National committee today:
ITO the Electors of the Country The
day of election is at hand Tomorrow you
will be called upon to determine by your
votes the most important questions fairly
and sqOarely presented TO the country
since 1851. You are to decide between q
policy of progress and policy of reaction
Ia the country. You are TO say whether or
not the tariff schedules are to be SO adjusted
rs TO furnish protection to labor and pro-
duction while raising revenue to sustain
the government or whether such adjust
menJ ia admissible because constitutional.
You are to decide between the policy of
protection and free trade. The party plat
forms leave no doubt as to the position of
the respective parties on the tariff cues
ton.
THE Republican platform favors protec-
ton to American labor and American
products. The Democratic platform de-
clares such policy unconstitutional and,
therefore, commits the Democracy OF the
nation TO the British policy of free trade.
on are to pronounce for or against a re-
liable and stable financial structure built
by the fathers and founders of the Repub-
llcan party. You are TO say whether this
btNuO pClCy Is 10 De cOnLluuSQ OF 6Dhu-
uoned in favor of the Democratic scheme
fer a resuscitation of state banks and wild
cat currency. BY your votes you must say
ths you DO not desire to disturb the
present pros perity OF the country by in
volving our commerce, manufactures,
agricultural interests and finances in
1oubt and uncertainty for an indefinite
period.
''The re- election of Harrison Will insure
q continuance Of the splendid policy under
which the nation has prospered ia every
branch OF life. His election viii insure
continuance OF confidence in the policy of
the government aud viii eliminate ali
questions of doubt as TO the course 10 be
pursued with reference to important gov
eminent operations in the future. The
election of Cleveland would, on the con-
trary, bring business TO a standstill, in
VolTe every operating industry in doubt
and raise questions as to the effect IN
known Legislation might have on the econ
omic and financial policy of tue govern
ment.
1--WE submit to the country that no
cause exists for a change and that abuu-
liant reasons viii recur TO the mind of
every loyal citizen to favor a continuance
Of Republican policy and Republican i'd
minlstration. This committee has con-
nucIed the campaign on the issues pre-
sented by the respective parties. Our

than their platform. and should be trusted
not 80 execute Ito declarations. They would
have the country believe that through
their candidate they can procure tariff re-
forms, while the party in convention as
sent led declared itself absolutely in favor
of free trade.
1.-THE Democratic managers would have
the country believe their nominee can be
safely trusted TO violate the pledges Of his
party in favor of the resurrection Of state
banks In short, the Democracy of the
country has sbdicated in favor OF its candi- |
Date and lis management hopes to win N
this way by insisting that the party does |
not support It's platform. but relies upon its !
candidate 10 violate the platform-thus |
hanging the prosperity of the country on !
the slender thread of single human life |
Our candidate, and the party he represents, /
are each in complete harmony with the /
other, aud both candidates and arty stand /
Ia harmony with the best interests of the |
republic. We dodge no issue We do not ask |
our candidate to aid Us in catching votes /
by promising 10 violate or refuse TO execute !
any principle Of party as announced in its !
national platform The party nominated a !
candidate worthy of the confidence and re- |
spect OF every citizen, whether he De
judged by his acts on the field OF battle /
while defending the nations flag, as a SEN |
L
is gratifying to announce that the patriotic
press OF the country has TO an unpre- |
cedented extent supported our candidate /
and our platform during this campaign. |
Neither our campaign nor our cause has I
proven popular in England or Continental |
Europe. The Democratic nominee and |
platform have met with universal /
rival US in the commercial world. Not a /
single newspaper in England or on the |
Continent Las spoken kindly word Tor
General Harrison or the Republican party. /
Our policy does not justify il, nor have we |
ccurted favor from champions of alienators. /
This cannot be said of our political oppon-
ents.
''N lille pleading poverty. the Democratic
national committee has been amply sup !
piled with funds intended TO influence |
American citizens to vote against their own
interests. We are advised that these funds I
have been chiefly contributed by foreigners
who seek TO break down the bar I
rier of protection 20 the end that
they nay reap the profits on the
various industries built up by protection. |
."This committee has used the meagre con-
tribution given it by the people TO fairly
and honorably present to the country issues
to be passed upon at the ballot box. Our
have relied upon the degrading
and corrupt influences of money TO De used
principles and interests and vote the Dem
occatic ticket.
"For the purpose Of covering this despic-
able scheme the Democratic press has sub
stantialiy abandoned discussion of issues
and their space has been devoted to
continuous and wholly unjustified as
sertions with reference to the sup
posed enormous contributions TO the Re
publican national committee for the alleged
purpose Of carrying the election Driven TO
desperation, well knowing that the common
sense body of The people is arrsyed againt
their unrighteous cause the Democratic
party has not only sent forth false cry TO
c1ver up their tracks while undertaking to
debauch voters, but have likewise in this
state. through lieutenanss, sought to incits
evil disposed persons to employ insurrec-
tionary methods for the purpose of pre-
venting officers Of the law from guarding
the ballot box. as they are sworn to do for
the purpose OF preventing fraud. For the
6rst time in the history of the Republic
prominent officers in an imperial state have
sndeayored to iDcite citizens who have
heretofore honored him by their confidence :
