or thing of value to be used in further
ing the election of q president or vice
president OF the limited States or of any
member Of the congress thereof.
We denOunce the action of the Re-
publican party, having complete con-
troll of the federal government. for it's
failure to pass the bill introduced in
the last congress to compel the publ
cation Of the names Of contributors and
the amounts contributed toward cam
paign funds. and point to the evidence
Of their inSinCCrity when they sought
by an absolutely irrelevant and impOs
sible amendment to defeat the passage
OF the bill AS further evidence Of
their intention to conduct the!r cam
paign in the coming contest with vast
sums Of money Wrested from favor
seeking corporations We call attention
to the fact that the recent Republican
national convention at Chicago refused
when tn" plank was presented to ii to
declar" against such practices.
We pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment Of law preventing any
corporation contributing to campaign

Tariff.
We welcome the belated promise of
tariff reform now affected bv the Re-
publican party in tardy recognition Of
the righteousness of the Democratic
position on this question: but these
people cannot safely intrust the exc
cution of this important work to a
party Which is so deeply obligated to
the highly protected interests as is the
Republican uarty. We call attention to
the signi. IT fact that the promised
relief we postponed until after the
