"rhe articulate demand of the hour,n
wrote the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard in
his contribution to the Forum for June,
lis for the reformation and reduction of
the existing tariff so that unnecessary
taxes shall cease, and necessary taxes
shall flow directly into the public
treasury and not indirectly into the
private Golfers of favored classes; the
establishment of a system of freer ex-
change of our agricultural and other
natural products for the raw materials
produced in foreign countries. whereby
our manufacturers will find their way
open to expanded markets in which
they may profitably compete, our ship
ping interests will be revived, and our
mercantile marine enabled to regain its
former supremacy; and the power of
monopolies and trusts will be curbed
and not, as at present, assisted. 1t is
the paramount duty of the national
Democracy to hold these great and
patriotic objects high above all possible
observation by machine methods or
personal intrigue, and as an essential
basis for all this quickened com
merce, foreign and domestic, manu-
features and merchant marine, we
must agree upon and unequivocally
proclaim the maintenance of sound
and stable standard and measure of
value in theun Of money upon which
the whole superstructure of credit and
payments can be securely conducted"
How well and thoroughly this duty was
performed by the Chicago convention
the platform and the nomination of
Grover Cleveland bear witness.
