THE Coi'tlEB JOFBKil'S
DEMU-
The following four propositions
are set down as guiding principle s
by the Louisville Courier-Journal
an I they seeai to have the ring of
Democracy as we learned it, viz :
)
"Jb'ust The Uoveinment j has
no right, either equitable or or
ganic, to tax the people, except to
Tihe money for its own support ;
every dollar ol taxation diyerted
I from this purpose is robbery ; and
jit is equally important that the
; monty legally collected shall be
! hone-: y applied. ! ?:
j ''Second the right of the peo
ple t- self-government is an in-
aueri e ngt ; io locai option id
the counties, to home rule in the
; .i , l-rf- .ill virfcVifo in : V n
I States not expressly delegated to
the general Government ; and the
I preservation of this right of self
goyernment is essential to that
just equilibrium between liberty
and lawtbe corner-stones of our j
system of iedral and btate lnsti-
tutions.
j '-Tmrd Ihe money of the
country must oe gooa mqney ;
circuiaimg- everywnere ; unques
tioned and unqnestionable ; recog-.
nized at once and taken at its face
value ; and, to attain this univer-
8 il recognition and; acceptan ce, it
must consist of gold and ,r silver
and p 'per, the whole of inter
change r tle value, each convertible
iato the other-on demand, and
freely circulating side beside, '
! 4tFourlhThe' laws xnnst be
exec ated rigidly and; impartially
legislatiOD mustr be restricted to
proper functions ; the principle
individual responsibility must
6e taught and enforced ; the pub
Iic, credit and honor must become
subjects of paramount and per
sonal concern, and parties must
be held to a real and strict ac
countability through their official
representatives."
These, the Journal sayg shall
guide it in future and it clearly
intimates no obligations to "any
party dep arting therefrom. The
j ournai does not see in the late
Democratic shibofeth a complete
undoing of i the consequences of
the tariff and pension robberies
that have been advancing upon us
step by step for 30 years or more
with but an occassional check by
triumphant Democracy along the
lines set forth.
The Journal stoutly maintains
its right to the name Democrat as
is surely its right. Whatever
may be said and believed in favor
o! free coinage it has no exclusive
right to the name of Democracy.
Pnlits and even the" Teller

Cure by Hood's Sarsaparilla
After Others Failed.
"I was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this, a
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one ot my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. My
face looked so bad that some of my
neighbor? could not bear to look at me
and advised

feared this would irritate the sore and
make it Worse. Sol
Cou d Not Hide the Sores.
My nieceJ who was familiar with a case
similar tojmme, which had been cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in
a short tjme I saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu
ralgia in my head was better. In a few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed ; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone
I have nevpr had any symptom of scrofula
since. One large scar on my right arm Is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affliction. ! The neuralgia Is also cured "
