Tariff Rates- The f aimer should recollect on election day that a revision of the tariff is one of the main issues cf the present campaign. That the Democratic party nre pledged to such a revision and re duction of the tariff laws, as shall ad- iiit the necessaries of life as rearlv free of duty as is consistent to raise a revenue sufficient to defray the current expenses of. the Government economi cally administered, leaving the heavies burdens to fall on such luxuries as aie not ahstlaUly necessary for the peace ful eniovn:ent and haniu.ess of the -working clasfes cf our people. It has ever been the'tratlition of the Democratic mrtv when in power to Am collect no more tariff duty than ' - . A .1 absolutely required to detray t.ie run- iiincr exnenses of the government. So pronounced was this tradition of the Democratic arty, that when General Jackson, during his administration found a surplus revenue collected in the treasury vaults, he not only ad ' vised a reduction of the duties, but that the surplus which had already ac cumulated be distributed to the several States. The Republican party are pledged o maintain the present high protective tuift". which has already, in a great measure, destroyed our commercial re lations with the most favored nations of Europe, and virtually closed their ports against the products of our soil, as it has closed our pores against maay cf their necessary productions. Tho . w present tariff notwithstanding tbs crease 1 expense, waste and peculation o ' gov ru mental i ffdirs,bas g thered up the currency of the country, until to day there is not money enough in cir- c hit ion to transact the daily routine o: business, while thousands of tons of the precious metal? are stored iu government vaults. the So uriiust and discriminating has men the tarin svstem not only to our , farming community, but . to other nations witlr whom we trade, that thev are iorceu to retaliatory measures, and England to-day is enco and stimulating other countries to pro duco her brradstuffs, while Germany absolute!, refuses lo eat our beef or r pork. These are the reasons why the mer ' .chant cannot pay vou a remuneiative price for your grain: A ship-master who goes from Liverpool to Sidney, with a full cargo of merchandise, can carryback to England a full load of , wheat for just one-half the price ho is forced to charge the American farmer for carrying ' his grain to the same ..market, whpn forced to sail his ship to our ports under ballast. The' Austra lian farmer has the advantage of price of just one-half the rate of tonnage over the American wheat grower, as his profit on the production of his soil. Resides, he gets his goods, , wares and , machinery free cf duty, and ac greatly reduced prices which go far toward in- , creasing his profit. Ilaixjo aa a Know-o thing. A subscriber writes the E.xaminpr to know what proof it has that Mr. Ijlaine was formerly a Know-nothing, jto which it replies. lie wes editor of the Kennebec Journal from 1852 to 1857, inclusive. That paper wa3 a bitter and uncompromising advocate during those yers of native American principles. It denounced foreigners, r called them "thieves and felons," "the . offscouring of Europe" and similar , epithets. If Mr. Blaine was not a , Know-nothing, his paper was, and an , editor is presumed to be of the same faith that he preaches, and Mr. Blaine preaches Know-nothingism. Notwith standing all this, Republican papers tell us that Blaino wiU corral the Irish . vote. It is not likely that many for eigners will voto for a man who hates , and denounces them. Others may talk of there lieing no use of an organization of the Democracy of Oregon, bat the chairman, at;Jeast, '.should give orders for a. contest : One thing 13 certain, either Mr. Jeffreys should let the public know that he is chairman of the Oregon Democracy or else resign. A reward should be offered for the Democratic party in Oregon. It either strayed, lost or stolen, 13 jBlaine's Foreign Policy. ' "We hav looked long and earnestly i , . at the public prints aud carefully studied out Republican exchanges to ; . . o find out; what is intended by Blaine's "foreign policy." We have asked our Republican contemporaries for an ex- planaticn, but have been unable to learn anything definite as to what they mean by the stereotyped phrase which is going their rounds of "Blaine's vig orous foreign policy." It is used in so many contradictory articles. tht from many or tue leading editorials under the above caption, one might infer that he intends to wage war upon England, liberate Ireland, force Germany to cat our pork, dam up the mouth of the Nile, blockade the passage of the Black hea, and parcel out all Europe to his retainers. But when one finds them selves electrified with the boldness of his designs and ready to ioiu the mar- tial