THE l'lA'.TOlill.
The following is that portion cf the dem
ocratic platform, adopted at Sc. Louii.ber-
ing upon the reduction of the surplus and
the revision and reduction of the tariff :
In every branch and department of the
government under democratic control, ti c
rights and welfare of all the people hive
been guarded and defended. Every public
interest has been protected and the equali
ty of all our citizens before the law without
regard to race or color lias been steadfastly
maintained.
Upon its record thus exhibited and upon
the pledge of a continuance to the people
of the benefits of democracy, it invokes a
renewal of the popular trust by the re-elec-
tion of a chief magistrate who has been
faithful, able and prudent. It invokes in
addition to that 'rust, the transfer also to
the democracy of the entire legislative
powe'. The republican party controlling
the Senate and existing in both houses of
Cong -ess, prevents the reformation of .he
unjust and unequal tax laws which have
Outlasted the necessities of war and are now
undermining the abundance of a long peace,
and denies to the people equality before the
law, and the fairness and justice which are
their rights.
The cry of American labor for a better
share in the rewards of industry is stil
stifled with false pretenses. Enterprise is
fettered and bound down to the same mar
ket,and the capitalist is discouraged with
oubt,
The democratic party will continue, with
all the power confirmed to it, the struggle
to reform these laws, in accordance with
the pledges of its last platform endorsed at
the ballot box by the suffrages of the people,
Of all the industrious free men of our land,
the immense majority (including every let
ter of the sca'efgain no advantage from ex-
cessive a laws, but the price of nearly
everything they buy is increased by a fa
voritism of an unequal system of tax legis
lation.
All unnecessary taxation Is unjust taxa
tion. It is repugnant to the creed of dem
ocracy that by euchiaxation the cost efthe
necessaries of life should be already un
justly increased to all our people. Judged
by democratic principles, the interests of
the people a. e buried when,by unnecessary
taxation, trusts and combinations nrc per
mitted to exist, which, while unduly en
riching a few, combine to rob the body of
our c't'zens by depriving them of the ben
efits of national competition.
Every democratic rule of governmental
action is violated when, through unneces
sary taxation, a vr.-t sum of money, far be
yond the needs of an economical adminis
tration, is drawn from the people and the
channels of trade, and the wealth accumu
lated as a demoralizing surplus in the na
tioral treasury. The money now lying idle
in the federal t-easury resulting from super
fluous tixa'on nmounts to more than one
hundred and twenty-five millions, and the
surplus collected is reaching the sum of
more than sixty millions annually.
Debauched by this immense temptation,
the remedy of the republican paity is to
meet and exhaust by extravagant appro
priations and expenses, whether constitu
tional or not, the accumulation of extrava
gant taxation.
The democratic policy is to enforce fru
gality In public expense and abolish un
necessary legislation.
Our established domestic industries and
enterprises should not, and need, not. be en
dangered by the reduction and correction
of I lie burdens of taxation.
On the contrary a fair and careful rcvi
sion of our tax laws, with due allowance
for the difference between the wages of
America and foreign labor, must promote
and encourage every branch of such indus
tries and enterprise by giving them the as
surance of an extended market and the
steady and continued operations and Inter
ests of Amer'cui labor.which should in no
event be neg'ectcd.
The revision of our tax laws contemplat
ed by the democratic party should promote
the advantage of such labor by cheapening
the cost of the necessaries of life in the
home of every work'ng man, at the same
time securing to him steady anil remunera
tive employment.
I pon t!-'s question of tariff reform, so
closely concerning every phrase of our na
tional life, ."'id upon every question Invol
ved in the problem of good govermcnt the
democratic party submitsitspriiicipltsand
profesions to the intelligent suffrages of
the American people.
Hut In making reduction in taxes it is not
propofed to in jure any domestic indust
ries, but rather to promote their hcalthv
growth, l'ram the foundation ot t s Gov
eminent, taxes collected at the Custom
House have been the chief source of Ked-
eral revenue. Such they must coin nue u
be. Moreover, many industries have come
to rely upon legislation for successful con
tinuance, so that any change ot law must
be at every step regardful of the labor anu
capital thus involved. The process of rc
fo m must be subject, in hc execution, to
this plain dic'ate of justice. A'l ta-ation
shall be Imiited to the requirements of ec
onomical government. The necessary re
duction in taxation can and must beeffect-
rt.t -tti,m,t .1 ii-ivlnif American labo. cf
Lhe ability to compete sucssfully with for-
ci"n labor, and without imposing lower
rates of dutv than will be ample to cover
any increased cor.t of produC'on which
mav exist in consequence ot the li'ner ran.
of wages prevailing in this country.
Sufficient revenue to pay all the e--pe..se of
the Federal Goverment economically ad-
minstratcd, Including pensions and interest
and principal of the public debt, can be get
under our present system of taxal on, l.om
Custom House taxes on fewer impor'ed ar
ticles, bearing heaviest on articlesof luxury
and bearing lightest on articles of no-es
We therefore denounce the abuses of
the existing tariff, and, subject to the pre
ceeding limitations, we demand that Fr:dpl
taxation shall be exclusively for public
purposes, and shall not exceed the needs
of the Government economically admin
ctrated.
The system of direct taxa'ion known, r
the "internal revenue is a war tax, and, so
longasthe law continue!, the money de
lved thcrefr-im should be sac-edly dc
voted to the rel'-f of the people from the
remaining bur jens of the war and be made
a fund to defray the expe.ioe of the care
and comfort of worth! r soldiers disabled in
the line of duty in the wars of the republic
and for the payment of such pe.isions as
Congress may from time 10 t'me grant to
such soldiers, a like fund for the sai'ors
haying been already provided and any su
plus sho lid be paid into the treasury.
To the Thinking People of Albany
Friends : Inasmuch as this is the day
and age of sensational advertising and every
business man is racking his brain trying to
concoct some scheme whereby he can get
atiead of his neighbor. We wish to deviate
rom that rule and make the fallowing state
ments, knowing that they will be appre
ciated by all lovers of truth and justice. W
are here In business for the purpose of
making money and we realize that in order
to accomplish that object we must have
continuance of our large patronage. Furth
ermore we know that this can be assured
only by extreme effort on our part and w
wish to state that we will at all times giv
you hrst-class goods at prices as low
lower than any house in Albany and inad-
dit'on allow you 5 per cent off on all cash
purchases. The statement made by some
dealers that tlicv can buy cheaper tha
others is folly in the extreme as all cash
buyers have equal advantages one with an
other. What we are striving to do Is to
merit, your patronage and we hope by
square, upright dealing to do so and he 01
mutual benefit one to ano.ker.
