At 3 o'clock in the afternoon , while the sun was bright and warm , the six hundred children of our schools were in their places in front ot the east ward build ing , which had been appropriately decorated with bunting , and the flags of the nations most interested in tliu dis covery and settlement of our land. Several hundred citizens encouraged the children by their presence and atten tion. The invocation was delivered by Rev. McBride after which the Presi dent's proclamation was read by Mon ti e Stafford , the Governor's proclama tion by Kenneth Welles. After a selec tion by the band , the national flag was raised by the G. A. R. and saluted by three cheers , after which the children recited in unison this pledge. ' 'I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands ; one nation indivisible , with liberty and justice to all.

THE first platform adopted by the democratic party was in 1832 , and the first foremost plank con tained this resolution : "Resolved , That an adequate protection to American industry is indispensible to the prosperity of the country ; and that an abandonment of the policy at this period would be attained with consequences ruin ous to the best interests of the nation. " There was no hint of the unconstitutionahty of the protec tive tariff in the literature sent out by the democrats in those days. It was not until the con federate constitution gave the democrats the cua that they decid ed protection to be wicked and out of harmony with the organic law of the nation. Journal.
