Address no THE COUNTRY.

The RopublIcan National Committee Is
sues a Last Appeal to the Voters.
NEW York, November 6.-The Repub-
lican national committee issued an ad-
dress to tho voters of tho country to-
day. 1t says in part:
Tomorrow you will be called upon to
determine by your votes, the most i'm
portant questions fairly and squarely
presented to the country since 1861.
You are to decide between the policy of
progress and the policy Of reaction in
this country. You are to cay whether
or notitarif schedules are to be so adj
justed as to furnish protection to the
labor and productions OF the country
while raising revenue to sustain the
government, or whether such ADJUST
ment is inadmissible because unconsti-
tutional. You are to decide between
the policy Of protection and free trade.
The party platforms leave no doubt
as to the position OF the respective par
ties on tine tariff question. The Repub-
lican platform iavors protection to
American labor and American products.
The Democratic platform declares such
policy unconstitutional, and therefore
to the British policy OF free trade. You
are to pronounce for or against the reli-
able, stable, financial structure built by
the fathers and founders OF the Repub-
hcan party You are to say whether
this sound policy is 10 be continued or
abandoned in favor OF the Democratic
scheme for the resurrection OF state
banks and wildcat currency, finances in
doubt and uncertainty for an indeti-
mite period of time.
The reelection OF President Harrison
will insure n continuance of the splen-
did policy under which the nation has
pros pered in every branch OF industrial
life. His reelection will insure con-
tinuance OF confidence in the policy OF
tho government and will eliminate all
questions OF doubt as to the course to
be pursued with reference to important
government operations in the future
The election OF Mr.. Clevelandwould,on
the contrary, lyring business to stand
still; involve every operation in doubt,
and raise questions as TO the effect un-
known legislation might have on the
economic and financial policy OF the
government. We confidently submit
to the country that no cause exists for
chance, and that abundant reasons
will occur TO the mind of every loyal
citizen in favor Of a continuance OF Re-
publican policy aud Republican ad.
ministration.
This committee has conducted the
campaign on the issues presented by
the respective parties. Our opponents
have been driven to the necessity OF
i0,e. "a haNt
than their platform and should be trust
ed not to execute its declarations. In
short, the Democracy OF the country
has abdicated in favor Of its candidate
and the management hopes to win IN
this election by insisting that the party
does not support its platform, but re-
lies upon its candidate to violate its
patform-thus hanging the prosperity
OF the country on the slender thread Of
n single human life.
While pleading poverty, the Demo-
cratic national committee has been
amply supplied with funds intended to
influence American citizens to vote
against their own interests.
We are advised that the funds have
been chiefly contributed by foreigners,
who seek to break down the barriers Of
protection to the end that they may
reap profits and interests built np BY
the patriotic policy OF the Republican
patry. This committee has used the
neaCre contribution given it by tho
people to fairly and honorably
present to the country the issues
to be passed upon at the ballot
box. Our opponents have relied
upon the degrading and corrupt infu-
ences OF money, to be used on election
day, to induce the people 10 abandon
their principles aud thoir interests and
vote the Democratic ticket. For tho
purpose OF covering this reprehensiblo
scheme. the Democratic press has sub.
stantially abandoned a discussion OF
the issues and their space has been de-
voted to a continuous aud wholly I'M
justified line OF assertions, with refer
ence TO supposed enormous contribu-
tions to tho Republican national com.
mittee for the alleged purpose Of carry
ing the election.
Confidently relying on your patriot
ism, integrity and common sense, We
rest with you the cause OF protection,
the policy OF reciprocity, the financial
system OF the government. the exteu.
sion OF our merchant marine and the
Republican principle OF free ballot
and an honest count. We appeal 70
every Republican, every friend OF pro.
lection, every friend OF fair trade, every
friend OF honest money and every friend
OF universal suffrage to vote the Repub-
lican ticket.
