Some Important Suggestions Which Ever
German Voter Will Read Views a

The following letter addressed to ..al
voters of German descent" has been is
sued by large number of leading Ger
man-American citizens of New York:
Recognizing the great commercial and in
/ dustrial Importance of the approaching presi
dental election to our adopted fatherland an,
/ being fully convinced that the Republican
party not only represents the best interests O
the nation, but is ever most actively ENGAGE
/ to further them, the undersigned citizens o
/ German descent have constituted theIuselve
/ committee TO work for the election of tn,
/ standard bearers of that party. We have II
active connection with politics. but rs citizen,
{ and business men who realize that the pro-,
perIty OF this country is due To the wise com
mercial policy Of the Republican party. ",
consider it our duty to give energetic expires
sion 10 our convictions. and 10 oppose the vaCu,
theories OF the free traders, which have l.,
substantial basis in fact.
The Republican party has. true IL its trsdi
tions. declared itself for the protection of on
industries and for honest money. The Demo
cratic party has declared itself for unli!,lit, "a

duced.
Both free trade and protection have been
sufficiently tested. The direct consequence g:
the free trade legislation of ISIS was the mark
ed decline IN our national prosperity. which
eliminated in the great commercial crisis of
1851. Protection took the place of the tariff
for revenue only; the country recovered. CON
merce and industry thrived, till in ISi6 lis.
tariff was again reduced and the terrible panic.
of 1857 was the result. Again the people of the.
United States declared for protection. Tie
consequence was a development of all Our
national resources beyond the widest exrec-
tation and general prosperity such as Ih,.
world had never seen before.
When Grover Cleveland. true TO the rcrC-
tiOnary principles of the Democratic party de
clared himself for free trade in his MESSAGE.
Dec. g, 1851, the people, mindful of the bad ca
perences which it had made in the past with
free trade, rejected the Democratic party AID
again intrusted the government of the Matte.
TO the Republican party.
Never was the balance of trade so favorable
to US as now. never was the prosperity OF the
whole country general: never were the wa.r
