follows: That the tenublicqu party ap'
proves the policy of protection In all eco
nomic legislation, enc u isvors its app'ice'
ton without ciscriminaioa to American
industries, thereby securing employment
| at remunerative wages 80 Amefio .u labor

quate revenue 10 deffay the proper eoonom'
| icai expenses OF the govern mcnt from duties
upon foreign imports snd proper i"tefrsl
! taxation, and thnt Ii cond, mne toe demo
cratic doctrine OF tariff for revenue only, as
destructive 10 the business, Interests o. The
country.
Ths. the doctrine OF the democratic party
! iayoring putting what In improperly called
| Al. ial v,tf,
etc. OF the free list is dangerous and II
carried out will be destructive OF the best
interests oi the nation.
rhat the reduction OF duties on imported
woods, made by the sct OF 1888, has seri
ously injured the prosperity OF an imp0t'
tant agricultural pursuit, in which mors
than a million OF our citizens are en-.
gagged. and unless this legislation b,
amended tho business OF vool-growing will
he psr .ly zed If it be not transferred to for
eign nations. Therefore we demand tbs
restoration oi the wool tariff Of 1867, which
gave the first apd only substantial protec-
ton ever offered to sheep husb andry in thu
United States.
That the republican party, having aidet
In liberating it, when oppressed giving to /
homesteads in the public domsiu nnd lun
porting schools al public expense tor th'
children OF all classes, recognizes now NOR
fully than ever the great interest OF Ameri
can labor, It's claim upon the care OF tn,
government and its right to equal consider
alton with capital.
The position OF the republican party
touching the civil service. as repeatedly ex'
pressed through iis convictions and ex-
EN- plifsd by its legislation faithfully ad
ministered. is heartily endorsed.
That the republican party is in favor OF
| maintaining the equal civil rights OF
all classes OF oitirsno under guaran-
| in all parts Of the United States, and 1t also
dems snds that the elective franchise thell
be respected to the end tha, every voter
shalt have free ballot, which shall be
! honestly counted.
That we heartily approve and endorse the
administration OF President Arthur, both IN
/ mis- 10 eign and domestic policy.
