ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT.

1. Large reductions can readily be made in
the annual expenditure of the Government
without impairing the efficiency OF any branch
of the public service and We shall insist upon
the strictest economy and frueaIity compatibls
with vigorous and efficient civil, military and
naval administration as a right OF the people
too clear to be denied or withheld.
,. The enforcement OF honesty in the public
service and thorough legislative Investigation
Of those departments of the Government al
ready known to TEEN with corruption, as well
as other departments suspected Of hsrboring
corruption and the punishment Of ascertained
corruptionists without fear or favor or regard
70 persons. The persistent and deliberate re-
fussl Of the Senate and House OF Representa-
tves TO permit such investigation to be made
by either branch of Congress demonstrates that
only by change in the executive can COM
plete exposure and punishment Of corruption
be obtained The Government should not per-
NIT itself to be robbed by entering into con-
TRACTS with convicted trusts or unlawful COM
biIations in restraint of interstate trade We
believe that one Of the best methods of pro-
curing economy and honesty in the public
service is to have public officials return as
nearly may be to Jeffersonian simplicity
of living.
3. We favor the nomination and election
of President trained in the ways of the
constitution. who shall place his face sternly
against corruption Of legislation and judicial
functions, whether Veiled under the guise Of
executive construction of existing laws or

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

We favor a wise, conservative and business
like revision and gradual reduction of the
tariff by the friends Of the masses and for the
commonwealth ana not by the friends Of its
abuses. its eXtortions and its determinations
keeping in view the ultimate end Of equality
Of burdens and equality of opportunities and
the constitutional purpose of raising a revenue
by taxation. to wit: the support Of me Fed
eral Government in all its integrity and
yirility, and keeping also in view existing con-
ditions- however wrongfuliy mistakenly or
unjustly brought about. and the danger to the
cause Of tariff reform itself of ABRUPT reversal
Of policy.
We should bear in mind. in short. these two
things First the general principle that the
sole OBJECT OF the power OF taxation is the sun
