DEMOCRATIC PTATFOR1I.
The Plaorm Adopted by the Democrats,
in National Convention Assembled.
The Derrocratic party of the Union, through its
representatives', in National Convention assem
bled, recognizes that as the Nation grows older
rew kfcues are born of time and progress, and old
Issues ptrish, but the fundamental principles of
the Democracy, approved by the united voice of
the pe pie. remain, and will ever remain, as the
best and only security for the -jontinuance of free
govert mf nr. '1 he preservation of personal rights,
the equality of all cit zens before the law, the re
served rights of the States, the supremacy of the
Fedf-rtU Government wi bin the proper limit, will
ever form the true basis of our liberies, and can
never be surrendered without destroying that bal
ance oi rights and powers which enables content
ment to be developed in peace and sorrow. Order
to be maintained by means of local self govern
ment, but it is indispensable for the practical ap
plication and enforcement of these
rundamental principles that the government
should not always be controlled by one
polii ical . party. Frequent charge of adminis
tration la as necessary as constant recurrences to
the popular will, otherwise abuses grow and the
Government, instead of being carried on for the
general welfare b' comes an instrumentality for
imposing heavy burdens on the many who are
governed for the benefit of the few who govern.
Public servants thus become arbitrary rulers.
This is now the condition of the country, hence a
change is demanded.
The Republican party, so far as prin
ciple is concerned, is a reminiscence in
practice; it is an organization for enriching
those who control it. Machinery and frauds and
jobbery which have .been biought to light in
) every department of the Government are sufficient
to have called for reform within the Republican
party. Yet tho-e in authority, made reckless-by
the long possession of pow r, have succumbed to
Its conupting influence, and have placed in nom
. tnation a tir ket against which the Independent
portion of that party are In open revolt; therefore
a change In demanded. Such a change was alike
necessary in I87t, but the will of the people was
then defeated by the lavish use of money, con
tributed by unscrupulous contractors and shame
less jobbers, who had bargained for unlawful profit
or lor high office. The republican party, during its
legal, its sto'en. and its bought tenures of power,
has steadily decayed in moral character and po
litical capacity. Its platform promises are now a
list of its past failures. It demands the restora
tion of our navy; it has squandered hundreds of
millions to create a navy that docs not exist. It
calls on Congress to remove the burdens under
wbJch American shipping has been depressed; it
imposed and has continued those burdens. It
professes the policy of reserving the public lands
for small holders, actual settlers; ?t has given
away the people's heritage till now a
few rai roads and non-resident aliens, indi
vidual and corporate, possess a larger area
than that of all our farms between the two seas.
It proferses a preference for free institutions; it
organized and tried to legalize a control of State
electiot s by Federal troops. It professes a desire
to elevate labor; it has subjected the American
workingmen 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 Representatives the first effort to equal
ize both bounties and pensions. It professes a
, pledge to correct the In egularities of our tariff
It created and has continued them. Its own Tariff
Commission confessed the need of more
f an a twenty per cent reduction; its Congress
gave a reduction of less than 4 per cent. It pro
fesses protection of the American manufacturer;
it has subjected them to au increasing flood of
manufactured goods and a hopeless competition
with manufacturing nations not one of which
taxes Taw 'materials. It professes to protect all
American Industries; it has impoverished many
to subsidize a few. It professes the protection of
Ameilcan. labor; it has depleted the re
turns of Ametican agricultuie, the industry
followed by our people. It prolesses
the equality of all men before the law; attempt
ing t fix the status of the colored citiz-ns the
acis of its Congress were overset by the decisions
of its courts. It accepts anew the duty of leading
in the woik of prcgress and reform; its caught
criminals are pe mitted to escape through con
trived delays or actual connivance in the prose
cution. Honeycombed with corruption, out
breaking exposures no longer shock its morality.
Its honest numbers, lis independent journals, no
longer maintain a successful contest for authority
in Its councils, or put a veto upon bad nomina
tions. That a change is necessary is proved by an
existing surplus of more than $,00,CuO,00(, which
has 3 early been collected from a sufiering people.
