Thf Republieans of tie United
State", in national convention assem
bled, renew their allegiance to the
principles upon which they have tri
umphed in six successive Presidential
elections and congratulate the 'Ameri
can peopla on the attainment of so
many results in legislation and admin
istration, hy which the Republican
party lias, after saving the Union, done
so much to render its institutions just,
equal and beneficent, the safeguard of
liberty and the embodiment of the best
thousht and highest purpose of our
citizet.s. The Republican party has
gained its strength -by a quick aud
faithful response to the demands of the
ppople for the freedom and equality of
all men for a uni'ed nation, assuring
the rights of all citiz"ns, for the eleva
tion of labor, for an honest currency,
for purity in -.legislation nnd for in
tegrity mid accountability in all the
departments of the Government, and
it accepts anew the duty of leading in
thf work of progress aud reform.
We lament the death of President
Garfield, whose sound statemanship
long couspicuous in Congress, gave
promise, of a strong and successful ad
ministration, a promise fully realized
(luring tho short ppriod of his office as
President of the United States. His
distihguished success in war and peace
has endeared him to the hearts of the
American ppople. In the administra
tion of Prescient Arthur we recognize
a wise, conservative and patrotic policy
under which the country has been
liles-ed with remarkable prosperity.
We believs his eminent eri ices aio en
titled to and will receive the hearty
approval of tvery citizen.
It is thu first duty of a good Govern
ment to. protect the rights and promote
ihe interests of its own people. The
largest diversity of industry is most
productive of general prosperity und
jho comfort and independence of the
people, tho tax payers without injuring
the laborer or tho great productive in-
-tcrwits of tho country.
Vreeogniz8thoimportance of sheep
husbandry in the United State", the
serious depression which itiexperienc
ing, and the danger threatening its
future prosperity, and we therefore
respect the demands of the represen
tatives of this imporiitant agricultural
interest' for thp readjustment of the
duty upon foreign wool, in ordor that
such industry shall have full and ade
quate protection. Wo therefore de
mand that the imposition of duiicstm
foreign imports shall be made not for
revenue only, but that in raising the
requisite levenuo for the Government
such duties shall be so levied as to
afford security to our diversified indus
tries and protection to the rights nnd
wages of the laborer, to the end that
active and intclligont labor, as well as
capital, may have its just reward, and
the laboring man his full share in the
national prosperity.
AtrainSt the so called economic sys
tem of the Democratic party, which
would degrade our labor to the foeign
.standard, we enter our earnest proUi-t.
The Ueiuccratic party has failed com
ploU'ly to relieve the peopla of the
burden of unnecessary taxation by n
wise reduction of the surplus. The
Republican party pledges iUeif to cor
rrct the irregularities of the tariff and
to reduce) the surplus, not by thu icious
and indiscriminate process of hori
zontal reduction, but by such methods
as will relieve the taxpaer without
injuria" tho laborer of the great pro
ductive interests of the century. .TJjp
Republican party favors a policy which
shall keep ut from ontungling alliances
with foreign nations and which gives
us the right to ex ret that foreign
nations shall refiaiu from meddling in
American nflairs. The policy which
seeks peace can trade with all Powers,
bus especially with those of tho wes
tern hemisphere.
We demand the restoration of our
navy to its oid time strength and effi
ciency, that it may, in any sea, pro
tect tho rights of A.uerican citizens
and thu interests of American com
merce and we call upon Congress to
remove the burdens under which Amer
ican shipping his been depressed, so
that it may again be true that we have
a commerce.
It is the duty ofCongris to enact
such laws as rhall promptly and ef
fectually suppress the system of poly
gamy within our Territories, nnd di
vorce the political from tho peclcsias
tieal power of the so called Mormon
Church, and that the law so enacted
should be rigidly enforced by the civi
authotiti-s, if possible, and by tho
military, if need be.
The people of the United Statesfin
their organized capacitj, constitute a
nation and not a mere confederacy of
states. Th National Government is
supreme with the sphere of its national
duty, but the States have resarvsd
rights which should ie faithfully maintained.
