This evil must and shall I've stopped, and to
his end we pledge the entire strength of the
Republican party. In the language of our
great leader. wa regard the immigration of
Asia les to the Uniied States as little less than
n serv,ie invasion. Should the Commission

known, and the restoration Of national pros
peritv. But we also demand the complete
restoration of sill yer coin to it's former posi-

the precious metals which our mines are an |
nuallv yielding.
