WING Measures Of Policy.

which the Wings are conlending in the
political contest now going on. As a
party they stand on strong ground; and if
they are true to themselves, they can de-
lend it against all assalants. 1t is a great
and comprehensive spirit that animates
this party-lhis guardian army of c,nsi
tutional liberty. Large, national inter.
esls-in which the prosperity of the peo-
pie and the Independence of the Rcpub-
lie are involved, constitute the firm basis
upon which the political organization Of
the Wing party rests. We repeat what
we said some days ago, even at the risk
of again mourning the rebuke of the Rich
mond Enquirer, that the Wings are the
only party that know how to take good
care of the country. When was there
ever exhibited more miserable spcci-
men Of mlsrule than has been witnessed
in the management of af the government
since Gen. JACKSON undertook to incul-
cate new principles of democracv!-What
government on earth could hold up I'M
der such rude assaults upon the interests
OF the country and the well being of the
people? If the era Of 1910 had been much
longer postponed, if the beauties of the
Sub-Trea,ury and the blessings of free
importattons had been allowed time fully
TO disclose themselves, what remnant of
national prosperity would have been left
amid the wrecks and ruins with whicha
blIghlIns policy was cumbering the
ground?
The Wings came to restore; they came
in obedience to the loud call of the pco-
ple-of a people suffering as never free
people suffered before from the misman-
agement of their own rulers. The Wings
came to build up the PROSTATE fabric of Il
national systemic introduce order and
consistency where all was confusion.
They have done what they could; the
country knows why they have not done
morc.-Butass sure as intelligence remains
with the people to know their own inter-
ests and to perceive the causes of public
embarrassmGnts, so sure will the mission
OF the Wing party be gloriously accom-
pIlShcd IN the restoration of sound prin-
clples; and the time for it will come so
soon as the man whose position has cna-
bled him to delay the progress Of reform
shall be shaken from the chair which lie
so unworthy holds:
The Wing policy, on all the main points
Of difference between US and eur oppo-
nents, is plain and unequivocal. The res
toratlon of a SoUvD AND UNIFORM Cur
RENcY for the People of the whole Union;
the systematic, effective, permanent Pro-
lection OF OUR HOME LABOR against
depressing and ruinous foreign COMPETE
ton, and the DISTRIBUTION OF TIE PrD-
Lie LAND PRocEEDs to the States-thcse
are the objects inscribed broadly on our
banners-thG measures, for which we
earnestly contend. Unconnected as they
may specifically appear, they are in real
ty parts of the same comprehensive, ben
ehcent AMERICAN SYSTEM designed and
directly calculated to elevate and improve
tina condition of the toling millions CT
our countrymen. A PROTECTIVE TAR

employment with fuller reward to the
productive labor of our country; a Uni