Unnecessary taxation is unjust. We denounce the
Republican party for havniK failed to relieve the
people from crushing war taxes which ha e para
lyzed business, crippled industry, and deprived
lobor of emploj ment and of just reward.
The IX mecracy pledges itself to purify the ad
ministration from corruption, to restore economy,
to revive rc-pect for the law, and to reduce taxa
tion to the lowest limit com latent with due regard
to the preservation of the faith of the nation to
creditors and pensioners. Knowing full well that
legislation affecting the occupation of thepeop'e
should be cautious and conservative In method.
not in advance of public opinion, but
la response to its demand. the
Democracy is pledged to revise the tariff
in a spirit of fairness to all interests. But in ma
king a reduction in.tax-s it is not proposed to
injure any aomtsiic industries, tut rather to pro
mote their heaitnv growth. From the founda
tion of this Government taxes colhcied at the
Custom Hcuse have been the chief soun.es of
jrederal revenue ; such they must continue to be.
Moreover, many industries have come to rely on
legislation for successful continuance, so that
any changeof law must be at every step n gard
ful of the labor and capital thus involved. The
8 rocess of reform must be subject, in the execu
on, to this plain dictate of justice. All taxation
nouiu ue limited to ine requirements of econo
mical government. The necessary reduction in
taxation can and must be effected without
depriving American labor of the ability to
compete successfully with foreien lsbor, and
without imposing lower rates of duty than will be
ample to cover any increased cost of production
which may. exist in consequence of the higher
rate of wages prev iling in this country. 8utlic
ient revenue to pay all the expenses of the F d
eral Government, economical y administered, in
cluding pensions, interest and principal of ilu
public debt, t an be got under our present system
of taxation from Custom House taxes on "fewer
Imported articles, bearing lightest on articles
of necessity. We, therefoie. denounce tneabu-es
of the existing tariff, and subject to the preceding
limitations, Me cemand that Federal taxation
shall be exclusively tot public purpose
and shall not exceed J he needs ot the Govern
ment, economically administered. The sj stem ot
direct taxation known as internal revenue" is a
war tax. and so long as the law continues, tin
money derived thereirom should be devoted to
the relief of the people from the remaining bur
dens of tho war, and made a fund to defray the
expense of the ca e tnd comfort of worthy sol
diers di-abled in the line of duty in tue war of
the Rep' b!ic, and for the payment of en eh pen
sions as Couvress niny from time to lime grunt ro
such soldiers, a like fund for the sailors having
been already provided, and any surplus should be
paid into the Treasury.
We favor an amendment to the Continental
policy based upon more intimate commercial
and political relations with the fifteen sister Re
publics of North, Central and South Amerka,
but entangling alliances with none.
We believe in honest money, all the gold and
silver coinage of the Constitution, and a circu
lating medium convertible into such money with
out loss.
In asserting the equality of all men before the
law, we hold that it is the duty of the Govern
ment in its dealings with the people to mete ou;
equal and exact justice to all citizen, of what
- ever nativity, race, color 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 Demi cmts in the Forty-filth and
Fofty-sixth Congresses by which a reluctant Ke-
fmblican opposition was compelled to assent to
eglslatlon making everywhere illegal the pres
ence of troops at the ro Is as the conclusive proof
that a Democratic administiation will preserve
liberty with order.
The selection of Federal officers for the Temfo
ries shou'd be restricted to citizens previously
resident therein.
We oppose sumptuary laws which vex the citl
Kns ana intenere with individual liberty.
We favor au honest count, civil service reform,
the compensation cf United States officers by
fixed salaries; the separation of church and State
and the diffusion ot free education by common
schools, so that every child In the land may be
tauaht the rights and duties of citizeuship.
