so-called raw materials free of duty is
an interference at the system of pro-
lection of American labor and should
only be permitted when the raw ma
terial is unobtainable in our own coun-
try. We denounce as unwise and I'M
American the provisions of the social
ed Wilson tariff bill, modified in the
Senate by the injection of weak and
inconsistent attempts to protect
special interests, now pending
in congress- and we charge
the Democratic party with the sole re-
sponsibility for the effort to destroy
our tariff system which has proven the
greatest boon to the great mass of
American citizens, and we further de-
clare that the unusual and unnatural
conditions now existing in this nation
between labor and capital, which have
led to 1aWlessness, bloodshed, the in
terruption of business and brought
misfortune to all, are the natural re-
suit of the false economic theories, We
cilliating policy and hopeless incom-
potency of the Democratic party, and
to remove the evil, thus created, re-
store prosperity and bring health to
the body of the people, it is necessary
that the Republican party should be
restored to power
We favor bimetallism and favor the
use of gold and silver as money met
ais upon a parity of values, with COM
plete interconvertibility under such
legislative provisions as shall make the
purchasing or debt paying power of
any dollar coined or issued by the Uni
ted States absolutely equivalent to
any other dollar so coined or issued.
We believe in the purity of the bal
lot and freedom of elections, and we
hold that the true freedom of elections
is obtained and secured only by and
under the law.
The Republicans of Illinois are in
favor of the largest personal liberty
consistent with law and order.
We favor the payment of liberal
pensions to the soldiers and sailors of
the Union, and to their surviving de-
pendents as a sacred obligation due
from the entire people, and we insist
that in the allotment and distribution
of pension funds technical and burden
some restrictions should not be i'm
posed.
We condemn, in emphatic terms, the
course pursued by the present national
administration towards the people of
Hawaii in attempting to overthrow a
friendly government, reestablish a cor
rupt monarchy and force upon them a
barbarous queen.
We arraign the present Democra tic
governor of Illinois as a most con-
Sp1cuouS case of miSflt in official posi-
ton. From the day he began to debase
and turn reformatory, charitable insti-
tutions and public parks into inf1rm-
aries and asylums for politicians, he
has shown such wonderful aptitude for
doing the wrong thing at all times that
the people of the state, irrespective of
party, await with undisguised impa.
thence the expiration of his term of
Office.
This convention approves, with all
cordially, the answering fidelity of the
entire Republican delegation in Con-
gress from Illinois in the maintenance
of Republicanism in the House OF
Representatives, and it also returns
thanks to Senator Cullom for his able
patriotic and vigilant opposition to that
monstrosity of trust legislation, the
Senate tariff bill.
