mean the enactment Of the forco bill and th'
usurpatlon Of despotc conhol over elections II
an the states Believing that the preservation
OF republican government IA the IfRitod States
Is dependent upon the defeat of this policJ
OF legalized force and frnnd wo invite the sup
port Of OIL citizens who desire 10 SEQ the consti
tuition maintained IN IT'S integrity with ih5
laws pursuant thereto, which have givcr
our country 100 years OF uuexamples
prosperity; and we pledge tho democratic party
II 1t be entrusted with power not only 10 Tho
defeat Of the force bil but also to relentless
opposition 20 the republican policy OF pronigats
| expenditure which, IA the short space Of two
years, has sQuanderei an enormous surplus
and emptied m overlooking treasury, after
| piling new hurdeusof taxation upon the already
ovortaxed labor Of the country
See. 3 We denouncc republican protection as
fraud The labor Of the great majority OF the
American people for the benefit Of the few. VIC
declare II 70 be a fundamental principle Of the
democratic party that the federal government
has no constitutional power TO impose and col
lect tariff duties, except for the purpose Of rev
cuue only and we demand that the collection OF
such taxes shah be limited 10 tho necessities Of
the government when honestly and economic
ally administered
We denounco tho Mckinley tariff law enacted
by the Iifty-nrst congress- as the eliminating
atrocity OF class legislation; we indorse
the efforts made by the democrats OF the pres
cnt congress to modify It's most oppres-
sVe features Ia the direction OF free raw mate
riais and cheaper manufactured goods that en-
| ter into general consumption: and we promise
4 rs repeal es ono OF the benencent results that
will follow the action Of tho people in entrust.
! ins power 70 the democratic party. Since the
| Mckinley tarlI went into operation there have
| bccn ten reductions OF tho wages OF lab0rlng
men 70 one increase We deny that there has
been any increase Of prosperity TO the country
I "a az .f..
wo point % The dullness and dis
tress with wage reductions and strikes
in the iron trade as the best possible
evidence that no such prosperity has resulted
from the Mckinley act We call the attention
OF thoughtful Americans to the fact that after
thirty years OF restrictive tariff against the i'm
portntion OF foreign wealth In exchange for our
agricultural surplus the homes ana farms Of
the country have become burdened with a
real estate mortgage debt Of over S2.5O0
0000l0 exclusive Of all other forms Of
Indebtedness; that IN one Of the chief agri-
cultural states Of the west there appears a real
estate mortgage debt averaging si6j per
capita Of the total population, and that similar
conditions and tendencies are shown to exist
IN the other agricultural exporting states I'VE
denouncc policy which fosters no industry so
much as II does that OF the sheriff
see Trade interchange on the basis OF re-
ciprocal advantages to the countries participat.
. "a
| faith but we den0unce the sham reciprocity
which iugglcB with the peoples desire for en-.
larged foreign markets and freer exchange hy
pretending 10 establish closer trade relations for
o country whose articles Of export are almostex
clusively agricultural products with other coun
tries That are also agricultural, while erecting
O custom house barrier Of prohbitive taria
taxes against the richest countries OF the
world, hat stand ready 10 iako our entire sur
plus Of products and 70 exchange therefor com.
modtties which are nccessaries and comforts OF
life among our own people
Sec We recognize in the trusts and
combinations which are designed 70
enable capital 10 secure moro than its
just share OF the joint product OF capt
tal and labor natural consequence
OF the prohibitivo taxes which prevent the free
competition which IS tho life OF honest trade,
but we believe their worst evils can be abated
by law and We demand the rigid enforcement OF
the l-.~s made 20 prcvent aud control theta, to-
gether with such further legislation in restraint
Of the abusea as experience may shog 70 be noo-
cssary
Sec. The republican party, while professinr
policy OF resorYing the public land for small
holdings hy actual settlers has given away the
peoples heritage til now few railroad
ald nonresident aliens individual and cor
poraie possess larger area than that
~ ah our farrns between the two seas
The last democratic administration reversed
the improvldent and unwise policy OF
the republican party touching the public do.
