THE Republicans Of the United
States, by their representatives in ma
tional convention, appealing for the
popular and historical justification of
their claims to the bitter fruits Of four
years of Democratic control, as we'll
as the matchless acnieN eanerts of tllfe'-
ty years of Republican rule, earnestly
and confidently address themselves to
the awakened intelligence, experience
and conscience of their countrymen in
| principles:
For the first time since the civil war
| the American people have now witness
ed the calaInitous consequences of full
and unrestricted Democratic control of
the government. 1t has been a. record
! of
UNPARALLELED INCAPACITY,
| dislnonor and disaster. In the admins

sacrificed Indispensable revenue, eked

with borrowed money, piled up the
public debt to 1882 900, 900 in a time of
peace, forced an adverse balance of

I'VE renew and emphasize our adhe.
sion to the policy of protection as the
bulwark of American independence
and the foundation cc American devel
opment and prosperity. This true
American policy taxes foreign pro-
ducts and encourages home industry; il
puts the burden OF revenue ON foreign
goods; it secures the American marl1ef
for the American producer; it upholds
the American standard of wages fol-
the American wor11ingTnan; it puts tht
FACTORY BY THE SIDE OF THE
FARM
and makes the American farmer les:

I'VE denounce the present Democrat

and destructive of business enterprise
