er Reed. We deplore his course as
the second blacklist spot upon the his
tory Of our country; unequaled by
nothing save the Republican steal of
the Presidency in 1876.
6, Resolved, That we instruct our
delegates to- the Congressional Con-
vention to cast the vote of the county
for II. c. Snodgrass SO long as his
name is before the convention.
I, We depiore the present tariff
laws and declare that they are un-
just and oppressive to the masses of
the people, who are robbed thereby
for the benefit of the few. We de-
nounce the Mckinley tariff bill as an
effort to further fasten upon the peo-
pie the fetters of bondage ; and we re-
gard it as the last link in the chain,
forged by the Republican party, to
destroy free institutions.
s. Resolved, That we favor re-
ductiOn of taxes upon the masses,
and we recomVend an income tax.
8. Resolved. That we arraign the
Republican party for demoralizing
silver and making it an article of
commerce. and we declare that it is
the sense of this Convention that we
favor free coinage Of silver.
W. T. MURRAY, Chr'm.
In addition to the foregoing, Col.
Jno. H. Savage submitted the follow
ing resolutions, and moved that the
report of the Committee be amended
thereby, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, |. That no one Congress
has the constitutional right to post
pOne the payment of debt due from
the government longer than the term
for which the representatives COM
posing that Congress are elected,
therefore the act of Congress by which
the payment of bonds is deferred, is
unconstitutional and void, and the
government should pay those bonds
without premium whenever there is
money in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated.
Resolved, 2. That the enormous
fortunes of the great millionaires OF
the United States are the result Of the
late civil war and of unjust class legis'
lation, therefore it is due the taXpay'
ers and men who live by toll that ar
income tax sufficient to raise $3.50,
100000 annually should be levied or
all incomes above $1,000.
Resolved, 3. That the Interna
Revenue Law is corrupting, unjust
cruel, and oppressive, and that it
methods and means of enforcement
are not in harmony with the princi
pies of Andrew Jackson Democracy
and therefore our representative il
Congress is instructed to use ever,
possible effort to secure its repeal.
Upon motion the report as amend
ed was adopted.
