civil service. What was meant by This? Ii
meant lmpartiality in appointments and fidelity

these evils VIII you trust il? NO, no. The
Republicans were trying to make the people
believe the Democracy if it secured power
would inaugurate free trade. That statement
was not true. The Democratic party was not in
favor of free trade. 1t had always favored
raising a revenue for the Government by means
of tariff. What the party did claim was that
the amount of tariff being collected should be
reduced The Democratic point was that the
tariff should be reduced to the wants of the
Government economically administered. IN
support of this they had the words of no less
high an authority than President Arthur.
The Republican party was collecting So, 600 600

The points in the Democratic tariff plank were
First taxation must be limited to the needs of

Second, taxation must be Tor public purposes

exercised not to niuTe the interests of labor and
capital interested. Fourth, in levying taxes