crusaders against the Germans and English, we find all our military ardor damped by the announcement of Black Jack the virtual mouth-piece of the jfiumed .ivmgut. mat we are to cut off all foreign tradc.stop the emigration to our shores and withdraw within our own domain and shut ourselves up like a cloister, independent of tho outside world. Take either horn of the dilemma and this vigorous foreign policy of Blaine's is different from the broad and literal sratesman-like policy always acted upon by the Democratic party, first in augurated bv Jefferson, enlarged and improved upon by Monroe and Jack son. Jefferson, in his second inaugural ad. dress, delivered on the 4th of March, 1805, gave expression to this beautiful sentiment : "In the transaction of your fore-gn affaire, we have endeavored to cultivate the friendship of all nations, and es pccialiy 01 those wrtii winch we nave the most important relations. We havo donethem justicejon all occasions, favored where favor was lawful, and cherished mutual interests and inter course on fair and equal terms. We are hrmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations, as with individuals, our interests soundly calculated, will ever be found insepa rable from our moral duties; and his tory, bears witness to the fact, that a just nation is trusted on its word, when recourse is had to armaments, and wars to bridle others," A Good Thinsra We have read many Republican comments upon Governor Cleveland s letter of acceptance. It is a compli ment to their intelligence and unusual development or iairness to presume that they have read it all. Charity constrains us to grant it so. Some complain thit it is too short well, that is a good sign. We never cher ished and fondled a real good iced julep or sherry cobbler in hot weather; but what we thought the straw was too short, or the bottom of the glass too near the top. Even life is short, but very dear, and sweeter still to those most happily situated. We sometimes think that we cannot get too much of a good thing. At all events have tried and so far failed. When compelled to let go on something particularly palat able, we have oft times felt as seem ingly did the lamented Gray : 'For who to dumb foretfulness 4 prey, This pleasing, anxious being e'er resigned, Left the warm precincts of the living day, Norcastone lonaing.lingeriuglook behind.' So with the Republican journals in leaving Cleveland's letter; they read it, they like it, and mourn because there was not more to read. But to our Jiighjy perfumed sable brethren, do not despair. We will all hear from the young and gallant leader next March. His inaugural will be brief, but most excellent, and then we will hear from him at proper intervals until the close of his great, successful unci happy administration. Truly, there is a good time coming, and Republicans, as well as we old patriot Democrats, may rejoice therein.

DiSMGUSATIG PLATP02X The Democrats party of the Union, through Its representatives in National Convention assembled, recognizes that a the nation grows older new issues are boru of tirae-and progress, and old issues perish, but the f undamental principles of Democracy, approved by the united voice of the people, remain, and w ill ever remain, as the best and only security for the con muante offiee government, ine preservation 01 personal rights, the equality of all citizens before the ; law. the reserved rights of the states, ami tne supre macy of the Federal Government within the limits ol the Constitution, will ever form the true basis of our " lilierties, and can never be surrendered without de stroying that balance of rights and powers which en ables a continent to be develoed in peace and soci-il order to be maintained by means of local gel. -government. lint it is ini!is;)ensab!e, for the practical applica tion and enforcement ot these lu-.Maineiitai prin ciple, that, tlie Government should not always be controlled by one political party. A frequent change of administration is as necessary as tne constant re currence to the popular will; otherwise, abuses grow, and the Government, instead of being carried on for the general welfare, becomes an instrumentality for im posing heavy burdens on the many, who are governed for the benefit of the few who govern. Public ser vants thus become arbitrary rulers. This is now the condition of the country. Hence a change is demanded. Tha Republican party, bo tar as principle is coucerned, is a remiiiS'-tiiee; in practice, it is an organiza tion for enriching those who control its ma chinerv. The frauds and jobbery which have been brought to light in every deprtutent of the Govern ment are suftioient to have Killed for reform within tin Republican party; yet -those in authority, made reckless bv the long possession of power, have sue- cumbert to its