The representatives of the democratic party of the United States, ia national convention assem bled, do reaffirm their allegiance to the princi ples of the party as formulated by Jefterson and exemplified by the long, illustrious line of his successors in democratic leadership, from Mad ison to Cleveland ; we believe the public welfare demands that these principles be applied to the conduct of the Federal government through the accession to power of the party that advocates them ; and we solemnly declare that the need of a return to these fundamental principles of a free and popular government, based on home rule and individual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when the tendency to central ize all power at the Federal capital has become a menace to the reserved rights of states, that strikes at the root of our government under (he constitution, as framed by the fathers of the republic. We warn the people of our common country, jealous tor the preservation of their free institu tions, that the policy of the Federal control of elections, to which the republican party has committed itself, is fraught with tho gravest dangers, scarcely less momentous than would result from a revolution, practically establish ing monarchy on the ruins of the republic. Jt Btrikes at the North as well as the Bouth, and injures the colored citizen more than the whites. It means hordes of deputy marshals at every polling place, armed with the Federal power of returning boards appointed and controlled by the Federal authorities ; an outrage on the elect oral rights of the people in theirstntes; the nub jugation of the colored people to the control of the party in power, and reviving the mce antag onism now happily abated. It is of the utmost peril to the safety and happiness of all. It is a measure deliberately and justly described by leading republicans as the most infamous bill that ever crossed the threshold of the senate. Such a policy, if sanctioned by law, would mean the dominance of a self-perpetuating oligarchy of office-holders, and the party first entrusted 1 with the machinery could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved rights of the people to resist oppression, which is in herent iu all self-governing communities. Two years ago this revolutionary policy was emphat ically condemned by the people at the polls; but in contempt of that verdict the republican party has defiantly declared, in its latest author itative utterances, that its success in the coming elections will mean the enactment of the force bill and the usurpation of a despotic control over elections in all states. Relieving that the preservation of republican government is de pendent upon the defeat of such a policy, legal ized by force and fraud, we invite the support of all citizens who desire to see the constitution maintained in its integrity with laws pursuant thereto, which have given our country 100 years of unexampled prosperity. THS TABIPF PJ-ANK. We pledge the democratic party is not only able to defeat the force bill, but also to oiler a relentless opposition to the republican policy of profligate expenditure, which in the short space of two years has squandered the enormous sur plus and emptied the overflowing treasury, after piling new burdens of taxation upon the already overtaxed labor of the country. We reiterate the oft repeated doctrines of the democratic party that the necessity of the government is the only juHtiOcation for taxation, and whenever a tax is unnecessary it is unjustifiable, or that when a custom -house taxation is levied upon articles of any kind produced In this country, the difference between the cost of labor here and lalor abroad, when such difference exiBts, fully measures any possible benefits to labor, and the enormous additional impositions of the existing tariff fall with a crushing force upon our farm ers and worklngmen, and for the mere advant age of the few, whom they enrich, exact from the laboring class a grossly unjust share of the expenses of the government, and we demand such a revision of the tariff Utwi as will remove their iniquitous inequalities, lighten their op pressions aud put them on a constitutional and equitable basis. But In making a reduction of taxes it is not proposed to injure any dome' tic industries, but rather to promote a healthy growth from their foundation. Government taxes, collected at the custom-houses, have been the chief source oi Federal revenue. Buch they must continue to be. Moreover many indus tries have come to rely upon legislation for suc cessful continuance, so any change In the law must be at every step regardful of the labor and capital thus involved. The process of reform must be subject, in its execution, to this plain dictate of justice. We denounce the McKinley tariff law, as the culminating atrocity of class legislation; we indorse the efforts ol the demo crats of the present congress to modify its most oppressive features in the direction of free raw materials and cheaper manufactured goods of general consumption, and we promiae its repeal as one of the beneticent results that will follow the action of the people in entrusting power to the democratic party. Since the MeKioley tariti' wnt into operation thjpr have bn tin n duc tions in the wages of laboring men to one in creHse. The prosperity of the country since the tariff went into operation has been uliangwl to dullness and distress. The wage reductions and strikes in the iron trade are the bent evidence that no such prosperity resulted from the Mc Kinley act. We call the attention of thoughtful Americans to the fact that after thirty years of restrictive taxes against the importation of for eign wealth in exchange for our agricultural surplus, home aud farms of the country have become burdened with