The Democratic policy is to enforce frugality in public expense and abolish unnecessary taxation. Our established domestic industries and enterprises should not and need not be endangered by the reduction and correction of the burdens of tax ation. On the contrary a fair and careful revision of our tax laws with due allowance for the difference be tween. the wages of American and foreign labor must promote and en courage every branch of such, indus tries and enterprises by giving them assurances of an extended market, and steady and continuous opera tions in the interests of American labor, which should in no event be neglected. Pevision of our tax laws completed by the Democratic party should promote, the advantage of such labor by cheapening the cost of necessaries of life in the home of every workingiuan and at the same time securing to him steady remu nerative employment.
