 The'truth is that snch a system is directly sntasonixed by ever, sentiment of justice and fairness. of which Americans are pre-emi- nenfly proud. IL Is also true that while our workingmen and farmers can. tho least Of all our people. defend themselves against the harder home life which such tariff taxation decrecs-the working man suffering from the importation and employment of pauper Ia Dor. instigetcd by his prufessed friends, and seek Ing security for his interests in organized co- operation. still waits for a division of tbe ad- vantaees secured to his employer under cover of generous solicitude for his wages. while the farmer Is learning that the prices of his products are hxed in foreign markets, where he suffers from a competition invited and built up by the system he is asked to support. PRIVATE AND SELFISH GREED.
 The struggle for uneerned advantage at the doors of the government tramples on the rights of those who patiently rely upon as- srirances Of American equality. Every gov ernmeutal concession to clamorous fayoritee invites corruption in political affairs by en- sufrrsxc % in M support of a policy directly fsref. able to private and selfish greed. This ln the end must strangie patriotism and weaken pnpiflar CunuLcnct Ill ttfe ftttltuUe or FtpuD- iican institutions. Though the subject of tariff legislation involves q question of morals
 We cannot with inpunity permit injustice to taint the spirit of right and equity which is the life of our republic. and we shall fail to reach our national destiny if greed and self sh- ness lead the way
 Recognizing these truths, the national de- mocracy will seek, by the application of just and sound principles, to equalize to our peo- pie the blessings due them from the govern ment they support. to promote anone our aerxyft fRfp cemented by patriotism and national pride. and to point out a fair field where pros porous and diversified American products may grow and thrive in a wholesome atmosphere of American industry. ingenuity and intelli- geuce. Tariff reform Is still our purpoee. Though we oppose the theory that tariff laws may he passed haying.for their object the granting of discriminating and unfair rover- mental aid 10 private ventures. VIC wage no exterrninating war against any American in- terest. We believe n readjustrnent can bc &C., compished in accordance with the principles VIC profess. without disaster or demolition. We believe that the advantages of free raw materials should be accorded to our manu- facturcrs, and we contemplate a fair and careful distribution Of necessary tariff bur oens rather than the precipitation of free trade. We anticipate with caimnces the mis- repro sentatiou of our motives and pur poses insfigated by \ seliishness which seeks 10 hold in unrclenting grasp its unfair advan- tage under the present tarin laws. We will rely upon the intelligence of our fellow coun- trynen to reject the charge that party com prising majority of our people is planning the destruction or injury of American inter ests; and we know they cannot be frightened by the spectre of impossible free trade. The administration and management of our gov erument depend upon the popular will. Fed eral power Is the instrument of that will | not itr master. Therefore the attempt of the | opponents of democracy to interfere with and coniru the suffrage Of the states through l federal agencies develops a design which no ] ex planation can mitigate, to reverse the fun damcntal and safe relations between the peo- ! pie and their government. Such an attempt cannot fail to be regarded by thoughtrul men ! as proof Of bold determination to secure the ! sscendency of a discreGited party in reckless disregard of free expression of the popular will. To resist such a scheme is an i'm puIse of democracy. At all times and st all places we | trust tue people. As against disposition to
 them our claims to the conf1dence and sup | port a steady championship of tbeir rights. THE MONEY QUESTION.

 and no doubtful experiment should be at. tempted The wants of our people arising 1 from tho deficiency or imperfect distribution of money circulation ought to be fully and | honestly recognized and efhciertiy rcmedied. l IL should. however. be constantly remember
