Sec. 2. w e warn he people id our ce'ii-
mon country jealous lor the preservation „1
their free institutions that the policy ot Fed- >
eral control ot elections to which the Ke- |
publican party has committed itself is
fraught with the gravest dangers scarcely
less momentous that would result from a
revolution practically establishing monar-
chy on the ruins of the Republic.
It strikes at the North as well as the South
and injures th-) colored citizens even more
teen the whites. It means a horde ol dep-
uty marshals at every polling place armed
with Federal power returning boards ap-
pointed and controlled by Federal author-
ity the outrage ot the electoral rights ot the
people in the several States the subjugation
ot the colored people to the control of the
party in power ana the reviving of race an
tngonism now happily abated ofthe utmost
peril to the safety and happiness ot all; a
measure deliberately and justly described by
a leading Republican Senator “as the most
infamous bill that ever crossed the tbre-h
old of the Senate.” such policy it sanc-
tioned by law would mean the dominance
of a self perpetuating oligarchy ot office-
holders and the party first ■ ntrust-d with
its machinery could be dislodged from pow-
er only by an appeal to the reserved right
of the people to resist oppressior which is
inherent in all -self-governing communities.
Two years ago this revolutionary power
was emphatically condemed by the people
at the polls; but in contempt of that verdict
the Republican party has defiantly declared
in its latest authoritative utterance that its
succe sin the coming election will moan
the enacment ot the force bill and tbousur-
patiou of despotic control over elections in
all the States.
Believing that tne proser anon ot repub-
lican government in the United Stales is
dependent upon the defeat ot this policy of
legalized force and fraud we invite the
support of ■ 11 citizens who desire to see the
Constitution maintained in its integrity with
the laws pursuant thereto which hav given
ourcoumrv a hundred yearsot nn. xanplevt
prosp-'ritv; and w pledge the Demoeialii
party ii it o- ini u te-l wi fi po.u r not
only to the detent o the tore-- bill hut also
to rosenlle.-s opposition to the K-'pubiican
policy of prolligate expenditure which in
the short space ot two y ar- has sqn uidered
an enormous surp us auu eiuplie lau over-
flowing tre.su y alter piling new buidens ol
taxation upon the already overtaxed lahor
of the country
TARIFF TAXATION.
Sec. 3. We denounce R publican pro-
lection as a irnud. The robbery ol the great
majority of the American people lor the
benefit of the low We declare it to be a
fundamental principle ot the Democratic par-
ty that the Federal Government has im con-
stitutional power to impose and collect tariff
duties except for the purposes ol revenue
only and we den and that the collection of
such taxes shall be limited to the necessities
of the Government when honestly and econ-
omically administi red.
We denounce the McKinley tariff law en-
acted by the Fitty-first Congress as ths cul
minuting atrocity of class legislation; we in-
dorse the efforts made by the Democrats ol
the present Congress to modity its most op-
pressive features in the direction of free raw
materials and cheaper m .nulaeturad goods
that enter into genoral coo. uu.ption and we
promise its repeal as one of the beneficent
results that will follow the action ol the
peopk in mtrust'ng p iwerlo the Democrat-
ic party. Since tne McKini ij lajitf went
into operation there have been ten educ-
tions of the wages ot laboring men to one
increase. Wo deny that there has been any
increase of property to the country since
that tariff went into operation; we point to
the dullness and distress which wage reduc-
tions and strikes in the iron trade as the
best possible evidence that no such pros
parity has resulted from the MeKi.iby act.
We call the attention ot thoughtful Amer-
icans to the fact tha' after thirty years of
restrictive taxos against the importation ot
foreign wealth in exchange for our agricul-
tural surplus the homes and farms ot the
country have become burdened with a real
estate mortgage debt ot o er .I>2 600000000
exclusive of all other forms of iuoobled-
nest; that in one of the chief agricultural
Stalos of the West there appems a real es-
tate mortgage debt averaging $lO6 per cap-
ita oi the total population; and that similar
conditions and tendances are shown to o isl
in the other agricultural exporting B'ates.
Wo denounce a policy whicn iosteiv no in-
dustry so much as it 'loos that of the sh trill.
ALLZQBD BKCIPHOCITY.
Sec. 4. Trade exchange on tho basis of
reciprocal advantages to the countries par-
ticipating is a t inu -honored dm trine of the
Democratic faith but we denounce the sh'un
reciprocity which juggins with the p n opk’.-
desre tor enlar nd t reign market- and
freer exchange by pretending to establish
closer trade relations with a country whose
articles of export arc almost exclusively ag-
ricultural products with other countries tint
are also agricultural while erecting a cus-
tom house barrier of prohibitive tariff taxes
against the richest countries of the world
that stand ready to take our entire surplus
of products and to exchange therefor com-
modities wince are iicceanirnji and comlorts
of life among our own people.
AGAINST TRUSTS.
Sec. 6. Wo recognize in tho trusts and
combinations which are designed to enable
capital to secure more than its jnet share of
the joint product of capital and libor and
natural consequence ol tho prohibitive taxes
which prevent the free competition which
is tho lite of honest trade; hut wo believe
their worst evils can bo abated by law and
wo demand the rigid enforcement of the laws
made to control and prevent thorn together
with such further legislation in restraint ot
thoir abuses us experience may show to bo
nocoss ary.
KKPUot.IOAN LAND HTKAU.
Bee. 0. Tho Republican parly while pro-
felting policy of reserving tbo public bind
lor small holdings by actual settlors has
g von away the people’s heritage till now a
few railroads and non-rosidont aliens indi-
vidual and corporate possess a larger area
than that of all our farms betwemthe two
soas. Tho last Democratic administration
reversed the improvident and unwise policy
ol tho Republican party touching tho do-
main and reclaimed from e irpoiatlons and
syndicates alien and domestic and restored
to tho people nearly 100000000 acres of
valuable lands to be lacedly hold ns home-
steads lor our eilmnns and wo pledge our-
selves to continue this policy until every
acre of land so unlawfully held shall be re-
claimed and rostered to the people.

