I'VE favor tho continuance OF the

Mcan party rs contained in the Nc
klnlcy law, which protects alike tho
American farmer, laborer, manufacturer
anu all the industries OF the country.
We further endorse tho reciprocity
provisions OF the Mckinley law as the
h!andmaid and ally OF protection, OPEN
Ing the markets OF tho world to the
products OF our farms and factories
without any injury to our homo indus
tries =. -
The Republican party now. as it
ever has been. is the true friend OF tho
solder who stood by his country in the
hour OF its peril, and wo therefore favor
ioeral pensions to the country's de-
lenders. We condemn tho present
democratic house OF representatives for
It's intense hostility to tho soldiers and
pensioners, rs manifested by its refusal
70 consider the petitions Of union SOL
Wers. their widows and orphans.
