81 this state ever since its admission
into the t'niOn, and these laws DEM |
Onstrate it, speedy response to every |
worthy demand mad. for the pro- |
tectl0n Of the rights Of the people. |
We arc in favor of the principle Of /
protection as eNPOunded Icy the great /
leader of Republican thought and 4
pOliiy, the Hon. James q. Blaine,
and its enforcement To the extent of
giving the American citizen an sd-
vantage over the foreign producer,
thus enabling him TO maintain his
Industry aud to make such n fair
profit a. will induce others to en-
bark in the ssmP business, believing
such q policy Increases the wages Of
labor, creates y good homo market,
and results TO the benefit OF all class
Is.
We want the same degree OF pro-
lection 10 ne given to agricultural
products that IL extended to all 9TH
eF Interests. The commercial and
Industrial interests Of the country |
demand a tariff whose maximum |
