Des Moines, 30.-ResolUtioHs were
adopted IS fellows: eve denounce
as unwise and unLatrt0.ic the pre-
sent effort which the Democratic
party in Congress declare to be only
their first step to further derarge
trade and Cypress American indus
try, by an Understandable reduction
of the duty on foreign products and
manufactures which compete with
our own. Their persistence in this
if successful, W IL make the
United States 2 mere tributary of
England, will destroy that domestic
competition which most surely
keeps down prices, viii rob our
American laborers Of their fair WaG
ges of labor, will diminish the mar
ketst home for the products of our
own agriculture without enlarging

possible fruit Of his labor; equitably
