HILL OK TIMELY ISSUES.
The Great New York Democrat Pleads
for Party Unity

before the llldAn lluO IN New lOrk
June 10th:
What the people WANT is immedi-
ate relief from the present ighprires
extorted from them. That relief eau
be obtained nv the application OF a
speedy and effectual remedy in the
repeal of all tariff duties upon pro-
ductions controlled by the trusts.
at has unreasonahIy increased
public taxation for the benefit OF pri-
vate interests. and. finally. it has
promoted dangerous speculation to
an extent which the holdest business
gambler never dreamed Of. whereby
millions and millions Of worthless
stocks have been unloaded upon de-
ceived public, upon the promise and
expectation Of dividends which can
not be earned and can never be real
ICED, creating nm alleged prosperity
which must necessarily be false and
fictitious. And when the bubble
bursts. as ere long it surely must, it
will inevitably bring disaster to the
business community and the public
will have learned to their sorrow that
lesson of political economy which
teaches that a people can never be-
come rich by simply taxing them
selves.
"Everybodv Of discernment and in
telligence must recognize the folly OF
the maintenance Of a system OF tariff
taxation which enables manufacture
ers enjoying a monopoly OF govern
ment iavoritism here to undersellfo
eign manufacturers in the latter q
own country, and Mt the same time
compel the people of this country to
pay higher price for the r""""f 90
tured articles which they purchase in
their home markets than American
manufacturers themselves are willing
to accept from foreign purchasers in
foreign lands"
DEMOCRATIC UNITY.
Upon the subject OF Democratic
unity" Mr.. Hill said: There is sub
stantial accord among the Demo.
Gratis of the country upon all the
timely issues which are now engross
Ing public attention.
I'VE are all united in favor OF the
preservation of constitutionalliberty
wherever our flag floats. We are
opposed, as the permanent policy OF
this government. to the maintenance
of dependent colonies to be governed
outside the pale OF the constitution.
ave are all agreed that the civil
should always be superior to the
military power.
"Weall concur in the principle that
public taxation should be imposed
for public purposes only.
eve all favor freedom ofcommerce,
and therefore favor genuine reciproc'
ity with foreign nations, but all are
opposed to sham Republican reel
procity, which is only another name
for Republican hypocrisy.
There is no division in sentiment
in our opposition to corporate COM
binations of capital which create
monopolies. stiff, competition and
unreasonably enhance prices for tire
necessaries OF life.
Eve all stand for free trade in all
articles controlled by the trusts.
I'VE all desire justice for Cuba and
Justice to the consumers of the United
States also.
I'VE all stand where Jackson, Ben
ton and Tilden stood. in favor OF
hard money as opposed to an ire
deemable paper currency.
I'VE all recognize the dignity of la
Dor aud its right to demand just and
adequate compensation.
"Weare all opposed to animmense
standing armyin times OF peace.
. ave are all in fnvor of the consti
tutional reform involved in the elec
ton of United States senator's by the
people of the several states, rather
than by state legislatures.
1--WE all adhere to that doctrine
declared by Jefferson as follows
