REPUBLICAN PLATFOBM.
A Masterly Declaration of Princi
ples that Will Insure Victory.
The Republicans of the United States,
assembled by their representatives iu
lational convention, appealing for the
topular and historical justification of
.heir claims to the matchless achieve
ments of thirty years of Republican rule,
earnestly and confidently address them
selves to the awakened intelligence, ex
perience and conscience of their country
men iu the following declaration of facts
snd principles:
For the lirst time since the Civil War
the American people have witnessed tlic
calamitous consequences of full and un
restricted Democratic control of the
government. It has been a record of
unparalleled incapacity, dishonor and dis
aster. In administrative management It
has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable
revenue, entailed an unceasing denoit,
eked out ordinary current expenses wln
borrowed money, piled up the public debt
by $1M1;!,iHi.U00 in time of peace, forced
an adverse bulanec of trade, kept a per
petual menace hanging over the redemp
tion fund, pawned American credit to
alien, syndicates and reversed all the
measures and results of successful Re
publican rule. In the broad effect . of its
policy it has precipitated panic, blighted
industry and trade with prolonged de
pression, closed factories, reduced .work
ami n-nvKM. Imbed t'litornrise and crippled
American production, while stimulating
I ii, Minn for the American
market. Kverv consideration of public
safety and individual interest demands

from the bunds of those who have shown
themselves incapable to conduct it with
out disaster at home and dishonor abroad.

they sre entitled to the enactment of
such laws as are best calculated to sectm
the fulfillment of the pledges made to
them in the dark days of the country's
peril. We denounce the practice :o the
Pension bureau, so recklessly and un
justly carried on by the present adminis
tration, of reducine nonsions and arbi
trarily dropping names from the rolls as
deserving the severest condemnation of
the American people.
Vigorous Foreign Policy.
Our foreign policy should be st sll
times firm, vigorous and dignified and all
onr interests in the Western hemisphere
carefully watched and guarded. The
Hawaiian islands should be controlled by
the United r' tares, and no foreign power
should be permitted to interfere with
them; the Nicaragua canal should be
built, owned and operated by the United
States, and by the purchase of the Dan
ish islands we should secure a proper
and much-needed naval station in the
West Indies.
To Stop Armenian Massacres.
The massacres in Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and just in-
tiignarion of the American people, ana
we believe Hint the United States should
xercise all the influence it can properly
exert to bring these atrocities to an end.
In Turkey American residents have been
exposed to the gravest dangers ana
American propertv destroyed. There
nd everywhere American citizens and
American propertv must be absolutely
protected at all hazard and at any cost.
Monroe Doctrine Reasserted.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine in its
full extent and we reaffirm the right of
the United States to give the doctrine ef
fect by responding to the appeals of any
American slate for friendly intervention
Iu case of European encroachmeut. We
have not interfered and shall not later
fere with the existing possessions of any
rjuiuijcuii power in mis ucuiiaijucin,
those possessions must not, on any pre
text, be extended. We hopefully looK
forward to the eventual withdrawal of
the Kuropran powers from this hemis
spherc and to the ultimate union of all
the I'.nghsh-speaking part of the con
tinent by tuo tree consent ol us in
habitants.
f ndepon 'ence for Cuba.
From the hour of achieving their own
ludeoenili'iice the neonle of the United
States 'have regarded with sympathy the
struggles of other American peoples to
free themselves from Kuropeun 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 full
success of their determined contest for
liberty.
The government or Spain, nnving met
control of Culin, and being unable to 'pro
tect the property and lives ot resident
American citizens, or to comply with its
treatv obligations, we believe that the
government of the United States should
actively use its influence and goon omens
to restore peace and give independence
to the island.
Knlargement of Navy.
The peace and security of the republic
and the maintenance of its rightful In
fluence among the nations of the earth
demand a naval power commensurate
wilh its position and responsibility. c
therefore favor the continued enlarge
ment of the navy and a complete system
of harbor and seacoast defenses.
Limitation of Immigration..
For the protection of the quality of our
American citizenship and of the wages
of our wol Liiiginen against the fatal com
petition of low-priced labor we demand
that the ii ignition laws he thoroughly
enforced sod so extended as to exclude
from entrance 'o the United States those
who can neither read nor write.
OUR NATIONAL HON OB.
Mr. McKlnley, In Hla Speech to the
Notification Committee, Saya
It Is Involved In the Cur
rency Question.
"Senator Thurston and Gentlemen ef
the Notification Committee of the Repub
lican National Convention: To be select
ed as their Presidential candidate by a
great party convention, representing so
vast a number of the people of the Unit
ed States, is a most distinguished honor,
for which I would not conceal my high
appreciation, although deeply sensible of
the great responsibilities of the trust and
m inaKllltv tn hear them without the
generous and constant support of my fel
low countrymen.
"Great as is the honor conferred, equal
ly arduous and important is the duty im
posed, and in accepting the one I assume
the other, relying upon the patriotic
devotion of the people to the best inter
ests of our beloved country, and the sus
taining care and aid of him without
whose support all we do is empty and
vain. Should the people ratify the
choice of the great convention for which
you speak, my only aim will be to pro
mote the public good, which in America
is always the good of the greatest num
ber, the honor of our country, ana me
welfare of the neonle.
"The questions to be settled in the na
tional contest this year are as serious
and important as any of the great gov
ernmental problems that have confronted
us in the last quarter of the century.
They command our sober judgment and a
settlement free from partisan prejudice
and passion, beneficial to ourselves and
befitting the honor and grandeur of the
republic. They touch every interest of
our common country.

