X. c. o-20-G mo. WASHINGTON' LETTER. T om our Regular Correspondent For Hit' Democrat What has become of the principle of protection so prominent in the Chicago platform of 1888? The hardest blow yet ro cieved by the Tariff, and the tariff ring, heretofore, the sole issue and source of sus tenance, respectfully, of the republican party, has just been delivered by the Pres ident. He has had occasion to be seriously provoked by the manner in which his sug gestions were tabled during the present session, by both Houses of Congress. In fact, the old Republican ship is at sea andinalieav y gale of wind. She has d rifted amongst dangerous rocks that threaten her with de struction. The Pilot has ordered "hard a port" and the (i. 0. P. is drifting' before thewind, directly out of the course that it has pursued "from such a time that the memo ry of man runneth not to the contrary". The constitution nuthori izes and encourages tluVPres ident to frequently offer ad vice to Congress. 7ut the tariff and silver questions were so occult, and the intri cacies and interest of his po sition so great and various that the President chose to refrain from any public ex pression on the subject. Nevertheless he managed to have his exact ideas on both qiMl::s con eyed to the I prominent republican men- l'ers. Put, in spite of that ; caution, his own party ha made the present minimis- trntioii appear rediHotius and contemptible. i Vi'hen that body of illustri- ous am conservative states- illiell ill the Senate flew off on a wild tangent, and depart ! ing from every sound prin ciple of political economy passed t lie Silver Pill, the ill-' tidings of its action nearlv took away Harrison's breath.

The till, which they have just succed"d in passing through the Senate, makes the government their regular customer, which is obliged to pay to them an exhorbitant price for theii ore - a price that it would j not command in tin market.

It provided that the ports of the Uuited States shall be declared free and open to tho products of any coun try of America, whenever such country shall admit free bread stuffs, provisions, and other food products, pe troleum .and -other articles from the United States.

We desire to say to the President that every further step he takes in company with Mr. Quay nu.l his follow ers will be another step on t'10 r():(- to political disaster, The indications ought to be pretty plain by thistimothat a company as Mr. Quay com manded; undersucha flagas they carried, ami that, evil was sure to result ifliedidso. It will hardly be denied, we think, that tin re .are now a bundant evidences of the soundness of this statement. i ne pontics oi i emisyivania are confused and convulsde. There is hardly one county from the Deleware to the 0 hio which is not angry and inharmonious. There is not an intelligent and conscien tious republican in tho State who does not realize the inju ries which Quayism has wrought, and does not feel that this has boon greatly in creased by the favor which the President has shown to so unworthy and mischiev ous iin element. The seeds of distraction and disunity which the administration in sisted upon sowmg, have sprung up in all directions, and give signs of an abund ant crop of disaster. Is it pos sible then, th.it the President means to sow still more of them, and that he isreaoy to furnish the means wherewith Mr. Quay shall bribe enough delegates to assure Mr. Pel amater's nomination?

And to speak slightlylof the good sense ol t hose whoso er rors you' would correct, flies equally wide of the mark.

Suppose, then, that the far mers in the democratic par ty were to suggest to the hot heads of that party to stop booming Cleveland and Hill for the nomination, and feel the pulse of the country on Senator Vance for awhile. What a stir it would make! True, they might loe a doubt tul state, but they would gain half-a-dozen in the place of it. The reason is plain and simple. Vance is noted as a plain man of the people, a wise man, a pure man, an honest able and effi cient man.

It is now held v the best 'physicists that instead of fall iiig from above tie dew rises from tin earth. Tin g n -riil ly received opinion thai the (1"W is formed of vapor exist : ing at the time in the jitnios j phere must lie given up for I the established fact t hat the j vapor which arises from the ! heated earth is trapped by j the surface earth. Uesides, ! when we imagine th.it on ,4 coo' evening rfter a suit;,' day in summer, our feet are i being wet. by the dew on the grass, we make a grave mis take. For that moisture on the grass is not dew at all, it is fals.? dew in reality tlw transpired humor of the plant. The drops at the tips, which glisten diamond-like are not dew; close examina tion shows that these crystii line spheres ;ire nil situated at the points where the veins of the lea res cut the outer j edges. These dropsonly give ( evidence of the vitality of the plant. The difference between the true dew on the grass and the exuded drops through the veins from within the grass, can bo easily distin tinguislied, for the former is distributed all over the blade in a moist film ; whereas the latter of some size, and are situated near the tips of tin blade. Altered, then, is the meaning of the line. "Ilka bhi.de of graes keeps its nin dr.ip o' dew," for those glob ules on the petal, shaking to the same sweet air, and often "gliding all fra grance into on.", are no dew drop.-J, but are exudations of the heall h.v plants. They give evidence of the elixir vi tfiL of vegetation; whereas, the truedew is the pearly lus ter, varnished in fimy humid ity over 1 he blades by that wonderous alchemy which transforms the vapor rising from the ground into the ground into theplant refresh ing dew.
