nounCe The issudnd of nUtes INTENDED
To circulate as IDney by nationa
banks as in derugaiOn OF the constl
tuition, and we demnd that all papet
which is made a legal tender fol
public and privatdlebts or which /,
receivable for dues tO the United
states shall be besSued by the gov

TARIIS.
We hold that tariiduties should be
levied for purpose uf-evenue, sue h du
ties TO be so adjustd as to operate
equally Throughout lhe country and
no discriminate betteen class or sec
tlOn, ana that taXtiOn should lie
limited 10y the neeAof the govern
ment honestly and economically ad-
miniStrated.
We denOunce as disturbing to busi-
neSs the Republican treat to restore
the Mckinley law, witch has twice
been condemned by lie people in ma
tl0nal elections, and which, enacted
under the false plea Il protection to
nome Industry, proved prolific
breeder OF trusts andnOnOpOlies, en-
riched the few by thtexpense of the
many, restricted trad and deprived
the producers of the great American
staples of access to thfr natural mar
ketS.
INCOME TAX.
Ontll the money QUESTION is settled
we are opposed TO ally agitation for
further changes In our tariff laws, ex-
cept such as are necessary TO meet the
dehclt IN revenue calsed by the adj
verse decision of the slpremc court on
The income tax. But Or this decision
by the supreme court there would be
no deficit In the revenue under the law
passed by a Democrltic congress In
strict pursuance of tie uniform deci-
slons OF that court for 100 years, that
court having in that decision sus-
tanned constitutional objections to its
enactment which hadpreciously been
overruled by the abltst judges who
have ever sat on the bench. We de-
clare that it is the duty of congress to
useall the constitutional power which
remains after that decision, or which
may come from its reversal by the
court as 1t may hereafter be consti-
tuted, so that the burdens of taxation
may be equally and inpartially laid,
to the end that wealth may bear its
due proportion of the expense of the
government.
LABOR.
We hold that the most efficient way
)f protecting American labor is TO
prevent the importation of foreign
lauper labor to compete with it in the
home market, and that the value of
,he home market to our American
armers and artisans is greatly reduced
~ a vicious monetary. system which
lepresSeS the prices of their products
oelow the cost of production, and thus
leprives them of the means of pur-
,hasing the products of our home !,
manufactures, and, as labor creates |
he wealth of the country, we demand |
he passage of such laws as may be |
necessary to protect il in all its rights. |
We are in favor Of the arbitration |
f differences between employers en-
aged in interstare commerce and
heir employees, and recommend such |
egislation as is necessary to carry out |
his principle.
The absorption of wealth by the |
ew, the consolidation of our leading |

hose arteries Of commerce. We de-
nand the enlargement OF the powers
4 the interstate commerce commlss-
on and such and such restrictions and
nd guarantees in in the control OF
ailroads as will protect the people
rom robbery and oppression,
TAXATION.
We denounce the profligate waste
# the money wrung from the people
" oppressive taxation and the lavish
of recent Republican
ongresses, which have kept taxes
Ugh while the labor that pays them
5 unemployed, and the products !o1
he people's.toil are depressed in price
i'll they no longer repay the cost OF
PRODUCTION.
We demand return to that SIM
,licity and economy which dement's
Democratic government and reduc-
ion ia the number of useless ofi1ces,
he salaries of which drain the sub
tance of the people.
FEDERAL INTERFERENCE.