"The government of the United States

McKlnley'a Speech to the Foraker
Club Giving a Resume of the
Issues of the Campaign.
Canton, O., July 11. It was less than
an hour after adjournment of the Chi
eaffo convention when the Thirty-second
Ward Foraker Club of Cleveland arrived 1
in Canton liOO strong, with their wives
and daughters. They marched at once
to Governor McKinley'a residence. After
President D. H. Lucas had made a pre
sentation address Governor McKinley
said:
"Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen
and My b'ellow Citizens: It gives me
very great pleasure to welcome yon to
my home city and to my home, and I ap
preciate more than I can lind words to
express the honor and the compliment
of this call. I thank you for your con
gratulations and the assurances of snn
port which you make for the great prin
ciples for which this year the Repuolican
party stands. (Applause.) I congratu
late you upon having for your name one
of the most illustrious of our statesmen
in Ohio, Joseph Benson Foraker. lAp-

imposed upon the patriotic people: of this
country a responsibility greater than the
Civil war. Then It was a struggle 10
servo the eovernment or tne i. uueu

the honor of the government. (Cn.'s ot

"Then it was a contest to save the

less its credit. (Great applause.) Then
ection was arrayed agam"1 secuou.
nn men nf all sections can unite, and
will nnite, to rebuke tho repudiation of
our obligations and the debasement of
our currency. (Applause.)
"In this contest patriotism is nnovc
party and national honor is dearer than
any party name. The currency nnd cred
it of the government are good now. and
must be kept good forever. Our trouble
is not with the character of the money
that we have, but with the threat to de
base it. We have the same currency
that we had in ISO'J, good the world over
snd unquestioned by any people. Then,
too, we had unexampled credit and pros
noritv. Our dirTicultv now is to get that
money in circulation and invested in
productive enterprises which furnish em
ployment to American labor. (Great ap-
pIllUKO.)
"This is Impossible wiln the distrust
that hangs over the country at the pres
ent time, snd every effort to m ike our
dollars or any one of them worth lei-s

A SILVER CATECHISM.
The Detroit Free Tress publishes th
following:
In my judgment an association of men
eminent in business and otherwise
should be formed iu tins city witnout
delay, whose duty it should be to write
or procure to be written, a large number
of tracts treating solely the question of
sound money, to contain not more Tnan
l.(XH) words each, and to be printed in
large type and upon good pnper. These
should be distributed, or be ready fot
distribt'tion by the middle of August,
and copies should be placed in we nanus
of every wage-earner and farmer in the
slate of Michigan.
They would best subserve tne purpose
if drawn up in the form of n catechism,
of which I append a specimen:
0.. Whnt is the fundamental conten
tion of the free-coinage advocates?
A. That the amount of money in cir
culation has been decreasing since the
demonetisation of silver, and that this
decrease has caused a general fall in
prices.
Q. Is it true that the money supply
has been decreasing?
A. It is not.
(. What ere the facts?
A. As far ns the United Ftates is con
cerned there has been an enormous in
crease. In 13i() the money in circula
tion in this count rv was $4-12,10,477;
in 1S72 it was $7:?8,30!,r,4'.; by ths
treasury bulletin at the beginning oftho
present month of July it una U,UD,725,"
a HI.
Q. What does this show?
A. It shows that our money supply
has increased 240 per cent, as compared
wilh ISiio, end 11 per cent, as com
pared with 172.
V!. -Huh the money stipMy increased
faster than the population?
A. Very much, faster.
- ). I low do you prove tins?
A. Uy dividing the to! ul money In
circulation nt euch Jute by the total
population of the country at the same
dale, and thus liudiug the circulation per
capita.
tj. V, lint do"s such a process show!
A. -'Ihe per capita cticiilution of tha
United Stales cii Jul 1. ISW, was
M4Xi; on July 1. JX7J, it was .flS.70;
at the b vinuiiig of July in ltJd it was
