THE N. Y. Tribune gives three of the resolu-
tlons passed by the Democratic Convention of
Ohio, and answers them as follows:
ResOlced That the exemption from tax of over
g. 800 0O0, 900 Government bonds and securities
Is unjust to the people, and ought not to be
tolerated. and that we are opposed to any ap-
propr iation for the payment Of the inte rest on
the public bonds until they are made sub bect to
taxation.
ReSolce8 That the claims of the bOndholders
that the bonds which were bought with gree n
backs, and the principal which Is by law paya
bic In currency, should nevertheless be paid in
gold, is unjust AMI extortlonate, and II per-
sisted In, viii inevitably force upon the p eople
the question ofrepudiatiOn.
Resoleed That we denounce the high Pro
tectiyo TarlH, which was designed only in the
interests OF the NcW-EagldRd manufacturers:
that said tariff Is also, by It's enormous imposl-
tions ON salt, sugar, tea, coffee, and the neces-
sares OF He uncomfortable and oppressive, es-
pecially upon the people of the West aud that
we demand Its repeal and the substitution of
another based upon revenue principles lone,
upon the closest possible approximation to abb
soue free trade.
