(Minna effort and cn-ooeralioa to this end : and do hereby appeal to our fel lowr-citizuna of every forriier. political eenectin, 4e undertako .with us tln first and most pressing patriotic duty, For the Democracy of the whole coun try, we do here reaffirm our faith in th permanence of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of th United States with its amendments udi veraally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies mac engenuerea emi wr. and do here record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of Hrpul lican Self Government. In liilnto acnuiescence in the will nt tha mitiorit the vital principle of republics ; in the supremacy of the civil r the military authority : in the total aonamtion of Cbnrcb and State, for the ale alike of civil and religions freedom in the equality of all citizens before junt laws of their own enactment ; in the lib ertv of individual conduct, unvexed by sumptuary lawa ; in the faithful educa tion of the rising generation, that thry mav preserve, enjoy, and transmit these best conditions of human happiness an hope, we behold the noblest products of a hundred years or cnangeiui nisiory hut while upholding the bond oi our Union and trreat Charter of these our riirhta. it behooves a free ihiI to nrae lion aim that eternal viirilance which is Reform is necessary to rebuild and : establish in the hearts of the whole peo ple, the Union, eleven years ago happily rescued irom cno uangcr oi otmmiuu of Rates : but now to be saved from a nmint Centralism which, after inflic ting unon ten State the rapacity of "carpet-bag tyrannies, pas - honeycombed "the- offices fthe Federal- Government itself with incapacity, -waste, and fraud infected States and municipalities with lithe contanation of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of an industrious peo ple in the paralysis of 4,Ilard Times.'' ! ""HErokJria -Tece8sry-4-stailib sound currency.restore the public credit, and maintain the national honor. . ' ., i We denounce the failure for alt these - eleven years of peace to make good the promise of the legal-tender notes, which are a changing standard of value in the hands of the people, and .the non-pay nicnt of which is a disregard of the idivhted faith of the nation. We denounee the improvidence which in eleven years of peace has taken from the people In federal cases cnirteen times the whole amount of the legal tender notes and squand' red four times their sum in useless expense without ae cumulating any reserve for their redemp tion. We denounce the financial imbecility and immorality of that party which, durinff eleven years of peace, has made no advance toward"resumption, no pre. paration for resumption, but instead his obstructed resumption, by wasting or resources and exhaustiug all our surplus income ; and, while annually professing to intend a speedy return to specie pay. ments. has annually enacted fresh nia drances thereto. As such hindrance we denounce the Resumption-dsy clause of the act of 1873 and demand Ha re We demand a judicious system of preparation by public economies, by official retrenchments, , and by wise finance, which shall enable the nation . soon to assure the whole world of its perfect ability and its perfect readiness to meet any of iu promises at the call of the creditor entitled to payment.- -T We believe such a system, well de vised, and. above all, intrusted takeout " petent hands foV execution, creating at no time an artificial scarcity of currency and at no time alarming the public mind into a withdrawal of that vaster machin ery of credit by "which W per cent, of all business transactions are informed,-a " system open, public, and inspiring gen- eral confidence, would from the day of . . - a a Si.-" its adoption oring neaung on us wings to all our harassed industries, set in mo tion the wheels of commerce manufac tures and tbo mechanic arts, restore employment to labor, and renew in ail its natural sources the prosperity of the people. ' Rkfobm is necessary in the sum and modes of Federal Taxation, to the end that capital may be set free from distrust;, and labor lightly burdened. j We denounce the present Tariff, levwd upon nearly 4,000 articles, as a master piece of injustice, inequality, and false pretense. