Now as at every stage OF its existence the policy
of the Republican party has been formulated not with
any view to mere temporary party supremacy bht
with due regard 10 the and permanent welfare
of the whole country. During the third Of u century

has proposed and advocated many new and advanced

EFFECTS OF THE M'KINLEY BILL.
The Tariff bill passed by the last Republican Con-
ness was not In full operation at the time Of the
last election it Is not surprising in view OF the
bitter attacks made upon 1t by adversaries and
the misrepresentation 10 its provisions. that the
election Of last autumn went against the Republican
party. But nearly year has now gone by, and
We as Republicans of the state of New-YOrk,
fdently submit 10 fll0Wrltizcns tie record Of
The last year, and ask their suffrage In
favor of the party Of intelligence and progress. We
claim that this Is the first tariff BIZ containing dis
tnctively agricultural schedule. We claim that the
statistics OF foreign trade during the ten months
since the enactment OF the law. until July 81.
