THE PLATFORM WANTED.
- "When -the great council of Repub
licans conies together to represent
the wishes and the needs of Ameri
can citizens, its declaration on one
question will have supreme import
ance to the people. Every man
has a, direct personal interest ia
in the question, saj-s-the New York
Tribune, of duties on imports. Four
years ago a great many working
men were persuaded by leaders and
demagogues that neither their wages
nor their employment would be ma
terially affected by any change of
the tariff that was possible. Years
of bitter experience Lave taught
. tbem better. They know now,' be
yond all possibility of dispute, that
reduction of duties may, and in
many branches of industry actually
aoes suoject tuem to an enormously
increased foreign competition, which
lessens the number of persons who
can be employed in this country and
the wages that can be paid to them.
It is no longer a vague theory which
they have to confront, but a prac
tical experience which will not be
forgotten so long as the worVers of
this generation live. They have
seen their employment, reckoned in
davs or hours, reduced bv a lrcA
percentage in consequence of this
foreign competition. At the same
time they have seen wages of labor
generally reduced more than at any
other time for twenty years.
The wage-earning millions form
the main body of every political
party. . Practical politicians, who.are
areusiumeu 10 run imngs in villages
J and wards, or in districts and states,
think much of the distribution of
offices and contracts. But these
things interest at the most 200,000 or
300,000 persons. The waes of
labor and the condition of indus
tries directly interest more than 20,
000,000, many of whom are voters.
If the convention finds a candidate
and adopts a platform which ex
presses in the most distinct and em
phatic manner the desire of the wage
earners respecting foreign competi
tion and duties on imports, there
will not be very profound interest
felt, it is possible, in the rest of its
deliverance. The people will vote
for Republicanism and prosperity,
Implicitly trusting the Republican
party to protect the national honor
in foreign affairs or in monetary
matters, as it has done for many
years.
It is therefore important that the
convention should be prepared ,to
declare its position on the tariff
question so distinctly ajid unmistak
ably that there shall no longer be the
shadow ot an excuse for any man to
pretend that he is. a Republican if he
subordinates the protection of home
industries to his notions about cur
rency, the coinage of . silver, or any
other question. It does not answer
to be a Republican provided one can
have his own way, against the will
of nine-tenths of the people, about
some question of that sort. "The
people need defense of their indus
tries, whether they get something
else or not. They need genuine
Republicans make their laws, not
men who have gone so far in their
devotion to the silver interest or
some other that they are ready to
destroy national prosperity if their
pet theories or wishes are thwarted.
When the national convention
pledges the utmost efforts of the
Republican party to restore full pro
tection to home industries, H does
not mean that a Republican will do
this after he has done something else,
or provided he can do something
else, but wilf refuse if he cannot.
Men of that stamp need to be told
in the most emphatic manner by the
ational convention that they must
either serve Republican principles
unconditionally and faithfully, or
cease to be reckoned with the great
party which has never yet paltered
with its pledges from the first elec
tion of Abraham Lincoln in this
hour.
If a man has the notion that labor
cannot be sufficiently protected with
out cheaper monev, that is not an
honest reasdh for refusing to give
labor such protection as he can. If
he finds a measure pending which is
not half what he wants, that is not
an honest reason for refusing to do
what he can in the direction of his
principles and pledges, ' Neither is
it an excuse for refusing to carry out
one pledge of the Republican party
that a man considers it has also
promised something else which nine
tenths of its members never meant
to promise. The national convention-will
need to be decidediy blunt
and explicit, and cannot speak too
plainly for the 20,000,000 of wage
el rner3.
