prosperous condition Of our country is
largely due to the wise revenue legisla.
ton Of the Republican congress. We
believe that all articles which cannot be
produced in the United States, except
Injuries, should be admitted free Of
duty, and that on all imports coming
into competition with the products Of
American labor there should be levied
duties 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 $780,
We denounce the efforts OF the Dem
ocratic majority Of the house OF repre-
sentatiyes to destroy our tariff laws by
plecemeai as is manifested by their
attacks upon wool, lead and lead ores,
the chief products OF number of
states, and we ask the people for their
Judgment thereon. We point to the
success Of the Republican policy OF re-
ciprocity under which our export trade
has vastly increased and new and en-

the products Of our farms and work
shops. We remind the people OF the
bitter opposition OF ihe Democratic
party to this practical business meas

producers OF the country, its farmers
and its workingmen, demand that every

government, shall be as good as any
other. We commend the wise and
patriotic steps already taken by our
government to secure an international
conference, to adopt such measures as
will insure parity Of value between
gold and silver for use as money
throughout the world.
We demand that every citizen OF the
United States shallbe allowed to cast
one free and unrestricted ballot in all
public elections, and that such ballot
shall be counted and returned as cast;
that such laws shall be enacted and en-
forced as will secure to every citizen, be

white or black, this sovereign right
guaranteed by the constitution.
The free and honest popular ballot,
the Just and equal representation OF all
the people as well as their Just and
equal protection under tho laws, are the
foundation OF our Republican institu-

We denounce the continued inhuman
outrages perpetrated upon American
citizens for political reasons in certain
southern states OF the union.
We favor the extension of our foreign
commerce, the restoration OF our mer-
chant marine by home built ships and
the creation OF q navy for the protection
Of our national interests and the honor
OF our flag, the maintenance Of. the most
friendly relations with all foreign pow
