THE RESOLUTIONS.
The Committee on Resolutions made the fol-
lowing report through Hon. d. n Mortland
which was adopted
| Resolved. That the Rcpublicans of Maine
responsible with single wears exception foi
the Government of the State for the mast thirt,
wears point with pridc tn the steady advance II
the prosperity of all classes of our people: anf
they hereby proclaim with confidence the princi
ple. to which they adhere ON national and Stat,
issues.
Resolved. That the distractions of the fre,
trade theorists are not adapted to the industrial
wants of this country, and that the protection
of American labor is the true political rronom-
Of the American people as long as they are oh
lgcd to compete with the manufacturers and il
maid labor Of the Old World We call the spc
cial attention OF all working men to the fac
that wages in the United States under a protec
tive tariff are from ID to 30 per cent. highe
than under the revenue tariff in force before tn,
Republicans came into power in lS6l-wages a
both periods being counted on the gold basis /,
money, or reckoned in comparison with tn
commodities necessary for living.
3 Resolved, That the Morrison Tariff bill re
ported from "A Democratic Committee of Way
and Means, and supported by the great body o
the Democratic members Of Congress, ain,
with apparently special maevolenee to injur
the material interests of Maine. By its pro
visions all the manufactures of Maine are de
prived Of protective duty; the farm product
Of Canada are to be admitted to free compcti
ton with the farm products of Maine the lum
Der of Canada to free competition with the lu.u
Der of Maine; the fishermen of Nova Scotia ar,
put on better basis than the fishermen o
Maine; and as "a fitting climax the shipbuldiut
interest of Maine is to be broken down by ad
hitting foreign built ships to American regstr,
free of all charge of duty. In short, so fur a,
Maine is concerned, the Morrison Tariff bill
aims to promote foreign interests instead o.
home interests. We therefore dcnounce the nc
ton of the Democratic State Convention in ap,
proving this bill as traitorous to the leading in.
terests of the State.
Resolved, That the Democratic Represen-
tatives in Congress who propose to surrender
the free market of the United States to Cana
dian fishermen, while Canada prohibits Ameri-
can fishermen from obtaining in their waters re-
ciprocal privileges, are guilty Of act which is
at once illogical and unpatrotic) an act which
must have originated in sectional malice or
nave been the offspring of ignorance. II con-
it would certainly result in the totad
destruction Of the fishery interest of the United
States on the Atlantic coast.
Resolved, That we thank the Maine Repre-
entatiyes for their united opposition to the ex-
ravagant corrupt River and fiarbor bill re-
emily passed by the Democratic House Of Rep
eseutatiyes-a measure so censurable as to
ompel the Democratic Convention of Maine to
cnounce their own party for passing tom
ceiling them also to declare that Congress- I'M
Ter their own Democratic administration, "has
evoted six months Of its labor and all OF its in
enuty in dcvisng ways and means to deplete
he Treasury of its surplus millions, to thu neg
nct of important legislation, which the country
eeds." We hereby heartily concur with the
Democratic Convention in their Just estimate of
he members of their own party in Congress
tho have control Of the expenditures of public
honey.
u Resolved, That labor and capital must be in
armony TO insure the prosperity of either.
very conflict between the two tends TO the in
