In tho broad effect of its policy it li!is prrcipita'ed panic, blighted industry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wage, hulted enterprise and crip pled Ainerlcnn production, while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market. Every consideration of public sufety and individual interest de mands that tho (lovernment shall be rescued from tho hnndt of those who havesUown themselves incapable to con duct it without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be restored to the party which for thirty yeara ad ministered it with tmequulled success and prosperity. THE TARIFF. We renew and emphasize our alle giance to the policy of protection an the bulwark of an American industriul in dtpvuee ami the foundation of Ameri can development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts mid encourages home industry, uud it puts tho burden of revenue on foreign goods; it secures the Aineiicnn market lor tho American producer! it upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingmaii; it puts the factory by the side of the farm, and makes tho 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. In its reasonable application it is just, fair and impartial, rttially opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly; to sectional discrimination and individ ual favoritism. V denounce tl:e present Democratic tariff as sectional, injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business en terprise. We demand such an equitable tariff on foreign imports which come into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expense of tue oovcrnmeut. out will protect Amer ican labor from the degradation to the wage level of otheT binds. We are uot pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates is a practical (jura tion, to bo governed by tho conditions of the tune and of production; tho rul ing and uncompromising principle Is the protection uud development of American labor and industry, Tb country demands a right settlement, uud then it wants a rest. RECIPROCITY. We believe tho repeal of the reciproc ity arrangements negotiated by tho lust Republican udmiulstration was a na tional calamity, and we dsuiand their g tig renewal and extortion npon inch terras aa will eipudUj our trn:!o with other Uitloiis, remove th ledrictlons whlcii now obfltiuct the mhI of American pro duels in the ports of other countries, and secure enlarged inurkots for the pro ducts f onr farms, forests and fuelo ries. ProUctiin and reciprocity are twin weastirei of Repubbcan jioliiy, and go hand iu hund. Di-inoerutic rule lias reiki .(sly struck down Isilh and both timet l ro-est lb'l Led.

Prot-ciion l.ul d' up domeitio iiidiislry uud trslj and aeenrea our own inurket for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign (rale and finds an outlet for oar surplus. bUOAR. We condemn the present Administra tion for not keeping faith with the stigai ; producers of this country. The Repub lican purty favors such protection lit will lead to tho production on Ameri can soil of ull the sugar which the Am erican people use uud fur which they paid other countries more than fiO'V 000,000 annnally. j WOOL AND WOOLEN To all our products to thoe of the mine mid field, as well us those of the shop and tho factory to hemp, to j wool, the product of the great industry of sheep husbandry us well as to the finished woolens of the mill we prom ise tho most ample protection. j MERCHANT MARINE. I We favor restoring tho early Amerl- can policy of discriminating duties fur, tho upbuilding of our merchant marine on 1 the protection of our shipping' in-: terests iu the foreign currying trade, sol i w OAmiETT A. IIOII ART. American ships the product of Aiueri cuu lubor, employed i:i Auiariciii ship yurds, sailing under the Stats and Stripes, and manned, officered mid owned by Americans may regain tun currying of our foreign couiui'.'rce. MONEY. The Republican parly is unreservedly for found money. It caused the enact ment of tho law providing for t ha re sumption of specie payment in 1STJ; since then every dollar has been as good as gold; wo are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. Wo ure, therefore, opposed to tho fre coinage of silver except by in ternational agreemmt with the leading commercial nations of the world, which wo pledge ourselves to promote, an 1 until such agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard mnst be pre served. All our silver and paper cur rency must bo maintained at parity with gold, und wo favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the ob ligations of the United States and all our money, wliother coin or paper, at the preseut standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth. PENSIONS. The veterans of the Union armies de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should l given the preference in the matter of employ ment, and they ure entitle.! to the en actment of such luws as are l-t calcu lated to secure tho fulfillment of the pledges made to them in tho dark days of the country's peril. Wo denounce tho practice in the pension bureau, sc recklessly and unjustly c.n riod on by the preseut Administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls as deserving the severest condemnation of the American people. FOREIGN RELATION'S. Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous and dignified, and 11 our interests iu tho Western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian islands should be con trolled by tho United States, and no foreign power should be permitted to iuterfere with them. The Nicaragua canal should ho built, owned and oper ated by the United States, mid by the purchase of the Danish islands we should secure the proper i n I lunch needed naval station in the We t Indies. A R.MEM I AN MASSACRE The mussacros in Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and just in diguutiou of the American people, and wo Mieve the L'uiiel States should exort all the influence it cau properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. Iu Turkey American residents have been exposed to tho gravest dangers aud Americau property destroyed. There aud everywhere American citizens and Americau properly must K absolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost, MONROE 1 OCTR1NE. We reassert the Monroe (loctriu iu its fullest extent and we reaffirm the right of the United Slates to give the doctrine effect by lo-pondin to the ap peals of any American state for friendly intervention in case of European en croachment We have uot interfered and idiall not interfere with the existing possesions of any Euro'van power in this hemisphere, but those possessions must not, oil auy pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the even- tnal withdrawal of ttis Euroiau pow ers from this heuiisphsrs and to the ultimate union of all Euglih-sr.e'kdni( parts of tho continent by the freo con sent i t it inhabitants. CUBA. From tho hour of achieving their own indeiendence, the people of the United (States have regarded with sympathy the straggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European domina tion. Wo watch with deep and abiding interest tho heroic battle of the Cuban putrlots against cruelty and oppression, and our best hope go out for the full success of their determined