We condemn the proposition Of the Demo
cratic party 20 place wool on the free list
and we insist that the duties thereon shall
be adjusted and maintained so as 20 furnish
full and adequate. protection 10 that indus
try. The Republican party would effect all
needed reduction Of the national revenue, by
repeating the taxes upon tobacco. which arr
an annoyance and burden TO agriculture
and the tax upon spirits used IN the arts and
for mechanical purposes, and by such rcyis-
ion OF the tariff laws as viii tend 70 check
imports OF such articles as are produced by
our people, the production of which gives
employment to our labor. and release from
import duties those articles of foreign pro.
duction Except luxuries) the like OF which
cannot be produced at home. If there shall
still remain larger revenue than is REQUESTS
for the wants of the government, we favor
the ensire repeal of internal taxes, rather
than the surrender of any part
Of our protective system, at the joint behests
OF the whisky trusts and the agents offoreign
manufacturers. We declare our hostility 20
the introduction into this country Of foreign
contract labor, and for Chinese labor, alien
to our civilization and our constitution, and
we demand the rigid enforcement Of the ex-
isting laws against it, and favor such irnme-
diate legislation as viii exclude such labor
from our shores. We declare our opposition
to all combinations ofcarital organized In
tfurlN OF OlUcfhtet,, 10 cDIatFOl HFultTuFtiy the

we recommend to congress and the state beg.
islatures in their respective Jurisdictions, such
legislation as viii prevent the execution of all
schemes TO Cypress the people by undue
charges on their supplies, or by unjust
rates for the transportation of their prod
ucts to market. We approve the legislation
by congress to prevent alike unjust burdens
and unfair determinations between the states.
We reaflirm the policy Of appropriating the
the public lands observation-disclosures to be home
steads for American citizens and settlers. not
aliens. which the Republican party established
in 1862, against the persistent opposition OF
the Democrats in congress, and which has
brought our great Western domain into such
magnificent development. Therestoration OF
domain for the use Of actual settlers. which
was begun under the administration Of pnsi-
dent Arthur. should be continued. We deny
that the Democratic party has eveI restored
one acre To tue people. but declare that by
the joint aetion of Republicans and Demo
Gratis about fifty millions Of acres ofunearued
lands originally granted for DEMONSTRATION
OF railroads, have been restored 90 the public
domain, in pursuance Of the conditions in-
serted by the Republican party in the origi-
nal grants. We charge the Democratic adj
ministrafion with failure TO execute the laws
securing to settlers title to their homesteads,
and with using appropriations made for that
purpose TO harass innocent settlers with
spies and prosecutions under the false pre-
tense Of exposing frauds and vindicating the
law

The Republicans of the United States as
sembled by their delegates in national con
vention pause ON the threshold of their pro
ceecings to honor the memory of their inst
great leader, the immortal champion oi
liberty and the rights Of the people-Abra-
ham Lincoln, and to cover also with wresths
OF imperishable remembrance and gratitude
the heroic names Of our later leaders who
have more recently been called away from
our councils-Grant. Garfield, Arther. Logan,
Conkiing. May their memories be faith
fully cherished We also recall with our
greetings and with prayer for his re-
covery the name of one Of our living heroes
whose memory will be treasured in the histo-
~ both of republicans and of the republic
the name Of that aobie soldier and favorite
child of victory, Philip II Sheridan In the
spirit of those great leaders, and CT our own
devotion to human liberty, and with that
hostility to all forms of despotism and OPP
preston which is the fundamental idea Of the
republican party, we send fraternal congrafu-
lations 10 our fellow Americans of Brazil up
on their great act OF emancipation,
which completed the abolition of slavery
throughout the two American continents We
earnestly hope that we may soon congratu-
late our fellow citizens OF Irish birth upon
the peaceful recovery of home rule for Ireland.
We reattirm our unswerying devotion 20 the
national constitution. and 10 the indissoluhle
union Of the states, to the auton-
omy reserved to the states under
the constitution; TO the personal rights and
liberties OF citizens in all the states and terri
tories IN the Union. and especially TO the sii-
preme and sovereign right Of every lawful
citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign born,
white OF black, to east one free ballot in pub
he elections and to have that ballot duly
counted. We hold the free and honest popt-
lar ballot and the just and equal representa-
ton OF all the people to be the foundation Of
our republican government, and demand ef-
feetiye legislation TO secure the integrity and
purity of authority We charge that the
present administration and the Democratic
majority IN congress owe their existence to
the suppression of tho ballot by a
criminal notification of the constitution
and laws Of the United States
We are uncompronSsingly in favor of the
American system of protection; we protest
against its destruction as proposed by the
president and his party. They Serve the in
terests of Europe; We will support the inter
ests Of America, We accept the issue and
confidently appeal to the people for their
Judgment. The protective system must be
maintained. Its abandonment has always
been followed by general disaster to all in-
terests, except those Of the Insurer and the
sheEln. We deno1uce the Mills bill as de-
structiFe to the general business, the labor
and the farming interests OF the country. and
we heartily endorse the consistent and pa
triotic action Of the Republican representa-
tive IN congress in opposing its passage.
