"The flrst concern of all good government is tho virtue and sobriety of the peoplo and tho purity or the homo. Tho republican party cordially sympathizes with all wiso and well directed clforts for tho promotion of temper ance and . morality. " Republican Platform , 1888. Responding heartily to these noblo senti ments , and to other enunciations of political truth concerning social , economic and moral questions contained in tho \ comprehensive declarations of tho NATIONAL UEPUBLICAN I'LVTFOKM , adopted bj tho recent convention at Chicago , wo send greeting to tho women of the United States , and ask them to make utterance of their devotion to home and country by giving nctivo support to tho Republican party in the pend- ing campaign. We who send you this call , do not claim pre-eminent devotion to home and country. Wo know that everywhere in our land are patriotic women ; they love tho Hag ; they waved it In holiday splendor under the blue sky of natioual prosperity ; they revered it when its brightness was dimmed by tho smoke ' of war. It Is precious as the blood of kindred , sacred as tho shroud of beloved dead. To all who believe that the ilrfg is worth all it costs j to all loyal women this address comes. The Republican party is notasectional it is a : national party. In its counsels are wounded veterans of the Union army , and soldiers of the late confederacy , and enfrauchisod slaves ; the party knows no east , no west , no north , no south. Eastern culture nnd western enterr prise have nurtured a conservative-radicalism as contiguous and contiuuousas is the Conti1 uchthl , railway system which the Republican policy j of internal improvements made possi ble. ' Across the "Bloody Chasm" a part of our historic i past are the clasped hands of grow- ing industries , sensitive and responsive with nerves , of trade , steam and smoke and lluuio from 1 f urnace.faetory and mill are the eloud by day and the fire by night , renewedly attesting republican principles , and guiding the country out from the wilderness of sectionalism into the promised land of a perfectly icstored na tionalism. In the ranks of the Republican party are many i citizens of foreign birth. In America they are Americans : they do not forget \ the mother country nor the father landj but here they are loyal to the stars and stripes : their loyalty was tested even to the shedding of blood in war ; with whatever makes for good citizenship they are welcome in the party : J their rights under the Hag command respect , The achievements of this great party have made luminous this century's history. Under God's < blessing It rescued the imperilled nation. saved the government our fathers left us. aud maintained the institutions which assure to American women tho exalted position they now enjoy. The Republican party has always been the party of protection ; protection to the citizen , protection to the negro , protection to the ballot box , protection to the wage-earner , protection to the wage-payer , and now in line \ with past professions and performances it dep clares for photection fok the "iiome. " Can American women fail to respond ? This party is not a party of unskilled , unf trained recruits , reckless to attempt , and helpr less to secure political defense ; itis not a troop of detached soldiery out on picket duty ; it is THE IIKGUCAIt AHMY OF AMEItlCAN PROGRESS , It was raised by the firesides of the people ; its ranks are kept full by the farm , the shop , the school , the mill ; it is sworn to champion aWhe command of the sovereign people "Whatsoever things are pure , whatsoever i things are lovely , whatsoever things are of ' good report , " in government. j American women , ibis is the parti * to whose i service we call you. What position will you ' take and hold during the month of the coming campaign ? Do you realize the moral side , the ! 1 heart-side of the economic questions which are t e being discussed in the campaign ? Do you reA' ! member that when labor is degraded , woman ! > is degraded ? The shopgirl , tlis factory operaU ' tive. the sewing woman , indeed every working p woman whether she toil in homo , or shop , or G school , is interested in the maintenance of the ! o American standard of values In labor , and its return to tho home. In November next , it twelve millions ot voters will o to the polls w and deteimine who shall receive the highest ft honorinthegiftof the American people. Its lliis f anything to you ? Does it make any difference to you who this man is , and for what set ot j" principles he stands ? Would not thechoieeof > 1INJA3IX HARRISON AKI ) LhVl V. MORTON , | J as chief tweet Ives of tin s great nation , tend to establish a popular standard of private morals • fj and public service which any mother might present to the aspirations ol Iiersons ? Do not' ' p heir lives illustrate that purity in peisonal' character which is consonant with the highest' ' j worldly success ? That the dealings in the | q heart of trade , the court of justice , the legisj j lative chamber , or the camp of war need never • j blush in the home ? Is it not vital to the ua- j ri tion's life that these truths be emphasized in • fc the : characters of the people's chief representj atives ? j g Young women of the land have you no debt ! to pavtoth.it established onierof tilings which ' E we call christian civilisation ? Do you realise that Republican Institutions are the material organism tlnougli which this spirit of civiliza tion breathes ? Will you not in tha'ikful appro j ciation of the inheritance into u hicli yon have j entered , pledge humble fealty to the republi can party , whose standard bearer wears the q white flower of a blameless life ? Beyond the immediate demands of the present campaign j lies the broad Held of political ethics ; women are equally concerned with men in the seed j q sown and the harvest gathered there. ' KilKPEUS UKTIIK NVT1 > N' .S l ! . > MiS : , nlueatviis of tne nation ' s children , shaiers W its industries , and guardians of its shrines , will you not also give your best brain and j heart to a study of the principles of govern ment nnd their application in practical poli- / - , tics ? This giving shall not impoverish , its withoiding has .not enncned the hearts and [ homes of American women. j „ The state is not less a divine institution than ! the lamily where > our l hi one is. the church I where you andj-our childron worship God and | SI study His laws. Under our s.stem . of govern ment , the state is that great temple which the , . people are forever buildmand n-huililing. " * If they build well , the structure shall endure and safely protect our sacied interests from \ vandals without and traitors within. If they build recklessly or wickedly , the structure shattered and destroyed , will full upon our Si heads , and we. defencelesss. shall vainly seek jj the foundations where our homes were , where our altars stood. Let us , therefore , in this as in every relation re of life , do what we can. Enlnrged opportuni ties impose commensurate obligations. The . united influence of Republican women will 'C conserve moral power in society , utilize dorin maut political forces for the public good , and aid in .
