Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy, and go
hand in hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both and both
jnust. .be. . re-established. Protection
for what we produce; free admis
sion for the necessaries of life which
we do not produce; reciprocal agree
ments of mutual interest which gain
open markets in return for our open
markets to others. Protection buids
up domestic ' industry and trade and
secures our own market for ourselves;
reciprocity builds up foreign' trade and
finds as outlet for our surplus.

their claims to the matchless achieve
- ments of thirty years of Republican
rule, earnestly and confidently address
themselves to the awakened intelligence,
experience and conscience of their coun
trymen in the following declaration of
facts and principles :
For the first time since the Civil War
the American people have witnessed the
calamitous consequences of full and re
stricted Democratic control of the Gov
ernment. It has been a record of unpar
alleled incapacity, dishonor and disaster.
In administrative management it has
ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable reve
nue, entailed an increasing deficit, eked
out ordinary current expenses with bor
rowed money, piled up the public debt
by $368,000,000 in time of peace, forced
an adverse balance of trade, kept a per
petual menace hanging over the redemp-
fctal withdrawal f the luapfck. fir

attmata anion of all Estftoh-speakiag
parts ot the continent By tne tree cos
.sent of its inhabitants.
: ' CUBA. '
From the hour of achieving their own
independence, the people of the United
States have regarded wish sympathy the
straggles of other American peoples to
free themselves from European domina
tion. ' We watch with deep and abiding
interest the heroic battle of the Cuban
patriots against cruelty and oppression,
and our best hopes go out for the. loll
success of their determined contest for
liberty. The Government of Spain hav
ing lost control of Cuba, and being un
able to protect the property or lives ot
resident American citicens or to comply
with its treaty obligations, we believe
the Government of the United States
should actively use its influences and
good, offices to restore peace and give in
dependence to the island.
THE NAVY.
The peace aad security of the repub
lic and the maintenance of its rightful
influence among the nations of the earth
demand a naval power eemsnensarate
with its position and respossmxty.
We therefor favor the continue on
largement of the navy and a ootnplot
system of harbor and sea coast der-ases,
FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
For the protection . of .the quality of
our American citiaehship and the wages
of our workingmen against th fatal
competition of low-priced labor, we de
mand that the immigration laws be
thoroughly enforced and so extended as
to exclude from entrance to the United
States those who can neither read nor
write.

: THE TARIFF.
W renew and emphasize our alle
giance to the policy of protection as the
bulwark of an American industrial in-
deoence and the foundation of Ameri
can development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro
ducts and encourages home industry,
and it puts the burden of revenue on
foreign goods; it secures the American
market for the American producer! it
upholds the American standard of wages
for the American workingman; it puts
tbe factory by the side of the farm, and
make tbe American farmer less depend
ent on foreign demand and price; it
diffuses general thrift, and founds the
strength of all on the strength of each.
-V CIVIL SERVICE.
The civil service law was placed on
the statute books by the Republican
party, which has always sustained it,
and we renew our repeated declarations
that it shall be thoroughly and honestly
enforced and extended wherever practi
cable.

We demand that every citizen of the
United States . shall be allowed to cast
one. free and unrestricted ballot, and
that such ballot be counted and returned
as cast
LYNCH INGS.
We proclaim our unqualified condem
nation of the uncivilized and barbarous
practice, well known as lynching, or
killing of human beings suspected or
charged with crime, without process of
law.
NATIONAL ARBITRATION.
We favor the creation of a National
Board of Arbitration to settle and ad
just differences which may arise be
tween employers and employed engaged
in interstate commerce.
v' HOMESTEADS.
We believe in an immediate return to
the tree homestead policy of tbe Repub
lican party, and urge the paesag by
Cbagreos of the satisfactory free home
stead measure which has already passed
the House and is now pending in the
Senate.
TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission of the re
maining Territories at the earliest prac
ticable date, having due regards to the
interest of tbe Territories and the United
States. All the Federal officers ap
pointed for the Territories should, be
selected from bona fide residents thereof.

FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Our foroijrn policy shonld be at all
times firm, vigorous and dignified, and
all our interests in the Western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
The Hawaiian islands should be con

foreign power should be permitted to

ARMEMIAN MASSACRES.
The massacres in Armenia have

The question of rates is a practical ques

and then it wants a rest
RECIPROCITY.
