human happiness and hope, wo behold tho
noblest products of a hundred years of
changeful history. But while upholding the
bond of our Union nnd tho great charter of
these, our rights, it behooves a l'roo people to
practice also that eternal vigilance which is
the price of liberty.
Reform iB necessoiy to rebuild and estab
lish in the hearts ol tho wliolo pooplo the
Union, eleven yenrs ago happily rescued from
tho danger of a secession of States, but now
to ho saved from a corrupt centralism which,
after inflicting upon ten States the rapacity
of carpet-bag tyrannies, has honey-combed
the officers of the Federal Government itself
with incapacity, waste and fraud; infooted
States and municipalities with the contagion
of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of
an industrious people in the paralysis of
hard times.
Reform is - necessary to establish a sound
curroncy, restore the public credit, and main
tain the national honor. Wo denounce the
failure for all thoso eleven years to make
good the promise of tho legal-tender notes,
which are a changing standard of value in
tho hands of the people, and the non-payment
of which is a disregard of the plighted faith
of the nation. We denounoe the improvi
dence which in eleven years of peace has
token from the people in . Federal taxeg
thirteen times -the wholo amount of the legal-
tender notes, and squandered four times this
sum in useless expense, without aconmulnting
any reserve for their redemption. Wo de
nounce tho finnnoial imbecility and immoral
ity of that party which, during eleven years
of pence, has made no advance towards re
sumption, and no preparation for resumption,
hut instead has obstructed resumption by
waiting our resources and oxiiausting all our
surplus ineomo, and while annually profess
ing to intoud a spoody return to spoeio pay-
raonts, has annually enacted fresh hindrances
thereto. As suoh a hindrance wo denounce
the resumption olauso of tho net of 1875, nnd
wo here demand its repeal. Wo demand a
judicious system of preparation by public
economics, by offioial retrenchments, and by
wise financial management, which shall en-
tiblo the nation soon to assure the whole
world of its perfect ability and its perfect
readiness to meet any of its promises nt the
call of tho oreditor entitled to payment. Wo
believe suoh a system, wolf devised, and
nbovo all entrusted to competent hands for
execution, oreating at no time an artificial
scarcity of currency, and at no time alarming
the puhiio mind into a withdrawal of that
vaster machinery of credit by whioh 95 per
cont, of all husinoss transactions nro per
formed, a system open, public, nnd inspiring
general confidence, would, from the any of
its adoption, bring healing on its wings to
ail our harassed industries nnd set in motion
the wheels of commerce, manufactures and
tho mcchauioal arts, restore employment to
labor nnd renew in all its national sources
tho prosperity of tho people.
Reform is necessary in tiie sum and mode
of Fcdornl taxation, to tho ond that capital
may he sot froo from distrust nnd labor light
ly burdened. Wo deuounco tho present
tnrifl, levied upon nearly four thousand arti
cles, as a masterpiece of injuatico, inequality
and false pretense. It yields a dwindling,
not a yearly-rising, revenue; it has impover
ished many industries to subsidise a few -, it
prohibits imports that might purchase the
produots of American labor; it has degraded
American commerce from the first to on infe
rior rank upon the high seas; it has out down
tho sales of American manufactures at home
nnd abroad, and depleted the returns ol
American agriculture, an industry followed
by half of our people; it costs the people
five times moro than it produces to (lie Treas
ury, obstructs the processes of production
and wastes tho fruits of labor; it promotes
fraud and fosters smuggling, enriches dishon
ost officials and bankrupts honest merchants.
Wo demand that nil custom-house taxation
shall bo only for revenue.
Reform is necessary in tho scale of public
exponso, Federal, State and municipal. Our
Federal taxation has swollen from $60,000,000
gold in 1860 to $450,000,000 curronov in
1870, and our aggregate taxation from $154,-
000,000 gold in i860 to $730,000,000 eurronoy
in 1870, or in one decado from loss than five
dollars por head to mure than eighteon dollars
per head. Since tho restoration of peace, tho
people have paid in taxes more than thrioe
the sum of tho national debt, and more than
twice that sum for tho Federal Government
alone. Wo demand a rigorous frugality in
evory department, and from ovory officer of
tho Government.
