The Constitution is the great

plete freedom of conscience, property
rights and the independence of courts,
must be preserved without invasion
or impairment.
Reduction of Taxes.
Every one faVors, so far as pos
/ sible, a radical reduction of tax bur
dens, but the question whether such
reduction shall be chiefly upon the
moderate incomes or upon the great
! incomes Is one upon which the parties
sharply differ. The democratic party
favors making the principal reduction
upon the smaller incomes.
One method which ought to be en-
| ployed Immediately is the practice of
rigid economy in all government af-
fairs, including the abolition of use
less boards and bureaus and the dis
charge of the vast army of useless
agents now engaged in consuming the
public revenues.
"Recognizing fully the duty to re-
strain the eXcesses of great aggrega-
