Itcnow your Uepubllean ralth l.y n enroful reading of the fol lowing clear cut statements: Tho Republican party Is now, and alwa.Mi has been tho coiiDistent and 3tc:.dfiist ndvecato of Protection to American labor and tho promotion of American Industry. We hold that tho Ilrst duty of good government Is to protect the rights and promote the interests of Us own people. We be'Iovo that all articles which can not bo produced In our country, except luxurlcu should bo admitted free of duty, and that on nil Imports coming Into competition with American Ameri-can labor, there should bo levied a duty equal to tho difference between tho cost of production nt home nnd abroad . . Wo bilievo thiit tho pioduetu of the farm and that or tho mine should ro-eolvo ro-eolvo 'tlie camo mcuouro of Protection Protec-tion a-, the products of the factory. Wo Ik it that this la tho truo American Am-erican policy; that It taxcu foreign products and encou igea homo Industry; Indus-try; that It puts tho burden of rev cnuo on tlio fori 'gn producer IliTo at tho Eame time, It makes secure tho American market for tho American producr; that it upholds tho utaudard of wages for the American working n man . H As a result of 50 years ot Prolcc-' tlon tho American market Is tho rich-' est and best on earth, and wo be-Hove be-Hove In religiously preserving thnt market for the American producer. For that reason we must vigorously protest against the Underwood bill I passed by tho present Democratic Congress. Huckvlllo (Md.) Republican Republi-can . |