over $2,f00,Oi)0,Wl) of real estate mortgages, exclusive of all other forms oi indebtedness; that in one of the chief agricul tural states of the West there appears a real es tate mortgage averaging 10" per capita of its total population; and that Bimilar conditions j are shown to exist in other agriculturnl and ex- ; porting states. KECII'KOCITY. We denouueo the policy which fosters no in dustry so much as it does that of the tariff. Trade luterchauge on the basis of reciprocal ad- j vantages to the countries participating is time- ( honored doctrine of the democractlc faith, but we denounce the sham reciprocity which jug gles with the people's desire for enlarged foreign markets and for freer exchanges, by pretending to establish closer trade relations for a country whose articles of export are almost exclusively agricultural products, with other countries that are also agricultural, while erecting a custom house barrier of prohibitive tariff taxes against the richest countries of the world, that stand ready to take our entire surplus products and exchange therefor commodities which are nec essaries and comforts of life among our people. TRUSTS AND COMBINATION.' We recognize 111 trusts and combinations, which are designed to enable capital to secure more than a just share of the joint product of capital and labor, the natural consequences of prohibitive taxes, which prevent free competi tion, which is the life of honest trade, but be lieve their worst evils can be abated by law, and we demand a rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and control thein, together with such further legislation in the restraint of their abuses as experience may show to be necessary. . THE LAND QUKSTIOM. The republican party, while profossiug a pol icy of reserving public lauds fur small holdings by actual settlers, has given uway the people's heritage, till now a few railroads and non-resident aliens, individual and incorporate, possess a larger area than that of all the farms between the two Bcas. The last democratic adminis tration reversed the improvident aud unwise policy of the republican party touching the pub lie domain, and reclaimed it from corporations and syndicates, alien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly 100,000,000 acres of valuable land, to be sacredly held as homesteads for our citliens, and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy until every acre of land so unlawful ly held shall be reclaimed aud restored to the people. THE HILViCIt UUKKTION. We denounce the republican legislation known as the Sherman act of WW as a cowardly makeshift fraught with the possibilities of dan ger in the future, which should, make all its supporters, as well as author, anxious for a speedy repeal. We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver with out discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar uiOfon the coinage of both metals must i.Mrf tVal JuUln sic and interchangeable value, or adjusted through international agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals. and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the mintB and in the payment of debts, and we demand that paper currency be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of farmers and the laboring classes, the ilrst and most defenseless victims of unsta ble money and fluctuating currency. THE STATE BANK TAX. We recommend that the prohibitory 10 per cent tax on state bank issues be repealed. CIVIL SKRVICK. Wo reaffirm the declaration of tho democratic national convention of 1870 for the reform of the civil service, and call for an honest enforcement of all laws regulating the same. The nomina tion of the president, as in the recent republican convention, by delegations composed largely of hiB appointees, holding office at his pleasure, is a scandalous satire upon free popular institu tions and a startling illustration of the methods by which a president may gratify his ambition. We denounce the policy under which Federal office-holders usurp the control of party conven tions in states, and pledge the democratic party to reform these and all other abuses which threaten individual liberty and local self government. OUR FOREIGN POLICY. The democratic party is the only party that has ever given the country foreign policy consist ent and vigorous, compelling respect abroad and inspiring confidence at home, while avoiding entangling alliances. It has aimed to cultivate friendly relations with other nations and es pecially with the neighbors in the American continent, whose destiny is closely linked with our own, and we view with alarm tiie tendency of a policy of irritation and bluster, which is liable at any time to confront us with the alter native of humiliation or war. THE NAVY. We favor the maintenance of a navy strong enough lor all purposes of national defense and to properly maintain the honor and dignity of the country abroad. SYMPATHY FOR OTHERS. This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed from every land, exiles for conscience' sake and the spirit of the founders of our gov ernment. We condemn the oppression prac. ticed by the Russian government upon Jewish subjects, and call upon the national government, in the interest of Justice and humanity, by all just and proper means, to use its prompt and best efforts to bring about a cessation of these cruel persecutions of the czar, and to secure to the oppressed equal right. We tender our pro found and earnest sympathy to those lovers of freedom who are struggling tor home rule and the great cauBe of local self-government for Ire land. I'NUKKIRABLB IMMIGRATION. We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being used as a dumping-ground for the known criminals and professional paupers of Europe, and demand a rigid