domestic interests. The adversely fnd
distress of recent times forces every
citizen Into the breach. The agitation
of the hour coerces us lntn a defense
of the institutions OF our government
and country. We want to protect and
save America for Americans; to give
uniformity and stability to our bust

possessions, our products and our toll
for the highest possible price and ret
for them a money worth its face value
either here or elsewhere We must
sustain such laws as will repel the In

the barriers on our shores to prevent

from coming in direct and equal COM

We must enact such laws as will

eliminate the necessity of placing bond

than be the prey of foreign syndlcates,
who practice their. financial legerde-

expense of millions of dollars of hard

must cultivate and renew reciprocal
relations with foreign nations that we
may erect an interchange of COM

produce and must consume, and In re-

listless products at good prices with
the further effect of maintaining and
increasing our merchant marine to the
end that our flag may float at our

seem national In their character, yet
each state and each individual gets
reflected benefit from them If in
augurated. AS Republicans 1t Is our
duty to our national party TO lend IL

national representatives as possible.
As to our state, there Is no manner
of doubt but that period of Repub-
lican domination and control you'd be
OF untlld benefit to 1t. In the further
ance of n hope in that direction we
must arrange to thoroughly mobolize
our forces and that can only be done
through the medium of organization;
and now, as chairman of the Republic
can executive committee of Texas, l
appeal to every Republican In the
state to assist in this work. No man
is exempt from u well defined duty
in that particular. Go TO the chairman
of the county executive committee Of
the county in which you live and tender
your services TO him. He Is now In
possession of a plan of action that
will bring the desired results. and in
that way we viii be ready for the
conflict OF 1896. Respectfully,
JOHN GRANT,
Chairman State Republican Executive
Committee.
