In the hcur Of its stress the country again

ssThird-We reafirm the doctrine OF
protection. not protection IN spots. but
that just and equitable protection which
has for its object the preservation Of the
American market for American capital
and American labor. working hand IN
hand, without being forced TO meet on
eqa1l terms the unequal com petition from
abroad. or the more Dlighting. selfish and
cruel agitation and threat Of free trade

nue. taxes should be SO levied as to clearly
maks this discrimination In favor of our

and dangerous trusts and conbin atoms.

uie shall require reformation the friends,
aud not the enemies, Of protection should
reform IL.

ley Law by the present congress was

OFF foreign trade, which so quickly re-
sponded 10 the influence Of this wise and
beneiicent Republican measure.

"Seyenth--We insist upon the most rigid
economy In the administration OF the gov
eminent in all its branches.
s'Eighth-We recognize the rights Of
labor and capital aud believe their true In
terests are identical, and We drprecato all
agitation that has any tendency TO array
