THE PLATFORM.
The platform says; 1--WE condemn the
free trade Tenderness of President Cleve-
lands administration and the organization
of the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, whereby a free trader was made
Speaker, who has in turn constituted the
Committee on Ways and Means in such a
manner as to insure an attack upon all the
protected industries of the country, and es-
pacially those of our own State-sugar and
rice-and we see with amazement that our
Representatives in Congress consorted with
and voted for the organization which we
condemn
1--WE view with no less amazement that
the late Democratic convention at Baton
Rouge entirely ignored the question of the
protection of our industries, and by cordial
Endorsement of President Cleveland gave
unmistakabe evidence Of its sympathy with
the baleful tendencies of his administration,
so destructive of the property of our beloved
State and people Believing it to be the
duty of national and State governments
to foster and protect the agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests and
industries of the State we pledge our COR
dial endeavor TO assist in adequate legisla-
ton for the safety and security of the
American principles of protection TO all
our industries without regard TO time, place
or location, to the end that labor and capi-
tai shall be secure in their rights and priv
ieges from foreign competition and inter-
ference.
'We approve and accept the debt adjust
ment of this State and declare that the
revenue derived from $3,0o0,000 inter-
est taxes shall be sacredly applied to
the purposes for which it is levied, and that
the surplus over and above the amount re-
quired to pay the annual interest on the
State debt be set aside as a sinking fund, to
be applied 10 the redemption of State
bonds
eve insist upon the maintenance and
protection of our public levees throug ghout
the State and pledge such devotion of the
public funds as may be necessary and essen
tial to this end
The platform further calls upon louisiana
Congressman to vote for the Blair educa-
tional bill; condemns the importation Of
contract labor, and the use Of convict labor
outside of public WORKS.
