citizens without distinction, shall ENJOY equal

all other chimerical projects by which it is
proposed to find cheap and worthless substi--
stItute for the measure of value accepted and
employed by the civilized world, are based upon

1t to be the duty of Republicans ard all good
citizens to oppose with uncomprOmising firm
ness all those mischlevOus theories, as well as
the cOgnate doctrines of Communism and In
tenationalism, which menace society, individ-
ual liberty and the accumulated savings of

Fltth-We condemn the Democratic party
for attempting TO dIsarm the National Gov

and to arrest all progress toward resumption;
for voting to reduce largely the tax Oh articles
like whiskey and tobacco, thereby rendering
necessary increased taxation on other indus
tIies etc.
Sirth-We declare that the investigation re-
specting the last Presidential election has
wholly failed to disclose any improper action
by President Hayes.

lands i'll aid of corporations, and sectarian
control in the public schools, and declare III
