ing:
The representatives of the republican
nartv of Utah, assembled in state con
vention to name delegates to the rePuo-
Ucan national convention which is to
nominate candidates for president and
vice-president of the United States,
hereby renewstheir fealty to the Prihci-
pies on which the republican party was
first launched and upon which all It's
honors have been won.
We believe in protective tariff; we
believe in reciprocity; we believe In ol-
metallism, which is the full recogni-
ton alike ofsgold and silver and their
free coinage in the minis of the nation
the ratio of 10 to 1.
1--WE contemplate with sorrow and
ame the spectacle which our country
ents today because of the attempt
ubstitute for a protective tariff
for revenue and because of the
ruction of silver as money of final
emption.
Ee hold that a policy which has filed
land with idle men, which takes
m labor its honest reward, which
|ubles the burden of debt, which, amid
nntiful harvests, in time of profound
FACE. makes necessary the issuing of
,ndreds of million dollars worth of
erest-bearing bonds in order to meet
current expenses of the government
n impeachment of both the intelli-
e and integrity of those who con-
bur government
hold that a tariff for revenue has
to restore prosperity, so protec-
tariff, as long as the money of the
ntry is held, ounce for ounce, 100 per
higher than the money of the ORR
mad of Spanish is imPo-
fent f6~saye our farmers and manufac-
turers against competition which they
are helpless to meet, and we rePudiate
the belief that protection without BIZ
metalism can restore prosperity. The
Situation makes clear that bi-metalism
and protection must be accepted as con-
stituting one vital, indivisible principle,
that not only the progress but the safe.
tv of the Industries of our country and
the toilers who carry on those industries,
make the acceptance of this principle
imperative- protection by a tariff to
eoualize the wages of our country and
those paid abroad, and bimetalisHi to
take from gold It's present appreciation,
and to equalize the money of this
country and that of the silver standard
nations.
We cordially endorse the stand taken
in the national legislature by western
senators and representatives in behalf
of holding bimetalism and protection
as one.
We ask our delegates to St. Louis to
do their utmost to secure in the national
republican platform full acknowledge
ment of an imperative need OF return
to real bimetalisn and promise of its
adoption without regard to other nations,
by opening our minis to the free coinage
of gold and silver at ratio of 10 to 1.
