that a tariff should be based upon the difference between tne cost of an article abroad and in this country. And we further believe that when such a tariff law, is enacted that it will be fair and just to all and if in force at this time, the farmers of this coutny would not be in competition with the importation of corn form Argentine, nor with the importation of oats and wheat from Canada; and therefore we are opposed to the present tariff law', and likewise opposed to the reciprocity bill with Canada, which the Republican Party attempted to put into force and effect. The deliberate betrayal of its trust by the Republican Party, and the apparent incapacity of the Democratic Party to solve the problems of this day, are causes that should appeal to every man and especially to every Progressive to put forth every effort to bring about the success of the Progressive Party, in order that those problems may be met and solved, W e further declare that w ? e are not “coming back,” but that we are going on with a larger and more determined party, of one thought from east, to west and north to south. In the rank and file of both old parties there are many voters of Progressive tendencies, who are clinging to a name, to a mere form, from which the substance has been trampled under foot by scheming politicians, and to these men we extend a hearty invitation to come with us. Therefore, be it resolved, that we Progressives of Jasper County, Indiana, pledge ourselves to do all in our power to carry out the principles as set forth in our State and National platforms, with a firm and confident belief in those principles and in their ultimate success; and believing at all times that a platform is a contract with the people and not a mere convenience. And, be it further resolved, that the Progressives of .Jasper County, Indiana, will do all in our powmr to give notice of our conventions apd meetings jjy word or mouth, and by publishipg the same in such newspapers as will print the same, and that we are determined to hold such meetings, notwithstanding the fact that the Rensselaer Republican has refused to publish notices o's our meetings. , P, R.
