| q We denounce the present Democratic ad-
| ministration, whose vicious and vacillatinp
| course has brought US distress at home and
| humiliation abroad. IL has inaugurated a
| policy looking toward ultimate free trade,
which has deranged business, crippled our in
dustries, distressed our homes and dealt labor
serious blow. With deplorable incompetency
| IL has failed To realize revenue enough to run
the government and has had TO borrow in les
than two years slo2, 10000 mainly to pay ordi-
nary running expenses, selling in secret TO
fsvorite foreign syndicates the bonds OF the
government at prices far below their actual
value. IL has lowered the flag in Hawaii In an
un-American attempt 10 overthrow a republic
and restore a monarchy, and with unpatriotic
indifference has suffered British troops TO land
In Nicaragua in contemptuous disregard Of
the Monroe doctrine. BY these and similar
acts, our country, second in power and dignity
TO none has suffered "a loss Of respect through
out the world. We denounce tho free wool
provision OF the present tariff act as an unjust
discrimination against an important industry,
and demand such protection for sheep hus
bandry as will securesSair prices for American
wool. We denounce the present administra-
tion Of the pension bureau for the betrayal of
the interest Of the Union soldiers, and we
pledge anew 20 the veterans Of the republic a
watchful care and recognition Of their Just
claims upon grateful people, and we endorse
the able, honorable and businesslke admins
tration of Governor William Mckinley.
