The republican platform having present
ed free whisky in preference to free raw
materials for manufacturers and cheaper
food and clothing for the people, at the
close of the convention the party adopted
unanimously" the following bid for the
element of the voter class,
WHEREAS, The first concern of all good
government Is the virtue and sobriety of
the people and the purity of the home !;
therefore,
ReSolced That the republican party cor
daily sympathise with all wise and well
directed efforts for the promotion of tenn.
perance and morality.
1t Is willing to make whisky free and
then sit on the fence and "sympathize'
with temperance people who will try In
vain to stop the fearful flood of the stuff
when every man becomes his own distiller,
all the while pointing with pride" to Its
record on the temperance question.
The National Brewers Association held
Its convention Ia Chicago in 1886, and
almost unanimously adopted the following
resolutions
Res0tDed, That we most earnestly favor
temperance and most strongly condemn
intemperance, and appeal to every member
of the trade to make proof of this declars-
ton by his daily life and the daily conduct
Of his business,
ReSo,red, That We are In favor of both
public and private morality, good order
and popular education.
Now which is the better resolution !
ANY man of good sense will prefer the
brewers set. They are stronger from any
standpoint, and they are more sincere.
They mean something, which the republi.
can resolution does not.

MIR. +. G.. Allen In the Republican says:
at will be seen by reference to the above
that only during the years 1850, 1851, 1852,
1853 and 1854 did the receipts equal or ex-
coed the expenditures, and as a result of
the fifteen years of democratic free trade
rule the expenditures exceeded the re-
ceipts by $90,025,025; showing conclu.
sively that as system for providing suffi-
cient funds for running the government
tariff for revenue only was failure, and
the other statements correct" The facts
are, that the public debt from 1850 TO 1857
was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES from So
millions in 1850 to 2S1l millions in 1857.
There must have been revenue to make
this debt reduction; and, therefore, the
revenue tariff was success. In 1857 con.
gress was face to face with the same con
dition that now obtains how to get rid of
surplus; and the protecting argument
then made was that reducing the tariff In.
creased the revenue, and that 70 avoid a
surplus duties must be raised. Mr.. Blaine,
who ought to be authority with republi-
cans, says in mis- Twenty Years" that the
tariff of 1916 seemed for the time 10 be
so entirely vindicated and approved that
resistance to II ceased, not only among the
people, but among protective economists
and even among manufacturers" This
feeling was so general that in 1855 no
party opposed the then existing tariff, and
In 1857 1t was again reduced-to a point
