DEMOCRATIC THREATs AND EFFORTS.
The threats and efforts which the
Democratic party, now in control of
the executive and Legislative depart

are making to destroy the system of

have wrecked onr manufacturing es
Establishments, destroyed the value of
our farm products, ruined our en-

DEMOCRATIC ASSAULT.
We denouuos this Democratic as
sault upon the American protective
system because its effect already has
been to reduce to iileness two mil
lions of workmen, and values to an
amount greater than the national
debt created for the suppression of
The rebellion; because it enlarges the
free list only upon products which
employ the greatest number of Amer
ican workmeD; because it strikes with
equal cruelty the farmer, the miner,
the iUmberman, the iron, the glass
and textile worker; because it trans
fers work from our own mills, mines
and workshops to foreign countries;
because it IS sectional and aimed di-
rectly at Northern Industries, and
fosters the plantation system and
destroys the farm; because il is vic
ious in its changes from specific 10
ad UaLOrem duties, in its reduction of
the revenues of Government by many
millions of dollars. and it resorts to
war taxes and increased internal and

ond Of all Legislative tradition, de-
MED them hemlng, when they de-

We denounce the selection Of a
Southern democrat for the Secretary

betrayal OF the welfare of our sol

needless prosecutions. suspicious and
privations to which they have been
subjected under that hostile admin
CLEvELAND's FoAEGGN POLICY ANNoUCED.
We denounce the unpatriotic and
un American management Of our
foreign relations by the Democratic
National administration, which sur
renders American treaty rights and
vital interests in Samoa and which
has unjustifabIy planned and labor
ed to uphold and destroy an odious

public in conflict with that principle
of self government upon which our

persons incapable, either physically
or mentally of self support.
ANARCHISTS.

that liberty of law upon which it is
