mean the enacrment Of the force bin
and the usurpation OF despotic
control over elections IN all states.
Believing that the preservation of republican
government in the United States is dependent
upon the defeat of the policy OF legalized force
and fraud, we invite the support OF al citizens
who desire to see the constitution main tanned in
it's integrity with the laws pursuant thereto.
whicn have given our country hundred years
OF unexampled prosperity; and We pledge the
Democratic party, IL it be entrusted with power,
not only to the defeat OF the force bill, but also
to relentless opposition to the Republican policy
OF proflisate expenditure, which in the short
space of two years has squandered autonomous
surplus aud emptied an Overlooking treasury.

TAXATION.
Sec. 8. We reiterate the oft-repeated doc
tr1nes OF the Democratic party that the neces-
sity OF the government is The only Justification
for taxation. and whenever a tax Is UNNECESSARY
it is unjustifiab Bile; that when custom house tax
alton is levied upon articles OF another kind
produced in this country the difference between
the cost OF labor here and labor abroad, when
such difference exists, fully measures any pos
sible benefits to labor. and the enormous addi-
tional impositions of the existing tariff faL

whom it enriches, exact from labor grossly ull-
and we demand such 9 revision OF the tariff
laws as will remove their nquitious inequali-
ties, tighten the expressions and put them on a
constitutional aud equitable basis. But
it is not proposed to iniure
any domestic industries, but rather to promote
their healthy growth. From the foundation OF
this governments, axes collected at the custom

legislation Tor successful continuance. that
any change of law must be at every step regard

process Of reform must be subject. in the execn-
ton of this to the plain dictates OF Justice. We
denounce the Mckinley tariff law enacted by the
Fifty-first congress as the eliminating atrocity
OF class legislaton; we indorse the efforts made
By the Democrats OF the present congress to
modify it's most oppressive features i'll the direc-

consumption; and we promise its repeal
as Of, the beneficent results that
will follow the action OF the people
in en- trusting power to the Dem ocratic p rty.
Since the Mckinley tariff went into operation
there have been ten reductions OF the wages OF
laboring men to increase. We deny that
there has bean increase OF prosperity to the
countrYsince that tariff act went into opera
ton, and we point to the dizziness and distress,
the wage reductions and strikes in the iron
trade, as the best possibleevidence that no such
prosperity has retulted from the Mckinley act.
We call the attention OF thoughtful Americans
to the fact that after thirty years Of restrictive
taxes against the i'm portation OF foreign wealth,

homes and farms OF the country have become
