Democracy and l'rogrcss.
Democratic principles mean progress
and thoy mean to render tho power
of tho pcoplo always cflictlvo. Wo
Maintain that Democratic principles nro
efficient for tho euro of all political ovlls,
when faithfully applied, and that tho
Democratic party Is capahlo of master'
lug ovory dllHculty. For n maddening
period, a portion of tho people may bo
led astray, but In tho end n majority nro
suro to como right. Whllo In a minority

oeratlc party to maintain tho purity of
Its principles thantoacqulro temporary
success by adulterating them, and that
party which proposes whotcsomo remo
dies and shows capacity to wield power
to public advantago Is raoro worthy of
respect and conlldcnco than ono that
plants Itsolf upon tho "No'' platform
or In othor words opposes all things and
supports or proposes nothing.
Two great evils corrupt our Leglsla
turo. Thcso fill tho Legislature with
corrupt men, and corruption therefore
enters Into tho passago or rejection of
almost every bill, and tho election of
Federal Senators. Thcso ovlls aro tho
power of tho Legislature to pass local
and prlvato laws, and tho election of a
State Treasurer. Whllo tlieso remain
our Legislature will always bo corrupt,
rogues can well afford to spend much
more money for election than their sal
ary amounts to, which honest men eau
not afford to do. Thcso ovlls nro not
within tho reach of tho pcoplo except
through tho Instrumentality of n corp
Htltutlonal convention. Wo, therefore,
favor such convention, to bo composed,
however, of an equal number of mem
bers of both parties, and lis Important
amendments to bo separately submitted
to a volo of tho pcoplo.
Wo want all this to tako placo before
tho election of another U. S. Senator,
so that rogues shall not liavo control of
that matter. Thereforo wo favor tho
election of delegates at tho first general
election. As tho pcoplo aro to voto on
tho amendments, thero Is no uso In tak
ing a volo upon holding tho convention.
That woulddoublothd expense without
accomplishing anything, and Is there
foro useless, but would sorvo to delay
matters so that tho corruptlonists would
havo tho election of tho next Senator.
For years tho Domocracy havo been
cheated out of tho voto of this State by
tho frauds of tho Radicals In Philadel
phia and other places, and wo Insist on
such chango of tho election laws as will
prevent thcso frauds and givo forco to
tho will of tho people. Although wo
havo our own theories as to the best
manner of accomplishing this result,
wo will bo porfeotly satisfied with nuy-
thing that will accomplish It. Wo aro
not In accord with thoso who deplore
tho evil yet opposo tho application of

power to cure positive ovll wo aro for
promptly destroying tho root of tho
ovll by tho most efficient means possi
ble, and tbus totally obliterating tho
evil Itself, and forever preventing its
recurrence.
-.Certainly thero is no occasion for the
Gazette getting Into a passion , as regards
tho discussion between us, for wo over
treated its editors with tho respect due
to proper gentlemen, which thoy had a
right to claim. Tho editor of tho Col
umbian is responsible for tho senti
ments ho utters and It is not manly to
peck at any one elso becauso of them.
Wo advocate nothing that is not based
on tho clear ptlnclples laid down by
Mr. Jefferson as tho basis upon which
our Democratic structuro rests, and
from that position wo shall not bo driv

Taxation
Tho N. Y. Evening Ist says tho
nggrcgato of taxation for Federal, State
and local purposes In this country, now
amounts to nearly twenty dollars per
head for our population men, women
and children. This is a heavier burden
than any modern nation lias ever borno
during a time of peace; and yet wo
contlnuo to Hatter ourselves that wo
havo tho cheapest government in tho
civilized world. Iti London tho local
taxes amount to but $5,80 ; and tho local
taxes In England nnd Wales nro said to
amount to but $3,87 per head. In Mon
treal tho taxes amount to but $5,23 per
head. These facts will surprlso many
pcoplo and thoy will nnturnlly ask why
it is that our Government costs so much

