| ognized to present the report of the
| COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM
and the accompanying resolutions. He
! began to read and was listened to with
| great attention, but silence inside of the
| Convention was seriously disturbed by
the shouts from the tSroats of thousands
in front of the building as q bulletin
announced that it was possible ballot

General Butler arose to present
| minority report at the conclusion OF
MIR. Morrison's reading.
THE MINORITY REPORT
may be summarized as follows: 1. That
no taxes, direct or indirect, can be right
fully imposed upon the people, except to
meet the expenses of an economically adj
ministered Government. 2. That the reve-
nue. necessary for the Ordinary expenses
of the Government should be raised by
| customs duties upon imports. 3. That
all materials used in arts and manufact-
| ures and the necessities of life not pro-
duced in this country shall come in free,
and that all articles of luxury should be
| taxed as high as possible up to the COL
lection point. 4. That in opposing Gus
toms duties the law must De carefully
adjusted to promote American enterprise
| and Industries, not to create mOnopo-
| lies, and to cherish aud foster
American labor. 1t provides further
| that labor has right to demand of the
Government to establish tribunals in
| which the great controversies arising be-
| tween labor and capital, which may lead
to a revolution, may be judicially and
justly determined with the fullest power
to enforce their DEGREES, and that labor
has right to demand just share of the
profits of its own productions. 1t views
| with alarm the absorption of public lands
by corporations and individuals, and de-
mands' of Congress to apply appropriate
remedies with stern hand, so that the
lands OF the people may be held by the
many and not by the few.
