eX Jrcssion OF the patriotic prin-

aud condemn and denounce
any attempt To repeal or amend II. which

6.-Wc deuounce the unjust and inequit-
HDst thflA ihtdsuEt, kloNi Us INC w iiSoh
bill, the Senate substitutes therefor
and amendments proposed thereto
as unratriotic, favorable 10 trusts,
and ctional IN their provisions and as
subyersvc OF the prosperity and happi-
ness OF the people OF the United States.
The change fro1: specific to ad valorem
duties would promote under
valuation, fraudulent invoices and
increa importations with a loss OF
revenue TO the Government OF many mill

national grange, THAT all tariff laws shall
protect the products OF the farm as well
rs that of the factory"

iusbandry as VIII secure fair prices for
wool
TO- We denounce the treatment of
smpI lean farmers and workingmen by
the Democratic committee OF the Senate.

cratic administration. Its Hawaiian policy
ha: been a national disgrace.

th' present pension bureau ne deliberate
betrayal OF the welfare of Union soldiers

legisl~ Ipn as wilt prevent the immigration
OF the N;c.ous and criminal classes OF
lahorors under contract; OF paupers and

VIII as gold is one OF the great products
OF the United. States. It's coinage and
u.e ns a circulating medium should
be steadily maintained and constantly
couraged by the national government; ;

discriminating legislation, or otherwise,
most speedily restore TO silver its rigntful
place as q money metal.
10. Wedenoupce the avowed purpose of
the Democratic leaders to restore the era
nf "Wild cat" and "Red dog" money by
repeating the prohibitory 10 per cent. tax
ON State bank issues. All money OF what
ever kind should be under national and
not State control.
