The platform adopted, indorses the |
administ ration of President Cleveland |
and the action of the National Demo- |
cratic Convention, in its definitions and |
platform: believes that the people |
should insist upon q moderate reduc-
ton in the taxes suggested in the |
Presidents message, and opposes
sumptuary laws as an unjust abridge- |
ment of the inalienable rights of the |
citizens. The Democrats of Wisconsin |
stand upon these declarations and in
vitesall voters to cooperate with this
effort to reduce the taxation. They |
especially invite the aid of the 50 900 |
majority of young men in Wisconsin |
who have become voters since 1865
and whose futures were mortgsgedl
by war debts, to cast their votes with |
the party that is dealing with the |
present business condition, and not |
with theory, or with sentiment or |
prejudice engendered by questions that
have long since been settled.
