Report of Committe on Reso-
lutions read, accepted, and
adopted.
We. the Democrats of Richland
county, in convention assembled.
reaffirm our allegiance to the prin-
ciples of the democratic party, and
look with pride upon its past record
and achievements. We stand today
as we ever have. for the. best inter
csts of the American people, and
for freedom and liberty; and we de-
nounce the action of the republican
administration. not only for their
conduct Of the Philippine war, by
keeping in bondage thousands Of
innocent people and depriving
them of that liberty which has been
guaranteed TO all by the constitu-
ton of the United States, but we cs-
pecially denounce the Mckinley
principle of benevolent assiinila-
tlOn,' and believe that the proper
way TO civiljZe and educate the peo-
pie can be better subserved by a
system of education rather than at
the point of the sword.
We denOunce trusts in every form
and hold the republican admins
tration responsible for the thous-
ands of different trusts which have
been organized during this admin
istration. which have advanced the
price of goods and have been detri-
mental to the best interests of the
laboring and agricultural people
of this country; and we believe that
the antitrust bill recently passed
by the republican senate was done
for the purpose of political capital
for the coming campaign. without
affecting the trusts. And we believe
that an effectual system for the de-
struction of the trusts can be
brought about only by reduction
of the tariff upon such articles as
are now under combines, believing
in the old principle that high tariff
is the parent of and fosters trusts
and combinations. We are believ-
ers in tariff for revenue only.
We extend our sympathy to the
Beers who are struggling for liber-
ty in South Africa, and look back
to the time when our forefathers
fought for those same rights which
the people of the Transvaal now de-
nland, and while our liberty was
gained by the assistance of other
countries, we belielle that the best
interests of humanity would have
been subserved by the Interference
Of foreign powers on behalf Of those
struggling people.
We believe that wherever the sta,S
and stripes float, there libe iy
should reign, and we dcnounce the
action of the republican party in
p ncing a tariff upon import, into
Porto Rico, an integral part of this
country.
We appreciate the bravery aud
manly conduct of the soldier boys
OF North Dakota. who offered their
time and lives, if need be. i'll defence
Of the government, and they sil.'Il
ever hold warm place in Tie
hearts Of The members OF the demo
