they. eat. drink. wear, and need for fuel and light, to make still richer the tariff millionaires of the party in power.
 States are tired of paying enormous sums towards the support of the ever increasing number of the pensioners of the central government. They claim isna,t pride and gratitude in the huge political machine, they have never sur rendered the sovereign right, power and privilege of exercising these senti- n aoanrd9nan with Their sense of justice and their own notions of economy. They assert that the pen sion~ laws in existence are unconstitu- tional, and that they foster injurious form of government.
 The people of the several sovereign States are tired of the oppression of so-called trusts; another name for mo- nOpOlieS. They demand their suppress sion and insist that hereafter corpora tionS be confined to the States creating them and be held subject to State laws, thus avoiding central commissions with despotic powers with which they are threatened.
 The people of the several sovereign States, are tired of a financial system, imposed by the central government, which deprives them of the control of their own finances, puts money of the country into the hands of a single in dividual to be moved and distributed as he pleases. and ignores the differ ences in values which necessarily exist III a. country or Such vast extent, ana of such geographical, climatic and az r1cultural extremes. The whole sys- tenn is based on a law which, introduc- ed as a tax, is not a tax as itayields no revenue; but is an unconstitutional prohibition. Accepted at the time it was passed as a war measure. it has been allowed to subsist, and has never been brought before the Supreme court Some change should be effected where by laws may be declared unconstitu- tionaI before they have grown into the life of the nation and large in terests have become involved in their retention.
 The people of the several sovereign States are tired of standardization, inn peria1ism, world power, colonization and everything of the sort that is op- posed to the-princip1es declared by them at the beginning of the republic; equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
 States are determined that the increa SC in the value of their possessions shall no longer be illegally def1ected to the pockets of individuals, but shall be distributed, as it should be in a, repub- lie, in accordance with sound princf- pies of political economy.
 The people of the several sovereign States are tired of the interjection of personal ambitions and policies into their affairs. They are thereby re- minded of the conditions which pre- ceded the destruction of the Roman republic and led to the establishment of the Roman empire. Though the establishment of an empire in this may not be conceivable, the of the union into indepen- dent republics is conceivable, possible and to be feared, if there be no great changes at Washington. A new se- cession, not handicapped this time by slavery. may be the only way for the people to regain their liberties and to terminate the rule of graft. x AMENDMENTS TOI

 Could language be plainer? Amend ments govern as do codicils in wills
