commend hie Wring upon the eland ere
which bis successful leadership of our party
has purchased for him. Asa citizen, a mem¬

ministrations. m state treasurer by the over¬
whelming suffrages United of his follow citizens red
re senator of the Staten he haa won
aad retains our respect and confidence.
In keeping witk tke sympathy red the duty
of our party, wo make the following declara¬
tion of prtnotpies tor the betterment of politi¬
cal government and the benefit of our fallow
eitiMBii
We believe that every lawful voter has the
right to rest a free ballot at ovary pnbUe elec¬
tion red have it properly counted and certi¬
fied: and wo call upon congress to adopt such
legislation re will prevent a suppretoon or
falsification of fibs votes of our fellow eiti-
zens at elections to officers of national gov¬
ernment red will end political slavery
throughout the nation.
Our oars to the welfare of thorn who, upon
too Arid of battle oarrlod triumphantly the
principles of Republican faith, will end only
when the last loyal soldier of too civil war
shall have entered Into his honored rest, and
we ask congress ta grant a per diem service
pension to every Onion soldier aad sailor Who
served toe in and was honorably discharged frofa
army or navy of toe United States.
The claim which the citizens of ‘toe border
counties of onr commonwealth make upon
the general government for reimbursement
to the lose they sustained in their homed
and property at the hands of the enemy dur¬
ing the late war is one Which national patriot¬
ism should respoot red honor, and we urge
upon our congressmen the use of every proper
effort to have it quickly and completely sat¬
isfied.
We indorse the tariff bill called the “Mc¬
Kinley bill” in the form in which It was passed
by the house of representatives, and we de¬
nounce the criticism passod upon that bill in
toe English parliament as re unwarranted
interference by a foreign nation with too
right of the American people to protect
American industries.
We reaffirm one of too earliest principles of
our party when we declare that American
workers should, like American manufacturer*
receive national protection, and we request
of toe general government the strictest en¬
forcement of toe laws forbidding entrance
into and employment In this country of pau¬
per red contract laborers of foreign nation*
We urge upon congress the immediate
necessity of passing such legislation as will
prevsnt the importation aad sale of oleo¬
margarine and of intoxicating liquors in this
commonwealth contrary to our acta of as¬
sembly regulating and restricting toe same,
and empower svsry state to enforce its local
laws relating thereto la too manner red la
accordance with toe Intent and purpose with
which they were saaotdd.
Ballot reform 1* red will remain, the watch¬
word of our party In every state, and wa es¬
pecially congratulate our political brethren
la New York upon the fact that, although
their Democratic governor could deform he
could not wholly defeat their efforts to se¬
cure a free ballot to every American voter
throughout their state.
We charge the members of too next gene¬
ral assembly with the dnty to pass such law*
and If necessity should arise, to provide to
such changes In the constitution of our state
as will insure t> every voter perfect eecresy
aad freedom in exercising his right of suf¬
frage.
For almost thirty yean the finances of tola
state have been under the control of our
party. During that time wo devised a sys¬
tem of taxing corporations which perms *» •
pattern for.and haa boon taken as a gnlde by,
many sister states ia their efforts to collect
revenues for public purposes.
We hare paid off the debt which the Demo¬
cratic party of this state created during a
time of peace; we have almost extinguished
the debt which the Democratic party of the
southern etatoe indicted upon us during the
civil war, and years ago wo lifted from the
lands and homes of our follow citizens the
burdens of state taxation.
But toe depression under which our agri¬
cultural Interests now suffer has made to*
present system of taxation bear too haavUy
on them, and we therefore pledge ourselvM
to lighten that burdsn and as far ap possible
to equalise taxation. To that end we recom¬
mend that the surplus revenue derived fiom
state taxation be used to lessen the taxation
now laid unon real estate to local purposes
by applying It, so far aa H will in legislative
wisdom avail, to the Increase of the appro¬
priation for the support of the common
schools and to making appropriation to the
care of the Indigent insane, for the expenses
of toe jury system and of holding the general
elections.
If thereby there should be necessity for en¬
larging our Burplus revenue we favor a just
and equitable increase in the taxation of
property of corporations.
We recommend that the local system of
taxation be so reformed as to permit the tax¬
ation of money capital for local purposes to
such an extent sa to enable toe local authori¬
ties to reduce the rate of taxation upon real
estate to an equitable bast*
We require of the general assembly vigi¬
lance in making appropriation of the publio
money, and of our charitable Institutions re¬
ceiving State aid the strictest economy in the
expenditures. onr'population
The phenomenal Increase of
and of our commerce, foreign and domestic,
with the decrease in toe circulation of onr
national bank* renders it in imperatively es¬
sential to the general good, auijudgmsnt,
that there shall be a speedy red substantial
increase In the currency of toe country. Un¬
compromisingly hostile to monometalism,
whether of gold or silver, and earnestly fa¬
voring the use of both as coin metal* the Re¬
publican party of Pennsylvania demands the
enactment by toe congress now in session of
such legislation as will, while securing toe
fullest use of silver as money, most certainly
secure and maintain' a parity between the
two metals.
We heartily indorse toe administration of
President Harrison aad declare that its wise
conservatism, it* undoubted Integrity and its
manifest efficiency deserve the unqualified
approval of the whole nation. We gratefully
record the continoSfi confidence of the Re¬
publicans of Pennsylvania in toe wisdom, in¬
tegrity red statesmanship of the Hon. J.
Donald Cameron, oar senior senator at Wash¬
ington, D. C. So emphatically manifested la
his past service* to we accept them as posi¬
tive assurance of .his faithfulness and effi¬
ciency in the future.
We Commend tha course ofthe Hon. Thomas
B. Seed, speaker of the national house of rep¬
resentative* ia manfully preventing ha the ob¬
struction of legislation and t waste of pnb-
lie time aad money, and wo tender him the
flSBgratulatioas red thanks of the Kepubli-
party ot Pennsylvania.
