ItKMOCrUTIO JM.AtrOKSl. election 1, Ths representatives of the Iieiiiocratln party of the United Htatae In national convention assembled to reaffirm thulr allegiance to the princi ples as formulated by Jefferson and exemplified by a long aud Illustrious line of his suconsaors In Democratic leadorahlp from Madison to Cleveland; we believe the public welfare demands that thee principles be spplied to ths federal government Ui rough ths so o salon to power of ths party that advocates them; sod so we solemnly declare that tlte need of a return to those fundamental principles of a free popular government, leavd oa home rule and Individual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when the ten dency to centralise all power at the fed era! capital has become a menace of the reserved rights of ths state that strikes st lbs very runts of our government under ths constitution as framed by titer republic Hec. 2. We warn ths people of our oommoa country, jealous for the nres rvallon ot their free Institutions, that the pulley of federal control of elections to which ths iUpublloan party has otmimlttatd Itself, Is fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely leas auoui en- tout Uiaa would result from s revolu tion practically establishing monarchy 00 ths ruins of the republic. It strikes at ths ninth aa well as ths south, and Injure lte colored ettisensevea more titan ths while; It moans a horde of deputy marshals at every polling place armed with federal power, returning boards Bppulnted and controlled by s federal authority, ths outrage of the electoral rights of the people In tbe several states, tlte subjugation of tlte oultired people to the eoutrol of the party In power, and ths reviving of race antagonisms, now happily abated, of the utfiKett peril to the aaft ty and bap pi new of all; a measure delllwretely and Justly described by a leading lie publican senator a "Ute must Infamous bill that ever eruaatl the threahuld of the eciiete," Kuolt a pulley, If sanc tioned by law, would mean the domi nance of a self-pvrpciuauug oligarchy of office) holders, and the party first entrusted with Its machluery could be dislodged from power ouly by an ap peal to tbe reserved right of the people to resist oppression, which la Inherent lu sll self-goveruing eouirauultlos. Two years ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically condemned by the people alhe poll, but In contempt of that verdict the Itcpubllcau party haa defiantly declared In Its latest authoritative utterance that Its success la the comlug elections will mean the enactment of the force bill and tbe usurpation of despotie control over election In alt the state. Believing that tbe preservation of the republican govern ment In the United Htatea Is dependont ut)0 tbe defeat of this poli cy of legsttied force sod fraud, ws In vite tbe support of all alliens who de sire to see Uie constitution maintained lu Its Integrity wllh the laws pursuaut thereto, which have given our country nu years of unexampled prosperity; and we pledge 'the Democratic party, If It lie Intrusted with power, not only to the defeat of the force bill, but also to relentless opposition to the Repub lican policy of profligate expenditure which, In the short space of two year, bas squandered an enormous surplus and emptied an overflowing treasury, after piling new burdens of taxation upon the already over-taxed labor of the country. Hec, 8. We denounce Republican protection as a fraud on the labor of the greet majority of the American people for the benefit of ths lew. We declare It to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to Impose snd collect tariff duties, except for the purpose of revenue only, and we domand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to ths no ceitalllc of the government when hon estly snd economically administered. We denounce the Mckinley tar I (Haw enacted by the Fifty-unit congress a tbe culminating atrocity of clan legis lation; we indorse the efforts msde by the Democrats of the present congress to motllfy Its most oppressive features In ths direction of free raw material and cheaper manufactured goods thnt enter luto general consumption; and we promise Its repeal as one of the beneficent results that will follow the action of the people In entrusting power to the Democratic party, rJluve the McKluley tariff went luto opera tion there have been teu reductions of the wage of laboring men to one In crease. Wo deny that there has been any Increase of prosperity to the coun try since thnt tariff wont luto operation; third, we point to the dulluess aud distress with wsge reductions snd strikes lu the Irou trade as the best possible evidence that no such prosper ity bas resulted from tbe McKluley act. We call the attention of thought ful Americans to the fact that after thirty years of restrictive tariff against tbe Importation of foreign wealth lu exchange for our agricultural surplus, the homes and faring of the country have ' become burdened with a real estate mortgage debt of over 2,50&Y 000,000, exclusive of all other forms of Indebtedness; that In one ot the chief agricultural states of tbe West there appears a real-estate mortgage debt averaging f 106 per capita of tbe total population, aud that similar conditions aud tendencies are shown to exist In other agricultural exporting states. We denounce a policy which fosters no Industry so much ss It does that of the sheriff. . ; '. Bee 4. Trade Interchange on ths basis of reciprocal advantages to the roun tries participating Isatline-honored doctrine of the Democratic faith, but we donouuoe. the sham reciprocity whlchjuggles with tbe people's desire for enlarged foreign markets and freer exchange by pretending to establish closer' trade relations for ' a country whose articles of export are almost exclusively agricultural products wllh other countries that are also agricultu ral, while erecting a customhouse bar rier of prohibitive tariff taxes against ths richest countries of ths world, that stand ready to take our entire surplus of products snd to exebauge therefor commodities which srs iieotsmarlos and summit of life among our own people. Sec. 6. We reoogtiln! iu the trusts and oomblnatloiw which are designed to enable capital to secure more than Its Just share of ths Joint product of capital and labor, natural consequence of lbs prohibitive taxes which prevent the free oomilltlon which Is tbe life of honest trade; but we believe their worst evil osn be abated by law, aud ws demand the rigid enforcement of ths laws msde to prevent ami control them, together with eucb further legislation In,' restraint of the abuse as experience msy show to be necessary. Mac, 6. The Itcpubllcau !arty, while proasMlng pulley of reserving the pub lb laud for small holdings by actual settlers, has given sway tbe people's heritage till now a few railroad and oon-rldsnt alien, Individual and corporate, ptawtg a larger area than that of all our farms between tlte two seas. The last Democratic adminis tration reversed ths Improvident and unwise policy of tbe Republican party touching the public domain, and reclaimed from corporations and syn dicates, alien snd domestic, and re stored to the people nearly loo,(iu0,000 acres of valuable laud to be sacredly held ss homestead for our cltlrens, and ws pledge ourselves to continue this policy until every acre of land so unlaw fully held shall be reclaimed aiid re- stum! to tbe people. Hec. 7. We denounce the IU-publicu legislation known as tbe Hliermau set of 18U0, aaacowardly makeshift, fraugbt with possibilities of danger In tbe fu ture which should make all of its sup porter as well a It author, anxious for Its gpeedy reieat. We hold to tbe use of hot h gold snd sll ver s the stand ard money of the country, aud to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating agalust either metal, or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal luliintlvsod exchsngable value, or be siljuatt-d through International agreement or by such safeguards of leg islation as ahull lusure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times In the markets and In the pay ment of debts; slid we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable In such coin.