tory 10 per cent tax on State bank issues b-
repealed.

nounce a policy under which i ederal office-
holders usurp control of party conventions
in the ta'.e- aim we pledge the Dcmoeiatic
p rty to the reform ot the=e and all other
abuses which threaten individual liberty and
self-government
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
See. 10. The Democratic party is the only
party that has ever given the country a for-
eign policy consistent and vigorous com-
pelling respec. abroad and inspiring confi-
dence at home. While avoiding entangling
alliances it has aimed to cultivate friendly
relations with other nations and especially
with our neighbors on the American Conti-
nent whose destiny is closely linked with
our own and we view with alarm the ten-
oency to a policy of irritation and bluster
which is liauie to confront us with the alter-
native ol humihaticn or war at any lime.
We favor the maintenance of a navy
stiong enough for all purposes of naiional
defense > nd to properly maintain the honor
and dignity of the country rbroad.
KKMONSTRANCK WITH RUSSIA.
Sec. 11. This country has always been
the refuge of the oppressed from every land
—exiles for conscience sake—and the spirit
of the founders of our Government we con-
demn the oppression practiced by the Rus-
sian Government upon its Lutheran and
Jewish subjects and we call upon our Na
tioual Goverment in the interest of justice
and humanity by all just and proper meam
to use its prompt ana best efforts to bring
about a cessation of these cruel persecutions
in the i ominion of the l.zar and to secure to
the oppressed equal ngnts.
We lender our profound and earnest sym-
pathy to those lovers of fre dom who are
struggling for home rile and the great cause
of self government in Ireland.
IMMIGRATION.
Sec 12. We heartily approve all legiti-
mate efforts to prevent tho United Slat s
irom being used as the dumping ground for
the known criminals and paupers of Luropi;
and we demand the rigid enforcement of tbu
aw- aga nsl . tiineso mmur.tion ai d tai.

PENSIONS.

ti e expiessiou of a .prociation of the . alr.-
otis i. ot the soldi rs and >a lors < f the Un-
ion in the war of its presorvi.l on :nl we

