Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1886-10-23

States we are without an authoritative rule
which might otherwise relieve the question
of its present embarrassing complications,
and this subject requires OF our Legislature
and Executive most careful and deliberate
action. The gravity of this matter puts it
on q plane above the range of party poll
tics, and demands the serious attention of
the best-thinking people of the State. In
this respect and in all others, we favor
equal and Just taxation for the maintenance
of the Government, and affirm that all
should pay full share of the public taxes
fairly due and in accordance with the broad
principles of equity.
Iv.-vITIcULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.
Resolucd, That the prosperity of our viii
cultural and horticultural industries is of
paramount importance to this State. In
order to encourage their rapid improve
ment and freer expansion of trade IN
domestic and foreign markets, to prevent
unjust discrimination in favor of foreign
products, a revision of the internal revenue
laws and amendments to the tariff are de-
manded as of immediate necessity TO our
people, and the Legislature should, by suit-
able legislation, provide for the effective
determination of all fruit pests.
v.-HARBoR DEFENsEs.
Resolred, That the Republican party earn
estly urges upon the Federal Government
the immediate necessity of fortifying the
principal seaports of the nation in such a
manner as to protect the national honor
and the property and territory of the peo-
pie from foreign invasion.
U-THE WOOL INTEREST.
We demand in behalf of the great wool
growing interest of our State a restoration
of the wool tariff of 1867, and denounce
the recent attempt of the Democratic ma
iority in the national House of Represent
atives to pass the Morrison bill reducing
tariff duties and placing wool on the free
list.
vII-THE PRESENT STATE ADMINISTRATION.
We denounce the present State Admins
| tration as most wasteful and incompetent.
Its weakness, extravaganza and vacillating
policy has brought reproach upon the fair
| fame of California.
vIII.-EXTRA SESSION.
We recognize the great truth that no
government can be republican in form I'M
less the three OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ju-
dicial and executive-are separate and
| independent, the one from the other. We
declare that the calling of an extra session
of the Legislature for the purpose OF re-
versing a decision of the Supreme Court of
this country that the policy which die
/ tated it was un-American and revolution
airy, and that no words of censure can ade-
quately characterize this attempt to destroy
the independence of coordinate branch
of the Government.
The Republican party submits its platform
and lis candidates to the intelligence and
the patriotism of the people, and invoke to
their support all, without regard to past
utilization, who desire just laws, good gov
eminent, peace and security. True to its
mission, it will bring to the solution of the
important subjects involved broad, states
manlike and equitable methods. Born to
protect human rights, it never can be
brought, by any argument or by any
pressure, to deprive any one of right,
however small, without awarding just COM
pensation Upon this platform of princi-
pies and upon past record it appeals with
confidence to the candid judgment of an
| intelligent people.
