The Republicans Of the United States as
sembled by their representatives in National
Convention, appealing for the popular and
historical justification of their claims
to the matchless achievements of thirty
and confidently address themselves to the
awakened intelligence, experience and con-
science of their countrymen in the following
declaration Of facts and principles
For the first time since the Civil War the
American people have now witnessed the
calamitous consequences Of full and unres

the policy of protection as the bulwark OF
American industrial independence and the
foundation Of American development and
prosperity. This true American policy
taxes foreign products and encourages home

for the American producers; it upholds the
American standard of wages for the American
workingman; it puts the factory by the side
! OF the farm and makes the American farmer
