jue Democdatio NatiuNal Con-
VENTIOS.
Tha Dcmocratlo parly ol the Union,
through its representatives In untior.nl
conveullorj tiBsembleiV, reconblzea that,
as the nnlloD grows ulder, new issues nro
boru of time aud progress ami old isstus
perlbh. But the fuudameutnl principles
of the Dtmocrucy, npproyttl by the
united Voice of the people, remain, and
will ever remain', us the best nnJ only
aecurlly for tho conllntianco of free gov
eruuieut. The preservation of personal
rljjbtti, the equality of all ciliz?ti beture
he law, tho reserved rights ot the States
and the snprjumcy of the Federal Gov
ernment within tbu limits of the Consti
tution will ever iorm the (rue basis of
our libertiisutnl cau never be surrender
ed without destroying that balance of
rights and potters which enables a con
tinent to be developed in pcaco nnd
social order to be maintained by means
of local Kelf.goveruiueut. Iiut it is in
dispensable lor tho prnclio.il operation
nnd enforcement of these fundamental
principles that tho government uhould
not ulviays be controlled by one political
power. Frtquent chance.ol' administra
tion is ns necessary as coustaut ricur
rence to the popular will. Otherwihe
abuses grow nud the goverunieut.iiistead
of btiug ctrrled on lor tho general wtl
Inre, becomes an inslruuieutality for im
posing heavy burdens on the many who
re governed for the benifit of the lew
ho govern. Fnbiio servants thus be-
coiuo arbitrary rulers.
A CHANGE DEMANDED.
This is now tho condition of the coun
try, hence a change is demanded. The
epublican party, so far as principle is
coucerued, is a rttuiuUeence. In prac
tice it is nn orirauizition fur eurichina
those who control its machinery. The
frunds nnd jobbery which have been
brought to light in every department of
the
government nro sufficient to have
ilied lor reform within the Republican
party, yet those in authority, made reck.
ess by tho long possession of power,
ave succumbed to its corrupting in.
uence and hate placed in uomiuation n
cket agtiinst which the iudependtitt
portion of the party are in open revolt
Tberelore u change is dcm&nded. Such
change was alike neceiry in lo'C.btlt
the will of the people was theu deftatid
by u lrnud which cun uev, r be torgottui
nor condoned. Again tu 1850 the change
leniauded by tho people wits defeated bj
he lavish usa of tuouey contributed by
unscrupulous contractors nnd shameless
jobbers who had bargained for unlawlul
profits or for high office.
REPUBLICAN rAIfcUECS.
The Republican parly, during iln
legal, its stolen and its bought tenure
put.., decayed in mor.l
character aud political capacity. It
Itiliorm promises aie now a list of its
past failures. Ii demands the restora
tiou of our navy; it bus tqiinuderetl
hundreds of millions to create n navy
that does not exist. It caIIs npon Cot
gross tbo luud. ni nudir which American
shipping has beeu depressed; it imposed
and has continued those burdens. It
professes tho pel cy of reserving the
ublio lauds for small holdings by ac
tual setlleis; it hits given nwy the peo
ple'a beritago till now n few railroads
ud lion-resident aliens, individual nud
corporate, p ssessn larger urea than that
of all our tarms between tho two seas.
It professes n preference for Ireo institu
tioiit.; it organised aud tried to legalize
control of State elections by Federal
troops. It professes a desire to elevate
abort it has subjected American work-
ngtnen to the competition of convict
and imported contract labor. It pro
frsses gratitude lo nil who were disabled
or died in the war tenting widows nud
orphans; it left to a Detnocnilla House
Representatives the first tffort to
qunlizs both bounties and pensions It
proffers a pledge to correct the irregn
larilitn of our tariff; it created and has
continued tbem. lis own Tariff Com
mission confessed the need of more than
twenty per cent, reduction; it Cougrets
gave n reduction of less thun four per
ceut. It professes the protection ot
American manufactures; it has (subjected
them to an lucre-using flood of manufac
tured goods anil n hopeltss competition
with manufacturing ualious not one ol
which taxes raw materials. It profi-sses
to prottct all American industries; it has
impoverished m.iuy lo subsidize a few-
It professes the protectton of American
abor; it has depleted the returns of Am
ericuu agriculture, an industry followed
lyhalfofonr people. It professes the
qnilily of wen beiore tho law attempt
tig to fix the status of colored cilizai s,
tbe nets of its Cbugtess weru overset by
the decisions of its Court. It ''accept
anew the duly of lending in the work o
progress aud reform;'' its caught crimtu
als nre permitted tn escape through cou
tinned delays or actual counivanee tuth
prosecution.
