The tariff bill Of the Senate endorses
the action of the Republican members of

that federal taxation shall be ex-
clusiyely for public purposes, and
shall not exceed the needs Of gov
. erument economically administer
ed.
The system of direct taxation,
known as the internal revenue, y
Is a war tax, and, so long as the
law continues, the money derived
therefrom should be sacredly de-
voted to the relief of the people
from the remaining burdens of the
war, and be made a fund to defray
the expenses of the care and com
fort of worthy soldiers, disabled in
line of duty in the wars of%he -
public, and for the payment of
such pensions as congress may
from time to time grant such sol
diers, a like fund for the sailors
having been already provided, and
any surplus should be paid into
the treasury.
We believe in honest money, the
gold and silver coinage of the con-
stitution, and circulating medium
convertible into such money with
out loss.
We oppose sumptuary laws
which vex the citizen and interfere
with individual liberty.
We favor honest civil service re-
form and the compensation of all
United States officers by fixed sal
aries, the separation of church and
state, and the diffusion of that free
education by common schools, so
that every child in the land may
be taught the rights and duties of
citizenship.
We are opposed to all PROPOSE
tons which upon any pretext would
convert the general government
into a machine for collecting taxes
ss to be distributed among the
states or the citizens thereof.
The federal government should
are for and improve the AIissis-
iippi riysr and other great water
ways of the republic, so as to Sc
;ure for the interior states easy
md cheap transportation to tide
water.
