The Republicans of the First Congressional District of Minnesota, through their delegates In convention assembled do hereby adopt and enunciate the following declaration of ciples. Resolved, That we proclaim anew pur yielding adherence to the grand principles ot the National Republican party which for most a quarter of a century safely guided the country through the perils of civil war, tentions of party strife, and snares and falls of alternate financial prosperity and pression, so that under Its masterly and riotic leadership, the name of the republic became illustrious throughout the world, a synonym of strength, truth and freedom of its citizens all over the wide domain. Resolved, That while we are Justly proud of the past record, of the unexampled cal achievements and grandeur we depend not on this alone to animate us In the future, but confidently and with sincerity, turn our thoughts and attention to new problems of civil government in the just and equitable solution ot which the humblest citizen is terested as he whose fortune places him above the contingencies of a doubtful or too partial code of legislative enactment. Resolved, That the result of the recent natioxal Republican convention, the.declara­ tion of principles there emanciated by sentatives of the party, meets with our hearty approbation, and we do hereby most solemnly pledge the candidates there placed in tion for the offices of president and dent our earnest-minded and enthusiastic support. Resolved, That ogrlculture being the dation of our prosperity as a district, it should receive the first if not the highest considera.

tion of those entrusted with framing and pas sing laws affecting its welfare that, fore we approve the law enacted by our last legislature and commend the course by those entrusted with its execution, securing by a more just rate of transportation on all products of the soil and implements required in its cultivation, and we do most heartily commend that the entire system of state and national control over the railroads and their appurtenances be also amended, perfected and extended Irom time to time in ance with the dictates of experience, as to eonduce to the highest attainable welfare of the people. Resolved, That labor is the true busis and developer of national wealth that humanity has a claim upon our regard infinitely perior to that of capital and that the toilers of America and their families being the very bed rock on which rests the superstructure of the nation's virtue, intelligence and freedom, are entitled to a claim on the sympathetic consideration and co-operation ot every partment of our government. Entertaining this conviction we insist that in the ment of all whether by Congress or State legislature, due regard be bad for the rights of all who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow that taxation, both local and general, be restricted to the lowest amount required by an economical tration of public affairs that wage earners should be protected by legislation from the oppressive power of monopolies and tions in whatever form it may find exercise that the importation of foreign laborers der contract, creating a system of peonage at variance with the true genius of our tions, be prohibited by an act of congress and that generally existing laws not in harmony with an equal measure ot justice and Drotection alike to the employee and employer be promptly repealed. Resolved, That in the imposition of duties on imports, we demand such revision of the present tariff laws as will correct all incauali ties therein and make return to the tax ers to the fullest extent without injury to the cause of American labor or menacing the prosperity of the country, and we would pectfully invite the attention of the voter to the fact that all revision of our tariff tion of the war period has been effected by the Republican party and we declare our plicit confidence in its ability and sincere pose to effect in the future such reduction of internal revenue and readjusting of our tariff laws as will be most eonductive to the fare of the varied interests of the American people. Resolved, That we heartily approve of the system by the Republican party in providing for the defenders of our country and the payment of liberal pensions, and we declare in favor of a policy for protectlng'and giving fostering care to those soldiers, their widows and orphans that we denounce as just and iniquitous the course pursued by the president of indiscriminately vetoing private pension bills calculated to relieve the wants and sufferings of those who are justly titled to the same.

Resolved, That we condemn the action of our present representative in Congress in uniting with the Southern brigadiers in their opposition to and final defeat of the bill ed by the Senate to refund to the several States of the Union the amount of the direct war tax to which they are justly entitled, thus denying the 'people of our State their just due to the extent of Resolved, That we pledge to the nominee of the convention our earnest, united and most loyal support, and we invite the co-operation of all patriotic citizens and especially all working men, whose prosperity is seriously tnreatened by the free trade policy of the present administration. BUSINESS ANNOUNCEMENT. The Firm of Bosses Again on Deck at the Old Stand. St. Paul Dispatch: We desire'to call the attention of all persons who uesire nominations for state or county offices in this state under the so-called democratic standard that, though we have, during the past few weeks, been slightly rassed, we have been doing more or less business in a quiet way, and are now pared to fill all orders placedtn our hands at the old stand.

Don't forget the ber. "Ms MIKE." P. few federal offices outside of Hennepin and Ramsey counties still disposed of. Exchange: Representative O'Donnell, of Michigan, in a tariff speech he deliver" ed in the House a few days ago. got off a very tjopd thing that has hardly been ticed in the newspapeis.

4 said he in closing his speech, "had it not been for this tariff the prices of every thing, including the red na. would be much higher than now. as they were before our industries felt its stimulating effect on production and competion. Speaking of the red na, the alleged orifliunme of victory for the administration, let me call your at tention to pr ophecv which shall see fillment. If you will open your bible, as you should, you will find in Ezekiel, xiii.

21: 'Your kerchief also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your As you study these prophetic words, rei call to your mind that the earth and the fullness thereof was promised to the sed of Jacob, and then remember that two of Jacob's sons were Benjamin and Levi." The point was vigorously applauded by the Republicans who heard it. INCONSISTENCY OF FREE TRADE ATTOKNKYS. The free trade attorneys have several strings to their eolian harp, each set to a different tune, according to the presumed necessities of the situation. The voter's ear will be tickled with his favorite strain and the music timed to his crudest step, always provided that his toes point toward the free trade camD. The farmer is told that he, of all men, should stand for free trade that tion but adds to the price of what he buys, and that his trouble with the price of what he has to sell comes from the fact that his niarket is not far enough from home.

