I Tli ! course of eur Democratic Represen
tative* in 01' tigress, in their efforts to
give relief to the people from burden
same internal rovenue and tariff taxa
tion, meets with tha approval of the
Democratic party of this State and we
rcspcotfully recommend that is they find
it impossible to give to the people all the
relief they demanded, they support any
just and practical measure presented in
Congress that will afford a practical re
lief from such existing burdtu.
Resolved, That while the details ot
the methods by rfhich the constitutional
revenue tariff shall be gradual l / readied
are snbjeois which the representatives of
our our peoplo at tbo national capital
must bo trusted to adjust, wc think the
custom duties should be levied for the
production of public revenue, and the
discriminations in their adjustment
should be suob as will placo the highest
rates on luxuries and the lowest on the
necessaries of life, distribute as equally
as possible the unavoidable burdens of
taxation, and confer the greatest good
on the greatest number.
Reeolved j That we, as heretofore, fa
vor, and will never cease to demand, the
unconditional abolition of the whole in
tert.a! revenue system, as a war tux, not
to be justified in tines of peace; as a
grievous burden to o°ir people and a
source of annoyance in its practical op
erations. We call the attention of the
people of the State to the hypocritical
pretensins of tbo Republican paity in
their platforms that they are in favor of
the appeal ot this onersils system taxa
tion, enacted by their party, while the
Kcpiblieans in C ngress arc taxing their
energies to obstruct all legislation in
augurated bo the representatives of the
Democratic party to telieve the people
of all or a part of this odious system.
Resolved, That the course of the
Democratic party, in furthetanoe of pop
ular education, is a sufficient guarantee
that we favor the education of the peo
ple, and we will promote and improve
the present educational advantages so far
as it can be done without burdening the
people by exoessive taxation.
Resolved, That to meet an existing
evil, we will accept, for educational pur -
poses, from the Federal Government or
pro rata share of the surplus in its trea
sury, Provided, that it be disbursed
through State agents and the bill for
the distiibution be freo from objection
able features.
Resolved, That tho United States be
ing one government and our 6 a national
parly, we denounce the efforts of the
Republicans to force sectional issues in
Oougrcs and elsewhere, and to promote
dissontion and ill will betwien the pso
ple of 'ho different sections of our com
mon country.
Kesolwd, That it is due te the peo
ple of our eastern courties, who have so
cheerfully borne their share of our com
mon burdens, that the present or some
equally effective sjsiem of county gov
eruuient shall be maintained.
Resolved, That the Democrati: party
is opposed to any further extension of
the '-No-fence'' law, unless such exten
sion shall have first been authorized by
majority of the qualified voters within
the territory to be affected thereby.
Resolved, That the Democratic party
has ever been tho party of the working
man, and has never fo9t«r»d monopolies,
nor nave '-trusts" or "combinations" or
"pools" ever grown up under laws en
acted by it. The coutcst in this coun
try being between aggtegatwd oapttal,
seeking to nrusb out all eompetion, Cfad

party is, as it has ever been, against tbe
monopolist and in favor of a just distri

WASTE IN CUTTING TIMBER
Economy in the cutting of pino trees
is a subject which .should ever be pres
ent with foreman of a camp, says
the Timhcrman. The proper direotiou
iu which the trie should fall is n matter
of the utmost importance iu the making
of luuiher. Frequently the tree is felled
by ignorant sawyers, so as to break its
back iu a half doaen places, and render
it useless for timber. Even what logs
are saved Irom such carelessness arc so
badly "shaken" as to virtually render
them worthless when they reaoh the mill.
The writer knew a foreman »ho made it
a point to fell a dozeu of trees at onee by
cutting each till the poiut of falling was
nearly reached, when the last tree was
allowed to fall against the other ti'l all
were down. It was certainly, au expe
ditious method for getting the trees down
but played havoc with the timber.
However, this is all iu pissing.
I'hi* groat loss sustained in lumbering
is in cutting the tree too high, tod leav
lug a stump with fully two feet of valu
b c timber to stand thore aid rot. This
foolish waste is frequently occasioned by
the depth of the snow m the wooJs, aud
iu geiug through old cuttings, the vari
ous depth; of snow in past winters can
be casilp ascertained by noticing the
height of the stumps. Thu objection is
raised to cattiDg stumps low djwn that
•he bntt will be foaod full of pitch. This
may bo an objut otion, but certain!; docs
not a(Teet tha two or three feet of good
timber left above where the roots take
h aid upon the trco-truuk proper, and by
this folly much gool timber is permitted
to bo lost.
It would pay a large amount of ex
pense ineurreil iu running a camp if the
sawyers were caused to kneel iu placo of
staudiug up when rawing down the tree.
Ttoy could work juKt as well and 6ave a
large amount of valuable timber which
can be estimated in figuring the differ
ence in the height of a stump cut by
men working in nn upright position.
It is a point the Timbermnn throws out
as worthy of analysis. Sometime ago
we gave a description of a machine
which might well be termed a "scaven
ger." Its purpose is to out from off
stumps a pieou of timber the length of a
shingle bolt. Oue of those machines set
at work in a fresh cutting will soou pro
vide a stock of excellent timber for a
shingle mill and of the very best quality.
When wood for firing locomotives in the
woods is required, this machine 19 a
grand provider. It can be gauged to
cut the stump level with the ground,
thus securing the 'tit pirn,'' thau which
there oan be no better lirir.g material.
On the whole, the time is now upon
our lumbermen in which more economy
is demanded in cutting timber. Stumps
should be cut shorter and trees foiled
with a view cf their striking the ground
without "living'' the uu st valuable part
of the timber into slivers. These two
important points should be well impress
ed upon the uiinds ofcauip foremen, and
the result would soon be seen in extra
logs. It would only take six or eight
stumps, cu'. low to make a twelve foot
log, whieh fact would be great consider
ation in a winter's lumbering.—Ohata
