Ihe meeting OF the present Congress
is one OF the most important to the
people of this country that has con-
vehed for the last thirty years. Its
actions will be watched with more
interest and intelligence and criticism
than any of its predecessors Its work
is voluminous and intricate. and has
to deal with and undo much that has
been done for the past thirty years, in
class legislation. The following is a
guarantee of its pledge:
"We denounce republican protection
as fraud; a robbery of the great ma
jority of the American people for the
benefit OF the few. We declare to be
y fundamental principle of the Demo-
cratic party that the Federal Govern
ment has no constitutional power to
impose and collect tariff duties. except
for the purpose of revenue only, and
we demand that the collection OF such
taxes shall be limited to the necess :
ties of the Government when honestly
and economically administered. - Ma
tional Democratic Platform. Chicagc,
H., June %. 1892.
This question has been under active
discussion for many years. The is
sues were settled and sharply presen-
ted by Mr.. Cleveland's tariff message
of December. 1887. The case was sub
mitted to the people for their final
judgment on the Sth OF November last.
and the special issues formed by the
platforms of the parties were so clearly
drawn as to leave no possible room for
doubt as to the meaning OF the verdict