coriuiitisisc influence, and have placed in nomination a ticket against which the independent portion of the party are in open revolt, ihcrefore a change is demanded. Such a change was alike neces sity in 1370, but the will of the people was then de feated by a ftViud, whiidi can never be forgotten nor condoned, gain ir' 1830 the cha nge demanded by the people was uefe.i.ted by the lavish use ot money. contributed by unscrupulous contractors and shame less jobbers, who had bargained for uiilawiul profits, or for high othce. The Republican party, during its legal, its stolen, and its bought tenures of ivwer, has steadily decayed in moral character and political capacity. Its platform promises arc now a list of its past failures, it demands tha restoration of our navy; it h is squandered hundreds of millions to cre ate a navy that does not exist It calls upon l5ongress to remove the burdens under w hich American slapping has been depressed; it imposed and has continued those bnrdens. It professes the policy of reserving the publiu lands for small holding by actual settlers. It has given away the peoples' heritage till now a few railroads. and non-resident aliens, individual and corporate, pos sess a larger area than that of ail our farms between the seas. It professes a preference for free institu tions; it organized and tried to legalize a control of State elections by federal troop3. It professes a de sire to elevate labor; it has subjected American work ingmen to the competition of convict and imported contract labor. It professes gratitude to all who were disabled or died in the war, leaving widows and orphans; it left to a Democratic House of Represen tatives the tfrst effort to equalize both bounties a-'d pension?. It proffere a pledge to correct the irregu larities of our tariff; it created and has continued them. Its own tariff commission enfessed the need of more than 20 per cent, reduction; its Congress gave a reduction ft less than 4 per cent. It professes the protection of American manufacturers; it has sub jected them to an increasing flood of manufactured goods, and a hopeless eompet tion with manufactur ing nations, not one of which taxes raw material. It professes to protect all American industries; it has impoverished many to subsidize a few. It professes the protection of American labor; it ha.s depleted the returns of American agriculture, an industry followed by half our people. It professes the equality of til men before the law. Attempting to fix the s.ntus of colored citizens, the acts of lis Congress were overset by the decisions of its courts. It "accapts anew the duty of leading in the work of progress and reform;" its caught criminals are permitted to eseaje through contrived delaj s or actual connivance in the prose cution. Honeycombed with corruption, outbreaking exposures no longer &noeK its moral sense, its hon est members, its indepedent journals, no longer main tain a successful contest for authority in its counsels or a veto upon bad r.ominatons. That change is nec essarily proved by an existing surplus of more than 100,000,000, which lias yearly been collected from a suffeiing people. Unnecessary taxation i3 unjust taxation. Wo denounce the Republican pa: ty for having failed to relieve the people from crushing war taxes which have paralyzed business, crippled industry and de prived Ubor of employment and of jnst reward. Tha liemocracy pledges itself to purify the admin istration from corruption, to restore econ omy, to revive respect for law and to re duce taxation to the lowest limitconsistent with a due regard to the preservation of the faith of the nation, to its creditors and pensioners; knowing full well, however, that legislation affecting the occupations of the people should be cautious and conser vative in method, not iu advance of public opinion, but responsive o its demands, the Demo cratic party is pledged to revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all interests; but in making a reduction in taxes, it is not proposed to injure any domestic indus tries but rather to promote their healthy growth. From the foundation of this Government tho taxes collected at the Custom house have been the chief source of Federal revenue. Such they must continue to be. Moreover, many industries have come to rely upon legislation lor a succcs-tni continuance, so that any change ( law must ba at c cry step regardful of labor and capital thus involved. The process of reform must be subject in its execution to this plain dictate of justice All taxation shall be limited to the re quirenieiits of an economical Government. The necessary reduction m taxation can and must Vte af fected without depriving American labor of the abil ty to compete successfully with foreign labor, and without imposing lower rates of duty than will