Resolved, That, acting under the
necessity of the trade conditions of
our coast, we earnestly present to our
fellow Republicans of the east the fact
that great commercial possibilities are
within the grasp of the people of the
United States if we can but utilize the
markets of China and Japan, which
now open their doors to US, and which
we can fully control if placed in a
position 10 accept the only money
with which they have to purchase our
products.
This new condition strengthens our
demand for the resolution that the
United States, independent Of any
other nation on earth Immediately re-
instate silver TO all its rights, powers
and privileges as money at the ratio
of 16 TO l.
Tariff and Whereas,
The Republican party believes in pro
lection to American industry for the
sake of protection; and
Whereas, The history of our legis-
lation has been an unbroken effort to
build I'D the industrial life of America
against the pauper labor of the world;
therefore it is with pride and pleasure
that we herewith present to the people
of the state for their endorsement
that plank Of the Republican plat
form adopted May 16 1860, upon which
Abraham Lincoln was chosen the first
Republican president of the United
states.
Resolved. That while providing rev.
enue for the support of the general
government by duties upon imports,
sound policy requires such an adjust

the development of the
INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS
of the whole country; and we commend
that policy of national exchanges
which secures to the workingman lib

ative prices, to mechanics and manu-
facturers adequate reward for their
skill, labor and enterprise, and to the
nation commercial prosperity and in
dependence; and
Whereas, The Industrial life of Ida
no especially calls the application of
the principles herein enunciated;
therefore be IL
Resolved. That we favor such pro-
lection duties on lead and wool as
viii afford that protection to these in
dustries which were afforded un-
der the provisions of Republican legis-
lation: and
whereas, We herewith present the
first great utterance of the Republi-
can party under which Abraham Lin
coin was elected, we also present for
the endorsement of our state the last
great utterance of our party as it
found expression through the genius
of James G. Rlaine-the principle Of
reciprocity, under which the markets
Of the world shall be opened to our
surplus products and our own doors
be opened to the reception of the
NECESSITIES OF LIFE
which we do not produce, and which
have given to the poor thernecessaries
of the table free Of duty, while at the
same time giving US an abundant rev.
enue.
Resolved, That we hereby instruct
