New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-07-11
orr STATE PLATFOR.W.

The financial planks in the platform or the
Republican Convention OF the State Of New
York are worthy OF careful and repeated pc
rusal:
Resolred That We demand from the General Govern.
ment pure and economical administration Of the public
affairs the less4nng Of taxation the prompt collection of
the revenue the reduction OF the army aud navy, less
prodga management Of the public funds and as rapidly
as consistent with the burdens resting upon
turn specie payments that especially demand such
development of the commercial, manufacturing agricu
tura and mining interests will enable us to increase
our public wealth. and thus easily pay our National
debt.
Resousd That the honor OF the American peOpleasdear
20 us now as when welcomed death and sorrow de-
tense OF the the payment Of National
Obligations according their letter and spirit and that
we regard any attempt repudang these contracts or
evadng Their payment dishonoung in the eyes OF
mankind, and a crime against the national honor only
surpassed by the crime OF treason itself
The people would save by carrying out the
above platform in good faith fifty per cent on
the whole amount of our present annual taxa
ton. A pre- administration of the National
Revenue department alone would save in the
collection Of the taxes on whisky and tobacco,
and in preventing frauds in the Custom Houses,
at least eighty millions of dollars. An ecOnOm-
zeal administration of the Government implies
the speedy restoration of the Southern States
to the Union under their present Governments,
thus ending all special military expenses there,
and reducing the army and navy TO peace
footing. All this would save at least thirty
millions of dollars per annum. On the con-
trary, the platform of the Democratic party,
and the declared policy of Seymour and
Blair is to keep the South under military gov
ernments for the next five years, until they
can (perhaps) get Democratic Congress- and
then destroy the present State Governments
and organize new ones on the white vote
only. Such fresh revolution would increase
our present military expenses at the
South and elsewhere by at least S5O,OOO,OOO a
year. 1t might very naturally result in another
war, which would double our National debt
and plunge the country into a condition of
anarchy, of which no statesman could foresee
the end and no financier predict the expense
The NewYork platform makes these demands
a reason for electing Grant, because no man
can doubt that the same steadfast attention to
