MANNING CLARENDON COUNTY, G, WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS, 1885,

beyond the needs of an economical admin
istration, is drawn from the people and
channels of trade and accumulated, rs a
demoralizing surplus, in the national treas
ury. The money now lying idle in the
Federal treasury, resulting from supertlu.
Gus taxation, amounts to more than $125.
600, ,OO0 and the surplus collected is reach
ing the sum of more than $50, GOO, 600 an
nually.
Debauched by this immense temptation,
the remedy of the Republican party is to
meet and exhaust, by extravagant appro-
priations and expenses, constitutional
or not, the accumulation OF extravagant
taxation. The Democratic policy is to en-
force frugality in public expense and abol-
ish all unnecessary taxation. Our estab-
lished domestic industries and enterprises
should not and need not be endangered by
4 reduction and correction of the burdens
Of taxation. On tie contrary, u fair and
careful revision of our tax laws, with due
allowance for difference between wages OF
American and foreign labor, must promote
and encourage every branch of such indus
tries and enterprises by giving them assur-
ances of an extended market and steady
aud continuous operations. In the interest
of American labor, which should in no
event be neglected, the revision of tax laws
contemplated by the Democratic party
should promote the advantage of such Ia
Dor, by chespening the cost of the necessa
ries of life in the home OF every working
man and at the same time securing to him
steady remunerative employment.
On this question of tariff reform, so
closely connecting every phase of our na-
tional life, and upon every question in
volved in the problem of good government,
the Democratic party submits its principles
and professions to the intelligent suffrages
of the American people.