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It has impover ished many industries to subsidize a few. It prohibits imports that might purchase the products of American labor. It has tlegraded American commerce from the first to an inferior rank on the high seas. It has cut down the sales of American manufactures at home and abroad, and depleted t!e return of American agri culture an industry followed by half our people. , It ct its the people five times more than it produces to the treasury, obstructs the processes of pro duction, and wastes the fruits of labor. - It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dishonest officii) Is, and bank rupts honest merchants. We demand that all Custom House taxation shall be only for Revenue. i 5 Reform is necessary, in the scale of Public Expense Federal, State and Municipal'. Onr Federal taxation has swollen from CO millions gold, in 1880, to 450 millions currency, in 1870 ; our aggregate taxation" from " IS4 millions . gold in 1800, to 730 millions currency in 1870 ; or in one decade, . from kss than 5 per bead tixruoiQ than f 18 per bead. t Since the peace, the people have paid Refobm ia necessary to correct the omissions of a Republican Congress and the errors of our treaties and our diplo macy which have stripped our fellow citizens of foreign birth and kindred race recrossing the Atlantic, of the shield of American citizenship, and have exposed our brethren of the IV cilio coast to the incursions of a race not sprung from the same great parent stock, Odd itrfact now toy raw-denied citizenship through naturalization as being neither accustomed to the tradi tions of a progressive civilization nor exercised in liberty under equal laws. We denounce the olicy , which thus discards the Ubcrty-loviug German and tolerates the revival of the coolie trade In Mongolian women imported for Im moral purposes, and Mongolian men hired to perform servile labor contract, Rkkokm is necesary and can never be e rlected but by making It the con trolling issue of the elections," and lilt ing it above the two false issues with which the office-holding slas and the party In power seek to t oother it 1. The false issue with which they would enkindle sectarian strife in re spect to the public schools, of which the establishment and support belong exclusively to the several Mates, and which the Democratic party haa cheer ished from their foundation, and ia re solved to maintain without prejudice or preference for any class, sect, or creed. and without largesses from the treasury to any. 3. The false issue by which they seek to light anew the dying embers of sectional hate between kindred people ouce estranged, but now reunited in out) indivisible republic and common destiny. ; -'i- , Kekokm Is necessary in the t'iv Service. Experience " proves that ef ficient, economical conduct of the gov4 ermental business la not possible u its civil service be subject to change at every election, be a price fought lor at the ballot boxr be brief . xewartL.,01 party zeal, instead of posts of honor assigned for proved competency, and held for fidelity in tbe public employ that the dispensing of patronage should neither be a tax ' upon the time of all our public men, nor the instrument of their ambition. Here- again- premise- talsiUcd In the performance, attest that the party in power can work out no practical or salutary reform. - UejokmIs necessary even more in the higher grades of the public service. President, Vice-President, Judges, Senators, Representatives, Cabinet officers, these and all others in authority are the people's servants. Their offi ces are not a private perquisite ; they are a public trust. when the annals or this ttepubiic show the disgrace and censure of a Vice-President: a late Speaker of the House of Representatives marketing his rulings as a presiding officer ; three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as-law-maker t five chairmen of the leading committees of the late House of Representatives exposed in jobbery : a late Secretary of the Treas ury torcing balance in the public .ac counts S a late Attorney-General mis appropriating public iunds : a Secretary of the : Navy enriched or enriching friends, by percentages levied off the profits of contractors with his depart- sured in a dishonorable speculations the President's Private Secretary barely escaping conviction upon trial lor guilty complicity iu irauas upon tne reveuue a Secretary of War impeached for high: crimes and misdemeanors, the de monstration Is complete, that the first step in Reform must be the people'i choice of honest men from .another party, lest the disease of one political organization infect the body politic, and lent by making no cnange ot men or parties we get no change of measures and no real Reform. , "ATI .Hicse a'bnset; "wrong and crimes the product or sixteen years' asccn aancy ot uie nepuiuican party.ereate a necessity lor Reform, confessed by Re publicans themselves ; but their refor mers are voted down m convention aud displaced from tho Cabinet. The parly's mas of honest voter is power- ess to resist the eo.uuu office-holder, Its leader and guide. Reform can only be had by a peaceful civic revolution, we demand a change of system, a change of administration, a change of parties, that we may have a change of measures and of men.
