Of lis resoluuca, ,fT,r,d early in

peiatlre duty of Congress TO repeal
the ilterral revenue laws at the
earliest day practicable. lie believes
that dny has now arrived and that
these laws should be wiped from

lieves that the money needed for the

be raised by uultt SO adjusted as to
give American capital aud labor all
possible incidental protection, and
so that The heaviest burdens shall be

TO the people as the internal revenue
system il. The Senator's views are
directly opposed to those Of Mr..
Cleveland and the majority Of the
