the country.

legiance and devotion to the
principles of our party as ex-

House of Representatives, and
of Democratic Senators in their
efforts to fulfill the Democratic

ty to so revise the tariff laws;
that the heavy burdens now i'm
posed for the benefit of the spe-
cial interests may be lifted from
the shoulders of the great mass
es of our people. We denounce
the Republican party for its
failure to give such relief and
especially for its enactment of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
I'm addition to the repeal of
the protective tariff laws which
have created and fostered the
trusts, we promise such legisla-
as may be necessary to strength
en- antitrust laws, and make
certain the punishment of all
those controlling and profting
by such unlawful combinations.
