ably AZ TO protect every home industry |
sustain every class of American labor, |
promote to tho highest point our great
agricultural interests, and at the same |
time to give one and all the advantages
pertaining TO foreign productions not
In competition with our own, thus not |
only building up our foreign commerce |
but taking measures to carry 1t in our
own bottoms.
Difficult as this work appears, and |
really is, 1t is susceptible Of accom-
plishnent by patient and intelligent
labor, and to no hands can II be CON-
mi'ted with az great assurance of sue.
cess as to those of The Repu blican |
party.
The Republican party is the indispu.
table author of a financial and monetary
system which, 1t is safe to say, has
never before been eQualed by that of
any other nation.
Under the operation of our system of
finance the country was safely carried |
through an extended and expensive |
war, with u national credit which has
risen higher and higher with each sue
ceediBg year, until now the credit of
the United States is surpassed by THAI
of no other nation, while its securities, |
at n constantly increasing premium, are
eagerly sought after by investors in all
parts Of the world.
Our system of currency is most ad.
mirable in construction. While all the
conveniences of a'blll circulation at
tach to it, every dollar of paper repre-
cents dollar of the worlds money
standards, and as long as the just and
wise policy of the Republican party is
continued there can be no impairment
Of the national credit. Therefore, under
present laws relating thereto, it will be
impossible for any man to lose a pen
ny in the bonds or bills of the United
States, Or in the bills of the national
bank.
The advantage of having bank note
in the house which will be IA good in
the morning as it was the night before
should be appreciated by all. The
convertibility of the currency should be
maintained intact, and the establish
nleDt of an International standard
among all commercial nations, fixing
the relative values of god and silver
Icoinage, would be q measure of pecu-
liar advantage.
The subjects embraced in the resolu-
tions respectively looking to the promo
tioD our interstate and foreign COM
merce, and TO the matter of our foreign
relations, are fraught with the greatest
importance TO our people.
In respect TO interstate commerce
there is much TO be desired in the way
of equitable rates and facilities OF trans
lportation, that commerce may flow
freely between the States themselves,

try, and that the great granaries and

lproducts to the seaboard for shipment
to foreign countries, relieved of vexa-
tious restrictions and determinations
in matters of which it may emphatical-
ly be said: "Time is money" aud al.

tined TO met close competition from the
products of other parts of the world.
AS to our foreign commerce, the eDor
, nous growth Of our industries and our
, surprising production of cereals and
other necessities of life imperatively re-
lquire that immediate and effective
means be taken through peaceful, order
/, ly and conservative methods to open
markets which have been aud are now
monopolized largely by other nations.
This more particularly relates to our
sister Republics Of Spanish America, as
, also to our friends, the people of the
, brazilian Empire.
The Republics of Spanish America
are allied to us by the very closest

q larity of institutions and government.
