We renew and emphasize f,,r allegiance a
tne policy Of protection as the huivark d
american industrial Independence and the
tounaation OF American development and PROS
perlty. This true American policy taxes for.

opposed TO foreign control and domestic mo-.

We denounce the present Democratic tariff
IS sectional Injurious 70 the public credit and
destructive 70 business enterprise. We de-
mand such Nm equitable tariff on foreign i'm
ports which come into competition with Amer
iean products as will not only fur
