Republican party's British policy
we demand Oh behalf Of the AM

policy; instead of the Republican
party's diseredit, shame and
false pretense of friendship
to American labor, expressed
by imposing taxes, we de-
mand in behalf of the Democracy,
freedom of American labor, by re-
ducing tax9e, to the end that these
United States may compete With
unhlndeIed powers, for perrua-
hence among nations, in all the az IS
of peace and fruits of liberty.
