The BattIe-Cry OF IsoO.

1. Tariff Reform, by the repeal of
all needless taxes on the necessaries
of life: the repeal of taxes on raw ma
terials of our industries, in harmony
with the policy of every other pro-
tecti..n country of the world; and
the repeal of all taxes which foster
monopoly trusts and combines to
tax the masses for the benefit of the
classes.
2. Ballot Reform by absolute free
dom of all voters from the dictation
of political or business matters, and
absolute secrecy of every citizens
vote.
3. Civil Service Reform, by the
overthrow of the vicious system
that degrades local, State and ma
tional governments to the control of
professional spoilsmen, and excludes
integrity and competency for the
dependents of party bosses.
A. Public Economy, by the restor-
alton to solvency of a now bank
rupted National Treasury without
imposing additional burdens on the
people to maintain needless officials
and satiate the greed of monopo.
lists and profigates.
5. Nation Peace, by the defeat Of
revolutionary measures aiming al
the control of elections by force and
fraud; creating 200, 900 new Federal
officials to be paid out of a Treasury
already bankrupted, and rekindIing
sectional strife quarter of cen.
tury after peace.

Putnam County Democratic

one The delegates appointed to

Senator Cbas. J. Faulkncr, Jr.,

was listened to with marked atten-

The editor of the Kansas Farnaer
has Just made tour of that State
and delivered speeches before all the
Alliances He said he was present
at % gatherings, each of which
averaged 1000 farmers, and he re-
marks that he found them anlunit
in their opposition to the Mckinley
bill, and they all recognize thas the
tax laid on foreign farm products
was nothing more than trick to
gull them into the belief that they
were protected and thus cause them
toSacquiesce in the increase OF the
duties on agricultural implements
and all the necessaries of life. The
farmers, he says, are giving a great
deal of study to the tariff question;
they are being supplied with the
necessary literature by the reform
clubs, and the result of the campaign
of education, which Mr. Cleveland
first suggested, is a growing senti-
ment in favor of a marked rednc-
ton of the tariff.

According to Republicans, the tar.
iff, or high taxation, is the greatest
boon ever vouchsafed to the Ameri.
can people.
1t not only cheapens everything
but has caused an increase of from
ten to fourteen millions in our pop
ulation since 1880.
1t makes the rain to fall, the sun
to shine and the crops to grow.
If it were not for the tariff trout
would cease to throng the mountain
streams of West Virginia, and buck.
wheat to grow on her thousand
hills.
Every intelligent person knows
how false is the pretense that the
tariff is maintained for the benefi,
of the American farmer and work,
ingman, and what other circum.
stances, with which the tariff has
nothing to do, bring about the cheap.
ening of many articles of prime ne.
cessity.
While the Wholesale price of 8
cultivator to an American farmer is
S11.O0, the same machine is sold al
retail to foreign farmer for ss.4
A pillow which is sold to the Ameri.
can farmer for $1,000, can be pur.
chased by Mexican or Canadian
for $1,000, and so on.
One of the boosted principles up.
on which these people base Their
high taxation in favor of the Amer
lean manufacturer, is that the Amer
lean workman must not be degrad
ed and placed on par with the
paupor labor of Europe, but they
have never hcsitated for o moment
to send for those pauper laborers al
the way to Europe and bring them
here to compete on American sol
with American workmen.

Moral Blindness.
Savannah News.

fodNHHHHII NEWS.
The Republicans have become
blind in politics, and have adopted
the idea that their personal morality
cannot be questioned when acting
in public affairs. At the command
of party they support such iniquit-
Gus measures as the Election bill
without the least hesitation. And
yet they boast that their party is
the "party of great moral ideas. -
1t looks very much as if their boast
ed political virtue was good deal
of a sham.

The committee on permanent or
ganization, reported that the tenn
porary organization be made per-
manent. Report unanimously
adopted.
The committe on resolutions made
the following report, which after
some discussion, was adopted as a
whole: Here Mr.. Wiley moved to
strike from the resolutions, that por-
ton personal to himself, instructing
for him for State Senator, saying
that he wanted the delegates to GO
to the convention untrameled, and
free to vote for whom they pleased.

ton to strike out, the meeting re-
fused the request by an almost un-
aminous vote, showing the high es-
tmation in which he is held by his
county people.

suited unanimously. The resolu
tions are as follows:
