dicates, and reversed all the measures
and results of successful republican
rule. In the broad effect of its policy
it has p~recipitated panic, blighted in
dustry and trade with prolonged de-
preston, closed factories reduced work
and wages, halted enterprise and Grip
pied American production while stimu-
ating foreign 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
themselves incapable to conduct it
without disaster at home and dishonor
broad, and shall be restored to the
party winch for ~ years administered

ty. And in This connection we heartily
endorse the wisdom, patriotism n the
success of the administration of presi-
dent Harrison.
THE TARIFF.

ance to the policy OF protection as the

American development and prosperity.

we denounce the present democratic

table tarlf on foreign imports which
come into competition with American
products as VIII o only furnish ade-

RECIPROCITY.

Ohelr renewaI and extension on such
terms as will equalize our trade with
ooher nations, remove the restrictions

can products in the ports Of other
countries and secure enlarged markets
for the products of our farms, forests
and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures OF republican policy, and 20
hand in hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-established. Protection for
what we produce; free admission for
the necessaries of life which we do not
produce; reciprocity agreements of
mutual interest which gain open mar
kets in return for our open markets to
others. Protection builds I'D domestic
industry and trade, and secures orr
own market for ourselves; reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.
SUGAR.
We condemn the present administra-
tion for not keeping faith with the
sugar producers of this country. The
republican party favors such protec.
lion as will lead to the production IN
american soil OF all the sugar which
'he american people use, and for
