The committee on resolutions made
the following report
/. RESOLVED, That after over two
years of national administration I'M
der the Democratic party with ma
jority in both houses of Congress; it
has demonstrated its utter incompe-
tency and inability TO cope with the
questions of policy presented; that it
has utterly failed to maintain the
dignity and respect of the national
flag at home and abroad; that through
its pernicious legislation in regard to
the tariff, the laboring men, and
manufacturing interests have suffer-
ed; and as a result the FORCES were
idle, the spindles stilled in our manu-
featuring centers and an army of I'M
employed created heretofore unknown
in this land.
2. ResOlved, That we renew our
faith and pledge our support to the
doctrine of protection, chief among
the canons of Republican faith.
3. ReSOlUed, That it is our firm
conviction that the chief duty of the
Republican party on its return to
power is to revise the tariff laws on
h, ,f 70 hn n
in the near future as it has been in
the past, with Republican rule the
balance of trade with foreign nations
be in our favor, and this being done,
that the chief cause of the pending
depression will be removed and pros
perity again assert its sway which
we affirm can only result from ade-
quate tariff laws on the lines of pro-
lection.
4. ReSOlUed, That we endose and
reaffirm the Republican national plat
form of 1892, and the Republican State
platform of 1894, and pledge ourselves
to the principles therein set forth.
5. RESOLVED, That we endorse the
of Gov. Morrill,.
