We are opposed to the issuing of interest bearing bonds of the United States in times of peace, and condemn trafficking in banking syndicates. Congress alone has the power to issue money. We demand that the power to issue notes be taken from banks and all paper money be issued direct from the treasury. we hold that tariff duties should be levied solely for the purpose of rev. enue, and taxes limited to the needs of the government We denounce as disturbing to business the Republican threat to restore the Mckinley law un- til the money question is settled. We are opposed to any change in the tar if laws except those necessary to make up the deficit in the revenue caused by the income tax.
 We favor an amendment to the fed eral constitution so that the burdens of taxation may be equalled and wealth may bear its due proportion. We hold that the efficient way of protecting American labor is to pre- vent the importation of foreign pauper labor We demand a return to that simplicity and economy which best be- fits a Democratic government, and a reduction of useless offices
 we denounce the arbitrary inter- ference by federal authorities in local affairs as violation of the constitu- tion, and we especially object to gov ernment interference by injunctions as a dangerous oppression of the rights of citizens when federal judges become legislature, judges and executioners.

HILLS DEFEAT.
It Was by Man With Whom He
 Once Trained.

CHICAGO, July S.-Around the lob bies one topic is the strange coinci- dence that it was Senator John W. Daniels of Virginia, who four years ago at the wigwam nominated MT. Hill for the presidency, who was se- 1ected to give the fatal blow to the man whom he would have exalted to the first place in the republic. No more eloquent commentary on the rev. olution which had divided the party and made this convention so memora- ble could be needed
 It was not without a vail of agony that some of the spectators who could not fathom the mysteries of political maneuvering and the necessity of grinding men beneath the heel, saw the old champion whose slogan and proud est boast was T am Democrat" go down. Even after Senator Daniels had reached the platform and assumed the gavel they called loudly for the de- feated leader, but the defeated leader, | who had tasted the bitterness of de- 1 feat before as well as the sweetness Of victory, only smiled grimly.
 This was the first result of this re- markable convention which is ready to sacrifice all else that the white ban her of silver may float above the party as it's ensign and rallying cry.
