ing and other neeessaries of life" IL is to-day the only avowpd and consistent party ally which the home and labor have, for 1t -a-ould make the blessings Of home cheap and remove altogether it's curses it would bring labor9o sobriety and insure employment 1t would keep the factories busy to clothe labor, the farms active to feed it, and would give to our whole industrial system the impetus of a pros perity never yet known, and never possible till the saloons are put away.
 That party is not labors truest friend which would bar the importation of paupers from abroad or close the tarif door of competition to pauperiZe foreign industry, and then by licuor system perpetuate the manufacture Of paupers and criminals in our own midst, with whom honest labor must compete, and whom, largely, honest labor must support. I shall bear with glad and reverent hands the only party standard on which is inscribed For God and Home and Native Land the standard of the only party which recognizes God as the source Of government and would defend His holy day from dissertation; which is the guardi. an Of home best interests and defender Of the Nation through these; and which, burying the dead past of sectional strife and bitterness, would build living future. on the sure basis Of sober manhood and pure womanhood and un- tainted youth, for all our united country.

And l rejoice that, standing on the platform so well fra med at Indianapolis, which so admirably recognizes other great principles than this Of prohibitoa-declaring, as we de- clare, that citizenship rests on no mere CT. cumstanee Of race, color, sex or nationality" and affirming, as always shall affirm, the !ull rights of citIzensRip for all. standing over, as we must, for the defense Of the weak and the oppressed; we can and de assert that prohibl. ton IS the dominant issue in National poll tics, and we and do invite to full party fellowship all who on this one dominant issue are with us agreed. believing that as we settle this broad question for the right shall best conserve the welfare of our entire Nation and Of every class within IL, so shall we make certain the wse and speedy settlement of every lesser question involved and arising, so shall we prove ourselves Christian patriots and or dain the perpetuity of this Christian Republic, Faithfully yours,
