Democracy is indigenous to her soll'
that the people of Texas propose 10
govern and be governed by those
grand principles of Democracy
which restrain to guarantee safety,
justice and right, and give freedom
for every individual to reap me
honest wage of honest toll; that y
those grand principles Texas hersel1
expects to be lifted upon the very
apex of her destined splendor.
THE MISSION OF PARTY.
Since the day that Thomas Jet
ferson checked the onward-moving
forces of Capitalization 1t has oeen
the mission of the Democratic par
ty to guard and keep with the PEG.
pie their powers as their individual
property and against an accumuia,
ton of these powers by the general
government. 1t has been its mis-.
sion, even through the passions and
prejudices engenderei by the CIVIL
war, and which obscursd patriotism
ard wisdom with roguery and dem
agogueism, to impede the strug-
Cling efforts of the thousand inter
ests, spurred to action by avarlce
and greed, to build strong gov
eminent and impoverish the citi.
zen; and now that the sunshine OF
reason has penetrated, if it has not
entirely dissipated the fog of preju-
dice that for SO long hung over a
section of our country, it is the
mission of our party to return to
their proper place the garne'ed
powers at the capitol which were
reserved for the people by the con-
stitution; it is the mission of our
party to stand between the people
and the consolidation of power
from whatever source, the concen
tration CT capital, the diminution Of
local sovereignty and the dwarfine
of the individual citizen; it is the
mission of our party to protect the
home in it's sovereignty, keep this
government republic and make i
republic in fact as we'll as il
name.
THE TARIFF.
1t has been the policy of tn
government for many years to il
the main maintain itself CD impor
duties. The tariff question will
necessarily confront every congress

wrong for the government to excl

=, simple purpose of maintainin
itself. l know that our countI
can never be great without manu-
, factories, and no obstacle ought
g be placed in the way of their pros
t per:ty. If, however, manufacture
require free raw materials, then
g am unwilling for the producers {
j. the raw materials to be compelle
d to pay bounty to the manufacture

8 believe that the expenses of tn

{ and that they have been graduall

g for the principal purpose of enablin

d revenue that is necessary TO run tt
e government as its business actuall
requires upon sensible bushes
