TARIFF TAXATION.

See. g. We denounce Republican pro-
lection As q fraud. The robbery OF tbe great
maiority OF the American people for the
benefit OF ,he few, We declare it to be a
fundamental principle of the Democratic par
ty that the Federal Government has no CON
stitutional power to impose and collect tariff
duties, except for the purposes OF revenue
only, and we demand that the collection Of
such taxes shall be limited to tho necessities
of the Government when honestly and econ
omically administered.
We denounce the Mckinley tariff law en-
acted by the Fitty-frst Congress as the cul
minating atrocty of class legislation; we in
dorse the efforts made by the Democrats of
the present Congress to modify its most OPP
presslvef features in the direction OF free raw
materials and cheaper manufactured goods
that enter into general consumption, and we
promise Its repeal as one Of the benetcent
results that will follow the action of the
people in lntrusting powerto the Democrat
ic party. Since the Mckinley tariff went
into operation there have been ten Ieduc-
tions of the wages of laboring men TO one
increase. We deny that there has been any
increase of property to the country since
that tariff went into operation; we point to
the dullness and distress which wage reduc-
tions and strikes in the iron trade as the
best possible evidence that no such pros
perity has resulted from the Mckinley set.
we call the attention of thoughtful Amer
leans to the fact thai after thirty years Of
restrictive taxes against the importation OF
fereign wealth in exchange for our agricul-
turo surplus the homes and farms of the
country have become burdened with real
estate mortgage debt of over So 500,000,000
exclusive Of all other forms Of indebted
oess; that in one of the chief agricultural
States Of the West there appears real es-
tate mortgage debt averaging Sl65 per cap
ita OF the total populations and that similar
conditions and Tenderness are shown to exist
in the other agricultural exporting States.
We denounco policy whlcn fosters no in
lustry so much AS it does that of the sheriff.

ALLEGED RECIPROCITY.

Sec. 4. Trade exchange on The basis OF
reciprocal advantages to the countries par
ticipating is a time-honored doctrine of the
Democrats faith, but we denouncs the sham
reciprocity which jugges with the peoples
desire for enlarged foreign markets and
freer exchange by pretending to establish
closer trade relations with 6 country whose
articles ofexport are almost exclusively ag-
rcultura products with other countries that
are also agricultural, while erecting a Gus
tom. house barrier ofprohlbltive tarlu LAKES

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

lHh sChOOL VOhHtlpN'
Sec. II. Popular education being the on
ly safe basis OF popular suffrage, we recom-
mend to the several States most liberal APP
preparation for the public schools. Free
common schools are the nursery Of good
government, and they have always received
The fostering c ,ro of tho Democratic party,
which favors every means of increasing in
telligence. Freedom of education being an
essential Of civil and religious liberty rs well
as necessity for the development of intel
ligenco, must not be interlered with under
any protext whatever. We are opposed to
State interference with parental rights or
rights OF conscience IN the education of
children as an Infringement OF the funda-
mental Democratic doctrine that the largest
individual liberty consistent with the rights
of others insures the highest type Of Ameri-
can citizenship and tho bost government.
ADMISSION OF THE TERRITORIES.
Sec. IS. Weapprove tho action Of the
present House of Representatives in passing
bills admitting into the Union as States the
Territories Of New Mexico and Arizona, and
we favor the early admission OF all the Ter
ritories having the necessary population and
resources TO entite them to Statehood, and
while they remain Territories we hold that
the officials appointed to administer the gov
ernment Of any Territory, together with the
District of Columbia and Alaska, should be
bona ldo residents Of the Territory or dis
trct in which heir duties arc to be per.
formed, The Democratic party believes IN
home rule d the control Of their own af-
fairs by the peopl9 oftno vlcinage.
PROTECTION OF RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
Sec 10, We favor legislation by Con-
gress and State legislatures to protect the
lives and limbs Of railway employees and
those OF other hazardous transportation
companies, and denOunce the inactivity of
tho Republican p rty, and particularly the
Republican Senate, for causing the defeat
of measures beneficial and protective to
this claes Of wage-goers.

AGAINST TRUST !.

