WHEREAS, very small minority ol
Democratic Representatives in tho pres.

selves from their own party and uniting
with the Republican Representatives to
defeat the Morrison Bill to reduce the
tariff on imports, and in this not only
opposed the convictions of very large
msjority of their own party associates
but in our judgment, and as we believe
in the Judgment of the mass of Demo
cratic voters, autagonized the true prin'
ciples of Democratic government and the
real interests of the people, by contribu.
ting their votes and influence in uphold
irg protective tariff and by withhold
ing their support of measure that aimed
at reduction Of taxation and the gradu'
al adoption Of tariff for revenue only
| Therefore, be it
Resolued, That in our Judgment, tho
issue thus inaugurated should be trans
