= democrats lsIsSs desirine the perm.-
nent welfare of the country we win use
oil honorable means to secure their snccdss.
And although federalism in 1910, like The
pestilt NAL breath from the desert; swept
over the land, and seemed buf foo likely to
leave its blighting influences upon us and
our posterity in the calamities Of debt and
taxation, artificial restrictions, state oppres-
sion, and that long train Of evils CONSEQUENT
upon the administration Of party, that rel
CARDS the government as superior 10 and
independent Of the people, and erecting Of
privileged classes and Communities. to b.
alone benefited by Legislative action; vet
have We confidence that the people are
and viii remain essentially democratic,
true to their own interests and to freedom.
Be Y further Resolued, That we cherish
eternal hostility to federal measures and
principles in every shape and finder what
svef form or ndms they may assume: to
Banking CORPORATIONS, either national or
State; to high protective tariff; to that
ubiquitous measure the assumption Of the
State debts by the general government, to
that latitudinarian constructor, Of the con-
stitution ofthe Utiion given by our federal
opponents, which tends to the consolidation
Of power in the hands of the general gov
ernmeht at the expense Of State sovereign
ty; to the distribution of the proceeds Of
the sales Of the public lands, which is in
effect extracting money from the. pockets
OF the hardy pioneers of the west, who
have suffered all the hardships and priva-
tons incident to frontier life, and benefit
ed government by those hardships and pri-
vatlons, and transferring it to the pockets
OF those who have never thus suffered and
benefited government; to costly and ex-
pensive administration of government; 10 d
large naval and military force in time OF
peace; and all and every other measure
federal in its character and obnoxious to
the censure Of true democrats. I.
Be It further Resoluei, That we APP
prove Of and support economy and re-
trenchment in the expenditures of govern
ment, moderate and judicious military
and naval establishment in time Of peace;
a divorce Of the monied from the political
power; tariff based on revenue princi-
Piles afording such incidental protection al
it may; State SO, ereignty as guaranteed By
the constitution; the appropriation Of the
nett proceeds Of the sales of the public
lands to national purposes; in word q
policy Of government securing peace, pros
perity and tranquility at home, and indie.
pendent IF all foreign influence and con.
troll.
Be ii further Resolved, That the veto
power in the constitution Of State il
wise and salutary, and highly necessary t
protect the people from hurried and i'm.
provident legislation
/ BE it further Resolved, That the act re.
