Richard r. .Mrrick: The Fundamental
doctrine Of Democracy was that til,
world was governed too much. It's fun
damental principle was that, in rcferenc,
10 all industrial pursuits, man should b,
left TO honest competition, without Gov,
ernment favor upon ore or Government
damage TO another.
Henry IIdtterson Protection, like sla.
very, is doomed only, unlike slavery il
will not liDger 50 long upon the stage to
battle freemen and stay in the march oi
freedom. II cannot become a sectional.
ist. rs slavery did; it cannot get into
religion, as slavery did. Yet il is as
monstrous in every respect as slavery
was.
Jcrc 5. BMck: If the States have no
rights, neither have the people, since
both are reserved in the same article, the
same sentence, and the same words. The
denial Of State rights necessarily strips
every individual Of hi, liberty Thus
We have Central Government o! uc.
limited power, animated as such gov
ernmcnt always must he with bOundlc>5
appetite for plunder
.Srmuct j. 7Ihicn: Andrew Jackson
likewise represented the benciicent JEFF
fersonian philosophy which pr lcr- that
nothing shall be done By the General
Government which the local authorities
are competent TO do, and nothing by any
governmental power which individuals
can do for themselves. The great con-
tests of his Administration arose out of
his efforts 10 resist the usurpation by
Congress Of powers in derogation Of the
rights Of localities and Of individuals, rs
we'll as of the Constitution.
7HomGs 4. Xendricks. II is madness
to hope that a consolidated and single
authority can maintain peaceful govern
ment over country so extended, and
with productions and interests 80 varied
II we but maintain the constitutional
authority Of the United States, and to
preserve 10 each State the right 10 regu-
late whatever belongs to itself alone, We
need fear no troubles arising from see
tional jealOusies and antagoDisIn, how
ever much our territory may be extended
or our productions increased
Frank Hurd:. The freer the trade the
greater the market. Let the barriers be
broken down, and let the ocean be free,
and in less than ten years one-half Of
the trade monopolized by England would
be Americas. Free trade and higher
wages went hand in hand. In Massa-
chusetts woolen mill worker received
$3.50 for sixty hours work; in England
IS for thirty six hours. Consider all the
time during which American workers
had been idle during the pas, few years,
and it would be seen that the English
worker was better Off In free America
we had free speech, free press, free soil
and free men, and should we not have
free trade? Let Democracy fling out the
banner. Thousands would then join its
ranks. The growing generation were
being educated to the great need of the
country, and would infuse the old blood
with new enthusiasm.
Thomas T.. Bayard: AS members OF
the grand army of the National Democ.
racy, let us each and all cndcavor, with
simple and steady fidelity, to uphold the
political principles which alone preserve
the liberty and happiness of our people
and maintain government over them
giving security TO all, and special powers
and privileges to none. Let us steadily
oppose all measures tending to the cen
tralization of power, and insis. upon its
Limitation and distribution, so that ndi.
viduals and minorities may be secure in
their rights. Let us dcnounce any con.
structiOn of the Constitution that per-
mits the perversion and prostitution OF
the sovereign powers Of taxation fsom
the actual needs Of the public treasury
to the emOlumcnt of favored individuals
or classes, no matter under what deisive
pretext it may be sought; and while we
see to it that property shall have ample
protection under the law, that it shall be
prevented from becoming the governing
power in molding the law
Lyman TrumbuH: He held that the
Constitution was supreme, anu even in
times Of civil war was not imperative
He condemned the policy Of collecting
immense revenues aud sluandering them
upon local improvement and for the hire
of municipal officials. The expenditure.
Of the Government were cxorbitant II
was proposed to appropriate $50, 100000
for schools, which was more than the
amounted to few years ago. Ther
all the little creeks in the country woulc
seemingly, than to use up the revenues
He condemned the President for using
the army MS police force, and predicted
that i'll y few years this Government
would be like European Towers regard
ing standing armies. He believed il
self.governmcnt, and that meant govern
ment by the people, and local govern
mcnt meant government by the people
of locality. This was Rcpublicanism
and to deny it WAS Imperialism. The
speaker then announced that he was foi
tariff for revenue only.
