THE TARIFF PLANK.
The following il the tariff plank: We re-
affirm orr belief in the Republican doc

Home markets with millions of consumers
engaged in varied industries are the best
in the world and for many perishable artl-
Giles the only ones accessible. Inc Anerl-
can markets should be first for our own
citizens. and 10 this end we favor leVymg
import duties upon the products OF other
nations. often the result Of degraded labor.
selecting such articles a. we can produce
proftably and as will bring revenue TO
the Government and impose the least
burden upon our own people.
DEMOCRACY CONDEMNED. OF COURSE.
We condemn the Democratic doctrine Of
free trade, under the operations OF winch
the thousands now engaged IN manuiac-
tnring. mining, and like industries must
be driven To agricultural pursuits, at once
increasing our farm products and destroy
ing the best and most reliable market for
them. and commend the policyOf reciprocl-
~ proposedin connection with the pending
tariff legislation, to the end that when our
markets are opened more freely 10 the pro-
ducts of other countries we should Obtain
as n consideration therefor more favorable
trade privileges with the countries 10 be
benefited. We will thus secure, cspe-
ciallv in Mexico, the Central and South
American States, and the adjacent islands
such a market for our agricultural and
manufactured products rs will enable Us
10 pay for our sugar and coffee with the
products of our mills and farms.
