We gave an account tho other day of
tlio remarkable platform adopted by the
Nebraska Kopuhlicati convention. A
verbatim account of tho proceedings of
thu convention, however, that the scheme
of campaign by which a protective plunk
wus Incorporated into the plan of salva
tion was not ngiced upon without heavy
opposition. After the committee on
platform had presented Its conclusions,
calling for u continuance of the war tarlll
und denouncing Cleveland und thu Mills
bill, no less a person than ox-United
States Senator Van Wyck usked leave to
introduce certain resolutions for thu con
vention. His request liclug granted hu
read uud submitted the following us u
substitute for tho hlgli-turitl' planks In
eluded in thu report of the committee:
Hesolved, That high tuxes, high tariir
and high trnnsH)rlutlon rates uro destroy
ing tlio prosperity of producers.
Hesolved. That tlio revenue whereby
the expenses of tlio government uro tmld
should bo drawn from the wealth of tho
nation, whereas bv our present system
tho thousands of millions collected for
carrying on tlio w.tr und for paying the
national debt, tho hundreds of millions
now in thu treasury and tho millions
gathered each day have much of it been
forced front tlio pockets of labor. Yearn
ago tlio money centers secured from
Congress u repeal of the Income tux, tho
tux on bank tlutioslts, railroad receipts
and others, while tho tax on lumber,
sugar and salt remain us liefoto, while
the tux on course fabrics is higher in
proportion than that on silks, satins and
diamonds.
Hesolved. That more iiiouov taken from
tho ptK'ketsof thu people than Issulllcient
to defray tho exoiises of the goverment
is nn uilusticu: that hoarding in thu
treasury cannot be justilled in buying our
IkiiiiIs before duo und giving 25 per cent,
for tho privilege of buying Ilium, uud is
only u lienellt to thu bond-holders, us
producers uud laborers do not hold
bonds.
The d seussion which followed took u
wide range und wus deliberative through
out. On it llnul vote thu substitute re
ceived thu supKirt of nearly u third of tho
convention. Thu niuln sieeclies wore
inndo by nu yck und Delegate atsou,

"lho liee-lrade cry." said van wyck,
will not mislead a single thinking man
in tho country that gives attention to ox
Ming conditions. Vto aro collecting too
much money, and that is ull there is
ulsmt it. If wo should reduce tuxes to
the meiisuro of our wiuits, freo-trudo or