AND DEMOCRAT,
Our Itnirgrd Hank-Mote,
Tlio national-bank ring Is determined
to mnko itself odious. From .nil parts
of tho country como complaints of tho
bad condition of tho national bank
notes.' Thoy aro filthy, ragged, illegi
ble, pestiferous mid pestilential. Tlio
complaints had become so general that
oven Congress could not disregard them,
General Oaufikm), chairman of tho
IIouso Committeo on Currency nnd
Ranking, tbo othor day reported n bill
providing for tho Issuo of fresh notes,
aenornlOAiiriKKD, though a Radical,
Is esteemed ns n man of honor ; but ho
nnd his committeo nro altogether too
much under tho lullucnco of tlio nation
al bank interest, nnd tho bill reported
provided that tlio now notes should bo
Issued by tho Treasury, atthtpublte ex
pense, an Injusttcouo gross nnd flagrant
that It Is astonishing how n man of
ClAnrir.LD's reputation ami Intelligence
could bo found willing to father It. Tho
moment tho bill was offered, Mr. IIoc-
man, tho Democratic Representative of
tho Second District of Indiana, moved
what tho tools of tho bank ring call "a
very obnoxloug amendment," provi
ding that tho banks should pay tho ox
penso of Issuing tho now notes, nn
amendment so Just that General Oak
field could not refuse to ncccpt It, nnd
that many Republicans, not directly
under tho lullucnco of tho bank rlnc.
Joined tho solid Democratic pHalntix in
Its favor. Tho amendment was carried
by a liberal majority. Rut when tho
voto was taken, tho bill was laid on tho
tablo by n very light vote, and tills
much-needed measure again postponed.
It may not bo so readily apparent
why banks should opposo tho issuo of
now notes, oven nl their own expense
Tlio cost is not so great but that It would
bo amply compensated for by tho con
venience of tho banks themselves. Tho
truo reason of their objection to tho
now notes is that tho old notes nro con
stantly wearing out, nro destroyed and
lost. It requires only ono moment's
thought to recognize tho fact that n now,
clean, crisp wiiito nolo is not linlf so
easily lost and destroyed ns nn old,
dark, limp, nnd so ft ono; nnd, of course,
all notes so lost and destroyed nro a
direct gain to tho bank, ns It Is not cal
led upon to redeem them. Now, tho
pcoplo of tho Unltod States pay tho na
tional banks annually about twenty
millions of dollars for tho scrvlco which
they nro supposed to render tho public
in furnishing it with threo hundred
millions of bank notes, which tlio pub
lie might havo entirely freo of cost, If
it but choso to say tho word. Yet when
tho pcoplo complain that instead of n
decent currency, for which they pay a
fabulous prlco, they aro furnished with
indecent rags, wo nro coolly told that
wo may, perhaps, havo new currency if
wo, tho peoplo, chooso to pay for it ;
that wo certainly shall not havo It un
less wo do, but that oven If wo chooso
to pay for it, It Is by no means certain
that our masters of tho national-bank
ring will allow us to havo It, becauso
they mako In tho long run a llttlo addi
tional percentage over and abovo tho
twenty millions, by compelling tho
pcoplo to uso tho disgusting, filthy rags
winch tneso Impudent monopolists ten
iter us as a superabundant return for
their twenty million subsidy. Verily,
verily, tho worst enemy of tho national
banks could not hurt them so much in
tho public esteem as thoir own unscru
pulous rapacity does everyday.
Tlio ScIipiiio for IJ.ijonct tiorcrnmcnt.
Tho bill to nuthorlzo tho perpetration
of military outrages did not rccclvo tho
undivided support of tho Republican
Sonators. Mr. Sumnek, it is truo,
makes a differenco botween nets of mil
itary oppression to negroes in Ilnytl,
and to whlto men in tho Unitod States.
Ho stoutly objected to tho former; but
wasquuo willing to voto for anything
that was lovclled agalust tho whites
of tho South. Mr. Caul Scuunz was
mora consistent, no knows too much
of tlio encroachments bf military des-'
potism In Europo to lend a helping
hand to It In tho land of his adoption.
It wns to cscapo tho very ovlls ttjat
nauicaiism Is striving to inflict on our
country, that great numbers of our cit
izens of Gorman nnd Irish birth loft
their nntlvo lands. Tiieir Instincts nnd
their oxperienco tench them to rccoc-
nizo tho approach of despotism. It
may bo said of thcra as was said of tlio
men of tho American Revolution who
had lived under, nnd nt last throw off
tho yoko of a monarch ; "Thoy snuff
tyranny In tho brcezo." This vilo
schemo to vest nrbltrary power In ono
man can only find advocates among tho
venal, reckless partisans, who hope to
find their profit in It. Among thoso
who voted witli tho Democrats against
it wero Senators TnusniUMi, Hill,
RonECTKON, TinoN nnd Scnunz, as
wo havo mentioned. They afford an
example to all freeman to unite In tho
dofenso of Constitutional liberty, and,
on that great question, to ignore all
party lines.
Senatok Tjiuiiman, In discussing
tho Kulvlux bill, which recently passed

