Aside from the patriotism which every man, woman and child must find some nj' to appropriately express, today there is another cause for making a noise. The announcement that the con , tract for the grading of the railroad has been let for the entire line to Goble will make every Astorian feel like firing cannon today. Many enter prises which have been deferred until this final contract is let, will now be Inaugurated, and busy times will cer talniy be seen In Astoria this fall. Are the Democrats. aftr all. deter mined to wafhle Into oblivion? as the New York Henli. It looks that way. It looks a good leal as though the Democratic leaders once more, as j In were bent on saying good i re to Patriotism, to rride In thelrl coun try's credit and fair name and as a necessary result a long goodby to power and to Influence for roM. What Democratic voicr are going to stand aside if the f.-e; silver fanatics and Ppuiist crowd are a!!ced to ntle at Chicane? Wcii let u see Four and a hnit mtili-s nT persons have their livs insured for the benefit of their wive and children In this coun try. They have paid their premium on gold basis; If the free silver fanatics could have their way, these men, half af whom may fairly be supposed Demo cratic voter, would know that if they died, their helpless wives and children would ie paid off In fifty or at most, sixty cent dollars. Again, there are nearly Ave million of saving bank de-l pusitors In this country. Let us say only half of these are Democrat. They put In their small and hard savings on a gold basis. If silver rules In Chicago, and should win In November, they would get back their hard saving In fifty or sixty cent silver dollars. Does any one, even a Populist, believe these will help a sham Democratic party by their votes In November to rob them selves of half their savings? Again, nearly, two millions of workingmen have got nearly six hundred millions of dollars on a gold basis in about three nunurru anu miy mousana ouuumgs. homes and shops. Let us again count half of these to be Democratic voters, and does any free silver or Populist leader believe In his heart that these voters also will by their votes next November help a party which proposes and demands that they shall tak- fifty or sixty cents for every dollar ?h:y saved to put in these homes and shops of theirs? But they are not by ary means all the Democratic voters whom the plainest self Interest will lead to stand aside if Chicago wabbles. Democratic workingmen know that wherever there is a low priced dollar going it is inevitable, by a law of na ture, that it Is this low priced dollar with which the worklngman I paid off. There are many millions of Democratic workingmen, and the majority of them know better than to help, by their votes next November, to fool anl rob themselves. If at Chicago the Populist j and free silver ca'.amitv howlers are! permitted to rule, if the Democratic convention nominates a wabbling can didate on a wabbling platform, goodby to Democratic rule for many years to come. THEY CATCH AT A STRAW. It is apparent that one thing only will save the hard-money Democrats from annihilation in the Chicago con vention, and that is the two-thirds rule. If that la adhered to they realize that they have a fighting chance, but from the threats of the free silverltes such an opportunity w ill not be granted, as the white metal auvueatea do not in tend to allow their grand opportunity to pass by. The goli) standard mn will be made to understand that they are grasping a rope of sand should they hope to climb to victory in this man r.er. A majority vote is sufficient to ab rogate this rule, and only the finest diplomacy can succeed in steering clear of this chasm. A very Interesting account of the history of the two-thirds rule, which may prove to be the turning point of the Democratic convention, has been published. It Is a political legacy of the Baltimore convention of 1M4. In the election of that year there were twenty-six states, and thirteen of these were in the South. The Southern states In which the Democratic party had its strongest hold were fearful of being outvoted in the Democratic convention under plurality rule, and they enforced upon the party ln the interest of sec tional autonomy the rule whereby the thirteen Southern states acting col lectively might have for the protection f (heir material Interests a practical veto power upon the proceedings of Democratic conventions and be enabled therefore ' to defeat any hostile candi dates. Not until sixteen years later did the two-third rule lead to a severance of harmonious relations between two lVmooralle faction In the Charleston convention of tsitrt. The Northern IVm- HTitt were able to summon to th If support K5 delegate to 1SS from the Southern states, a majority, but not a tw o-thlrds majority. In IS' there ere thirty-three states. Forty-seven bal lots were taken at Charleston without result, and as no choice was possible the convention adjourned, and later on there were two" IVmocr.ttio electoral tickets In the fleM. Historically the two-thtids rule w.is established twelve year before the comontion of 144. tot befoce it was first adopted In the Uallimore conven tion of May, lSSJ, presided over by Gen. Lucas, of Ohio, and It was then engtaftod on I'om viatic u.ace as a future ,:eesr,ti"H. for there vm t;o i otitest m the cv.v- i.ii it, the it. nilna- I tlon of Jacks u being unanimous.

