In the following declaration OF faith and prin-
ciples:
For the first time since the civil war the
American PEOPLE have witnessed the calami-
tous consequences OF full and unrestricted
democratic control OF the government II has
been a record OF unparalleled incapacity dis
honor and disaster. in administrative man.

sable revenue, entailcd an unceasing deficit

rowed money. piled up the public debt by

balance OF trade. kept perpetual menace

versed all the measures and results OF sue
cessful republican rule In the broad ef-
rect OF It's policy IL has precipita-
ted panic blighted industry and trade
with prolonged depression, closed factosies
reduced work and wares, halted enterprise
and crippled American production for the
American market Every consideration OF
public safety and individual interest demands
that the government shall be rescued from
the hands OF those who have shown them
selves inc apable OF conducting IL without dis
astcr at home and dishonor abroad. and shall
be restored TO the party which for 30 years ad-
ministercd IL with unparalleled success and
prosperity. And in this connection we heart
lily indorse the wisdom. the patriotism and
the success OF tho administration OF President
Harrison.
We renew and emphasize our allegiance tn