Reform is necessary to put a stop to the
profligate waste of public lands nnd their
diversion from actual settlers by tho party in
power, whioh lias squandered two hundred
millions oi acres upon railroads alono, and
out of more than thrice that aggregate lias
disposed of less than a sixth directly to tillers
of tho soil. ,
Reform is necessary to correct the omissions
of a Republican Congress nnd the errors of
our treaties and our diplomacy which have
stripped our fellow-citizens of foreign birtli
nnd kindred race, recrossing the Atlantic, of
the shield of American citizenship, anp have
exposed our brethren of the Pacific const to
tho incursions of a race not sprung from tiic
same great parent stock, and, in fact, nuw by
law denied oitizonship, though naturalisnt on
is boing neither accommodated to tho tradi
tions of a progressive civilization nor exer
oised in liberty under equal laws. We de
nounce the policy which thuB discards the
liberty-loving German and tolerates the
revival of the Coolio trade in Mongo’ian
women, imported for immoral purposes, and
Mongolian men, held to porform servile lubor
contracts, and demand such modification of
tho treaty with the Chinese empire, --r such
legislation within constitutional limitation, as
Bliall prevent tho further importation or im
migration of tho Mongolian raco.
Reform is noccssary aud can never be
effected hut by making it tho controlling issue
of tho oloctions and lifting it above the two
false issues with which the offico holding
class and the party in power seek to smother
it—tbo false issuo with which they would
enkindle sectarian strifo in respeot to tho
puhiio schools, of whioh tho establishment
and support belong exclusively to the several
States, and which the Democratic party has
cherished from tlioir foundation, and is re
solved to maintain, without partiality or
prelorenco for nny class, sect or crocd, nnd
without contributing from tho Treasury to
any, and tho false issue by which they seek
to light anew the dying embers of sectional
hate between kindred peoples, onco unnat
urally estranged, hut uow re united in one
indivisible republic and a common destiny.
Reform is necessary in tho civil service.
Experience proves that tho efficient cconom.
iual conduct ot the Governmental business is
not possible if its civil service bo subject to
chango at evorv election; bo a prize fought
for at tho ballot-box; bo a brief reward of
party seal, instead of posts of honor assigned
for proved competency, and held for fidelity
in tho public employ; that tbo dispensing of
igo should neither be a tax upon the
timo of nil our public men, nor the instru
ment ot their ambition. Here again the
professions falsified in tho performance attest
that the party in power can work out no
practical or salutary reform.
Rotorm is nocessary even more in tho
higher grades of public service. The Pres
ident, Vico-Preeidant, Judges, Senators, Rep
resentatives, Cabinet officers—theso and all
others in authority are the people’s servants;
their offices are not a private perquisite, they
are a public trust. When the annals of this
Republic sliow tho disgrace and censure of a
Vieo President, a late Speakor of the House
of Representatives marketing his rulings ns
a presiding officer, three Senators profiting
secretly by their votes as law-makers, fivo
chairmen of tho leading coiqmittees of the
Into Houso of Representatives exposed in
jobbery, a late Secretary of tha Treasury
forcing balances in llio public accounts, a late
Attorney-General misappropriating puhiio
funds, a Secretary of the Navy enriched or
enriching friends by per contage levied off
tho profits of contractors with his depart
ment, an Ambassador to England censured
in a dishonorable speculation, the President's
private secretary barely escaping couvietion
upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds
upon the revenue, a Secretary ot War im-
S cached for high orimos and confessed mis-
emeanors, the demonstration is complete
that the first step in reform must he the
people’s choico of honest men from another
party, lest tho disoaso of one political organ
ization infest the body politic, and lest by
making no ohange of men or party we can
§ ct no ohange of measure* and no reform.
.11 thoso abuses, wrongs and crimes, tho
product of sixteen years’ ascendancy of tho
