The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1892-04-23

The platform declares 'unbounded con-
hdence in President Harrison, leader
without fear and without reprOach.
The attitude of Secretary Blaine in the
settlement of international disputes is
commended, the Mckinley act indorsed,
and the general policy of the last Repub-
hcan congress in dealing with the silver
question Is commended. The present
house is thus scored
We denOunce the policy of cowardice and
false pretense pursued by the Democratic
party in the present congress They evade a
direct and manly issue upon the tariff ques-
tion and insiduOusly attack the existing law
by a series Of separate and inconsistent bills
aimed at particular industries, the first Of
which, placing wool upon the free list and
threatening disaster to the interests of the
American farmer, has already passed the
Democratic house.
Regarding immigration the document
says:
We recognize the valuable additions to our
population by worthy immigrants who have
come TO share the advantages of our free cit
izenship, but we cannot shut our eyes to the
fact that the interests of our wage earners
and the peace and prosperity of our country
are seriously threatened by great influx OF
undesirable immigrants from European coun-
tries, and we declare that the time has fully
come for the passage Of more stringent immi-
grafton laws than those now in force.