Honeycombed, with corruption, on I'
breaking exposures no longer shock its
moral sense. Its honest members, its
independent journals, no longer main
tain a successtul contest for authority in
its counsels or a vote npon bad uomioa
Hods.
That cbsDpe is necessary is proved by
an eilstiug surplus of more than S1C0,
000,000, which has yearly been collected
from a suffering people. Unnecessary
taxation is unjust taxation. We do
nnnncn the Republican parly lor haYiug
failed to relieve the people from crnsb
tng war taxes, which have pinlyzed
busiuess. crippled Industry and deprited
labor of employment nud of just reward
EEDUCISO TAXATION.
The Democracy pledges itself to purl
fy tbe administration from corruption,
restore economy, to r-vive r.apect for
law and to reduce taxaliou to the lowest
limit consistent with due regard to tbe
preservation of tbe faith of tbe nation to
lis creditors and pensioners, Knowing
full well, however, that legislation affect
ing the occupations of the people should
be cnullous nud conservative lu method,
not in advance of public .opinion, but
responsive lo its demands, tbe Demo
cratic party is pledged to revise the tariff
lu n spirit of fairness to nil interests.
Hut in making reduction lu taxes it is
not proposed to injure any domestic in-
nsltlix, but rather to promote their
healthy growth. From the foundation
f Ibis government taxes collected at the
Custom Ilousehave been the chief source
of Federal revenue; such they must eon-
tine to be. Moreover, many industries
nVeconiD to rely npon legislation for
hticcetfilul continuance, so that nnv
lmtico ol lair must be ut every step re-
gnrdiel of the labor and capital' thus in
volvtd. The process of reform must be
subject in the execution to this plain
dictate of justice.
LABlij; MUi.T DE JnoTECTED
All lax.ittuii shall be limited to the re

A CONTINENTAL TOLICT.
Wo favor an American continental
policy based Upon more intimate eotu-
niercial and political relitinus uirh the
ti 1 1 e e ti siler Republics of North, Central
ami south America, but entangling nlli-
nces witn none.
Wo believe in honest money, the cold
aud silver coinage of the Constitution
ud a circulatiny medium convertible
tulo such money without loss.
As.eernug tbe equality of all men be
fore the law, we hold that it is the duly
il tbo government, in it dealings witti
he people, lo mete out equal nud exact
uslice to nil citizens, ot whatever na-
mty, race, color or perriiaslon, religi
ous or political.
We believe in a free billot nnd n fair
count unit we recall to tbe memory ot
the people tbe noble struggle nf Ibe
Democrats in the Forly llltli aud Forty
sixth Congress. S, by which n reluctant
llep,ililiuu.plkj,lpn Wttrt eomutlled
to absent to legislalfon-uiakirrg- every
where illegal the presence of Iroops tit
the polls, as tho conclusive proot that n
Democratic ndutiniatratiuu will preserve.
lberly with order.
The selection of Federal officers for
tho Territories nhoiild bo reslric.ed to
ciljzens pr vinnslv resident therein.
We oppose sumptuary laws which vex
tho citizen nud ltilerl'tre with lu. iviilr.nl
liberty; we favor honefit cirll service re
foitns nud the compel. s iliou of nil
Uuitod States officers by fixed siliries;
tbe separatum ol (Jbtircb and Htate, aim
the diffusion of free education by com
mon schools, bo that eyery child in the
and may bo taught the mills uuu dn-
iten of citizenship.
While we favor nit legislation which
will tend tn the equitable distribution ul
iropertv, to the tireveutinu nf mononly
nudtostiict cnlorcuueut of individual
rights ngalnst corporate abuses, we bold
bat the welfare ot society depends upon
a scrupulous regard tor the rights of
proieriyu.sileuuedoyi.v, wo believe
that labor is best rewarded where it i's
reest and most euligbted. It should
herelore be fostered m.d cherished. We
favor the repeal of all laws restricting
the free notion of labor, nnd the en
actment of laws by which labor orgaui
zitlons muy be incorporated, r.ud ol all
such legislation ns will tone to enlighten
tbe people as to lue true relation ol capi
tal and lauor.
LAUD onANTS.
We believo that the public land might
as far as possible to lie Kepi as Home,
steads for actual settlers; that nil un
earned lands heretofore improvideutly
ur.iuted tn rnilro.in corporations by the
action of tho Rjpublioiu parly should
lie rtslored to tbe imblio domain, unci
