THE DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS
Whereas, the Democratic party, rep.
resented in its national convention held
III Chicago in sJune, 1892, formulated
and declared the sentiment and policy
OF the party upon the subject of the
tariff upon imports, and declared itself
unaltera0ly committed to the doctrine
that all duties upon importatiouS should
be Laid and levied for the purpose of
revenue only" and
Whereas. the present representative
or the Sixth congressional district of the
state of Minnesota accepted the nomi-
nation OF the Democracy of said district
for the office held by him upon the
declaration of principles of the party
protested during the campaign which
terminated i'll his election a devotion to
the policy of the party as annunciated
in lis platform, and
Whereas, The Wilson bill. so-called,
embodies the declared policy of the
Democratic party; therefore be it
Resolved, That that the representa-
tive in congress for the Sixth district of
the state OF Minnesota is in honor and
duty bound TO aid by his vote and influ-
ence the adoption OF the Wilson bill in
Its entirety and as presented by the
ways and means committee of the house
OF representatives.
Resolved, That it is the duty of said
representative 70 act in accordance with
and in conformity to the policy of the
party to whose suffrage he owes his

voters Of said district have not now any
right to request him to abandon that
platform, nor 10 so stultity himself as
TO favor policy contrary to the de-
clare1 policy of the Democratic party,
as signitied in the Wilson bill.
Resolved. That it is the sense of this

TO give loyal support to the party in
The present emergency, and that mutiny
against the party, such us is clearly i'm
piled in the attempt TO control the
action OF our representative in congress,
and to Induce him to abandon his de-
clared views upon the subject of the
tariff, would be destructive of the Or

most cordially indorse the effort of the
Democratic administration in its honest
endeavor to reduce the tariff taxes.

there be no changes in the free list, as
proposed by the Wilson bill, unless it
be 10 add other articles to said free list.
