odious war taxes or borrow money.
1t is wholly erroneous on the
theory that the less work there is to
do in this country the higher will be

THE THREAT OF THE WILSON BILL
II the Wilson bill does all the
things in the threats which it con-
Ways, what will it do in its fruition?
The republicans of Pennsylvania,
and ths people Of our great common
wealth as well, declare war upon it,
unceasing war in house and senate,
and it's senators and representatives
in congress, including the congress
man at-large nominated to day, are
requested to make this warfare felt
in every wise and patriotic way, to
the end that, by the defeat of the
Wilson bill, American workingmen,
producers and manufacturers may
resume that prosperity which the
country had but single year ago.
RESOLVED.
That Penusylvanias recent ma aiority
of 134, 900 was a most emphatic en-
dorsement of this party's national
and state platforms, both of which
are now reaffirmed, with the addi-
tional declaration that the repub,i-
can party favors the long established
policy of our republic to encourage
sister republics, howsoever weak and
foster the spirit of liberty wherever
its fires are lighted. so long as this
can be done without promoting or
encouraging dangerous foreign al
haDces;" and in this Connection we de-
nounce the unpatriotIc foreign policy
Of the democratic national admins
tration in the Hawaiian matter.
The convention adopted this plat
form amid considerable enthusiasm |
