THE representatives of the Repuilieer

midst of our desolated and deser ed mining
camps. condemn the Democra ic Admins
ration that through vicious and unwise
LEGISLATION, have wrought sucn general and
wide. spread ruin throughout our fair ant
favored land.
WE rejoice that one of the cardinal doc
trines of the Republican party els the great
est good to the greatest number" Therefore
we advocate and demand the immediate re
storation Of the free and unlimited colnngi
of silver at the ratio of IS to |, without dis
termination against either metal. and with
out waiting foI the cooperation of any 9th
er nation or nations.
WE hail " it'll satisfaction the
ing bimetalllc sentiment that has been cree
ated throughout the entire world by the
eloquent II u1answeruble logic OF Tho
great Republican senators in the sennte o
the Unites States during the past year.
WE condemn the actions of Grover Cleve

ST. ties, in calling an extra session Of Con
grpss for the express purp SC of de troyingth'

hold the ID mocratic party alone respon
sible for the present depl orable condition o
the silve industry.
WE most heartily indorse the great rrin
ciplt of the An erican protective tariff sys
TEN as embod ed in every platform OF tn
National Republican party since 1856. In thu
language of the mart, red Lincoln labor /
capital and is entitled t" the fullest pro
lection. ! rote ction to home industries ha
been the leading doctrine OF the Hcpublical
party and of the country; under its being
influence we have experienced n degree q
d prosperity unparalleled in the history OF an,
Nation. 1t has been the glory and salvation
of the Nation. Siali we go on gathering tn
grand results of prot ction, or shall we con
tina e the present depressing and destructiv
experiment of a tariff for %reyenu"," an
repeat the disaster and distress OF 1887 an,
1857.
WE deplore the effect of the present Demo
cratic and Populi,tic pop gun" tn'iff bill
of the $50 congress upon the wool industr
of New Mexico, an in instry that under Re
publican tariff avs had become our larges
and most rcmunerative. We look upon til
act of congress, with the approval and con
sent of Antonio Joseph, placing wool upo'
the free list, as a base l~etrayal of and
crime against the people of New Mexico, an
we demard its full restoration and protec
ton rs a product of our pcople.
WE protest painst the extravagant an
non-American conduct of the present Nh
tional Democratic Administration, by an
through viii IN the dignity Of the high office q
president has been lowered, and IT'S authol
ity most wantonly exceeded; and we hereb
denounce the said administra' ion in issuin
interest bearing bonds in times of protoun
peace as unwise ,unjustifiable ami without