Sec. D.. we recognize IN tne lrustN huu
combinations which are designed to enable
capital to secure more than its just share OF
the ioint product of capital and labor and
natural consequence Of the prohibitive taxes
which prevent the FREQ competition, which
il the lie Of honest trade; but we believe
their worst evils cun be abated by law, and
we demGnd the rigid enforcement Of the laws
n1ade TO control and prevent them, together
with such further legislation In restraint OF
their abuses rs experience may show to be
necessary.

MALONE has been the marplot of
all republican movements in Virginia
for the last ten years. Not content
with defeating republican attempts
to carry his own state he seems bent
on carrying his factious opposition
into the national councils of the party.
1t is not all likely that his efforts in
this direction will succeed, but it is
high time that he and all would be
party leaders of his stamp were given
directly to understand that they can
no longer pose as party leaders while
only playing the role of Observation-Disclosures
Malone has neither the discretion
nor the political sagacity that entitle
him to leadership and the sooner the
republicans of Virginia turn their
backs upon him the better for the
Oh snces of that state.

CANADA is all broken up through
tho operations of the Nc. Ktnley bill.
Her products, that she was so freely
sending across the border before the
Nc. Kinley bill became a law, have
been reduced in price to the extent
of the duty levied by that bill and
even at that reduction cannot find q
market among her own people. That
bill cuts both ways, it cuts out the
hope of foreign market from our
Canadian rivals and secures market
for the farmers of New York, and
New England at such prices for their
products as make all the difference
between prosperity and stagnation.

THE republicans of the house owe it
to themselves in view of the attempt
made by the democratic majority to
cut into the provision of the McKin-
ley bill. to make raid upon the
sugar reflners by putting refined
sugar upon the free list. BY this
means they could give the democrats
a taste of their own medicine and at
the same time put spoke into the
heels of the sugar trust, which
seems determined to defy congress
sional restrictions.

THIS present congress will not &C.
complish anything in the way of
tariff legislation, that matter was
settled before congress met. Settled
because 1t was absolutely certain that
the presidential veto stood in the
way of any attempt to pass freetrade
regulations. Doubly settled because
the democrats themselves, notwith-
standing their majority, are unable
to press the matter of hostile legis-
lation to completion even in the
face of small republican minority.

NC kINLEY'suLITrLE BILL.

Statisti of American manufactures
show that under the stimulus of the
Mckinley bill 2ls manufacturing In
dustries have been started, that these
establishments give employment to
l4,S76 hands, and that the capital in
vested in these industries, so far as
tabulated, is $l5, 16i, $50. But these
figures do not tell the whole story.
The returns are incomplete, the en-
tries under the head mot stated,n
forming one tenth of the working
force, give no account OF capital inves-
ted. Adding ten per cent to the
capital to offset the ten per cent of
hands employed in these imperfectly
reported factories and the total CAPT.
tai is nearly $4,000 900. This is only
the increase in the new establish
ments to which should be added
S., 00O, 900, capital invested in enlarge
ments, of works already in operation
at the time the Mckinley bill was
passed. The sixty-nine plants thus
enlarged have increased their force
of operators by by 5,292. The reports
from which these figures are taken
contain the statements of many other
tablis hments in which the increase
is stated as so much per cent, and
these are not tabulated. The princi-
pal industry In this catalogue is the
tinplate manufacture, in which over
S., 3l0, 900 has been invested and which
employs ,447 hands. The second on
the list is textiles; laces, hosiery,
silks, pushes, etc in which the In.
vestment is over $4,000, 900 and the
number of workmen 3,494. An act of
congress that can put in operation in
so short time IS has elapsed since
the Mckinley bill went into effect,
industries employing twenty thousand
operatives, and giving inves tment to
twenty-six millions capital, is such
an act as the republican congress
that passed it may we'll glory In. No
wonder that such q feeder of Ameri-
can workmen, such q consumer of
raw American product, is growing in
favor from day to day, and that the
political principle that fosters such a
policy is destined tn become the most
popular one ever promulgated in this
country. Protection protects, and the
protected are growing very rapidly
into knowledge of that fact. When
the knowledge is general the days of
the freetrader will be NUM- ered.

SENATOR PFEFFER of Kansas ex-
poets that the republican party will
be defunct before his term expires
and that the third party will be con-
trolling national affairs in its room
and stead. If Pfeffer had as much
brains as beard, he never would have
given expression to sentiment so
illustrative of his lack of political in
sight, foresight and hindsight.

the exclusion is only in part it is inn