Dtmondale. Mich., we are per mitted to make this extract: "1 have ro hesitation In recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were al most marvelous In the case of my wife.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gener ally needed when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver Is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt.

The two most critical times in a wom an's life are the times w hich make the girl a woman and the woman a mother At these times, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is of Incalculable value. It strengthens and Invigorates the organs distinctly feminine, promotes regularity of the functions, allays irritation anl inflammation, checks unnatural, ex hausting drains, and puts the whole delicate organism into perfect condi tion. Almost all the Ills of woman kind are traceable to some form of what la known as "female complaint." There are not three cases ln a hundred of woman's peculiar diseases that Dr. Pierce's Tavorlte Prescription will not cure.

On this continent and In the tropics, malaria poisons the atmosphere with Its pestilential breath, sowing the seeds of disease and death In every di rection. It Is la such localltlea that the preventive and remedial qualities of Hosteller's Stomach Pitters are most conspicuously shown. For every form of malaria it is a signally efficacious remedy, and conquer disorder of the stomach, liver and bowels, remedies in activity of the kidney, and counteracts the weakness and lark of stamina which invites disease b levelling the barrier which a vigorous operation of the digestive an l secretive org-n op poses to it. No defensive medicine in use has stronger commendation in pro fessional quarters both for purity and remedial qualities. Though the sweeping skirts Is un doubtedly more stylish than the short one. it is likew ise und-niably slovenly.

I fl Declaration of Principles The Republican of the ('tilled States, nesciublcd by their representative lit Xitttotml Convention, appealing for the popular nud historical Justification of tlvir claims to the tnatchlrs achieve ments of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and coiulduutly addrvs themselves to the awakened Intelli gence, experience and voiuclenc. of their countrymen In the following dec Inrntloii of fuels and principles: For the first Hum since the Civil Win' the American people have wit-itcs-io,! the calamitous iHiusetiuence of full nud unrest rained Democratic con tivl of the tlovernment. It has Vvn a recoid of unpntnllt'd Incapacity, ills honor and disaster. In administrative nmiiagi'tncnt It lias ruthbsxly sacrific ed Indlspei.slble revenue, entailed an unceasliig deficit, eked out ordinary uir.nt expense with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by JJttJ.iHM.rtoO III tune t peace, loic.d su adverse bal ance of trade, to a i-rpetul menace banning over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syn dicate, and reversed all the measure and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad rffcvt of Its policy It bus prwlpltated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wanes, hatted enterprise and crip pled American production w bile stlmu lutliit: foreign production for the Amer ican market. Every cotilderatln of public j.if.iy and Individual Interest lemaiuU that the government shall be rekcued from the hands of those who have shown themselve Incapable of conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall he re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with uncpisled succes and prosperity. A l'rotet'tivf Tariff- We renew and emphasize our allegi ance to the policy of protection a the bulwark of American industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Am.r lean development and prosperity. Tills true American policy taxes foreign pro duct and encourage home Industry; it put the burden of revenue on for eign good. It s.-curee th American market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard ot wages for the American worklngman; It puts the factory by the side of the farm, and make the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuse general thrift end founds the strength of all on th strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It Is Just, fair, and Impartial equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monoHily, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism We denounce the present leinoertle tariff us sectional, Injurious to the pub. lie credit und destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable tariff on foreign ltnorts which com. Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect Amrr lean labor from degredatlon to the wage level of other lands We are not pledged to any particular schedule. The question of rates Is a practical question, to be governed by the condi tions of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle Is the protection und development of American labor and Industry. The country demands a right settlement and then It wants rest. Reciirocily With Other Nations. We believe the repeat of the reel proclty arrangement negotiated by the lai-t Republican administration wu a national calamity, am we detnund their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalise our trade with other nations, remove the restriction whU h now obstruct the sale of Amer ban products in the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measure of Republican policy, and go band in hand. Democratic, rule hail recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which we don't produce, reciprocal agreement of mu tual Interest which guln open markets for u In return for our open market lo others. Protection builds up domestic Industry arid trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Protection in Sugar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producer of this country. The Republican party favor uch protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than $100,000,000 annually. Wool anil Woolens. To all our products to those of th mine and tho field, a well a to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well a to the finished woolen of the mill w promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri ok this REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of dlscrimlimtlng duties for tin) iip-lnilUIIng of our merchant marine and (he protection of our shipping In the foreign carrying trade, so that American shipsthe product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yard, sailing undur