United States senator on the table. by y
vote of l.0i9 30 SIS. The platform was
adopted. as fellows:
THE Republican party Of the state OF
Illinois re-affiTI1s its belief in the great
principles of civil aud religious liberty
Upon which this government was founded

raising the necessary revenue to maintain
the government We are tn favor of euch

te nd TO the development of the resources of
Our own country. of the labor OF our own
people, performed at wages which put the
comforts of life within easy reach. and
will SECURE good prices for the products
ahKe for our farms. our mines ard our
workshops, and We believe that al StcIes
that cannnt be successfully produced IN
this country. except luxuriss, should be
placed upon the free list. We further be-
lieye that without labor there IS no such
thing as raw material OF any practical
or marketable valile, and no tangible
thing OF vatue that il does not require la
bor TO produce orbtilize, and hence the
importation OF so-calted raw material free
OF duty is an Interference with the system
of protection to American labor aud should
only be permitted when the raw material
is unohtainahle in our own country. We
aenounce ms unwise and un-American the
prov isions OF the so-Salsed Wilson tariff
bill, modified in the senate by the nice
ton OF weak and inconsistent attempts 10
pro&ect special interests, as now pending
in congress. and We charge the DEM
ocrasic rarty with the sole respoA-
sibiiity for the effort TO destroy
our tariff system, which has
proven che greatest boon TO the great mass
OF American citizens. and we further de-
clare tina. the unusual and unhealthy con-

prosperity and bring health to the body of

lean party should be restored TO power.
I'VE favor bi-meFailism and believe in