bo amole to cover any increased cost of production which may exut in consequence of the higher rate of wages prevailing hi this country. Sufficient revenue to pay an ttje expenses oj tna reuerai uoveriiinent econom ically adnutiistcred, including pensions, interest and principal of tha public debt, cm be got under our present system of taxation from Custoit -house taxes on fewer imported articles, bearing the.heaviest on articles of luxury and bearing lightest oil articles of necessity. We therefore denounce the abuses of the existing tarilf and subject to preceedinglimitation, we demand that Federal taxation shall be exclusively for public purposes, and sh.sll not exceed the needs of the government economically administered. The system of direct tix aim,' known as the "internal revenue," is a warlax,and so long as the law continues the money received therefrom should be sacrcdlv devoted to the relief of tbc people from remaining burdens of the war, and be inade a fund to defray the expense of the care and comfort of worthy soldiers, disabled in the line of duty in the wars of the Republic, fviid for the payment of such pensions a Congress may from time to time grant to such soldiers a like fund for tho sailors having been already provided and any sur plus should be paid into the treasury. We favor an American continental policy, based upon more intimate commercial and political relations with the fifteen sister Republics of North, Central and South America, but entangling alliances with none. We believe iu honest money the gild and silver coinage of theconstititution and acirculating medium convertible into such money without loss. Asserting the equality of all men before the law we hold that it is the duty of the Government, in dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all citizens, of whatever nativity, race, col or or persuasion, religious or political. We believe in a free ballot and a fair count, and we recall to the memory of the people the noble struggle of the Democrats in the Forty-fifth and For-tv-sixth Congresses, by which a reluctant Republican op)xsition was compelled to assent to legislation making everywhere illegal the presence of troops at the polls the conclusive proof that a Democratic administration will preserve liberty with order. The selection of Federal officers for the Territories should be restricted to cit izens previously resident thereof. We oppose sumptuary laws, which vex the citizens and iutefcro with individual liberty. We favor an honest civil service reform in compen? sation of all United States offices by fixed salaries, tho sepai-ati-m of Church and State, und ihe diffusion of free education by coinm n schools, so thatevtrv child in the bind may be taught the rights and duties of citizenship. While we favor all legislation which will tnd to the equitable distribution of property, to the preven tion of monopoly, and to the strict enforcement of individual rights against corporate abuse, we hold that the welfare of society depends on a scrupulous regard for the rights of property as defli.ed by law. We believe that labor is best rewarded where it is freest an.', most enlightened. It should be fostvred and cherished. We favor the repeal of all the laws restraining the free nttion of labor, and the enact ment of laws by which labor organizations may lie increased, and of all such legislation as will tend to enlighten the people as to the true relations of cap ital and labor. We believe that the public lands ought, as far as possible, to be kept as homesteads for actual settlers; that all unearned lands heretofore iiuprovidently granted to railroad corporations by the Republican party should be restored to the public domain, and no more grants shall be made to corporations, or be al lowed to fall into the ownership of alien absentees. We are onjMised lo all propositions which, upon any pretext, would convert the general Government into a machine for the collection of taxes to be distribute.! among the States or citizftns thereof. In reaffirming the declaration of the Democratic platform of 1SJ6 that "the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, and sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes ours the land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in the Democratic faith,', we nevertheless do not sanc tion the importation of foreign labor, or the admission of servile races unfiled bv habits, training, religion or kindred for absorption into the great body of our peo ple, or to the citizenship which our laws confer. American civilization demands that against the immi gration or importat ion of Mongolians to these shores our gates should be closed. The Democratic j-arty insists that it is the duty of the Government to protect with equal fidelity and - vigilance the rights of