 Resoleed, That, while Congress maintains the policy of protective tariff, demand that all farm products shall be fully pro- tccted the most favored of the manu- featuring industries
 ReS0tred That while, as now, t protective tariff is maintained which substantially pro- hibits importations of foreign carpets and many other articles of manufactured goods, we demand that the duties on mutton, sheep and wool Of all kinds shall be SO increased as to equally prohibit the importation of nut ton, sheep and wool of every kind which can. under protection, be sufficiently produced at fairly remaneratve prices i'll the United states to supply all American wants. inclnd- ing the better class of carpet wools. es- pecially as carpets, as luxuties, are entitled to less favor than farm and ranch products.
 ReSotred, That the tariff on wool imported to make carpets should at least be IS high as that imported to make coats.
 Resoired, That fl protection to this extent be denied, will call upon the farmers of the United states to assert their power at the ballot box and otherwise to right the wrong and injustice of discrimination against them. If they fail in this the wool and mutton pro ducing industries will be SO seriously crip- pied that they will be, in large measure, destroyed, and the farm CTS will no longer have any in- terest in protection for the manufacturers of wooden goods but will insist that they shall have no larger measures of protection than is accorded to the wool industry. including any kind of wool.
 Resofred. That the farmers ef the United States are not called upon to support the nomination of any man for President, Sen ator or Representative in Congress who will not, to his utmost ability, aid III carrying out the objects of the foregoing resolutions.
 Resoired, That favor the commercial treaties which will discriminate in favor of the nations which accept silver as legal tender money as well as gold, and against those which have dcmonctiZcd silver.
