S1 OD A YEAR
YI'VO IN ADVANCE

the destinies Of our country, and
we renew our allegiance to the
great Republican party--the party
of liberty, of Justice and progress,
and of those sound and wise
business principles the adoption
and application of which as
governmental policies has ever
been attended with general finan-
cial prosperity to the people of
this land.
Resolved, That we stand by the
principles of protection OF Ameri-
can products and the preservation
of home market for these pro-
ducts against the competition of
foreign products OF cheap labor,
policy again and again proven by
experience to be conducive to the
general welfare, especially of the
laboring classes, and under which,
as exemplified in the present
DINGHY tariff, the farmers for the
last nine years have enjoyed
season of unparalleled prosperity,
period which has seen the farm
lands of Missouri nearly double
/ in value, and which now marks a
continued, steady and healthy
advance in such values.
Resolved, That we invite all
who are in favor of the main
tenance of these conditions to CO.
operate with us in the coming
campaign and to vote with US in
sustaining the present high tide
of business prosperity by keeping
in power the Republican party
through whose administration the
existing satisfactory conditions
have been made possible.
Resolved, That we most heartily
endorse the record of Missouri
Republican State officers and
commend the patriotic wisdom of
that Republican convention in the
selection of first class men for the
party's candidates, men whose
election and record in office has
. distinctly strengthened the Re-
publican party sSta the state.
Among the many gosd things
done. We find that John Z.
Mckinley enforced the law by
whipping out the lobby. John
E. Swanger has called to account
the swindling bank concerns over
the state that have been running
wild for years under Democratic
rule. Herbert S. Hadley has
called to account the action of the
greatest trust on earth. That
Jacob Gemelich has safely
guarded the treasury by refusing
to pay out state funds without an
appropriation being made. That
William w. Wilder has instituted
a new system of bookkeeping,
the open method, by which any
citizen of the state might know
how they are kept by asking to
see them.
We endorse every effort made
and accomplished by Missouri's
Republican mem bers of the Senate
and House of Congress. They
are ever watchful for the interest
of Missouri and her citizens in all
affairs coming before Congress.
Resolved, That we counsel
harmony in the ranks of the Re-
publidan party of Montgomery
county, bearing in mind that the
emolument of Office is but an
incident and not the object of
party organization, and that those
who seek nominations to office
must in honor be bound to the
chance of defeat, and to accept
defeat in good faith and with un-
affected loyalty to the party
organization.
Dicipline is essential to success
in politics as in war, and by dioip-
line the Republicans of Montgom-
cry county have reached an as
tendency that can be maintained
by dicipline and not otherwise.
