party from this condition and to build IL

We call upon the white republicans OF
the state to organize and come to the sup

that great American principle Of protec-

products, the fostering Of home INDUS
tries and the provision by fair interna-
tional reciprocity of market for our
farm products we believe to be the true
American doctrine.
Resolved, That we condemn the feder-

the national republican party will make
no further inSiStance upon its adoption.
