the vessels. Worse yet, legislation was
forced through congress, like the ar
NOR trust grab, for the sole purpose of
furnishing Mark Hanna with a Re-
publican campaign corruption fund Of
millions. This notorious and fragrant
misuse Of legislative power is alone
enough to condemn to political de-
struction the party which has permit
ted it.
Taxation has been so adjusted as to
fall almost entirely upon the shoulders
of the laboring and producing masses
of the country, while wealth is prac-
tically exempt from sharing in the
burden of government.
A general demand that taxation
should be reduced to a safe and con-
sentative basis has been refused, and
all signs indicate that expenditures
even in time of peace will equal the
enormously heavy revenue now pro-
duced. The appropriations for the
coming fiscal year are more than $780,
100000. Had not certain important
dpplOQIldLlOuS Uceu ueleFTGu. ana QdQ
not even the heavy appropriations
made been pared so much below the
actual requirements of the Republican
program that heavy deficiency bill
will be necessary next winter, the ap-
preparations would have been over
$500, 100000. Did these huge appro-
priations return to the people in pub
lie benefits some fair share of the
money taken from them in the form of
taxes there might be less reason for
complaint, but the unfortunate fact re-
mains that not one dollar in five is so
expended as to actually benefit the
taxpayer who contributed it.
Take for instance the $9O,OOO,0O0 in
crease in army appropriations over the
figures for 1896. That is all to be
thrown into the Philippine rat hole,
where the entire trade of the United
States for the current fiscal year is
less than 100000. The $4,000, 900
in the naval expenditure will benefit a
few ship-building firms, who will d.
vide with the armor plate trust enor-
nous profits on their political con-
a $32.O0O,0O0 increase

REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM.
(Wiih Splinters.l

The delegates to the Republican
convention assembled herewith, do
declare as follows:
First We reatFirm our allegiance
10 Mark Hanna and Jehovah. and
promise To- stick TO the former 10 the
bitter end.
We desire to call attention to the
fact that William Mckinley during
the past four .ears, has been d faith.
IN! servant 10 every financial interest
IL the country, and that he has done
everything that he has been told TO
DO, and We point 10 his record with
pride as being the greatest one yet.
AZ an instance OF his t~eality TO party
interests he has placed ten thousand
Offices outside the civil service where
they can be within the reach OF all
who vote for the e. o. D.. without re-
gard TO age, experience or previous
~rascaliiy.
-Four years age this country was in
a helpless financial condition, due to
the peace and plenty policy Of the
Democratic party. Today we have
money 10 burn and are burning II
Asa proof Of this We have only to
call attention to the fact that we are
spending ten times as much as we
ever cared to think Of before. Four
years ago we were poor and respect
able. Now We are rich and reeking,
not only with money, but blood.
We poin; with pride TO our sdcces.
sion OF victories on land and sea, over
people, whom, while We may ueye
be able TO Christianize them. will be
a good thing i'll the long run.
From diminutive Porto Rico we
expect to reap 4 revenue large
enough TO buy all the stationery for
the next Republican Congress.
We desire TO call attention to the
fact that during the last year III the
Philippines alone We have practically
won a battle on every working day
ana sometimes on Sundays.
We believe in extending the right
foot Of Auglo.SaXon fellowship to
every nation on earth that We can
s~ubJugate and We lay our money and
our record at the feet OF the voting
population in the firm belief that
by seeing the former and ignoring the
latter. they will help US to reap the
profits for another four years to come.
We love eYerybOdy-meD, women
and children, pensioners, Plutocrats,
Ph,ladelPhIuns, ~hayseeds, wheelmen
and bosses. But above all these
things, we love and revere Mark Han.
