REVOLUTIONS.
We, the delegates of the Republican

sembled, congratulate the people OF the
country upon the election OF q Republican
Congress at the last fall election, that will
stand o. solid wall against further attacks
of Democracy on the honor, integrity and
business prosperity of the country, presag-
ing, 90 il does, victory for the Republi-
can cause in 1893, and declare as follows:
First. We renew our allegiance TO the
principles by the National Convention in
1892, chief among which are; Honest
money, consisting Of gold. silver and pa
per, each interchangeable into the other
ct the will Of the holder, whether IL be In
Maine or Californis, Florida or Dakota,
every dollar at par, and all sustained by
the national faith and honor. A protec-
tive tariff under which the country has
always had prosperity for the whole Poo
ple, developing the resorces Of the country,
giving employment TO American labor st
American wages, furnishing home
market for the greater part Of the products
Of the country, thereby saving the expense
and trouble Of placing our products on the
dslusive, though much vaunted Democra-
tic markets Of the world" while provid.
ing, not only enough revenns to meet the
expenses of the government, but TO enable
us 70 pay on and retire the national debt
In q manner not done by other nations,
Reciprocity which, while seeking and
gaining Q market for our surplus products
on favorable terms with friendly nations,
shuts out the competition ofunfrisndly o1es,
does not lower or destroy American wages
nor surrender our cwn markets to the
competition Of products We can raise a'
homo.
Second. We denounce the present
Democratic administration for its un'
American, unpatriotic, vicious, vacilat-
ing course, which has brought Us distresi
NJ home and humiliation abroad. 1t hal
