INDIANAPOLIS, June 26.---The
platform has the following: ave in.
sist that Federal taxes be reduced tc
the lowest point consistent with eff
cheney in the public service, and we
demand a revision and reform of the
present unjust tariff. The Constitu-
ton of the United States, which is
the only source Of the taxing power.
conferred upon Congress the right to
establish tarff for revenue, and as a
just exercise Of that power we favor
such an ad justment Of its provisions
within the revenue standard as will
relieve, as far as possible, the neces-
saries of life from the burdens of taxa
ton, and derive the principal amount
Of revenue for the support Of the
Government economically admins
tered from luxuries, and such tariff
should be adjusted without favoritism,
so as to prevent monopolies,and thus,
in effect, promote labor ard the in
terest Of the laboring people"
The name of Mcdonald is present
ed fer President, and delegates in
structed to vote for him as unit.
Discussion on the temperance ques-
ton was in favor of standing faith
fully by the rights of property and
personal liberty guaranteed by the
Constitution, but with distinct
declaration in favor Of sobriety and
temperance, and all proper means for
the promotion Of those virtues. The
license system was suggested as bet
ter than extreme measures, which sub
vert personal liberty, bring law into
disrepute, and make people sneaks
and hypocrites.
