the welfare of our people. our exports
largely exceed our imports. The gold of
the world comes steadily to our shores,
and with continuance of republican pol

Black 1t has been wise, statesmanrke
careful and economical and has resulted
in the lowest legitimate tax rate which
the state has had since 1886.
State taxation of the liquor traffic has
steadily grown in popular favor There
have been collected under this law during
its brief period of existence more than
S33, coo, 600 which have been applied to the
reduction of State and local taxation and
have thus relieved the earnings and the
savings of all the people of the State.
New York Is the foremost State in the
Union in caring for the interests of labor.
Almost every law that has been declared.
upheld and proved the rights of labor, has
beer passed by the republican party. The
| republican Legislatures of 1897 and 1888
were occupied largely with such legisa

| The republican party of New York has
| always been the party of honest and
economical administration. We pledge the
candidates this day nominated to a rCso-
lutc and thorough continuance of the in
