Rut while upholding the bond ot our

iii4* price r»rTiberty. Rcforni is n*‘C*‘S-
sarv to rebuild and establish in tlie
arts of the wljole people the Union
cl«\vn years ago happily rescued
from the' danger of a corrupt centralism
which, alter indicting upon ten States
the rapacity of carpet-bag tyrannies,
lias honev-eotfibed the oflic*»s of the
F«**leral (iovernjment itself with incapa-
city. waste, and fraud ; infected States
and municipalities with the contagion
o f misrule, and locked fast the prosper-
ity of our industrious people in the
he
«>t
]>aralvsis of hard tinus. Reform is
necessary to establish a sound currency
rest or** tlx* public credit and maintain
the natii nal lionor.
We denounce the failure for all these
sloven years to make good the promise
of legal*tender uotes.wiiich are changing
teandard ot value in the hands ot the
]H*opl*‘. and tlx* non-payment of which
is a disregard of the piighted faith ot
nation. I
We denounce the improvidence which
in eleven years of peace, has taken
from the people-fn Federal taxes thir-
teen times the whole amount of the le-
"al tender notes, and squandered four
Times this sum in useless expense with-
out accumulating any reserve for their
redemption. . . . . ....
We denounce the financial imbecility
and imtnoraliry of that party which,
during eleven'years of peace, hiis made
no advance towards resumption ; that
instead, li is obstructed resumption, by
wasting our resources, and exhausting
all of our surplus income, ami while
annually professing to intend a speedy
return to specie payment, has annually
enacted fresh. hindrances thereto. :As
such hindrances we denounce the Pte-
sumption clause of the act of 1875, and
we here demand its repeal.
We demand a judicious sj’stem of
preparation by public economies, by
diplomacy, which have stripped our
follow citizens of foreign birth and kin-
divii race, recrossing tix* Atlantic, ot
tlx* shield of Ainencansliip, and hay*
exposed our brethren of the Pacific
coast to tlx* incursions of a race not
sprung from the sank* great parent
slock.' In fact now hy law denied citi-
zenship through naturalization, as be-
ing neither accustomed to the traditions
of a progressive civilization, or exercis-
ed in liberty under equal laws. A\ e
denounce tlx* policy which tints dis-
cards the liberty loving German, and
tolerates tlx* revival ot tlx* coolie trade
in Mongolian women, imported for
immoral purposes, and Mongolian men
hired to perform servile labor con-
tracts, and demand such modification
oi the treaty with tlx* Chinese Empire,
or such legislation by Congress within
a Constitutional limitation, as shall
prevent tlx* further importation or im-
mteration of the Mongolian race.
/reform is necessary, and can never
he effected but hy making it the con-
trolling issue of the elections, and lift-
ing above the twO false issues with
which the office holding class and the
party in nower seek to smother it—the
la.M? light with which they would en-
kindle sectarian strife, in respect to the
public schools, the establishment and
support of which belongs exclusively
to the several States, and which the
Democratic party has cherished from
their foundation, and are resolved to
maintain without partiality or prefer-
ence for anv class, sect or creed, and
without contributing from the treasury
to anv ; and flic lalse issue by which
they seek to light anew the dying em-
bers of sectional lmte between kindred
peoples, once unnaturally estranged,
but now reunited in one indivisible
Republic and a common destiny.
Reform is necessary in the civil ser-
vice. Experience proves that an effi-
cient economical conduct of the govern-
mental business. Is not. possiblerif its
civil service be subject to change at ev-
ery' election—be a prize to be striven
for at the ballot—be a brief reward of
party zeal, iutead of posts of honor as-
