An Appeal OF The Home.

To American Women:
The Woman's Republican Associa-
ton sends its New Years Greeting
We have often appealed TO yOu to give
your influence aud effort for the main
tenance of the principles of the Repub-
lican Party. Many of you have nobly
responded, and the good results OF
your efforts appear in various states
and local communities.
one year ago last November, the
voters Of the nation thought they
wanted change in its industrial poll
cy; the change has come.
The present Administration at
Washington came into POWER amid
conditions Of prosperity which even
this favored nation had never known.
Heaven had furnished the bass Of
prosperity: Fertile soil, genial sun
shine, growing rains, immense nat
Ural resources, answered Mans honest
toll, and brought returns in bOuntIful
harvests, and abundant raw material
for manufacturing interests. Mills
and factories We're in full operation;
the ham of machinery, the ring Of the
bell and the shrek of the engine were
the music Of industrial prosperity.
This prosperity was secured and as
sured through the American System of
a Protective Tariff.
The Democratic Party, the advocate
Of Free Trade, assumed control Of the
Government under contract to repeal
this Tariff which it declared unconsti-
tutional
Uncertainty as to what the Demo
cratic majority in Congress VIII do,
and The fear that it viii enact Free
Trade, have unsettled the commercial
world and brought panic Of dstrust
to finance and trade,
Mills and factories are closed, and
idle workmcn and work women walk
the streets in vain seeking opportuni-
ty l. earn an honest Lying. Soup
houses and clothing dispcnsaries now
take the place Of pay day comforts
and Injuries. Nor is there prospect
Of better times, unless the people of
the whole country make themselves
felt at Washington.
There is now pcndng before Con
grcss, a measure Known as the " ilson
Bill. 1t embodies IN substance the de
lusive theories of Tariff Reform. 1t is
now supported by the Administration
and majority Of the Members of Con
gress. If it becomes a law, many in
dustries viii be unable to compete
with the pauper labor of the old world,
and Will be permanently closed. Others
VIII compete, but labor will be the los
er. Wages VIII be cut down to the for
eign level, in order that the American
manufacturer may compete with the |
importer of foreign wares.
More than three millions Of work
men are-bCcause of these conditions
actual and prospective-out of work to
day, Add to this number the depend
ent women and children, and then
count the furnishing host.
Can nothing be done?-Yes. DE |
FEAT THE WILSON BILL.
Let every woman Who suffers or who
cares for those who suffer. write-at
once a letter or postal card to her
member Of Congress and to both Sena
tors from her State, asking these rep
rcscntatiyeS of the people to vote
against the Wilson Bill Many of
these men, perhaps all, desire to serve
their constituents, women as well as
men.
Let them not be ignorant of what
the people want DO this, women,
and do it Immediately Your personal
request may be the one to turn the tide
against this un American Measure
DO this for the Home and the Flag
Please write us here what you have
done Yours sincerely,
Mrs. J. ELLEN FOSTER, Pres
MRs. THuS W CHACE, Sec
