We cord ally indorse the administration of
President Cleveland, as we believe the peo-

courage and honesty.

The names and the careers OF these men
remind us that as long as we follow the ex-

Taxes should not be collected beyond the
tered. and we hereby reafirm the principles
laid down In our last State and National plat
forms upon the tariff question, and demand
O thorough and just revision of existing
tarin laws in accordance with these princf-
pies.
We heartily approve the policy of paying
out the surplus revenue heretofore accumu-
lated in the Treasury on the interest bearing
debt.
Every dollar of unnecessary. taxation,
State or National, is robbery and in deroga-
tion of the rights of the peoples; an unneces-
sary surplus in the Treasury is an incentive
to corruption and Congress onal jobbery,
locked up beyond the.r control.
We denounc the attempt to change the
measure of values in the face of the worlds
as an act of INDUSTRIOUS Injustice, and de-
mand that both gold and silver; as estab-
taIned as the basis of our money system.
we approve the acton OF the Democratic
ing to the public domain for homesteads for
actual settlers, nearly a hundred millions of
acres OF unearped lands, heretofore granted

venting alien ownership in large tracts of
public lands in the United States.