enforcement of the laws against Chinese immigration, and the importation of foreign workmen under contract, to degrade American labor and lessen its wages, but we condemn and denounce any aud nil attempts to restrict the immigration of the Industrious and worthy of foreign lands. THE FENHION LAWS. Tills convention hereby renews its expression of appreciation of the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of the Union in the war for its preserva tion, and Uvor just and liberal pensions for all disabled Union soldier, their widows and all de pendents, but we demand that the work of the pension office shall be done industriously, fur partially and honestly. We denounce the pre ent administration as incompetent, corrupt.dis graceful aud dishonest. THE RIVEK IMPROVEMENT. The Federal government should care for and improve the Mississippi river and other great waterways of the republic, so as to secure for the interior of the states easy and cheap transporta tion to tide watT. W"hn Hiy waterway is of sufficient public Importance to demand aid of the government, that such aid be extended on a definite plan for continuous work until the -permanent improvement is secured. THE NICARAGUA CANAL. For the support of the national defense and the promotion of commerce between states we rec ognize that the early construction of the Nioai ogua canal and its protection against foreign control as being of great importance to tho Uul." ted States. THE WOULD' FAIR. Recognizing the World's Columbian Exposition ttBanatiot.nl undertaking of vast importance, in which the general government has invited the co-operation of all the powers of ttie world and appreciating the acceptance by many such powers of the invitation so extended, uua the broad and liberal efforts being made by them , to contribute to the grandeur of the undertak ing, we are of the opinion that congress should . make such necessary financial provisions as shall be requisite to the maintenance of the na tional honor and public faith. POPULAR EDUCATION Being the only safe basis of popular suffrage, we recommend to the several states the most liberal appropriation for public schools. Free eommou schools are the nurseries of good gov ernment, aud have always received the foster ing care of the democratic party, which favors every means of increasing intelligence. Free dom of education, being essential to civil relig ious liberty as well as necessary fnr the devel opment of intelligence, must not be interfered with under any pretext whatever. We are op posed to state interference with parental rightb and the rights of conscience iu the education ol children us an infringement of the fundamental democratic doctrine that the largest Individual liberty consistent with rights insures the high est type of American citizenship and the best government. ADMISSION OI1' NEW STATES. We approve the action of the present house of representatives in passing bills ioi admisslon in to the Union us states of the territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and favor the early admis sion of all territories having the necessary pop ulation and resources to entitle them to state hood, and while they remain territories, we hold that the officials appointed to administer the government of any territory, together with the District of Columbia and Alasks, should be bona fide residents of the territory or district in which their duties are to be performed. The democratic party believes in home rule and the control of their own affairs by tho people of the vicinity. TO PREVENT RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. We favor legislation by congress and state legls liition to protect the lives and limbs of railway employes und those of other hazardous trans portation companies, and denounce the inactiv ity of the republican party, aud particularly the republicans of the senate, for causing the defeat of measures beneficial and protective to this class of wageworkers. THE SWEATING SYSTEM. We favor the enactment by the statesof biws for abolishing the notorious sweating system, for abolishing contract convict lubor, and pro hibiting the employment, in factories of children under fifteen yearB of aj. We oppose, all sump tuary laws bs Interference with the individual rightB of citizens. Upon this statement of principles and policies the democratic party asks the intelligent judg ment of the American people. It asks a change ul administration and a change "of 'party in order tli at there may be a change of system and u change of methods, thus insuring u maintenance unimpaired of tho institutions under which the republic lias grown great and powerful. Keal of Ohio moved to strike out the section In the tariff plank preceding the denunciation of McKinley, and substitute tho following: We denounce tlte republican protection as a fraud upon the labor of a great majority of tho American people for the benefit of a few. W declare it to be the fundamental principle of the democratic party that tho federal government has no constitutional power to impose and col lect tariff duties, except for the purpose of reve nue only, and we demand the collection of such taxes shull be limited to the necessities of tins government honestly and economically admin istered. The substitute was adopted by a vote ol" ;Vd to m. NKWcSPAPKIt OPINION. Olympia Tribune; Two powerful speeches in the United States senate from Allen anil Squire for the Lake WaHhing tou canal townsite booming scheme and a few words only to open the Columbia river from the British border to the sea would seem to indicate something. Portland Telegram: Governor Pennoy er still scouts the idea that he will be nominated for president at Omaha, but be is careful not to say ponmvely that he would not accept the nomination. He would be by lone odds