The mechanic is treated to the song of cheaper food and raiment when free trade comes. The laborer, after a few solemn strains over the hardness of his lot, is incited with martial notes to tumble down the wall of protection to home industries and enter upon the sings which free trade has in store for its advocates. But the manufacturer is likely to tect some discord in songs which promise higher wages for laborer and lower prices for products. Another string is touched, and there comes to him the grand ise of the world's markets. He is told that goods which Americans are unable to buy will find ready purchasers beyond the seas, and that on the pinions of free trade increased wealth will be borne back to him, if he will but join in the worship of the image that the Cobden Club has set up.

Who is so blind as not to see tency in this? The farmer's profit is now diminished by expense of transportation to centres of consumption, and many are barred the production of certain profitable crops by remoteness from markets. His ous interest is to have markets nearer tothe farm, and when possible sell in his own county rather than in Europe. He should remember that every man kept at work and earning wages in some other occupation than farming lessens compe-' tition in growing farm products, while'' increasing demand and prices for thp same. The mechanic's interest lies in having every dollar of wealth produced in this country kept at home and.spent in ing better bouses, more machinery, finer short, adding to the ties of production and the ability of our, people to purchase the products of chanical industry. Let him reflect upon the disadvatage at which he would be placed if compelled to depend for wages upon some calling in which he is not skilled.

In his owh trade he is an expert at any other work he would be a The laborer, dependent upon others for his means of support, is the first to feel the pinch of dull times. WheA building factories, making railroads, im? proving streets, ceases, he is the first thrown out of work, and the least able of all to endure enforced idleness. As his department of labor is one quiring strength rather than skill, it ik the most of all exposed to competition. And the manufacturer, how is he lb get the promised hold upon the markets of the world? These are already pied by the manufacturer of other tions otherwise they would not be so persistent to get into the markets of this country. How are they to be displaced? Obviously in but one of two ways: The" American manufacturer, to secure ets now monopolized by Europeans must either supply better goods at the prices now paid, or he must supply good arti cles for less money.

It he makes the rifice, the cheapening process must falls either upon the material used or the labojL put upon the finished product. 't In face of the fact that $250,000,000 were last year paid to foreigners for ducts which coiild as well haye manufactured in this country, the of further concessions in behalf of fi foreign trade must be apparent tQ all cept those who will not see. if CATARRH CURED health and sweet breath secured, by Shlloh's Catarrh GO cents!

17, 1888. Sherman touched the ministration in a sore spot when he -introduced his resolution calling the Secretary of the Treasury for statement showing the amount of Government money on deposit in National banks on the 1st or August 1888, and the amount and tion of United States bonds and er securities pledged for the ment of such deposits. The tion was passed. It has been ed that the Treasury department has been giving favored larly the Western National Bank, of New, York City, of which the late Daniel Manning was use of enormous sums of ment money, without interest, and withont security. The ment will be looked for with much interest.

The Democratic Senators held a caucus Wednesday morning, to cide whether or not they would tempt to filibuster to defeat the jection of the fisheries treaty. They decided against obstructive tactics. Several of them will not be sorry to see the treaty rejected. The Democrats in Congress are 'indignant at the exposure of the gain they made with J. Milton ner, ex-Minister to Liberia, the ored man who got up the recent dianapolis colored convention.

The bargain was the passage by Con gress of a bill appropriating 875,000 for the negro section of the Cherokee Indians, as compensation for their share of the lands taken from the tribe several years ago. J. Milton Turner is the agent of these negro Cherokees, and is to receive twentyfive per cent, of the amount priated. This scheme was worked very slyly, the men who made the disgraceful bargain having gotten Representative O'Neill, the labor-democratic member from St. Louis, to introduce the bill.

But now that the deal has been exposed, J. Milton Turner will probably have to look elsewhere for his pay for getting up the Indianapolis tion. Several more pension bills were vetoed by Mr. Cleveland. After the of next March he vjrillhave to pit this sport.

Some moon-struck individual "wrote a letter from here this week, stating that the cause of the delay iu Cleveland's letter was that he tended to decline the nomination. Dan Lamont has taken the trouble to deny it, which was a waste of time on his part. Everybody knows that Mr. Cleveland has no idea of declining a thing that lie has been working and scheming for, night and day, since March 4, 1885. He probably knows by this time that his free trade sentiments will defeat him, but he will run all the same.

The reason for the delay in the pearance of Cleveland's letter of ceptance: is that he is trying to fix it so that it will hold the free trade vole, and not alienate the friends of protection to American impossible task. Senator Edmunds proposes to make things lively for Attorney eral Garland, for his attempt to vent the United States Supervisors of elections in New York state from properly performing their duties. If Cleveland could hear some of the remarks made on his action in regard to the river and harbor bill he would blush with shame, if such a thing is possible. His attempted explanation of why he allowed it to become a law without his approval satisfies nobody. Of course he could not veto it, having promised long before the bill was framed, that he would not.

That promise is what secured the passage of the Mills bill. To have signed' the bill and said nothing more about it would have been the most manly course. Senator Blair has introduced, as a substitute for a bill already on the calendar, a bill providing for a sion of $25 a month to female army nurses or hospital agents, who served at least six months during the lion or were injured in the service. A bill has been introduced in the House to give Mrs. Sheridan a sion of 95,000 a year.

It should speedily become a law, as the ty left by the late General will not yield income sufficient for the port of the widow and her family. The Republican caucus of tors Wednesday night, decided to press the fisheries treaty to a vote immediately, then to finish up the appropriation bills, and afterwards to take up Senator Chandler's lution on election frauds in the south, and the bills for the sion of Washington, Montana and North Dakota as States. When these measures are disposed of, the tariff bill will be ready for sion, HOWELL. Boys' and 1888.

At one time I had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the ease was complicated with Chronic Catarrh.
