Mute uiuU had heretofore unjustly escaped their fair properties of taxation. We commend Um legislature for remaning to adopt Governor Hovey’s secemmendation to increase the state levy from twelve cento to twenty-sere eeuts on the fiJUO. and for meeting the necessary expenses of the state’s benevolent institutions by a levy of six cents on the MOO. We denounce the infamous conspiracy es the Republican county commissioners, township trustees aad other officials of Indiana, who, for the purpose of creating unfai r prejudice against the new tax law. have wantonly and needlessly increased the local taxes, in the forty-six counties controlled by them, more than $1,250,00# a sum greater than the total increase es state taxes in the entire state. We call on the taxpayers of those counties to rebuke at the pells these local officials, who have put this needless and oppressive burden upon them. That the law Is in the interest of the masses is attested by the fact that the corporate wealth has arranged itself against it, and is now engaged ia a desperate struggle in the courts for its overthrow. Inasmuch as the exemption of the greenback currency from taxation by national law is Mt only unjust in principle, but also is the occasion of much fraudulent evasion of local tax laws, and inasmuch as interstate transportation companies are exempted from equitable taxation by the constitutional powers conferred on Congress concerning Interstate commerce, we demand that the Indiana senators and representatives in congress use their influence to secure the passage of laws making greenbacks taxable as other money, and making interstate commerce taxable on the same terms as domestic commerce. We congratulate the taxpayers of Indiana On the adoption, by the last legislature, of the system of paying public officials stated salaries, instead of giving them power to compensate themselves by fees and perquisites. We reaffirm our unswerving devotion to the interests of public education, not only as identified with the common school system, but also in connection with the higher institutions es learning, free publie libraries and all other legitimate means for promoting and preserving the virtue and Intelligence of the people. The Democratic party stands by its record as the friend of the masses as against the classes, and calls the attention of the laboring men of Indiana, that it has given to them the eighthour law; the law to prevent blacklisting; the law prohibiting “pluck-me" stores; the law for the protection of miners, and laws which make it impossible for Pinkerton detectives to arrest and slay laboring- men in Indiana because of their efforts toward self-protection. For twenty-five years the Republican party has legislated for the rich and powerful and m the interest of corporate wealth. The Democratic party pledges itself to remedy the costs growing out of such class legislation and in all future contests to stand by the great producing masses whose toil and self-sacrifice are at the foundation of all natural wealth. We commend the organization of the industrial classes for self-protection against trusts, combinesand monopolies, and call the attention of the farmers ana laborers to the fact that every evil complained of by them is the result of Republican legislation. Resolved, That this convention indorses the wise administration of Grover Cleveland; that the presidential campaign of 1892 shoul-’ be conducted on the issue of tariff reform as defined in the presidential message of 1887; that upon this issue Mr. Cleveland is the logical candidate of the Democratic party. Resolved, That the Democratic party of Indiana expresses its unalterable confidence in, and attachment to its gallant leader, Isaac P. Gray: that it holds him to be worthy of any honor in the gift of the American people, and that his name be presented to the convention by the delegation this day appointed, and in the event that the national convention deems the nomination of Mr. Cleveland inexpedient, the delegation is instructed to use every honorable effort to secure the nomination of ex-Governor Isaac P. Gray for the presidency.

The McKinley tariff increased the duty on corn from ten to fifteen cents per bushel. This was done to make the farmer believe he was protected from the pauper corn of Europe. In 1890 the total imports of corn in the United States amounted to 1,626 bushels—mostly seedcorn. How much benefit have.the farmers of Indiana derived from this tariff on corn? This is the only corn producing country in the world.
