The majority report was then
adopted.
Mckinley, of Ohio, from the COM
mittee on resolutions then presented
the report as follows:
Republicans of the United states.
in national convention assem- eled,
renew their allegiance to the prln-
ciples upon which they have trl
unphed in six successive presiden-
tial elections, and congratulate the
American people on the attainment
of SO many results in legislation, and
the administration by which the
Republican party has. after saving
the Union, done 30 much to render
its institutions just, equal and bene-
fetal, the safeguard Ut liberty and
the embodiment of the best thought
and highest purposes Of our citizens.
The Republican party has gained
its strength by quick and faithful
response to the demands of the peo>
pie for freedom, and the equality OF
all men, for a united nation, es-
suriBg the rights of all citizens Tor
the elevation of labor, for an bonest
currency, for purity in legislation,
and for integrity and accountability
in all departments Of the govern
ment, and it accepts anew the duty
Of leading in the work OF progress
and reform. We lament the death
of President Garfield, whose sound
craftsmanship, long conspicuous In
Congress, gave promise of strong
anG successful administration, .
promise fully realized during the
short period OF his Office as Pfesl-
dent of the United States. His dis.
tinguished successes in war and
peace have endeared him to the
hearts of the American people. In
the administration of the office of
President, we recognize the wise,
conservative and patriotic policy
under which the country Mss been
blessed with remarkable pro: perity.
We believe his eminent services are
entitled to, and will receive the
hearty approval of every citizsn.
It is the first duty Of a good gov
eminent to protect the rights and
promote the interests Of its own
people. The largest diversity of in
dustry is most productive Of general
prosperity and of the comfort and
independence of the people. The
taxpayers, and without injuring the
Iaborer or the great produe-
two ioforaefa Of tho country
we recognize the Importance |
Of the sheep hasbandry in
the United States, the ferious de-
preston which it is now experience
ing and the danger threatening its
future prosperity, and we therefore
respect the demands Of the represen-
tatives Of this important agricul
tural interest for REIMBURSEMENT
of the duty upon foreign
wool, in order that such
industry shall nave full aud ade-
quate protection. We therefore de-
mand shat the imposition of duties
on foreign imports shall be made
not for revenue alone but that in
raising the requisite revenue for the
such duties shall be so
levied as to afford security to our
diversified industries and protection
to the rights and wages OF the
laborer to the end that active ard
labor, as we'll as capital,
may have its just reward and the
laboring man his full share in ihe
national prosperity. Against the
so-called economic system of the
party which would de-
grade our labor to the foreign stands
ard We enter our earnest protest.
The Democratic party has failed
completely to relieve the people of
the burden of unnecessary taxation
by wise protection Of the surplus.
The Republican psrty favors pol
icy which shall keep us
from entangling alliances with
foreign nations and which gives US
the right to expect that foreign ma
lions shall refrain from meddliDg In
affairs. the policy which
seeks peace, and can trade with all
but especially with those of
The western hemisphere. We de-
nand the restoration of cur navy to

that it may in any sea protect the
rights of American citizens, and the
interests of American commerce,
and we call upon Congress to res
move the burdens under which
American shipping has been de-
pressed 20 that it may again be true
hat we have q commerce which
caves no sea unexplored, and a
navy which takes no law from su-
perior force.
Resolved, that appointment by
the President to offices in the Terri
tories should be made from the bona
fde citizens and residents OF the
Territories, wherein they are to
serve.
ResoEced, That 1t is Ethe duty of
Congress to enact such laws as shall
and effectualIy suppress
The system of polygsmy within our
Territories, and divorce the political
from the ecclesiastical power of the
so.called Mormon Church, and that
5he law so enacted should be rigidIy

possible and by the military it need
