V al A 1 value ochia of his service but in the midst t of the great masses of ins countrymen he the evil example of ia a too tod long continuance in power of a president in a single person was a change so great hat that even in the case of gen arant it t was not wise to make it this was the question settled by bv he tile chicago convention and ara should no more be in made ade a cause of

party on details men will W ill d differ ial er what now are the questions u upon a which clithe the contest this fall will tj turn shall our tariff lawa laws be framed with a view to tb protect labor as well ii ell as to levy taxes upon that question we are united I 1 and incontestably right it is to the fundamental national question of ahn time which will engross the attention of the next neit congress and betha be the private issue on which the presidential election will turn we as a party maintain that while the main object of taxes on imported goods is to furnish revenue for the support of the government yet Yett bat haf in levying them special care should be taken to foster build up and protect buch such or production as are suited to our ell cl matu and the habits 0 of pur people weavie with a view to secure to our own n artisans fair wages for for a good days labor laboi ar for our farmers a home horde market for their productions and to our country strength wealth and independence this is is the allos position of the ito republican p alican party upon it we invite a contest with our democratic friends when whenever yer if eyer ever they make up their minds mind libon upon the thi subject Ano another question is shall the sale of spirituous and malt liquors be frea in ohio or shall it pay for the maln main i cenance of our courts poor houses local police and for the foss loss it entail entails apoll the tile victims of diseased appetite upon wives and children mhd lid re publican lican Logi legislature slature has embodied publican its ts views of what ia is right and just in what is called the scott law wa we must stand pr fall by that law a upon the justice of the taxes it 1 imposes it declares that an annual tax of 00 oo shall be imposed upon pon a all 11 persons who shall sell bpi liquors in ohio ADO an 1100 on all who whoa sell malt liquors Is this a wi wise 19 ejust just measure I 1 believe it id at A tax on malt liquors now exists in nearly ever every state in the union and in ili some states at a rate higher than the rate proposed there is nol nota a coti country in euro europe e or in regions anywhere called ci civilized civili I 1 MI i ted e d where some form borm of taxation is not lot levied upon the tile sale of liquors republicans public ans favor th the eScott scott law they make it a part of their platform they mean to enforce it ithe they y afre re opposed to its repeal they invite the to meet us manfully on this lostie and take tile judgment of tile pc people ople upon it we jve nay may lose lost some yates but the tile republican party in all ita its brilliant history was never more clearly right than when it demanded of who sell liquors as a beverage to ia pay to the public a tax to meet the tile expenses caused by their trat traffic and being richt wa we are alre certain to win ivin if we have the courage to td fi fight lit and the wisdom to unite with afi those who agree with us is at the conclusion of the address the convention unanimously adopted resolutions in favor of protective tariff and state taxation of liquor traffic |
