Resoired, That as the political scenes of $40
show how E,r excitement and deuslon may, for n
season, get the mastery Of the public nnd and
conscience, so The political results of lSi2 prove
how eilectual is the "sOber second thought OF the
people" in restoring to public sentiment health
Iul tone aud to the public reason healih'ul SUI
premUcy.
Resolrci, That If the revolution Of 1910, ac-
conpIIShch ms it was by cumor and show, nj the
expense OF truth aud in defiance Of argument, give
lust ground to doubt the intelligent exercise OF
sovereign power, by the whole people, the coun-
ter revolution since effected, by calm appeals Ia
the intelligence and reason Of the masses, without
parade and without nolsc, has fully ,ndlc'ted the
confidence which democrnc. teaches US To repoSh
in the capar,y Of the people for self GOV eminent
Rcsolrci, That we adhere ste0dhslIy to the
ground, 50 often heretofore assumed by the democ'
lacy Of the State, of hostility to a national hank
and believe that tie true interests pI the pccp'c
aud the permanent safety Of orr republican lnSli
buttons, viii be best promoted by prohibiting that
merrIrlcious connection Of Bank and STATE, which
has heretofore ncen the prolific source OF 50 man!
and aggravated evils 10 the country.
Rooirci, That the most c>pcdcnt method o.
securing the revenue for the general government
j., 10y tari.I NJ dulles on imports
RcolrcL That We nrc in favor Of the passage
or laws upon the suhjeC, Of Tarl, which. viii,
they shall guard n.nns, tho numerous frauds and
ryasiuns heretofore prac,scd npon Us by inrclgn
crs and foreign agents. aud while they shall ruis'
: u revenue sufficient only Tor the necessary cN
pensrs orrnyernmrn, and shall have n due regarC
10 the particular interests Of every section OF GU
country, may give hy protective duties such !
preference In domestic over foreign products IL
, our markets, ANA may 50 discriminate between
: those articles which we can md those which W
crnno, produce at home, NJ 10 give inst. sur
and snIuary encouragement 10 every American
! citizen.
Res5ire9, Tia, We rrpudiaic the doctrine tia
, protection 10 the manufacturer affords ct Itself srl
t'icni protection 10 the producer OF the raw mate
rial.
r Rraoirci, Tha, we are no, hostile to the inter
| rs,s of the manufacturer, but think he Is no NOR
entitled 10 tho benefits Of protection than The wool
grower or other producer.
Rcsolrei, That the Tail Of 1912. gave no ado
: quote protection 10 the wcol.growcr bot was main
= ly intended 10 promote the interests of the mana
h lac,urrr and should be 80 amended rs TO afford Il
y equal aud Just remuneration 10 both.
RcSUircd, That we believe The law creating on
d state school fund originated in n pure patriotism
having for it, object the pcrpelully Of our fec ~
siituilrhs and lhi in our opinion, said fund onel
not 10 be abrcga,cd, or diverted from lis origins
c design.
d Rcsoirri, Tha, f,om the fact, that our last lee
stature, had 10 appropriate fifteen Thousand do'InI
To meet the debts Of the Vermont State Prison "
: believe That an honest, pruden, and economics
administration If is unirS has brcn lost sight ~
n IN making its srpcriuendrucy pace where pati
h pets, and party dependents, can live aud rccr"
private fortunes at the expense VI the State.
y Resolted, Tha, !, being NOW admitted by on
opponents, that tic state is IN debt 10 the sum {

If cept by apprcpriang the schco-lnnd TO is cNir
punishment or by restoring 10 increased taxation,
bcho,cs the people, through their agents, 10 in
siilu;c rigid scrutiny into our fiscal concerns an
demand more srIc, economy in the public eS
!. pcndiiurrs.
Q Rssoirci, That we approve Of the resolution in
