The committee on resolution reported us fol-
lows:
Resolved, That IN laying duties on imports to
raise revenue for the support of government and
protect the industry Of our own country, the pro-
duets Of the argulturali3s and mechanics should
receive as ample protection as the great MANU-
rAcrCarn and CApITAilsr; that we do not
subscribe to the federal maxim, /" take care of the
rich, and let the rich take care Of the poor"
Resolved, That the wages of labor as well as the
prices Ofwool, aud all other agricultural products
itn raj nth uSin th,I
" powers that be-" show the utter lallhlcssness Of
the wing promises before they came into power
Rcsol, ed, That ten thousand voices from all
parts OF the union show that the people are delerm-
:ncd 10 take wing promises no longer. The writing
is already visible on the wall: " meme" the DAYS
of thy misrulc are numbered. " 1tkcl;" thou AIT
weighed in the balances aud found wanting
" P,ra;" you are divided among yourselves, and
the power which you have abused is given TO the
democrats.
Resolved, That the School Fund of this Statc
onop,,. nr to Heur $4,000, having been made
nm of none, Sc, n,,arl for the support ofcommon
schools, and belor.ing to all the children OF the
State, both rich and poof, sho"'d be ned sacred
for the benevolent objcc, for which u was orlsl-
nuly designed, and that we protest against '"e AZ
tcnp,s which has been nade ut the legisla,ue To-
several years pas, 10 rob these children OF their
LlrIhright.
Resolved, That our State debt, amounting in
fact, to more than S2O0,O00 having grown up
without appropriations for internal improvements,
or any other extraordinary purposes, excepting er-
extravaganza, Is Il practical conmen-
lary on the prudence nnd skill with which the fin
nuncia affairs Of this State have been managed.
Resolved, That we approve OF the sentiments
contained in the following resolution passed al the
last session Of The legislature, TO wit
RssoIrsd That our Senators in Congress be Instructed
aud our Repre- natives requested To Use all honorable
means in their power procure the passage ollaws which,
while they shall guard against the numerous hhi' ana
yasons now prnrccd upon rs by Foreigners, and For
rigl agents. and while they shall raise ScNCnuc sufficient

Resolved, That we approve of the following
adopted at the Democratic State Con-
,cnlion of New Hampshire, viz:
" Resolved, That in our opinion, the 6dn6ruW
Ici, iianpng as it does upon individual rght',r"n
lcring void the Obligations of contacts, and en-
emp,inc past reckelcssness and extravaganza from
heir natural consequences, Is injurious 10 the NOR
ais, and Obstructive To the true interests Of COM
nuniiy."
Resolved. That the degrading display of log
cabins, cider barrels, Sc, which distinguished and
Illus ,raicd the campaign of 1910, and which con-
.,iruted the most cleclua arguments and weapons
IF federalism ngnist democracy, are now produc.
heir legitimate effects in the utter prostlallon and
humiliation of the uprlncipled faction which re-
sorted TO their use.
"Resol,ed. That the administration and The
ronuress which the election Of $40 brought INTO
power, are in perfect keeping with the means by
hich their elevation 10 office was effected; HAT
