WING MEASURES OF POllCf.
From the Baltimore American.
The following synopsis sets forth brief
ly YET clearly the leading objects for
which the Wings are coniend;ng in the
political contest now going m. As par.

hey are true TO themselves they can de.

berry. Large national inleresis--perma-
nent and substantial inisresis--in which
the prosperity Of The People and the in
dependence Of the Republic 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 incur-
ring the rebuke OF the Richmond Enqui.
rsr, that the Wings are the only party
that know how to take good care oil
the country. When was there ever ex.
hibiied q more miserable specimen Of
misruls than has been Witnessed in the
management OF the Government since
General Jackson undertook 10 inculcaie
new principles Of democrscyi What
Government on earth could hold up under
such rude assaults upon the interests Of
the county and the well-heing Of The
people! II the era Of 1910 had been
much longer postponed; il the beauties Of
the Sub Treasury snd the blessings OF
free importa,ions had been allowed time
fully TO disclose themselves, wha, rem
men, o! national prosperity would have
been lef. amid the wrecks and ruins with
which blish'ing policy was numbering
the ground!
The Wings came 10 restore; they came
10 obedience to The loud call of the people
-ofa people suffering as never free
people suffered before from the mismau-
agement Of their own rulers. The Wings
came to build Up the PROSTATE fabric Of a
national sysiem-to introduce order and
consistency where all was confusion.
They have done whs, they could; the
country knows Why they have net done
more. But a. sure as intelligence remains
with the people to know their own in
,erests and TO preceive the causes OF pub.
lie embairassments, so sure will the mis-
sion Of the Wing party be gioriously &C.
complished in the restoration Of sound
principles; and The time for il will come 90
soon as the man whose position has en-.
abled him to delay the progress Of re-
form shall be taken from the chair which
he so unvor,hily holds:
"rhe Wing policy on all the main
points OF difference between us and our
opponents is plain and uneqnivocsl. The
restoration Of sound and uniform cur
rency for the people Of the whole Union:
the sysie matte, effective, permanent pro-
teclion Of our home labor against depress-
ing and ruInous foreign competition. and
the distribution Of the pabl,c land pro-
ceeds 10 the States; these are the objects

A protective tariff will secure stead,er and
