We reat11rm the American doctrine of protec-
ton We Call attention! to it's growth abroad. 4
I We maintain that the prosperous condition OF
our country is largely due to the wise revenue
legislation of the republican congress-
| We believe that all articles which cannot be
produced in the United States, except luxuries,
should be admitted free of duty, and that on ali
| imports coming in competition with the prod-
,ucts OF American labor there should be levied
dntieS equal to the difference between wages
abroad and at home
We assert that the prices of manufactured
articles OF general consumption have been re-
| duced under the operations of the tariff act Of
1890.

majority Of the house of representatives TO de-

ores, the chief products of number of states
and we ask the people for their Judgment there 4

We demand that every citizen Of the

We denounce the continued inhuman ortrages
perpetrated upon American citizens for political
reasons in certain southern states Of the union.
| We favor the extension OF our foreign com.
merce, the restoration OF our merchant marine
by home built ships and the creation of a navy
for the protection of our national interests and