While in favor of all it gislatiou vt hich w ill tend
to the equitable distribution of property, to the
prevention of monopoly and to the strict enforce
ment of Individual rights against corporate abuse,
the platform fu ther favors the repeal of all laws
restricting the action of labor; calls for the restor
ation of the unearned land grants, and that no
more lands be allowed to fall Into the owner
snip ot alien absentees; declares that
our interests demand that our gates
be closed against the Chinese immigration: de
clares that it is the imperative duty ot the Gov
ernment to guard the interests of American citi
zens abroad; declares that an American citizen is
only responsible to his own Government for any
act done In his own country or under her flag,
and can only be tried therefor on htr own soil
and according to her own laws, and no
power exists in thU Government to extraaite an
American citizen to be tried in any foreign land
for any sucn act; declares that the Government
should care for and improve the .Mississippi and
other great waterways, and regarding the ship
' eg interests, it demands instead ot the JRepub
can party's Bri'ish policy, an Ame ican policy ;
indeed, if the Republican party's discreditable
schemes and false pretense of friendship for
American labor, is expressed by Imposing laxes.
we demand in Lchalf of Democracy freedom for
American labor, by reducing taxes, to the end
that these United States may compete with un
hindered powers far the primacy among naiinu--.
In another column we publish a very
complimentary testimoniBl from resi
idents of Marshal county, Kansas, to the
Burlington Insurance Company, showing
the promptness and liberality of that
notable association in the settlement of
its losses. The old Burlington is doing
lots of practical good, paying out as it
does, thousands of dollars for losses
amocg our farmers and dwelling own
ers and that, too, without any quib
bling or litigation. Since its admis
sion to Kansas in 1881, the Burling
ton has not litigated a single loss in the
State.
Methodical Ants.
Houston Post.
The Texas agricultural ants go to work
in a methodical manner. They make a
nest beneath the ground and raised sev
eral inches above it, and clear away a
space on either side of several feet from
which branch through the grass several
road3. Curiously enough this grass
about the nest is all of one kind. All the
other weeds are cleared away. Some
people say that ants plant the grass seed.
However, they do gather it, and feed to
the young and store the grain houses un
der ground. Here you see another evi
dence of intelligence. The seeds stowed
away would naturally sprout after a rain,
but in some cases, when they become
damp, the ants take them to the surface
and dry them in the sun ; in other cases
they poison the seedbv bitins it. so that
it does not sprout.
A Telling Testimonial.
Marshall Co., Kans., June 30, 1884.
The storm of the 25th of June ininrWl
and destroyed our property, which was
insured in the Burlington insurance
Company, of Burlington, Iowa. We wish
wj icouiy mat mia company nas prompt
ly, and to our entire satisfaction, adinsted
and paid us in full, by sight draft, the
amounts oi our losses. The reputation
of this company .for square dealing, we
think, has been faitly earned; and" as a
Western Institution that can be relied
upon in time of need we cheerfully re
commend it to all.

Among the great cataracts of this Globe,
that of "Niagara" stands pre-eminent for
the enormous volume of water that pours
over so lofty a precipice an ocean, as it
were, emptying into a vast abysscausing
the beholder to remain for a time spell
bound with awe at its wonderful grandeur
and terrific power, as the mighty volume
pours from a perpendicular height of one
hundred and sixty feet with a deafening
roar into the surging, seething unknown
depths below. This Wondb of thk World
has been visited by some of the most emi
nent and scientific (as well as curious) of
the Old World, at great expense and incon
venience in the days gone by, and yet none
ever turned from this grand spectacle that
did not feel that they were abundantly com
pensated for all inconvenience and expense
incurred. It has also been visited by many
emeinent Americans, and in a few years it
will be a rare thing to met any one in this
country, whether European or American
who has not availed thernielTes ot the im
proved facilities now afiorded (to all persons
traveling between the east and west by the
Michigan Central Ralljioad, which runs
its trains entire between Chicago and Buf
falo via the Falls, stopping at Fall View
Station to give all passengers an opportu
nity to view the Falls from the Finest
Point of View obtainable of both The
American and Horse Shoe Falls, after
which the trains cross on the New Oanti
Lever Bridge, a marvel of engineering
skill; thence in view of the Rapids they
pass Exchange street, Euffalo, where con
nections are made with all principal lines
east. Thus it will be seen that all persons
traveling by the above route can avail them
selves of advantages afforded by no other
line that of seeing the Falls without
Additional Expense or Loss of Time, while
at the same time they enjoy all the luxuries
of travel by the best of modern equipped
Railroads, including superb Parlor, Sleep
ing and Dining Cars. For further particu
