the iniquity OF keeping up war tariff
These expressed views in the halls OF Con-
rress and through Republican platforms
range back from year Sgo to twelve and
fifteen years, much nearer the war than
we are nj present. We quoted the Re
publican platform Of 1868 and 1884, also
VIM. Mckinley, Senator Warren Miller,
Senator John Sherman, Hugh McCulloch,
Senator Allison, James A. Garfield, aud
Senator Ingalls,.
All these expressed tie same views re-
garding the iniquiies OF keeping up the
war tariff upon the people rs those that
follow here:

The present tariff system Is, in many re.
spects, unjust. 1t makes unequal distribu

Annual Message, 1882
JUSTICE MILLER, Of tie United States
Supreme COur.-To lay with one hand
the power of the government on the
property of the citizen, and with the
other to bestow it upon favored indi-
viduals to aid private enterprises and
build up private fortunes, is none the
less a robbery because it is done un-
der the forms Of law and is called
taxation.
JOHN ]. INGALLs.-We are on the verge
OF AN impending revolution. y
On one side ia capital, enriched
by domestic lery and foreign commerce. =
On the other ls labor, asking for employ
ments, striving to develope domestic in
dustries, battling with the forces Of Ma
lure, resolutely determined to
overthrow a system under which the rich
are growing richer and the poor are grow
ing poorer.
| While the expressions OF Senator ingalls,
are fresh IN the mind, feanng that you
may forget them after one nights sleep and
be carried away by the noise Of a cross
roads politician or the glare Of torch
light procession, or make up your mind
to swap your God-gIyen right Of a free
American citizen for a Two dollar bill, we
would ask you 10 contemplate and ascer :
tain if we are not lowering son the verge
OF an impending reyolution"-backed up
by averice, idiocy and prejudice-when
there can be any considerable number
mustered and marched up to the polls to
vote against their own interests and those
Of their neighbors and their country, un-
der the battle cry of any political party.
Take the standing in the Republican
party of the men above quoted, take the
full import OF the meaning OF their Ian
gunge, then consult your own ideas oil
right aud wrong, then take the Republican
Platform OF 1888 which reads
"WE FAVOR THE ENTIRE REPEAL
OF INTERNAL TAXES ION Wliskey
