created by loans is not a permanent or
safe reliance. It will suffice while It
lasts, but it cannot'last long while the
outlays of the government arc greater
than its recelps as.has been tho case
during the pafct two years. Nor must
ltfbe forgotten that however much
such loans may temporarily relievo the
situation, tho government is still In
debted for the amount of surplus thus
accrued, while it must ultimately pay.

ment or Its credit, but a failure, to

justification.
' "The best way for the government
to maintain its credit is to pay as it
Roes not by resorting to loans, but by.
keeping out of debt through an ade

taxation, external or internal, oi both.
TARIFF REVISION NECESSARY.
"It Is the settled policy of the kov
ernornment, pursued from the begin
ning and practiced by all parties and
administrations, to raise tho bulk of
revenue from taxes upon foreign pro
ductions entering the United States
fdr sale and consumption; and avoid
ing for tho nipst- part every form of
direct taxation, exceptlntlme of war,
The county is clearly opposed to any
needless additions to the subjects of
Internal taxation, and is committed
by Its latest popular utteranpcs.to the
system of tariff taxation. There can
be no misunderstanding, either, about
the principle, upon which this tariff
taxation shall be leyicd.
"Nothing has ever been made
plainer at a general election than that
the controlling principle in .the rais
ing of revenue on ImporWDf zealous
care for American interests and
American labor is wished. The peo
ple have declared that sucU legislation
should be had as will give ample pro
tectlon and encouragement to the In
dustries and development of our
country. It Is therefore earnestly
hoped and expected that congress will
at.the earliest practicable moment en
act revenue legislation that shall be
fair, reasonable, conservative and
Just, and which wnuesuppiymg sumo
lent revenue for'public purposes, will
still be signally beneficial and helpfu
fo j every section and every enterprise
of the people. To this policy we are
all. of whatever party, firmly bound
by th'e'vplce of the pcopte a power
vastly more potentlnl tlian the ox
prcHsIon of any political plqtforru.
The paramount duty of congress Is to
stop deficiencies by the restoration of
thut protective legislation which has
always been the Hrmest prop or the
treasury. The passage of such a law
or laws would strengthen the credit of
the government, both at home and
abroad, and go far toward stopping
the drain upon the gold reserve, lield
for the redemption of our currency,
which has been -heavy and well-nigh
constant for several years.
RECIPROCITY TREATIES
"In the revision of the tariff, spec
ial attention 8jiould bo rflvcn to the
re-enactment and extension of the
reciprocity principle of tho law. of
1890, under which great stimulus was
given to our foreign trade In ncwind
advantageous nmrkcts for our surplus
agricultural and manufactured pro
ducts. The brier trial glvm.tllls leg

years has fallen with especial severity
upon the gicat body of producers, and
upon none moro than the holders of
small farms. Agriculture has Ian-
gulahed and labor suffered. Tho tc 1-
val of manufacturing will be a relief
to both. No portion of our people Is
more devoted to thc Institutions of
free government, nor more l(iyal In
ineir support,, wuue uone owrs more
iriirrt'ri;
better entitled to Its wise and liberal
care and protection. Legislation
helpful to producers is reneflclal to
all. Thc depressed condition of In-

factories has lessened tho ability of
the people to meet the demands upon
them, and they rightfully expect that

or John II. Mitchell had prevented
said Nosier from appearing before the

of said caucus as officers ofsald house,
on violation of law and custom and. the ,,,.

Whereas, thereafter on the morning
of tho 22" day of Janurary, 1897, the " (

and employment of -armed thugs
to dissolve and destroy thc tempor

Illegal and unconstitutional, and
Whereas, All tho political parties ln,
their platforms had promised cer

Whereas, All tho undersigned mem

were and are of tho opinion that tho
purported permanent organization of
the house, called the Benson house
was unconstitutional and illegal, and
not for the purposes of legislation,
but was solely In the interest of tho
re-election of John H. Mitchell to the
United States senate, and that all
legislation would bo. subordinated to
that end, and that it would not result
In tho fulfillment of tho aforesaid
promises nor any of them, and
Whereas, Every act of said pre

purpose and wholly In tho interest of
the re-election of John IT. Mitchell
to tho United States senate, In proof
ot which are the facts that although
tbey claim their pretended organiza

they never appointed their commit-,

remedial, economic or otherwise, no'r
ever attempted (o compel the atten
