i've and palrialic policy; under
which the country has been blessed
with remarkable property. We
believe his eminent servicrs are en-
Titled te and will receive the hearty !
Of every citizen.
1t is the first du'y of q good gov
mcnt to protect the nights ard in
teres's of It's own people. The lArs
est diversity of industry Is most pro-
ductive of general prosperity and of
The comfort and Independence of |
the people and taxpayer without in
juring the lahorer or the great pro-
due i've inter. ST OF the country. We
recognize the impor ance of sheep

The serious depression which 1t Is
now experiencing and the danger

and We respect the demands of the
representative of this industry Tor 6
readju ttment of duty upon f,reign
wool, in order that such industry
shall have full and adequate pros
lection. We therefore demand the,
the imposition Of duties on foreign
imports shall be made, moi for reve-
nue. only. but that in raising the
r. 'quIsile revenue for the Govern-
ment su II duties shall be so levied
as TO afford 5, curly 10 our diversi-

rights and wages Of the laboCer. To
the end that uctive and Intelligent
labor as we'll as C. pital may have
its just award, and the lsborine man
his full share in the national pros
perlty, against sO>caIied economic
system of he democratic party.
which would deg adc our laborer to
the foieioD standard, We enter our
earnest protest The Democratic
party had failed completely to re>
lieve The people for the burden of
unnecessary taxation. The Repub-
licsn party rl4ces itself To correct
the irregularities. of the tariff. to rc
duce the surplus, not 10 be the
vicious aud ind scriminate process
OF horizontal reduction, hut bv such
methods as will relieve the taxpayer
without iujuring the labnrer or the
great productive in'er'ss OF the
country. Il then pTocetd Is 10 favor
the policy which keeps Us from
entang'ing foreign alliances, a ii
that will prevent foreign nations
meddling in American affair. Ii;
demands the restoration OF the navy

Congress To- remove the bUrien-
under which American shil ping
