The Resolutions
Congressman Serene E. Payne, chair
man of the committee on resolutions,
presented the platform, which extends
greetings to the republicans of Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Oregon, Yer
mont and Maine, ''for their prompt
and just Judgment of an incompetent
democratic administration" National
affairs are referred to as follows:
1.-THE democratic president Of the United
States and the democratic chairman OF the
ways and means committee OF the house OF
Representatives have announced that the war
against the protected industries of the country
has but just begun, and that 1t is to be
prosecuted to the bitter end. On be-
half OF the wage Garner, the agricul-
turist, the business man and OF every sacred
interest in the empire state of the union, the
republican par;4 OF the state Of New York, IN
convention asaAmbled. accepts this challenge
she rights OF the workingman and his en-
ployer, both wantonly invaded by reckless
demagogues.
Then follows an arrangement of the
democratic administrator declaring:
'.Its most important achievement thus far
has been fifty characterized by the chief ex-
ecutive as one of pertdy and dishonor. 1t has
rewarded the largest contributors TO Its cam
paign fund by the bestowal OF foreign mis-
sions: denouncing trusts, it permitted one of
them to formulate its tariff bill; promising
continuance of the vigorous foreign policies es-
tablished by the lanented James G. Blaine, 1t
substituted q policy OF infamy'' when Hawaii
was freely offered up; denouncing the Sher-
man act as 'cowarly makeshift,' 1t was en-
abled to repeal the silver purchasing clause Of
the act only oy the help of republican sena-
tors: arraigning protection as a fraud upon
labor it passed a mOngrel protective measure,
80 tainted with scandal that it barely escaped
tho veto of a democratic president; advo-
eating free raw materials and an extension
of our foreign trade, it destroyed all
the profitable reciprocal agreements
made by President HARRISON: pledgtng itself to
the payment of Just and liberal pensions it
treats the union soldiers as If the Grand Army
badge were the badge Of beggary and brigand-,
age; pledging retrenchment, 1t exceeded at the
last session OF congress the expenditures OF
the corresponding session Of the last repub-
ucan congress by 27,000,00O in the face Of de-
creasing revenues, and after it had added
t6O, 600 $50 to the public debt: while pretending
to be in favor OF individual freedom, it
FASTENED to enact an odious income tax force
bin. empowering deputy collectors to en-
ter the homes of citizens and compel
them by threats OF official summons and heavy
penalties to disclose their private affairs.
Denounce the Tax on Sugar.
1--WE denounce the federal administration for
surrendering an annual revenue of IS, 900 on
wool and imposing y burden nearly ten times
greater by levying tax on sugar the COM
monest household necessity.
1--WE favor an honest dollar and oppose any
effort, whether by the removal OF the tax on
state bank issues or the free coinage Of silver,
TO lower our currency standard, and we favor
IN international agreement which shall result
IN the use of both gold and silver as circulate
ing medium
