Yes, it is a legacy of Republican legislation which taxis the many to the highest standard that the fe^ may pocket millions The surplus comes from exoessivo duties on imports. It comes from the earoiogs of the people. While the people have been payiug this en or nous surplus on imported goods, the wealthy manufacturers, for whom the protection has been levied, are reaping the benefit of the ad vanced price of goods to the consnra er. A vote for a Republican for any office is an indorsement of the Is publican system of filling the liens nry. The Democratic purpose is to reform this method of creating lc^gn cie-s. Tbo Democratic party's pur pose i3 to reduce this robbery rate of taxation: to let the water out by stopping the flow; to bring abont re lief by leaving this money in ihe pockets of the people: to relieve mill ions of onr people from the oppress siou of tbo high tariff duties which servo only to burden the treasury with an idle surplus and place un earned millions in the coffers of a few hundred money barons who themselves neilhor work nor spin. The time is lipe for action, and the friends of the oppressed await a speedy consummation. Maku No MistaKR.—I f you have made up jrotir mind to boy take Hood’s Sarsaparilla<lu not tie induced to any other. Hood's Sar snpariha is tfpemiliur medicine. possessing, bl lirtue of its peculiar combination, pro portion peri to and any preparation, other article curative of the kind power before mi a r the people For nil affections arisijig from impure blood or low state of Hood the system it is umquailed.

The discovery uy the inhabitants of a loenl ity hithertonnvisited by the pestilent scourge of fever and turtle, that it t qi-ts in their very midst* is decidedly startling. Huch discover ics are made at every season, in every i art of the Union. it Subsequently, when it is ns pertained, as valuable invariably xperienee i» at such of times, through tbe i some one who has been benefitted and cured, that Ilostel rr’t.

It is all that the Democratic pirty has pledged itself to accomplish. The tax on tbe poo pie is more than the i;c«d of the gov ernment warrants. It is prodneing an eictrs of reveuue that invites pro fligacy nod threatens business stabili ty. The Democratic party simply proposes to lessen taxation to au ex tent that will bring the revenues to an equality with government expen see, nud to lay the lightest tax on ar tides of necessity, and let it remain tbe heaviest on articles of luxury. That is the whole Democratic propo sition and it is sound. No Iiepnbli can daro question its soundness. On that issue the Republican party is afraid to make its fight, and there fore raises the false issue that tbo Democrats are in favor of free trade. A contraction of the currency of any country has always been followed by financial distress, but it never has occurred before that n contraction of th* currency was made by the levy of more taxes on the people than was necessary to meet I ho necessities of the government. Consequently the f resent tariff law operates upon pub lie business by uvo forces: First, it taxes the people ten million dollars a month more tbau is necessary. Sec odJ, it locks up that amount of mon oy each month and causes contrac • ion to (Lat extent. Tbo money thus locked up i-. the result of an in direct tax of ten dollars per month on every laboring man in the conn try. Not one in ten of the laboring men who pay this enormous indirect tux, are in the least possible moans benefitted V»y the protective l riff. On the contrary, every cent of sur plus they thus pay is an unnecessary and forced robbery from them of what they should have to spend for comforts and luxuries for their fumi lies at home.

This paper will shortly begin the publication of a Serial Story with the above title, and of intense interest. Each chapter is alive with excitement and the plot moves on with a power aud spirit which will, we believe, make this one of the most acceptable serials we have ever offered in these columns. THE BRETON MILLS Is a story that will satisfy the popular demand for intense interest in each installment. The scene is laid in a New England fadlory village. Both the employing class and the class of the employed furnish aclors in the thrilling romance, and the reader’s interest will be closely held all through the changing scenes of the story. While not taking sides ou the questions interesting working people, which are touched upon in the story, the author dissedls the pa¬ thetic elements of the life of the poor with fearless hand. Still his romance, after all, is a romance of love, and all else in the story is only introduced to solve the problem of one man’s devoted and faithful nature.