which was possessed by only two mon

and tho Sultan of Turkey. Under thcso

Ono observing tho movements on tho

being taken upon a bill in which somo
partlcnlar party Is cither directly or In
directly Interested, sees In nil lis sick

cracked and tho supposed Independent

Political Mornlllr.
Tho very low grndo of political morali
ty that now pervades this country Is n
sad thing to realize, and, howovcr slight
tho present exhibition, Is slowly nnd
steadily forcing patriotic and rcflcctlvo
minds to doubt tho permanency of liber
ty, nnd to actively seek tho whorowlth
to avert anticipated catastropho.
In tho early days of tho Republic, a
hlghtoncd honor was tho rulo. Wash
ington, n Virginia gentleman, of 'con
siderable fortune, could not think of
accepting olllco cither In a military or
civil capacity, with tho Idea of n wrong
compensation for his services. All ho
would ask or would rccolvo of his
country was tho payment of his expen
ses whllo engaged In her service Jeffer
son, Madison nnd Monroo, after giving
n lifo scrvlco to thoir country, and each
In turn filling tho Presidential ofllco for
eight years, retired to tho walks of prl
vato liro bankrupts In their fortunes,
although receiving tho satuo salary that
President Grant doos now. Thcso men
had no Itching palms thoy were not
tho recipients of presents from offico
hunting thloves thoy entered Into no
conspiracies to rnlso or depress tho
monoy market their relatives filled
nono of tho public places confided to
Presidential nominations and how
careful, how very careful, wero thoy
that In no ono thing thoy should over
step tho constitutional boundaries of the
authority committed to their caro.
Alast what n chango do wo witness In
tho rulo that governed tho conduct of
our early Presidents fiom that which wo
sco to-day. But this great chatigo Is not
confined nlono to tho rtto of nctlon by
tho occupnnts of tho Whlto IIouso at
Washington. It Is In Congress, on the
Bench, In tlio Federal officials every
where, In tho Govornors and Legisla
tures of Stato3 aye, to nn nlarmlng
oxtcnt among tho people thomsolvcs, In
their support of wicked and unconstitu
tional legislative measures adopted In
tho Interests of party organization.
It has been accepted as a truism that
party Rplrlt Is n nocosslty to tho preser
vation of a freo government. In obedi
onco to tho decision of a leglslntlvo
caucus, where n question of party inter
est is involved, mon no longer hesitate
to damn their souls with perjury. Look
nt tho war nnd reconstruction Acts of
Congress for tho past ton years, scarcely
ono of which was constitutional ad
mitted not so to bo by tho very men who
wero ndoptlng and enforcing thom, nnd
who wero sworn to obey nnd support
tho constitution. Look nt tho bogus
Amendments, and their fraudulent and
bayonet ratifications, for tho solo pur
poso pf adding it half million of negroes
to their voting forco. Look at party
nctlon In tho expulsion of members In
tho various loglslatlvo bodies, Including
that of Congress Itself, which being tho
mo3t Bolcct ought to havo boon tho last
to fall from lbs original high estate.
Look nt tho declaration of Mr. Strang,
tho leader of tho majority party in tho
Houso of Representatives at Harrlsburg,
on tho passage through that body of tho
bill ro-dlstrlctlng tho Stato for tho clec
tlon of Senators and Rcprcsctitntives to
tho General Assembly. Said he, " I
havo no concealments. I think tlio Re
publicans havo n majority in tho State,
und I support this bill becauso it will
give thorn a working majority. If tho
Democrats don' t accept, wo can get along
very well with tho present nrrnngoraont
for tho next soven years." Tho man that
Bald tills, as well as ids compatriots In
tlio Houso, had nil taken a solemn oath
on tho first Monday of January last, to
obey tho Constitution of Pennsylvania,
knowing that It positively required
them to mnko an apportionment of rep
resentatives during tho present year.
To prescrvo n party majority in tho
legislature, In despito of what a ma
jority of tho pcoplo may wish, thoy pro
poso to disregard thoir oaths of ofllco, as
well ns nil regard for Justlco and fair
dealing, In offering tho Democrats n bill
that cannot bo accepted, confidently
looking for tliOBupportof their pnrtizan
friends in this great breach of tho moral
laws tlmt all recognize ns tho necessary
governing rules among a civilized and
freo people. In this bill, which has
passed tlio House, to Allegheny county
nro allotted threo members iu tho Sen-
ato,although deflclentC,500In tho num
ber of tnxablcs entitling her to that rep
resent tlon, whllo Fuyotto, Grcono and
Westmoreland, with a surplus of 0,033,
aro given but one senntor. Luzerne, a
Democratic county, witli n surplus of
18,622, is to havo but ono senator, whllo
Bedford, Fulton, and Somerset, repub
lican, with a deficiency of 9,000, aro to
havo ono and Crawford also republi
can, with n deficiency of 0,017, Is to havo
another. Chester, a Radical county,
with 19,000, Is allowed threo members of
tho IIouso, whllo Montgomery county,
Democratic, with 22,217, gota only two
members. This is political swindling
of tho worst kind.
In tho early days of tho Rcpubllo no
political party would havo dared thus to
havo sot asldo their constitutional ouu
gations, or shamelessly disregard tho
laws of morality In socking to wrong
tho pcoplo out of n Ju3t representation
In tho halls of legislation. Ponnsylva
ula may glvo fifty thousand Democratic
majority, npd yet tho Republicans seek
to retain tho power In tho General As
sorably through dishonest and unfair
apportionment bills. Party animosity
runs so high, and political morals so
low, that no stopping placo is found
where tills great ovll can certainly bo
nrrestod. Tho early writers could not
havo takon Into consideration tho uttor
abandonment of moral rulos that now
po;vado this Wholo country. Thoy must
havosuppo3od that a freo pooplo, govorn
lng thomsolvos, would naturally chorlsh

