country st its close; that from its
abundant revenues paid off large

1.-The American people hold t. e
financial honor of our government ss
sacred as our flag, and can be relied
upon to guard it with the same sleep
less vigilance. They hold its preser-
vation above party fealty, and Lave
often demonstrated that party ties
avail nothing when the spotless credit
of our country Ia threatened.

ductive capacity, our business and
commercial prosperity, our labor and
its rewards, our national credit ana
currency, our proud financial honor,
snd our free citizenship, the birthright

the pending campaign. Thus every
home in the land is directly and
intim asely connected with their proper
settlement.

back and our idle working people
must be employed in gainful occupa-

market must be restored to Its proud
rank of the fret In the world, and our
foreign trade, so precipitately cut off
by adverse national legislation, opened
on fair and equitable terms for our
agricultural and manufacturing pro-

restored, and the skill and energy

employment at home.

meet both its current expenses and in
creasipg needs. Its revenues should
be so raised as to protect the material
interests of our people, with the light
est possible drain upon their resources,
and main tanning that high standard OF
civilization which has distinguished
our country for more than a century OF
its existence.
The national credit, which has
thus far fortunately resisted every as

for borrowing"