We have alrrnys recommended the
best money known to the civilized
world, and we urge that efforts Bhonld
be made to unite ail the commercial
nations im the establishment of an in
ternational standard, which shall fix
for all tho relative value of gold and
silver coinage.
The regulation of commerce with
foreign nations and between tho States
is one of the most important preroga
lives of the general Government, and
the Republican party distinctly an
nounces its purpose to support such
legislation as will fully and efficiently
carry out the constitutional power of
Congress over interstate commerce.
The principle of the public regulation
of railropd corporations is a wise and
salutary one for the protection of all
classes of the people, and we favor
legis'ation that shall prevent unjust
I ii icnri rrtn tinr nml nvnns-i . nlm.n.
uivviiiuiiiuviVit UUU sTAV.COOt'VC lllfe&lkf''
M I
for transportation, and shall secure to
the people and the railways alike the
fair and equal protection of the laws.
We favor the establishment of a
national bureau of labor, the enforce
ment of the eight hour lax, and a wise
and judicious saytem of general educa
tion by edequate appropriations from
the national revenuewhore the same
is needed.
We believe that everywhere the
protection accorded to citizens of
American birth must be stenred to
citizens by American adoption, and we
favor the settlement cf nUional differ
ences by intrnitional arbitration.
Ihe Republican party, having its
birth in a hatred of slave labor and a
desire that all men may bo tru'.y free
and equal, is unalterably opposed to
plncing our workingmen in competi
tion with any form of servile labor,
whether nt home or abroad. In this
spirit wc denounce the importation of
contract labor, whether from Euroj o
or Asia, as an offense against the spirit
of American "institutions, and we
pledge ourselves tcTtustain the present
law restricting Chinese immigration
vnd to provide such further legislation
as is necessary to carry out its purpose.
The reform of the civil service aus
piciously begun under Republican ad
ministration should be completed by
the further extension of the reform
systerr- already established by law to
all grades of the bervice to which it is
Applicable. Tho spirit and purpose of
the reform should bo observed in all
executive appointments p.nd-all laws at
variance with iho oKjtict of existing re
form legislation should be repealed, to
the end that the dangers to free in
s'itutions whieL lurk in the power of
official patronage may be wisely and
eflectively avoided.
The public lands are a heritage ol
the people of ths United States and
should be reserved, as far as possible,
for small holdings by actual settlers,
We are opposed to the acquisition of
large tracts of the-e lands by corpora
tions or individuals, especially where
such holdings are in the hands of non
resident aliens, and we will endeavor
to obtain such legislation as will tend
incorrect this evil. We demand ot
Coiigrei-s the speedy forfeiture of all
land grants which have lapsed by rea
son of non compliance with the acts of
incorporation, in all cases where there
lias beun no attempt in good faith to
perfonn the conditions of tuit grants.
The perpetuity of our institutions
rests upmi the maintaining cf a free
ballot, honest count and correct re
turns. V.'e denounce the fraud and
violence practiced by the Democratic
party in the Southern State-", by which
the will of the voter is defeated, as dan
gerous to the preservation of our free
institutions, and we solnmly arraign
the Democratic party as being tho
guilty recipient of the fruits of such
fraud and violence. We extend to tho
Republicans of the South, regardless
of their former party affiliations, onr
cordial sympathy, and pledge to them
our most earnest efforts to promote
the passage of such legislation as will
secure to every citizen of whatever
race and color the full and complete
recognition, possession and exercise of
all his civil and political rights.
Appointments by the President to
offices in the Territories shosld be
made from the bona fide citizens and
residents tf tho Territories wherein
they are to serve.
The grateful thanks of the Ameri
can people ate due to the Union Sol
diers and sailors of the late war, and
the Republican party stands pledged
to provide suitable pensions for all
who were disabled and for the widows
and orphans of those who died in the
war. The Republican party also
pledges it.selt to tho repeal of the limi
tations contained in the Arrears of
Pensions Act of 1879, so that all in
valid soldiers shaU share alike and
their elisions begin within the date
of disability or discharge and not with
date of application.
