between the parties declare,
First-That 1t is in favor Of collecting an
adequate revenue 10 defrsy the economical
expenses Of the Government from duties
upon foreign imports, 30 adjusted as to
afford protection to labor, agriculture,
manufacturing and other interests OF the
countrysgainst the competition OF foreign

to an important industry, which will, II not
corrected, result in paralyzipg the business
of wool growing in the United States and
in transferring the same to foreign nations,

mens.. lla f.r }r "8H
Third-The doctrine Of the Democratic
party favoring putting what is improperly
called raw material, such as ore, pig iron,
wool, etc., on the free list, is vicious and
dangerous, and if carried out will be de-
struc:iye to the best interests OF the nation,
Fourth-That the Republican party hav-
ing always aided labor in liberatingit when
oppressed, giving to it homesteads in the
public domain and supporting schools at
public expense, the children Of all recog-
nizs more fully than ever lis great interests,
its claim upon the care Of the Government
and its right 10 equal consideration with
capital, and we congratulate the working
classes upon the intelligence and good tenn.
per with which they have organized them
selves for the promotion Of their interests.
Fiith-That we denounce polygamous
Mormons and demand Of Congress the ex.
ercise Of all constitutional power for its
speedy suppression. ,f5- Id

dent Arthur hes been wise, conservative
and in the interests Of the whole people,
