THE DAILY DEMOCRAT.
TUE PRINCIPLE IS THE SAME.
PARTY DUTY.
The time It coming on apace when the
party managen of the county will take the
preliminary strpt for calling party con
vendor to nominate candidates for the
varloui county officers. While the matter
of making such nomination! docs not at
tract the serious attention of a great many
Voters, yet it 19 a subject in which all citi
zens and taxpayers should take Jeep con
cern. It is a matter of grave Impoitance
that local affairs should bo carefully ad
ministered. County affairs more nearly
concern us than national or state affairs.
Competency and honssty are qualifications
that should be possessed by every county
ollicitl. To the democrats, then, we feel
constrained to say, that they should exer
cise unusal care ix the selections of can
didates. Fitness for the office will be de
manded by the people before they will
consent to support a candidate. The vest
pocket voters, so far as county ofncia'.s are
concerned, are increasing in numbers rap
Idly from year to year and it behooves
' democrats to keep an alert eye on the best
interest of the people. The party In times
past has proven itself to be the party of the
people. Foryears it has presented a solid
front acainst the tyiannous exactio.is and
encroachments of monopolistic power. It
has stood as a solid phalanx for the pro
motion and perpetuation of the doctilne of
the greatest good for the greatest number
,thnt ours is a government in which e.
Conors in the public expense should be
rip i. I adhered to. Let it be understood
-that public office is a public trust to be ad
ministered In the interest of and for the
benefit of the people. Then let candidates
be nominated who in all respects fill up the
measure of these requirements and their
calling and election will be made sure.
To secure the nomination of such candi
dates It will only be necessary for the denv
Ocrats of each precinct to elect for dele.
gates men who are well known for their
Integrity and good judgement, democrats
who are not pledged to 6ecure the nomi
nation, of some particular candidate a-
against the wishes of the people. Fair
dealing and good faith should character
ize party management from the call for
primaries to the close of the polls. The
party would thus place itself on so eleva
ted a plane as to com mand the respect of
both friends and political opponents. A
party to secure the popular approval of
people must show Itself worthy of it. It
would conduce largely to the benefit of the
party and the candidates which the party's
Convention shall name, were the voters in
each precinct to get together In primary
meeting and elect unpledged delegates,
men of integrity, men who thir.k the In
terest of the public are paramount to the
interest of any candidate, and then let these
delegates meet In county convention and
nominate a ticket for the whole people,
being governed In the selection by the Jef
fersonian test of "Ishehonest?" "Ishecom.
Detent?" Such a course will lead to an old
time complete victory .
A Kansas farmer sold a beef animal to a
butcher for a cents a pound, and agreed to
take a quarter ef it for his own use. The
butcher charged him regular rates for the beef,
and when a settlement was had the fanner
was found indebted to him in the sum of $2.
Thi' was not caused by the Republican party
and the "robber tariff." Mountaineer. The
principle is however much the same. The
laboring man who is a consumer and not a pro
ducer has been told for these many years
that the tariff is imposed on foreign importa
tions in order to render nugatory the foreign
competition to his employer in order that such
employer might give him higher wages for his
labor. This laborer watches the processes of
this tariff scheme and his study of t'.e matter
leads to this conclusion: "In consequence of
the protective laritY I have to pay a higher
price for everything I use. When I make a
contract with my employer he fgives me just
such wages as he finjs he is compelled to give
under the law of supply and demand, and if I
w ill not work as cheaply as he wants me to
then he will employ cheap foreign labor. So
I find so far as I am concerned that a protec
tive tariff is a delusion and a snare," Our
contemporary is unfortunate in his conipari
sons.
Some of the conclusions of science would
indeed be appalling but for 'heir practical harm.
lessness. Thus, the geologists asserts that if
the continents and the bottom of the ocean
were graded down to a uniform level,the whole
world would be covered with water a mile
deep, so much greater is the depression of the
ocean bed than the elevation of the existing
land.
An important session of the Farmers Insti
tute was lately held at Toronto, Canada. One
of the questions discussed was that of free corn
from the United States. It was contended by
a number of the members that corn cannot be
raised at a profit, and it is cheaper to import
American corn, A motfon advocating "free
corn" was carried.
