E..l.
The histor, OF the past two years showing
record OF financial disasters and business de.
prcsslons almost without u parallel In the ex-
pcricnce OF our country. has demonstrated be-
yond the need OF any argument the utter In
competency Of the democratic party TO admin
lister the affairs OF this nation. We denounco
and condemn the wicked tarin tinkerings which
have lost Us the advantages which wise re-
publican policy hid gained for us In the mar
kcts Of the world, AMI which demoralized our
manufacturing aud robbed our aborers OF mil
lions Of dollars. thereby restricting the markets
Of our farmers AMI directly depressing the
prices OF farm products. We condemn the We
and vacillati1g foreign policy which has dis
credited Us In the eyes OF other nations has
sacrificed our domestic interests and has
wounded our national pride. We condemn the
ungencrous. unjust AMI hostile treatment OF
the veteran dcfen lers OF the uli IN. And above
all we condemn the vicious and IN american
financial p,licY which IL In direct opposition
to the deliberate Judgment Of the Amer can
people. and which has brought upon US tndi-
viduai distress and national disaster
II Is not the province OF this league 10 formu-
late platforms or outline policies. and We do
not claim any authority to speak for the repub-
LEANS OF Kansas: but. as members OF the rank
and Alc Of the party. we do not hesitate to an

Of the republican party to power Will bring
with II u return to u tariff policy which will
bring back the commercial prosperity which
the wise measure Of the Fifty-irst congress
inaugurated: that It will bring return to
IL patriotic and vigorous foreign policy
which will again make our nag be admired
and respected In every port on the globe; that
II will guarantee In the future. as IL always
has In the past. the mo. t amp'e justice to the
brave men who offered their lives that the
union might be preserved. and that II VIII
bring back monetary policy and coinage
system which will immediately add TO our cur
rcncy the product OF our American Wines. and
restore silver TO it, old place as OF the money
metals. thus placing the finances OF our coun-
try upon bI'is which will bring confidence
and prosperity to all our people.
We condemn In the most unsparing terms
the recent orders of ecTetary Morton to throw
open the American mir get TO the diseased ana
inferior cattle Of Mexl:o. thus placing In
jeopardy the vital interests Of the American
farmer.
We extend our wa-mest greetings to the
Kansas woman's republican association now

press our sIncereap ireci .,on Of their enthusi-
astic and Jealous assistance In carrying for
