The great principles which underlie and are the foundation of the democratic party, and which to-day are moving them to act in the defense of thelaborer,the mechanic, and the farmer.are so little understood that in this article we shall endeavor to make it so plain, and to bring it right at home so forcibly, that he who reads cannot help but understand them, and to understand them will be but to admire them. First was the enunciating of that great principle, by the father of democracy, that all men are born equal and entitled to life, liberty and equal chances in the pursuit of wealth and happiness. Thus democracy is opposed to aristocracy in every form, and to every measure which may tend to give one class the advantage over another. It considers all occupations,which do not Infringe upon the rights or disturb the peace and happi ness of another, as honorable and just, and entitled to the same consideration by gov ernment. It favors the raising of money necessary for governmental expenses, a6 far as possible, from the luxuries and not from the necessaries. Hence, it is the friend of the poor. It is these noble principles which are moving democracy ,at the present lime, to wards securing a reduction of the burdens of the masses, which we will now clearly demonstrate by the following figures. In this table we will show what a farmer with a family of six husband, wife, two sons and two daughters has to pay every year into the government, or to manufacturers. If he buys imported articles the tax goes to government. If he buys domestic articles the manufacturers receive it. We will give below the articles which the farmer and his family will be compelled to have, show ing the tariff which now exists on each and the reduction as proposed by that demo cratic measure known as the Mills bill. With few exceptions all of the foregoing articles will be required each year : to 2 3 a s 23 TO Ov o Cfi S Cfl N " o - r : s e e ft P 0 p . I fir? i iff ah ! 3 ; 13.

The majority of the goods ruumerated are manufactured in this country, hence nearly all of this $419.66 goes into the pockets of the man 11 facturers as clear profit, because the price of goods here arc kept up to the tariff point. Even under this enormous tariff some kind of goods are manufactured in other coun tries, brought here and sold at a profit. "Oh !'' but the protectionists say "it costs more to manufacture goods here because we like to pay more for labor," which is all a huge farce, as the Commuter will fully show at some future time, as we can obtain all the statistics. Now, we know by accurate reports that In England it costs just 9 per cent, of the value of manufactured goods to manufact ure them; but we will be liberal and sup pose it costs 15 percent, here. We then have 6 per cent, to deduct from the $4 19.66 which will leave $394.48, which each farm er pays to manufacturers when he purchas es $750 worth of goods. If they can stand that amount of tax to enrich one cUss, be idc their country and territorial tax, and wants to, all well and good. The Mills bill, as heretofore said, propos es to reduce this burden $135.93, yet our leading republican journals says It ought not to be done. Why? Because it is a dem ocratic measure and "is partial ;" but they advocate for free whisky and tobacco. We do not claim, by any means, that the Mills bill is all we would like to have it, but It is in the right direction. We should like to see the tax reduced to the lowest possible amount commensurate with the needs of our government, to maintain It in its proper re lations with all the nations of the world, and tills raised, as far as possible from the lux uries of life and not from the ncceessities. Commoner, 1 The very fa;t that republican leaders find It necessary to stake Harrison's elec tion upon the fact that he is the 6on of a man whose father, forty-seven yeais ago, occupied the presidential chair thirty days is very conclusive that they find yery little in him now to elicit support from the great mass of the people. "Cheap coats make cheap men." These are Gen. Harrison's words. Quite epigram matic, aren't they ? But what sort of men docs cheap whiskey make? We can sell vou a ticket to anv point in the East oyer tho famoas Canadian Pacific railway from five to ten dollars cheaper than any other roan, call ana see us.
