The republican party stands to-day the
champion ard protector OF ifee palio. anu !,

democratic party has been and IS the poiut-

Under the adm inistratioh ofthe republican
party America has opened Wlue ne5
doors, and the downtrodden ana oPpresseiI !,
of other countries have come mere 10 seen
and poverty abroad; it has restored the
civil t,rvice of the country to the plane oil
honesty. capability and faithfulness from
which it was degraded by democratic cupid

tected the labor of the country.
By its legislative enactments anu Nv ths
| protests of its conventions ana the grand
| intelligence of It's press, the repu9lcan
party has stood for years, ana IL stanos w,
day, as a wall of fire against the determines ~
assaults OF the democratic party upon the
Industries of the country, with its PERM,
cious heresv of 'tariff for revenue only"
that dogma which, wherever it has been
tried has Frustrated and destroyed the IN
terests of free labor. The republican party
ia the only shield to-day that protects the
| indus. rious, the educated, the intelligent
masses of American laborers from the
blghting influence OF the cheap LABOR anu
degraded habits of the pauper mililons o.

party can well afford to ask judgment o.

in double sense, and fear to challenge

dealing with the tariff the republican party

capital ana labor IN the harmonious ne
yeiopment of prosperity unparaliele 10
its grandeur and in its diffusion among HI
the people. Against the theoriziug OF doc
trinaires and the sophistry OF demagogue'
tbe republican party holds up the magnlfi'
cent record of the last two decades, in which
the fostered and protected industry and
skill of the United States have 'itted anu
borne the burden OF mighty civl
war with hardly slackenlng IN its
great strides of progress, until to-day lht
diversity of our resources and the general
welfare of our fifty millions of people are
the admiration and envy OF the world

testimony of the present, the republican

working people OF the country.
The issue Immediately before the Amer
can people is a simple one: snail the dem
ocratic party, with its history, It's career
and the purposes they so unmistakably III
dictate be brought into power without any
guaranty, without even promise o
better government in the futuref Anc
shall this beautiful country, with all THESE
splendid institutions. the handiwork OF re
publican administrations, be turned owe
10 the blighting sirocco Of democratic ra
pscity? Or shall the republican party, re
Endorsed by the American people, rein
structed from the source oil all poiillca
power and intelligeDce-the voice OF th'
people-be re. commissioned to go forward
In lis great work, and continue 10 guld'
The nation upon its glorious pathway u
ultimate perfection? In the Language
of the third resolution OF GU
PHILADELPHIA piatform:-"We call upon thu
masses of the republican party throuRhou
all the states of the Union, 10 stand TO
gerher in support of the principles of th'
republican party, and 10 labor together a
the primary meetings, at the conventions
and, finally, at the polls, TO aid that part!
Ia secure harmonious action aHd ultimat
victory. and, to this end, we urge sggressiv
opposition to the democratic par v, belieV
ing il TO be now, as heretofore, the expoh
emf of political views hostile TO the best in
