RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE STATE con-
NENTION JUNE 8. 1856.
Resolved, That the Republicans of Maine,
responsible with single years exception. for
the government of the State for the past thirty
years, point with pride to the steady advance
in the prosperity of all classes of our people;
and they hereby proclaim with confidence the
principles to which they adhere, on national
and State issues.
Resolved, That the distractions of the free
trade theorists are not adapted to the indus
trial wants of this country. and that the pro-
lection of American labor is the true political
economy Of the American people as long as
they are obliged to compete with the manufac
turers and ill-paid labor of the old world. We
call the especial attention of all working men
to the fact that wages in the United States I'M
der protective tariff are from Is to 30 per
cent higher than under the revenue tariff in
force before the Republicans came into power
in 1S61-wagcs at both periods being counted
on the gold basis in money, or rcckoncd in
comparison with the commodities necessary
for living.
Resolved, That the Morrison tariff bill re-
ported from Democratic committee of ways
and means and supported by the great body of
the Democratic members of Congress, aims
with apparently special malcvoence to mure
the material interests of Maine. BY its proviS-
ions all the manufactures of Maine are depriv-
ed of protective duty; the farm products of

of Canada to free competition with the lumber
of Maine; the fishermen of Nova Scotia are
put on a better basis than the fishermen of
Maine; and as fitting climax the shipbuildiny
