and borrowed money for ordinary expenses piling up the public debt in times of peace, They have forced an adverse baIance of trade and reversed all the measures and res ults ot successful Republican rule. 1 Resolved, That every consideration of public safety deman ds that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves incapable to conduct it, and shall be restored to the party which for thirty years administered 1t with unequalsd success. Resolved, That we believe the first and most ! important question before the people is the 1 tariff. We believe that the policy of protecting Amerieani"du is tho foundation aud bull | wark of American development and prosperity. We demand such an equitable tariff upon for eign imports which come into competition with American products as will not only furnish ad- eQuate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government but will protect American la- bor and products. We favor the restoration of 6 tariff on wool equal to that existing under the Mckinley bill.
 Resolved That Protection and Reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy. Dem. ocratic rule has struck down both, and both ! must be restored. Protection for what we pro- l duee--Free admission for Decessaries of life which we do not produce ! Reciprocity agree ! ments of mutual interests which gain open mar kets for us in return for opeu markets to others Protection builds up domestic industries and trade and secures our own markets for our selves. Reciprocity builds up our trade with foreign nations and finds an outlet for our sur plus.
 Resolved, That we endorse the National Re- publican platform, as enunciated at St Leuis hon hot are believers in bimetallism, we believe that the Republican party is the only true friend of silver, and will legislate in such manner as will be favorable to the coinage of silver with out disturbing the business interests of the country. We regard the silver plank in the Ma tionsl Democratic platform as simply subter. fuge invented to confuse the people and divert their attention from the true issue before them in this campaign, which is legislation upon the tariff question.
 Resolved, That we endorse the course of our Delegate to Congress, Hon N. O. Murphy, and we believe that the people of Arizona have been well and ably represented by him. His labors have always been in the interest of his constit- uents
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this Conven. ton that Arizona ought to be admitted to state. hood as we believe it would be of great benefit to our commonwealth, and we demand our ad- mission to the sisterhood of state in this Union without further equivCc"tion or delay.
 Resolved, That we favor legi station for the equitable adjustment and final settlement of the question of the boundary line between Apache and Graham counties, on basis which will be fair to this county ana its citizens.
 Resolved, That we favor needed legislation in support of the National Guard of Arizona, tending to better and more perfect organiza- ton of our citizen soldiery.
 Resolved, That we favor schools at the public charge, open to all children, and free from par tissn or sectarian central
 Resolved, That we favor the repeal of tue present law in regard to the inspection of sheep and the enactment of a law which will be ben- eft instead of enace to the sheep industry. Resolved, That we favor revision of that section of the election law regarding the mark ing of ballots which will be far and just to all of the citizens of this county, and instruct our candidates 10 the Legislature to worx for that result.
 We present the foregoing resolutions to the voters of Apache county, feeling confident that their consideration and the justice of our cause will bring success to the Republican party and prosperity to the people.