the strongest candidate the people's party could put out. Dalles Chronicle: It seemn unfair to charge every appropriation for the Co lumbia river to Oregon, and then claim that the cream of the Inland Empire lies in Idaho and Washington. The Colum bia would have been an open river years ago only for such monkey business as that. The democracy is bringing forward a candidate who was beaten four years ago upon his own record and upon an iswue deliberately chosen by him.. Thought ful men will at once consider in what respect, if any, he is stronger than he was when he was beaten. The record of his adtniniHtration has not been changed. Mr. Cleveland has written a letter on the silver question which renders him wf-ak-er iu the Western states than he wan then, while it does not strengthen him in the East, u gainst President Harrison, whose views on the same question arb nr. sound as bis own. N. Y. Tribune iltep.) It is tbo first time a candidate b"uton at the polls has been re-nominated, and that, too, against the very antagonist who defeated him. This hazardous experiment the rHpublioatis refused to enter upon at Minneaoolis when Mr. Blaine was brought forward with so much enthusiasm. It was the first time that a nomination whs given to a candi date who eutwied the convention without a single delegate from his own state in favor of him, but, on the other hand, with its solid delegation of 72 pledged against him, and that state the one in the Onion whose electoral vote is essoutial. With Cleveland on one side and Harri son on the other, we shall huvn an ititor eetiug Hud unique campaign. Both have been president. Hud the admiuietratiou of each has been disapproved by the country Mr. Cleveland's when the peo pie refused to re-elect him four years ago, aud Mr. Harrisou's wheu republican extravagance, pensiou abuses. McKinley prices aud other evils of republican mis rule were condemned at tho polld in 1890 by h popular protest that made the houee democratic aud Hounded the knell of the republioun majority in the senate N. Herald (Dem.) East Uregoniau: Dr. N. Or. Bhilook of Walla Walla is prominently mentioued as a candidate on the deuiouuitio ticket for govornor of Washiuifton. We do not know any one who comes nearer being in ideal democratic candidate than Dr. Blalock. He is an honest mau, a worker, t pusher, a man who goes ahead aud keeps ahead. He is progressive, he is dnterprirjing. he id far-seeing and a helper of his fellow-man, not through charity only, but by his works. He lives and thrives by his productive and cre ative energies. He has not a drop of the blood of the parasite iu him, and so many candidates for office are overflowing with if, greatly to the injury of the people. It cannot be denied that Air. Clove- land's nomination must be attributed to the sincere und powerful sentiment of the mosses ot bis party, and not at all to the political managers. The fact is that the managers, where they dared, were against his nomination. Up to the mo ment when delegates from all parts of the Union began to arrive in Chicago, there was not the faintt-st semblance of a "Cleveland machine." That is to say, there was nothing like a preconcerted nstional movement by skilllul and in terested meu to create a manifest eeuti' ment in favor of his nomination. The nomination was made, aud made iu a manner that established beyond all doubt a degree of oouHdeuce in Air, Cleveland, of au eager aud resolute de sire for his leadership, that is absolutely without precedent iu party history iu this generation. N. V. Times (Ind.) We tender the uasurauco of our ad miring salutations to William Colline Whitney, the cleverest politician of tlte day. The democratic party of this state has made a grand aud determined light against the third nomination of Orover Cleveland,,, They have presented facts and arguments which had convinced Ihem that if hw oAndiamy should Je adopted by tho oouveutuu: ie ' con sequences invr't he diaasb'O anJ for. the present fatal to life doniocrir-ic cause. But no sane man has ever doubted that the chiefs of thin great and victorious party (victorious we mean in the- state Of New York), having taken their places as delegates in the convention and Hiibmit ted their views to its consideration, would loyally abide by its decision and do their utmost to elect whatsoever can didate it might finally determine to nom inate. All honor to tho iinllinching und noble delegation of New York democrats at Chiougo. All honor to that unquali fied democrat, that faithful and fearless politician, that Huoocsriful champion, D. B. Hill, the only statesman of the democracy possessing the courage aud spirit to oiler himself as a leader against the claim to a third nomination set up for a once donated aspirant." N. Y. Hun ami) Our relations with Hawaii have bmn slightly perturbed, but the clouds have blown over and we are again on friendly terms with the island kiugdom. As in the case with tho lute unpleasantness with Chili, the trouble was largely due to the impolitic conduct of our oonsul. Mr. Htevens, the American represeiitati e, made a speech ou Decoration Day, in whieu he made unfavorable comparison between the United States and the king dom of Hawaii. The latter government passed a resolution censuring the United States consul All good democrats will be relieved to know that the obnoxious resolution has been retracted. If Mr, 27 Difference The "Royal" the Strongest and Purest Baking Powder. Whether any oilier baking powder is equal to "Royal," let the official reports decide. When the different powders were purchased on the open market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the New-York Board of I lealth, the result showed that Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven per cent, greater strength than any other brand.
