SEC. 16. Recognizing the Worlds
Columbia Exposition as II national under
taking of vast Importance, in which the
general Government has invited the Co
operation If he nations of the world, and
approaching the acceptance by many such
pc ers Of the invitation so extended, and
the broad and liberal efforts being made
by them to contribute to the grandeur OF

FEC. IL. Popular education being the
only sufe basis of popular suffrage, we
recommend to the several States most
literal appropriations tor he purchase of
schools. Free common schools are the
nursery of good government and they
have always received the fostering care
OF The Democratic party, which favorS
every means of increasing intelligence.
Freedom of education ! eing al essential
of civil aud religious liberty, as well rs a
necessity for the development Of intelli-
gence, must not be interfered with under
any pretext whatever. We are opposed
to State interference with parental rights
and rights OF conscience IN the education
Of Children. as an Infringement of the
fundamental Democratic doctrine tnat
the largest individual liberty consistent
with the rights Of others, insures the
highest Tyre Of American citizenship and
the best government.
