..We deplore the death of Gen. Will
lam Lilly, cut down in the day Of his

tfyes. His memory will aver renlain in
the hearts of the Republicans of Penn
sylvania as that of a man representing
bhe best a~nd%noblest type OF American
citizenship, OF lofty character and un-
mpeachable integrity. He was one
Whose services to his country. his state.
shis party and his friends were rendered
with unfailing patriotism and fidelity"
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The report of the committee on reso-
Mtions as read by Mr.. Magee was adopt
ed as follows.
"Resolued, That the Republican con-
mention OF Pennsylvania, recalled to
a congressman-at-large, needs
not to be reminded OF the fact that this
is, e representative office; that the stu
fation in Washington gives it not only
state but national Importance, and that
it invites the fullest possible expression
sof the public view on Tuesday, the Goth
dnysof February next, to the end that
I'LL our land may know the tenor of cur
rent thought upon the most immediate
and vital issue presented in the Will
son bill.
q The simple anticipation of this meas
8 ure has closed thousands of workshops.
DIT has reduced to idleness two millions
of workers, n soup houses now dis
place former hives OF industry.
It %has reduced values Dan amount
sgreater than the national debt.
% 1t will enlarge the free list only upon
products which employ the greatest
&number of American workmen.
s. It will strike With equal cruelty the
farmer, the miner, the lumberman, the
iron worker, the glass worker and the
textile worker.
It will transfer work from our own
mills, mines and workshops to those OF
foreign countries.
1t is sectional in it's authorship, and
SIS all too plainly aimed at northern in
8dustries.
It fosters the plantation system and
destroys the farm. It is an attempt
upon the part OF the free traders OF the
south to reduce the industries of the
north to the level Of those of the south.
It is vicious in it's change from spe-
nific't to ad valorem duties, the latter in:
syiting foreign undervaluations and lead
i to constant and cumulative frauds
upon the avenue.
1t is vicious in reducing instead of
INCREASING revenues.
SIt will reduce the revenue many mill
ions of dollars and the reductions will
grow with time.
II is vicious in compelling the gov
Sernment to make up these deficits by
inenns OF Unconstitutional and direct
taXes.
u is doubly vicious in compelling its
&Hupporters to resort to the most odious
WA taxes or borrow money
It IS wholly on the theory
that the less work there is to do in this
country the higher will be the wage OF
1.-THE workmen.
The protective policy conveys the
opposing thought, and says. that the
policyswhich the largest amount
Of work at home is the one which Sc
scures the best wages to the rome work
man.
If the Wilson bill does ali of these
sthings in the threats which. it conveys,
what will it do in ita iruitionP
The Republicans of Pennsylvania, and
1.-THE people of our great cotamonwealth
as we'll, declare war upon it, unceasing

and representative in Congress, in
