The representatives of the Republican

midst of our desolated and deserted mining
camps. condemn the Democratic Admins
tration that through vicious and unwise
legislation, have wrought such general and
wide spread ruin throughout our fair and
favored land.
WE rejoice that one of the cardinal doc
trines of the Republican party ais the great

We advocate and demand the immediate re-
storation of the free and unlimited coma,
of silver at the ratio of Ii to |, wi, bout j.
examination against either metal, and with
out waiting foI the cooperation of any otn
Ell nation or nations.
WE hail with satisfaction the overwhelm
ing bimetalllc sentiment that has been Gre
ated throughout the entire world by the
eloquent and u1answerable logic of the
great Republican senators in thr senate o
the United States during the past year.
WE condemn the actions of Grover Cleve
land, a Democratic president of the United
States in calling an extra session of Con
gress for the express purpsc of de troying TIL,
great silver mining industry by repeating the

capital" and is entitled t. the fullest pro
lection. Protection to home industries has
been the leading doctrine of the Republican
party and of the country; under its benign
influence we have experienced a degree OF
prosperity unparalleled in the history of any
Nation. 1t has been the glory and salvation
of the Nation. Snail we go on gathering the
grand results of protection, or shall we con

experiment of a "tariff for revenue" and
repeat the disaster and distress OF 1887 and
1857.
WE deplore the effect of the present Demo
cratic and Populistic pop gun" tariff bill
of the SD congress upon the wool industr!
of New Mexico, an industry that under Re
publican tart. laws had become our larges
and most remunerative. We look upon thu
act of congress, with the approval and con
sent of Antonio Joseph, placing wool upor
: the free list, as a base betrayal of and {
crime against the people of New Mexico, ant
we demand its full restoration aud protec

WE protest against the extravagant anC
non American conduct of the present Ma

r through which the dignity ofthe high office o
president has been lowered, and its author

parallel in the history OF the Nation.
WE denounee the act of the Populist mem
