The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1894-08-22


ment We hold that the provisions of the
bill In favor of the interests Of the Sugar
Trust framed in pursuance OF corrupt
bargain made by Democratic leaders i'm
posing duty on raw sugar as well as dis
terminating In favor of refined sugar is ar
Outrage upon the American people, impos.
ing an unnecessary burden upon them, anG
that such legislation must be corrected a.
soon as possible. We denounce the income
tax, provided for In the bill as unequal
unjust, inqulsitoral and contrary to the
Esprit of American institutions, and we de
Imani its repeal We denounce the futl
efforts of the popular branch of the pres
'ent Congress and Of the executives to oper
Ito the world the American markets for Goa
and iron as absolutely runous to our min,
ing industries.

policy OF reciprocity has largely increased
our foreign trade and should be fostered

| 4. We favor bimetalism and demand tn
use Of both gold and silver as standard
money at such ratio and under such con.
ilitions as shall be fixed by international;
agreement. We believe that the CONNER
rial welfare of the world is seriously pre-
Iiuliccl by the dislocaton of the parity
value between silver and gold and tina,
full prosperity will not be re-establishcc
until silver is restored to it's proper place
as a money metal OF equal debt-paying
Iower with gold in the currency of the ma
ions, and We urge such policy upon tn,
part OF tine United States as will finally
bring about this most desirable end.
.. We dcnounce the action of the Demo
rattle House of Representatives in passing
the bill TO repeal the tax on the issues OF
state banks as intended to destroy the
present system OF national currency anu
re-establish an unsafe and ruinous cur
rency issued under the authority of the
separate states.
/ .. We denounce the present Democratic,
administration as utterly incompetent t.
conduct the affairs of the government a.
home or abroad. 1t has by its cowardct
land ignorance brought us financial dis.
tress at home. and abroad has detractea
from our fair name by its underhand anC
un-Amercan treatment of the Republic o.
Hawaii All of It's dealings have beer
marked by an uncertainty of purpose and
our prosperity and unworthy of the coun-
sels of a great nation
] I. We favor the extension Of our foreign
commerce, the restoration of our merchant
marine by home-built ships, the further
Increase OF the navy for the protection of
our national interests and the honor al
our flag, the maintenance OF friendly rela-
tons with all foreign powers. but entan-
all tnFith ~
. equal right in the fisheries and the main.
itenance of coasting and an interstate
carrying trade for the exclusive benefit OF
Our own transportation interests.
3. We demand for the people Of this
state, irrespective of party utilization, tho
right of self-guyernment which has been
seriously Impaired by partisan Democratic
legislation. We demand that our election
shall be fair and that vote fairly cast
shall be honestly counted and returned. W,

, Democratic party in the re-enactment OF
the "di2us delinquent tax laws applicable
TO the counties Of Kent and Sussex. a.
done with the avowed purpose Of dcfcatinp
!, the viii Of the majority of the citizens OF
these countless
! .. We denaunce the present system ol
the qualification of electors in force in aur
state rs framed and used as a cloak fpl
. lffrauling our people Of the right to cleo
their own officers, and We demand its i'm
mediate repeal, and that no other useles
hfndrances to AN honest election be de
Ivised tor purely partisan purposes.
40 We denounce The legislation whicl
gives to the Democratic majority of tn
department of Elections for the city of VII
mington the power to appoint the Rcpub
llican registrars and Judges of election, thu
taking from their political opponents tn
fright still enjoyed by the rest of the state
and never before denied to any OF it's poo
pie to select the officers who are to guar,
their rights at the polls and to have tn
vote fairly counted.
/. II. We denuuncn the Democratic parl,
