A GLORIOUS RECORD.
The Republican party has sined
its strength by quick and fahtul
RESPONSES to the demands ( the
people for the freedom and quail
tv of all men, for united ectlon
assuring the rights of all cizens,
for the elevation of labor, pr an
honest currency, for purity ulegls-
lation, and for integrity and scoun-
liability in all departments'f the
Government, and it accepts arw the
duty of leading in the work eprog-
ress and reform.
We lament the death of Pisldent
Garfield, whose sound states rnshlp
and long and conspicuous deer In
Congress gave promise of astrong
and successful administrator, a
promise fully realized dung the
| Short period of his office as bsldent
of the United States. Hlsdlstln-
guished success in war ar peace
have endsared him to the larts oil
the American people.
In the administration Resident
Arthur we recognize We, con

which the country has bet blessed

THE TARIFF PLAN
1 Its the first duty of q gN Govern
ment to protect the righsnd pro-
mote the interest of its rJole. The
: largest diversity ofiudut is most
| productive of prosperitybd of the
comfort and independEe of the
people. We therefore Hand that
the imposition of dutie5n foreign
3 imports shall be made, 4 for reve-
nue. only, but for raisif requisite
revenues for the Governont. Such
duties shall be levied 6 10 afford
security to our diversii, indutries
and protection to therights and
wages Of the laborer, toie end that
active and intelligent lar, as well
as capital, may have'its ust award
and the laboring man i full share
in the national prosperr. Against
the so-called economy stem of the
| Democratic party, whic would low
er our labor TO the loren standard
We enter an earnest sotest. The
Democratic party hasfailed com
pletely to relieve the pple of the
burden OF unnecessaryaxation by a
wise reduction of the frplus. The
Republican party pleges itself to
correct the inedualitieof the tariff
and to reduce the surpls, not by the
vicious and indiscrirhate process
of horizontal reductim bat by such
methods as will reliev the tax pay
er without injuring th labor or pro-
ductlve interests of th country.
| AGRICULTURAL INTERE'S RECOGNIZED,
We recognize the Importance of
sheep husbandry the United
States, the serious delression which
it's now experiencing, and the dan
ger threatening its fuhre prosperity,
and We therefore respect the demand
OF the representative of this impor-
tant agricultural inteest for a read
justment of the duty upon foreign
wool, in order that such industry
shall have full and .dequate protec-
ton.
We have Away recommended
the best money knewn to the civil
lied world, and we urge that efforts
should be made to unite all COM
mercial nations in tie establishment
of an international standard whic h
shall fix for all the relative valt.e OF
gold and silver coimge.
The regulation Of commerce with
foreign nations and between the
States is one of the most impor-
tant prerogatives of the General
Government, and the Republican
party distinctly announces its pur-
pose to support such legislation as
will fully and efficiently carry out
the constitutional power of Congress
over Interstate commerce. The

railway corporations is a wise and