the Htsr and Htrlpc. and manned, officered and owned by Americans-nmy regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "The Republican parly I unreserv. dly for sound money. It camed the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payment In ISTV; since then every dollar ha been as "od a gold. We are unalterably op pos.d to every measure calculated to de base our cum-noy or Impair the credit of our country. W are, therefore, op posed to th free coinage of sliver, x cept by International agreement with th lending ci'iniuerclul nations of tin world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreennint can be obtained we believe the existing (old standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at u parity with gold, and we favor all measures deslgtpxl to maintain Inviola ble the obligation of the fulled Htatcs, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth." Pensions for Veterans. The veterans of the I'nlon artnle de serve ud should reo.lve fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference In the matter of employ ment, and they are rntltled to the en actment of sucJi law a Ileal calculat ed to scour, the fulfillment of the pledge made to them In the dark day of the country's peril. We denounce the practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by th present administration, of reducing pension and arbitrarily dropping name from (he rolls, as deserving th everest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should 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 he con trolled by the United Stale and no for eign power should tie permllrul to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by the I'nlted Htatee, and by the purchase of th Danish Islands we should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres in Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people, and we believe that the I'nlted tltatei should exercise all the Influence It ran properly exert to bring three atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dancers and American property de stroyed. ,Thr and everywhere Amer ican citizens and. ' American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the t'nulted Ftates to (lv (he doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American state for friendly Inter vention in rase of European encroach ment. We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with th existing possessions of any European power In this hemisphere, but thosa possession must not, on any pretext, he extended, We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, nnd th ultimate union of all the English speaking part of tho continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. - Independence of Cuba- From the hour of achieving lUrtr own Independence the jwople of the, United States )iaV(f, ngarnVd wfthi sympathy the struggle of tither American I 'topics to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep and abld. Ing Interest the heroic battle ot th Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op pression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con test for liberty. The government of Bpaln, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resi dent American citizens or to comply with It treaty obllgatlones, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use Its Influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the repttb- llo and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nations of the earth demand a naval power commen surate with Its position and responsi bility.' We therefore; favor the contin ued enlargement of the navy and a complete system of harbor and sea roast defenses. linmlnrailnn Laws. For the protection of the equality ot our American clllietmhlii slid uf th wage of our workingmen ssalnst th fatal competition of low-priced labor, w demand that Hie Immigration laws be thoroughly rnforoctd, and so otend ed a o exclude from entrance to the I'nlted Htales thosa who van neither read nor writ. Civil Serrhe. The Civil Henire law ws placed on the statute book by the Republican party, which has always sustained It, and we renew our repeated declara tion that It shall be thoroughly and honestly r n forced and extended wher ever practicable. Free llalloi. We demand that every cltlseit of I he I'nlted Hlalo shall b allowed lo cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such, ballot shall be counted and ret in lied a vast. L)tlcllll,4 Clllllll'lliniil. We proclaim our uniiialiried coinlem nation of the uncivilised and barbarous practice, well known as lynching or killing of human tulngs, suspected or charged with rrlme, without process of law. National Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration lo settle and ad Just difference which may arlee be tween employer and employed engaged In Interstate commerce. Free Homesteads. W believe In an Immediate return to the free homestead policy of the I'.epublloao party and urge the passage by congre. of th satisfactory free) homestead measure which has already passed the house and Is now pending In the senate. AdmlsMoo of Terrltorke W favor the admission of th re maining territories at the earliest prac ticable date, having du regard to th Interest of the people uf the territo ries and of the I'nlted States. All th federal officers apioltiled for the terrl- torle shall be selected from bona fid resident thereof, and the right of self- government shall be acorded as far as practicable. Alaska Representation. W believe the rltlsen of Alaska should have representation In the Con gress of the I'nlted Htates.to the end that needful legislation may be lutein gently enacted, , Sumptuary Legislation. We sympathise with all wise and le gitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of temperance and promote morality. i i ,, i V ; Rights of Women. Th Republican party la mindful of the rights and Interest of women. Pro tection ii f American Industries Includes equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work and protection to the home. We favor th admlssioif of women to wider spheres bf 'usefulness', and' welcome their co-operation In rescuing the coun try fyoro nemocrallc and PsuiiiKt mUW management and misrule. Huch are th principles and policies of the Republi can party. Ily these principles we will abide and these principle we will put InU exvcutioD. . Vp ak for them the considerate Judgment of the American people. Confident alike In the history of our great party nnd In tho Justice of our cause, we present bur platform und our considerations.
