thigh tarfites in the conyention had inst
influence enough to fasten to the resolu-
ton the words "while securing to our
home producers lair competition with
foreign capital and labor" Without this |
surplusage, the resolution is sound ana
/ eorrecf, though poorly worded. 81 -
AS parry platform, it would be thou
sands OF votes stronger without, than
witifythe absurd aailpiece fastened to it. |
It is Clear from reading of the resolu,
dion, that the p-eponderipg sentiment
Of the convention was in favor of the
fevemme tariff only, aud was opposed to
Congre~ ional legislation for the benefits |
OF one class at The expense OF another
but. in order o soften the fall of the
ncwly elected Senator, Judge Wrighf,l
whose Nlete rpf II January needed a |
cushion Of Some sort, the cOnventionl
foolishly consented to stulifv themselves
and misrepresent The interests and sentl-
ments cfthe masses of the people of Iowa.

"a tariff for revenue only, on free.tradel
principles"

Congress in that state" We claim ma

The Illinois Republicans in convention
declared as-fdlews = Resolged, That as
taxa ion isR rpecuniaFy burden imposed
by public authority on the property of
the people for the maintenance of gov
eminent, the payment of its debts and
the promotion of the general welfare,
Congress ought not to tax the substance
or the earnings of the citizen for any 9th
er purpose than above indicated, and
that il is wrongful and oppressive to en-
act revenue laws for the special advant-
age of one branch of business at the ex.

defiant lprotectionjst," there were not
1protectionists enough in the convention
