ELEVEN REASONS.

"A young reader asks why be
should become Republican. There
are many reasons, but the following
are few:
l The past twenty years under
Republican rule have been the M ost
glorious era in the history Of the
country. The grand success of the
party iu The past is the strongest
reason for trusting it in the future.
2 Past sue ,esses have been du
to the right purpose and true wis
dom of 4,500, 900 Republican voters.
These voters have not changed 10
character or belief. No other body
Of citizens has shown itself entitled
Of such confidence.
3 The Republican party trusts
the people as no other party does.
II has had the courage TO serve the
best interests of tho people, with
faith that the intelligence to ap L.
preciate. Thus IL has represente d
and obeys not the large laud owners
at the Sonth, nor tho trickst ,is o. the
city, but the people.
4 It has always protected labor.
The abolition of slavery removed
competition OF unpaid labor and
elevated oil labor. The homestead
law gave every lsborer power to
support bic family without any de-
pepdepce on an employer. AT the
desire OF labor the eight hour law
was passed, and the importation Of
coolies prohibited. Above all the
party has defended labor by pro.
tective tariff.
When goods made by pauper
labor abroad can bo sold here with
out paying for admission into this
market, the danger is that our own
will become pauper labor. The Re-
publican party makes foreign goods
pay duty, and so builds mp home
industry and home market. The
Democratic party has constantly
tried to break down this system.
6 The Republican party protects
the civil and political rights Of all
citizens. In its youth, il refused to
deprive adopted citizens Of rights
II is the only party that las always
resisted attempts to control votes or
elections by fraud. fear or force.
Z Il has done more than any 9th.
er party to protect citizens when
abroad. Led BY Mr.. Blaine 10 Con.

give up the claim that British-born
citizens still owned allegiance to the
British crown. 1t is pledged to
make American citizenship . safe.
guard in all lands for every citizen
who goes on a lawful errand.
S upholds The public faith. No
other Nations in history has ever
met q great debt as boDorably and
rapidly as this Nation under Re-
publican rule, in spite of Democrat
ic opposition. Hence no other
higher credit.
0 1t has given this country, in
spite OF constant Democratic hos
tility, better currency than any
other Nation enjoys. Defeat or the
party would open the door to the
old Democratic currency-to thirty.
