tween the platform of the Republican
party on the subject of the publicity
of campaign contributions and the plat
form of the Democratic party on the
same matter.
Tariff Adjustment Favored.
we reiterate the slogan of our
standard bearer that the people shall
rule, and to that END we emphasize Il
concordance with the pledge in our
platform to pass such a aw or to
secure such constitutional amendments
as will confer upon the people the in
estimable privilege and right of elect
ing by a direct vote candidates for the
United States Senate.
I'VE believe in the Democratic propo-
sition Ia government should be so
administered as to secure equal rights
to all and special privileges to none,
and in pursuance thereof we favor ar
early adjustment of the tariff schedules
so that the consumer, the manufac-
turer and the laborer may secure the
greatest possible governmental advan-
tages consistent with the common
good"
I'm this regard we charge the Repub-
lican party with insincerity for their
failure to pass those remedial measures
introduced In the last House of Repre-
sentatives by Democrats which ad-
mittedly called for readjustment.
Eight and twelve years ago respec-
lively the voice of the orator assured
us that Republican policies and execu-
tives signifed financial probity and
s%oundness. Today and for a yea last
past we have witnessed a financial and
industrial panic unparalleled in the an
nals of monetary science. An array of
unemployed mechanics and laborers are
silent out tragic witnesses to defcien-
cies of a reprehensible tariff and cur
rency system. An emergency finan-
cial measure. known as the Aldrich-
Vreeland act, entirely inadequate in
it's requirements to meet the demand
which a money stringency necessitated
a changed the basis of bank cur
rency and stands today as a legal invi-
tation to the adroitness of the profess
sional stock Spectator. Not only Is
there a necessity for the application of
new remedies, whose efficiency islegally
established shut the ministration must
be entrusted to more skilful and care
full hands.
foT ldDOT III SeIleTdi, dnu especially
for those believers in organization, who
by their brains and industry have COM
bined for their mutual advancement,
the Democratic party is especially
solicitous. We believe that our party's
pledge to secure a department Of labor,
to vigorously enforce the eight-hour
law in all government work, a Federal
employers liability act and to secure

American workmen.
Further the Democratic party be-
lieves that no laboring man in indus
trial disputes In equity should be de-
MED the rights which the constitution
regards as inalienable in the prosecu-
ton of the humblest citizen in the
land.
Party Fights Buried.
This year the Democratic party is
to be congratulated upon the harnoni-
Gus cooperation manifested in every
city and county of our State. All the
former differences of Democratic lead
ers and factions have been buried in
the dust of oblivion, never we hope. to
rise again. Fighting for the promul-
cation and advancement of the princi-
pies that ineradicably permeate the
fibre of American achievement and SUI
premacy, with a standard-bearer in
vincible mt u~ndaunted by momentary
setbacks, inspired by the rectitude
corn of his advocacy of a righteous
cause and commanding respect for his
intellectual attainments, we go forth to
battle for the propagation of our creed.
Relying upon the justice and Impair
TALLY OF the American people and the
citizens of New Jersey, whose interests
are our interests. we place our trust In
their deliberations and to them we COM
mend our platform and our nominees"
