RESOLUTIONS.
The democrats of Lincoln county,
Oregon, in convention assembled,
adopt the following declaration of
principles and measures as theft
platform in the coming campaign:
I've re-affirm and again de-
clare Our faith and advocacy of the
imperishable principles and doc.
trines of the democratic party as
promulgated by its early founders!
2-We charge upon the republi-
can party and its reckless and ill
advised legislation the evils and
troubles from which the people are
now, and have been suffering for a
long time. The low prices of farm
products, unemployment of labor,
the general AMI widespread de-
preston in business and the almost
universal stagnation of all Our in
dustries, all without doubt the re-
suit of unjust and burdensome tax
es of their high and over-protective
tariff system, and other class legis-
lation.
give believe that all taxes
should be equal and just, and that
the wealth of the nation should
bear its just proportion of the bur
dens Of the government. To this
end we most earnestly favor the
taxation of the incomes of the rich.
Ave claim that a fixed system
OF salaries for all public officers
should take the place of the fee sys-
tenn
5-We arraign the last legisla-
ture of this state for its reckless
squandering of the peoples money
by eXhorbitant and unnecessary ap-
propriations, and hold the republi.
can party of the state, responsible
Tor the unquestioned bad legisla-
tion O. that party.
6--The democracy of Lincoln
county favor sound money, the
money of the constitution, every
dollar Of which shall BE of equal in
:rinsic value and purchasing power
md readily eXchangeable at the
wish of the holder, and to that end
avor such legislation by congress
IS will bring about the free coinage
If silver at the ratio Of I6 toI.
I've denounce in unqualified
erms terms the act of the last leg
stature of this state whereby it re-
'ealed what is known as the mort
rage tax law" and we demand its
e-enactment at the next, session.
Ne recommend that the nest legis-
ature enact'a law requiring each
.ounty clerk to furnish the other
'ounties a transcript of the record
# all mortgages on recotd in his
'ounty so that they may :. accessi-
,le to all the assessors, and there
ore not escape taxation.
S--We believe that The law al
owing deduction Of Indebtedness
rom assessments was founded up-
)n nrincinles Of iustice and equity!