contest for liberty. Tba Uovsrnment of Spain hav ing lost control of Cuba, and being un able to protect the property or lives of resident American citizens or to comply with its treaty obligations, we believe the Government of tho United States should actively use its influences and good ofllces to restore peace and give in depeiidulico to the island. THE NAVY. Tho peace and security of tho repub lic and tho maintenance of its rightful influence among the nutions of tho earth demand a naval powr commensurate with its position and responsibility. Wo therefore favor tho continued en largement of the navy and a complete system of harbor and sea coast uereuses. FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. For the protection of the quality of our American citizenship and the wages of our workinv'men against tho ratal coui'ietittou of low-price 1 lubor, wo de mand that the immigration la.s be thoroughly enforcod and so extnded os to exclude from entrance to the imteu States those who cun neither read nor write. CIVIL SERVICE The civil scrvico law was placed on the stattito books by tho Republican party, which has always sustained it, I I and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall Ih thoroughly niu lionotiy enforced nnd extended wherever practi cable. FREE BALLOT. Wo demand that every citizen of the United S ates shall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot, nnd that such ballot becountel nnd returned as ctt-st. LYNCIUNUS. We proclaim our in, qualified condem nation of tho uncivilized aud barbarous practice, welt 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 Nutional Beard of Arbitration to settle and ad just differences which may arise l tween employers and employed engaged in interstate commerce. HOMESTEAD We Iclievo in an immediate return to the freo homestead policy of the Repub lican party, uud ur-e the passage by Congress of the satisfactory free home stead lueusure which has already passed the IIouso and is now pending iu the Senate, TERRITORIES We favor the iidmisjiou of tho re maining Teintones at the earliest prac ticable date, having duo regards to the interest of the Territories and the United States. All the Federal efflcers ap pointed for the Territoiles should be selected from bona fide retideiits thereof, and tho right of self-government should be accord ml a far rut practicable. We lelieve tho citizens of Alaska should have representation iu the Con gress of the United States, to the end that needful legislation may be intelli gently enacted. TEMPERANCE. We sympathize with all wise and legitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of intemperance und promote morulity. RIGHTS OF WOMEX. The Republican party is mindful of the rights of women. Protection of American industries includes equal op portunities, equal pay for equal work, and protection to the home. We favor the udiuission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and wel come their co-operation in rescuing the country from Democratic and Populist mismanagement uud misrule. Such are the prinoiples and p 'lines of tho Republican party. By these princi ples we will abide, aud these policies we will put into execution. We ask for them tho considerate judgment of the American people. Confident alike in tho history of our great party and in the justice of our cause, wo presout our platform and our candidates, in the full ussurunce that tho election will bring victory to tho Regublican party and prosperity to tho people of the United States.

(Jueold gentleman was uppurently no. affected with seasick ntss. llegtowl looking off at tho waves und fond of being on deck, even though the tosBing of tho waves made it necessary for him to labh liiinMf into a chair on the deck. "Finally, the weather cleared tin and, the eea became calm aud the passengers became acquainted The old gentleman was not ap.' proached much by anyone and ap. peared to make no advances. Ifa name was unknown, excepting to tho ship's officers, with whoinju registered. Before wo reached Net York, the ladies were airangiugg program for one evening jn t,e main cabin, and a self appoint. committee went about to Becureaj. sistauce. Several well known pub. lie men and women were en board and all promised to contribute something for the Ketierul enjoy, ment. The ladies went to the old gentleman. Yes, said he, I will try to entertain the company for a few moments. About five minutes did you say? Tho ladies were some what amu3ed, and went away think ing it rather a joke. They expec ted somo sport from the funny old man .and asked him his name, His reply was that ho could be announced simply as an old gentle man who would lurnish a number of his own selection. When tho lime came, lie arose and said he would recite a poem of his own composition and he pro ceeded to givo them 'William Brown,' a poem well known to all as Jaquin Miller's production. The company wero perfectly delighted. They stormed with applause, and Joaquin Miller was compelled to tell his name, which, once repealed, was familiair to nearly every one in the cabin, and he was the lion dur ing tho remainder of tho trip home." T11K WIFK PAYS ALIMONY. Chicago Times Herald: Adecis ion has just been made by Judge Gibbs of the Crook county circuit court that ought to prove interest ing to tho new woman. It was in a divorce case where tho wife u the complainant. It docs not appear from tho decision what tho laJi ground of complaint is, M it is shown that both pat ties are past the age of GO and have only been married two years. Tho husband is poor and unable to work, while the wife owns property and is fairly well to do. In the circumstances the solicitor for tho defendant made application to the court for tempor ary alimony and a reasonable sum for solicitor's fees. The cases are familiar where a husband applying for a divorce is required to pay alimony and at torneys' fees, but that a wife should be thus chtrged with tho expense is entirely now. No precedent was in the argument that covered the case, so the judge was obliged to decide it as of first impression. He consequently entered learnedly and luminously into the history of the status of woman from the Homeric ago down to tho present day, show ing how women have been gradu ally emancipated from tho thrall in which man formerly held her, until now she Btands upon an ab solute equality with him so far as property rights and individual freedom aro concerned. She is equally liable with him for the support of their family, and if he has no property sho must pay the bills. These priciple3 being well settled the judge carries them to their logical conclusion. If the husband can bo obliged to pay alimony to the wife, under like circumstances the wife may be compelled to pay alimony to the husband. He fft)'J "Every reason of right, justico and moral is in favor of tho proposi tion that the duties which the husband and wife owe to each other are reciprocal." The judgment, therefor, was in favor of tho husband and the wile was ordered to pay. Such u new phase of tho equality of the sexes. Woman mar now rejoice that che is at last the the equal oi the tvrant man. , l'robably the owner of the largest number of dogs in the world is Custav Jovanovitch, a "Bussian cattle king," who has 33,000 shep herd dogs to look after l.oOO.OW ' sheep.
