federal goVernneaS or denied to the states. This balance of powers be- tween the state and federal govern ments is essential to the life of the republic
 Fifth-The democratic party be- lieves in the exercise by the federal government of it's delegated powers in such way as to protect the inter- ests of all the people without giving favoritism to any part of the country equal rights to all and special priv iIeges to none being it's motto.
 +Sixth-Thc democratic party. be- lieving that governments rest upon the consent of the governed. is in favor of such improvements in the methods of government as will make the government more directly respon- sibie to the people and more respon- sive to the will of the people. It nat urally favors the election of senators by direct vote of the people, the di- rect primary, and the initiative and referendum.
 Seventh-In taxation the democratic party believes that the burdens of gov ernment should be collected in such a way that each citizen will contribute in proportion to the benefits received under the protection of the govern ment. Carrying out this theory of taxation. it has opposed a tariff levied purely for the purpose of protection and has urged the income tax as a means of equalizing taxation.
 Eighth-The democratic party be- lieyes in economy in public expendi- turcs. Taxation being not Q blessing but a necessary evil, should be limited to the needs of the government eco nomicaIiy administered

 Tweifth-The democratic party is opposed to imperialism at home or abroad, and denies that a republic can ieonsi,tently hold colonies and admin. ister governments outside of and in conflict with the principles of the con. stitution of the United Staes.
 Thirteenth-As might be inferred from the foregoing. the democratic party is. opposed to swollen fortunes and it would relieve the country of the menace of such fortunes by withdraw ing the special privileges which have enabled thsee fabnlous fortunes to be accumulated in So short a time. Il would restore in society Coos law oi towards so far as government is able ,o do go. Gods law, as shown in na Lure. suits the reward to the contri hufion ore makes in eaerg ipdastrs land intelligence.
