national committee has issued the fol-
lowing address:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE NATIONAL J
COMMITTEE, Nov. Z, 1892. I
To the electors of the country The
day OF the election is at hand. Tomorrow
you will be called upon TO determine by
your votes, the most important questions.
fairly and squarely presented TO the
country since 1861. You are TO decide be-
tween the policy OF progress and the poll
cy os reaction in this country. You are
TO say whether or not tariff schedules are
TO be so adjusted as to furnish protection
TO the labor and productions OF the
country.
While raising revenue to sustain the GOV
ernment, or whether such adjustment is
inadmissible because unconstitutional
you are TO decide between the policy OF
protection and free trade The party
platform leaves no doubt as TO the posi-
tion of the respective parties on the tariff
question. The Republican platform ia
vors
Protection to American Labor
and American products. The Democratic
party declares such policy unconstitution-
al and therefore commits the Demo
cracy of the nation to the British policy
OF free trade. You are TO pronounce for
or against the reliable, stable financial
structure built by the fathers and found
ers OF the Republican party. You are TO
say whether this sound policy Is to be
continued or abandoned in favor of the
Democratic scheme for the resurrection OF
state banks and wildcat" currency.
BY your votes you must say hat you do.
or do not, desire TO disturb the present
prosperity of the country, by involving
our commerce, our manufactures our az
TIC slture, our mining and our finances, fff,-
doubt and uncertainty for an indefinite
period OF time.
The reelection of President Harrison
Will insure continuance of the splendid
policy under which the nation has pros
pered in every branch of Industrial life
His reelection will insure a continuance
OF confidence In the policy of the govern
ment and will eliminate all questions of
doubt as to the course TO be pursued with
reference to important government oper-
ations In the future
The election of Mr.. Cleveland would, on
the contrary, bring
Business 10 "A StandstiIl;
involve every operation i'm doubt, and |
raise questions as to the effect unknown
legislation might have on the economic
and financial policy of the government
We confidently submit to the country
that no cause exists for change and that
abundant reasons will occur TO the mind
tinuanoe OF Republican policy and Repub-
lican administration.
This committee has conducted the cam
paign on the issues presented by the re-
spective parties. Our opponents have
peen driven TO the necessity OF saying
That their candidate Is better than their
platform and should be trusted not 10
execute its declarations. They would
have the country believe, that through
their candidate they can procure tariff
reform-while the party in convention |
assembled declared itself absolutely in
ayers would have the country believe that
Their nominee can be safely trusted TO
violate the pledges of the party in favor
OF the resurrection of state banks.
In short the Democracy Of the country
mas aodlcated 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
Relies Upon Its Candidate
to violate the platform-thus hanging the
of the country on the slender
thread OF a single human life. Our can
didate and the party he represents, are
each IN compieet harmony with the other
and both candidate and party stand
IN 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 TO violate or to refuse
10 execute any principle OF the party nc
in its national platform. The I
party nominated candidate worthy of
he confidence and respect of every Gift
zen, whether he be judged by his acts on
ne neld OF battle while defending the ma
ions flag, as a senator I'm Congress or as ,
he chief magistrate OF the nation. ,
IL Is gratifying to announce that the =
PATRIOTIC press OF the country has, TO an
extent, supported our can- ,
iidate and our platform during this cam
'aign; Neither our campaign nor our
ause has proven popular In England or
continental Europe. The Democratic
lominee and his platform have met with
UNIVERSAL applause in every country seek
ny TO rival US In the commercial world.
Not Single Newspaper {
n England OF on the continent OF Eu- .
ope, has spoken a kindly word OF Gen. p
Harrison or the Republican party in this Z
ampaign. Our policy does not Justify o
upport from abroad, nor have we courted y
avor from the champions Of alien inter v
SITS. This cannot be truthfully said of r
'ur political opponents. We have relied | q
or aid and support on the friends of !,
american interests and not representa- h
ives OF foreign interests.
