1--WE desire most earnestly to invite the i'm
mediate cooperation of all citizens who favor
the election of Blaine and Logan by meeting us
in Convention Our Convention VIII be a
grand demonstration against the heresies OF
Free Trade with England, wherever they are
presented under the form of tariff for reye-
tlue only or Il 20 per cent. horizontal reduction
of the tariff. This last dea-which was sup
ported in Congress by three-auarters of the
Democratic members, and was defeated only
by the stern and combined opposition of the
Republican members, aided by few Demo-
crats-is the genuine platform on which Grover
Cleveland, Democratic nominee for President,
stands, and with which he is in full sympathy
1t Is unnecessary to inform irish Citizens ani0
all Pji0tecfiOnists that Morr1Son'S bill meant
a 20 per cent. reduction of the wages of Ameri-
can workingmen, and that it behooves them to
rise in their might and resist, to the utmost ex-
treinity, the party and the men who, for their
own sinister designs, are plotting the destruc-
ton of manufacturing interests and the
enriching of the cotton and iron lords OF ENG
land at our expense. All other questions sink
into insgnfeance in the presence of this one
great overshadowing issue. We 1mpiore you,
as YOU value the sacred interests OF your wives
and children to stamp ont the nefarions
the prosperity of our Commonwealth. Onf
watchwords must he, Organization. Acflon
