i i eile teleeieeeasin PLATFORM Of The Democratic Party ot Missouri. Adopted at St. Joseph, Jnty 11, 1890. The democratic purty of Misssou ri in convention assembled, declares | its renewed and unfaltering faith in the principles of the party as the guly security of republican govern ‘ment and the perpetuity of the lib the supr rties of the peo pe the gene a government in exer cise of all powers delegated to it by | the constitution; the reserved rights of each aud every state in the Union as to all such powers not so delegat- ed, or by the federal I rohibited to the states; opposition to class legislation, monopolies and trusts, equal and just taxation of all classes without favor and tion, forthe mere support of the government which should life, liberty and “property alike; absolute equality of the all citizens be- fore the law without distinction. | In the maintainance of these just principles, depend the perpetuity of our free and enlightened form of government, the general welfare and the happiness, prosperity and con- tinued freedom of the people. We condemn the present system of tariff taxation as unjust, inequit- able, iniquitous, whereby the princi ple burdens of taxation are laid up- on the neccessities of life and the luxuries are allowed to escape their just proportion, and we demand the revision of the entire tariff system, on a revenue basis 80 adjusted as to place the burdens of taxation upon all classes alike with equal and exact justice to all and special favors to none. And we arraigu the republican party as being directly responsible for the enactment of the present un just tariff system. We regard trusts or combinations of all individuals or corporations to control priees asa legitimate result of the present iniquitous tariff sys- tem and we demand the repeal of the tariff taxes that enable such cor- porations to extort from the people exorbitant prices for the products which they control. We declare it to be the duty of | our legislators, state and federal, to use all reasonable efforts, within the | constitutional limits to prevent the creation and the powers of menoplies, which, in their to cireumscribe operation have the effect to forestall markets and otherwise with the free exercise of trade. We arraign the present republican | national administration, | violated its pledges to the people | and flagrantly usurped — power not committed to its hands.
