manent non-partisan tariff commits
sion with ample powers and charged
with the duty Of investigating the cost
Of production, both 1T home and
abroad, and whose findings shall be
made direct to congress.
We condemn the national democratic
administration for its bad faith in the
enactment Of the present tariff law.
It has succeeded only in flooding our
home markets with foreign importa-
tions from both factory and farm,
while the serious question Of the grow
ing high cost Of living still prevails,
unsettled and unanswered.

legislation q will develop = modern
system Of farm credits.

democratic congress for it's wasteful
sxtravagance of public funds.

tests Of democratic misrule upon the
iadustries Of this nation have con-
viaeed our people Of the folly Of party
division, and that al electors who have
In the past affiliated with the party,
sf whatever faction should now unite
in determination 10 relieve the coun-
try from democratic misgovernment
and restore such republican rule a
VII promote and advance tAs economie
prosperity Of the country.
We recommend and urge that The
approximation BY delegates 1t the
naxt national republican convention
shall be based upon the republican
vote east in each Of the several states
- shown by the official returnl
therein, 1t the lasa state election held
prior TO the holliny Of the national