itscitizens, native or naturalized, at home and abroad; and to the end that this protection may be assured, United States papers of naturalization issued by Courts of competent jurisdiction, must be respected by the executive and legislative departments of our own Government, aud by aH foreign powers. It is an imperative duty of this Government to efficiently protect all the rights of persons and the property of every American citizen in foreign lands, and demand and enforce full reparation for any invasion thereof. A.n American citizen is only responsible to his own Government for any actdont in his country, or under her Hag and law, only to be tried therefor on her g -P, and according to her laws. No power exists in this government to exnatriate an American citizen, to be tried iu any foreign land for any such set. This country "has never had any well-defined and exe cuted foreign policysave under a Democratic adminis tration; that policy has ever been, in regard to for eign nations, so long as they do no set detrimental to ectetCiaM&ftw 'fNni u- 1 n inn. the Interests of the country or hurtful to our cititens, to let them alone. That as the result of this policy we recall the acquisition of Lou isiana, Florida, California aud of the adjacent Mexican territory by purchase alone, and con trast these grand acquisitions of Democratic statesman ship with the purchase of Alaska the sole fruit of Republican administration" of nearly a quarter of a century. ' The General Government should owe 'or and improve the Mis3issppi river and other great water ways of the Rupublic, so as to secure lor uie nver.or utates easy and cheap transportation to uae-water. Under a loner neriod of Democntic rule and policy our merchant marine was fast overtaking, and on the point of outstripping, that of Great Britain. Under "iO years of Republican rule and policy our commerce has been left to British bottoms and almost lias the Ameri can flag been swept off the high seas, instead oi the Republican party s British policy, we demand for the people of the United States an American policy. Under Democratic rule and policy our uierenams auu sailors flying the stars and stripes in every port, suc cessfully searched out a market lor tne vaiiea yio- Hiift of Amwrirein industry. Under a quarter of a century of Republican rule desnite our manifest advantages over all other nations in high-paid labor, favorable climates and teemimr soils despite the freedom of trade mong all these United States, despite their lat.lim hv tha foremost races of men-and an an nual immigration of the young, thrifty and adventur .in it all nations- rio-nnto onr freedom here from in herited burdens of life and indutries in the old world monarchic?, their costly war navies, their vast tax consuming non-producing standing armies, despite 20 j ears of ieace, that Republican rule and olicy have jiir.un.rnil to surrender to Great Britain, along with mir S.nimnr t.h font.rol of the markets of the world. Instead of the Renublican party 's British policy , t, iifiiimn.i in behalf nf the American Democracy, an American policy; instead of the Republican party's discredited scheme and false pretense of friendship to American laber, expressed by imposing taxes, we ue miiiiil iii hehaif of tha Democracy, freedom for Amer ican labor, by reducing taxes to the end that these United States may eomiwte with unhindered powers for primacy among nations in all the arts of peace anii fruits of lihprLv. With profound regret we have been apprised by the venerable statesman, through whose person was sirura thut blow at the vital nrincinle of toe republic ac quiescence in the will of th3 majority that he can notnermit us airaiu to Place in his nitidis ti.e leader ship of the Democratic host, for tho .;c;i that the ai-hicvemciits of reform in the admin'rU a' ('i of the federal Government is an undertaking now hovy for his age and failing strength. - Rejoicing th.t hi life has been prolonged until the general judgment oi our fellow countrymen is united in the wish that the wrong were righted in his person for the Democracy of the United States, we offer to him in his withdraw al from those cares not only our resiieeted sympathy and esteem, but also that best homage of freeman, the pledge of our devotion to the principles and the cause now niseperable m the history or this itepuouc fr.im the, l.ihors s.nd namn of Samuel J.

EWith this statement of the hones, principles and purposes of the Democratic party, the great issue of reform and change in administration is submitted to the people in calm confidence, that the popular voice will nronOunce in favor of new men. and new and more favorable conditions for the growth of industry, t.h pvt.onsion ot trade, the employment and due re ward of labor and of capital, and the general welfare of the country.