bled Union soldiers tneir widows and d—-
pendents but we demand that tho wo I.
of tho Pensi< n office shall be done industri-
ously impartially and honestly. W-> de-
nounce the present administration of th t
office-s incompetent corrupt dugr.cefixl
and dishonest.
WATERWAY IMPROVEMENTS.
Bec 14. The Federal Government should
car. so and improve the Mississippi River
nd other great waterways cf the Repubiii
so as to secuieior the interior State- easy
and che-p transpor ation to t.dewa ei
When any wute way of the Repuolie is of
sufficient importance to demand aid of th.
Government such aid should f o ettenii .
upon a definite plan ot continuous work un-
til permanent improvement is secured.
NICARAGUA CANAL.
Sec. 15. For purposes of national de-
fense and the promotion ot commerce be-
tween tha States we recognize the early
conslr ction of the Nicaragua Canal anu its
protect on against foreign contro. as ot
great importance to the U nited States.
TUB WORLD’S FAIR.
Sec. 16. Recognizing the World’s Col-
umbian Kxpositim as a national undertak-
ing of vast importance in which the general
government has invited the co-operation ol
ail th powers of the world and appreciat-
ing the a ci ptanco by many ot such powers
of the hivita ion so e.tend i<i and the i-ruad
and libeial efforts being made by tafni to
contribute to the gr ndeur of tha undertak-
ing we are of the opinion that Congress
should make such necessary financial pro
vision as shall be requisite t. the mainten-
ance of the naiional honor and pubhc faith.
THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
Sec. 17. Popular education being the on-
ly safe basis ot popular suffrage we recom-
mend to the several States most liberal ap-
propriation for the public school.. Free
common schools are the ntuaery of good
government and they have always received
tlio fostering c re oi tho Democratic party
which favors every moans ot increasing in-
telligence. Freedom of education being an
essential of civil and religious liberty as well
a- a necessity tor the development of intel-
ligence must not bo interfered with under
any pretext whatever. We are opposed to
State interference with parental rights or
rights ot conscience in the education of
children as an infringement ot the funda-
mental Democratic doctrine that the largest
individual liberty consistent with tho rights
of others insures tlio highest typo of Ameri-
can citizenship and tho bust government.
ADMISSION OF THE TBURITOBIKS.
bom 18. Woapprovc tlio action of tho
present House of Representatives in passing
bills admitting into the Union as States the
Territories of Now Mexico and Arizona and
we favor the early admission of all the Ter-
ritories having the nncossary population and
resources to entitle them to Statehood mid
while they remain Territories wo hold that
tho otllcials appointed to administer tlio gov
ernmonl of any Territory together with the
District of Columbia and Alaska should bo
bona tide residents of the '1 orritory or dis-
trict in which heir duties are to . lie per-
formed. '1 he Demooratic party btiliovos in
home rule a d tho control of their own af-
fairs by the people of tne vicinage.
raoTKUTioN of railway employes.
bee. ID. We favor legislation by Con-
gress and r tale legislatures to protect the
fives and I’mbs of railway employes and
those of other hazardous transportation
omnpanios and denounai tho Inactivity of
the Ri publican p rty and particularly the
Ropubbean Senate for causing the defeat
of measures beneficial and protective to
this class oi wage-goers.

done by depriving the people of th- right to j
hold their own e ections and choose their

famous and execrable force bill.
It treateu with utter contempt all ideas ot

ter and spi’it
We declare our faith in the capacit of

We denounce tne Republican party be- :
cause it turned its back upon the interests

tunes with corporate v.e llh squalid rng

great sections of Ihe country are covered
with mortgages and the markets of the
world closed to the fruits of honest .toil.
A e denounce tho McKinley tariff as a
crime against honest government and a fiee
pe pie rot only because it levies an unnee- j
essary tax and thereby imposes wanton aim
cruel burdens on the people but because it
destroys the markets ler their surplus pro-
ducts.
Wedeuounce it because it is class Ivgishv
tion enacted in the interest of the favored

and tor the oppression ol the gro t mass ol

\\ e denounce it because it does opt in-
crease wages out surrenders the taxing pow-
er ofthe Government to ihu nuiuufactur. is

used to raise necessary revenue for tho sup-
port of the Government into tho moans of

We denounce it because it inaugurated
for the that time in a freo Government the
practiceol taking from the public treasury

Irom all tho people and with it pay boun-

We denounce it because it destroys the in- j
dependence and self-reliance of the people j
which is a National characteristic ».id

Wodonounce it because the inevitable

A one legged political orator named
Jones who was pretty successful in
bantering an Irishman was asked by
the later “how he had come to lose his
leg.” “Well” said Jones “on examin-
ing my pedigree and looking up my
descent 1 found there was some Irish
blood in me and becoming convinced
that it had ail settled in that left leg
I had it cut off at once.” “Be the pow-
ers” said I’at “it ’ud ev been a deuced

There is anly one way to cure deafness
Hud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the niuscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation
enn be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition hear-
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
w hich is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by tak-
ing Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars; free.
