HOW THE PUBLIC CREDIT SHALL BE SUSTAINED
We demand judicious system OF prepare
ton. by public economic 5, by official rctrench-
ments, and by wise fnaE cial system, which
shall tnab.e the nation soon to assure the
whole Wofld OF its .perfectability and its ,pt r.
feet readiness to meet any Of It's promises at
the call Of the creditor entitled to payment.
We believe such system shbuld be Well de-
vised, and. above ali, intrusted 10 competent
hands for execution, creating at no time
tidcial scarcity Of currency and at no time
aiarhlne the pubic mind into a withdrawal
of that vast machinery o. credit by " hich 80

TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY
We denounce the present tariff levied upon
nearly T. geo articles as "a masterpiece Of iuius-
tlce, inequality and false pretence. 1t Yields
dwlndlng, not yearly rising revenue. 1t has
impoverished many indus ries to subsidize
few. It prohibits imports that might pur-
chase the products Of American labor;
II has degraded commerce from the
first to an inferior rank on the high
seas; Il has cut down the sale OF American
manufact 4rers at home ind abroad ana Lepiet-
Cd the returns OF American agriculture al in
