preserved the Union of the Republic, aud
established liberty and equality. We be-
leve that by the continued ascendRncy
of the Republican party will be secured

the safeguard of the Constitution, the pro-
moter of feducation, order, industry, thrift,
universal freedom and equal rights.

country on the success OF the present ad
ministration, which has, without an in
crease of taxation, reduced the national
debt over Sl60 000.000 by an honest and
economical collection of the revenue, and
a large reduction of the expenses of the
Government; and we especially congratu
late the country on the fact that this pol
icy has made it possible to reduce the in-
ternal revenue and tariff duties $50, ,000,-
600, thus relieving the people of burdens
to this extent without imperiling the ma
tional faith or honor.
Resolved, That tariff for revenue is in
dispensable, and should be so adjusted as
to Re the least prejudicial to the
industrial and producing interests
of every class or section.
Res0IUed, That a change of our navIga-
tion laws, so as TO admit of the registra-
tion of vessels purchased abroad, is de-
mand6d by the best interests of the

give to our plundered commerce the su-
premacy of the seas.

Germany and France only 50 far as the
same involves the great principles of lib
erty, and while we remember that the
great uprising of 1913. failed of success
merely for the want of Germanic union;
that during our recent national strug-
gle the people of Germany sup
ported our cause with their symps-
thy and national aid while the armies of
France were endeavoring TO subvert Re-
public on this continent and establish in
its stead an imperial throne. We cannot
refrain from declaring our sympathy with
the present heroic efforts OF Germa
ny to establish, maintain and defend their
national unity. ~
The last resolution was greeted with
great applause, and all were unanimously
adopted.