Hear lu Mind,
Wheu dlscaso has undermludcd tho health,
and tho physical system has becomo prostrntcsl,
a stimulant that will not only strengthen,
but rcmovo the cause, should bo Immediately
resorted to. Menial distress Is also a fruitful
source of tbo break) ug down of the constitution,
nnd tho ravages of this enemy to health aro
truly alarming. Forall sucli maladies llostetter's
Stomach Hitters have been found unsurpassed,
lly acting directly npon the dlgestlvo organs,
they remove the heavy, disagreeable feelings
after eating, so often complained of by persons
ol a delicate temperament. As soou us dlges

creasing, nud his general health Unproved.
Thousands of persons certify that It may be
relied on In all cases of weakness or nervous
debility attended upon sedentary habits. Tho
generality of Hitters are so dlsagreeablo to tho
tasto that they nro objectionable to a weak
stomach, This Is not tho caie with Hosteller's
II ittert, which will bo found mild and extremely
pleasant, llalsamlo plants, barks and roots con
tribute their restoratlvo Juices to render It
soothing ad strengthening. IU basis Is thu
only pure stimulant which has ever been pro
duced, contalnl ng no fun! oil, or any other dele
terious element, Tho most careful nnd skilful
chemists havo nnalyted the Hitters, nud pro
nouueo them harmless. Tills Is ssleulluo testi

thousands who havo experienced tho preventive
and curative effects of tho prnsAT yuktaui.h
