How can Mr. Hammond expect Asto

In elevators, sawmills, etc., when they

The report that the Missouri dele
gates to the Populist convention are
opposed to the endorsement or nomina
tion of Bryan must have a chilling ef
feet on the cabinet aspirations of Gov
ernor Stone,
As chairman of the Democratic na
tional committee, if there Is any such
organisation extant today. Senator
Jones I engaged In a very queer busi
ness at SL Louis In lobbying for the
endorsement of Democratic candidates
by a rival political party.
If there la any misunderstanding be
tween the county court and the Asto
ria council about the object of the
recent donation of J1000 out of the
road fund paid to the city, the only
honest course for the city to pursue Is
to pay the money back.
The London Chronicle says: "The
Chicago convention has justified the
expectations of its worst enemies. The
financial condition of Argentina and
Greece is a paradise compared with
what would be the condition of the
United States ahould the free silver
party come Into office. If so colossal
a catastrophe as the election of a
flver president occurred. America
would be brought face to face, first,
with a financial panic, and. second.
with civil war."
Sound money Democrats, and all
real Democrats who wish to rebuke
the Populists and Anarchists who stole
the Democratic convention, instead of
dividing, and thereby weakening, thelr
forces, should unite on McKInley, who
represents honest money, all state
ments to the contrary notwithstand
ing. Such an action on their part
would be by no mean without prece
dent, for w-e have the historic and no
ble example of the "War Democrats"
m the crisis of 1S6L who. forgetting
party ties, came unreservedly to the
support of the national authorities.
There are a good many Republican
m the First Congress district of Ne
braska, and when William J. Bryan,
Anarchist candidate for the presiden
cy, ran there in he was elected by
140 votes, the entire ballot being as
follows: Bryan. Democrat, 13.7M: Al
lan W. Field. Republican, 13.M4: K.
"W. Maxwell. Populist. ?S3; and Jerome
Shuunp, Independent. !.49. In 1884,
Jesse B. Strode. Republican, was elect
ed to congress In this district by a
majority of 5.457, over his Democratic
competitor. Mr. Bryan's speeches do
not seem to have been effective in
convincing the voters in his own dis
trict "Recent events havj imposed u: ; n
"the patriotic people of this country a
"responsibility and a duty greater
"than that of any since the civil war.
"Then It was a struggle to preserve

"Our trouble is not wtlh the character
"of the money we have, but with the
"threat to debase it." William Mc
KInley. The statistics of immigration Just
published for the year ending June 30,
show an unusually large number of
Illiterates among the arrivals. Of the
sixty-three thousand who came from
Italy more than thirty thousand, or
nearly one-half of the whole number,
could neither read nor write, while
more than a third of the twenty
three thousand Hungarians landed
were equally Illiterate. This Is an il
lustration of the'importanee of the Im
migration plank adopted by the St.
Xtuis platform, and ought to com
Miftid the Republican candidates to
thousands of voters who appreciate
the necessity for congressional action
in this particular. Desirable immi
grant always have been wlecomed,
but this country Is not to be made
the dumping ground of the riff-raff
and ignorant masse which Europe
wants to get rid of. Our law already
draw the line at criminals, lunatics
and paupers. Why should It not also
be drawn at illiterates? Ability to
read and wrlle is essential to become
an latelllgei.t voter and a rtJ cltl
len. Immigrants who do not meet the
requirement are not wanted. And the
Rpuebllcan party has shown its good
sense and maintained ita reputation
for the vlror w ith which It reaches out
to ftrasp every rlslnR public question
by the declaration made in th ft.
LouU platform.
The congressional election this year
will assume a significance which they
have not had since the war. On their
result will depend whether the lower
branch of the next congress la to he
controlled by silver fanatics and Pop
pllst or by sound money men. The
Importance of this question cannot be
overestimated, since on Us determina
tion must hang the character of the
financial legislation of the next con
gress. Even should th sllv.rltea suc
ceed it electing the'r r:vMenttal ,
et they could not carry cut their finan
cial heresies without the co-operatr-n
of consTess. while on the other hand,
even a sound money president would
have only the veto power to ward off
dangerous financial legislation if con
gress should fall Into the clutches of
the sllwrltes. The battle for the gold
standard will therefore be waged vig
orously in every congressional district
with the determination of electing a
sound money majority lo the Tiouse.

Declaration of Principles
Th Republican of th (.'lilted State.
Awmhlcd by their representatlv In
National Convention, appealing for th
popular and historical Justification of
their claim to the matfliles achieve
ment of thirty years of Republican
rule, eiiriifntly and confidently address
themselves lo the awakeilml llitrHI
Kent's', rxperlt noe and conscience of
their countrymen In the following df
liinilliin of fuc l a and principles:
For the flint time slixe the Civil
nr the American peoplt have w It
nested the cnlnniltou consequence of
full and uiiivmi allied Democratic con
trol of the tlovcintiienl. It ha been
a rccoid of uiipainllrsl Incapacity, dis
honor ami disaster. In administrative
niaiiHKemeiit It has rtuhlnnly acrlllc
ed Indltqirtisilhle revenue, entailed an
unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary
current expenses with borrowed money,
piled up the public debt by IJSi.OOO.OOO
111 time of peace, forced an adverse bal
ance of trade, to a perpetual menace
hanging over the redemption fund,
pawned American credit to alien syn
dicate and reversed all the measure
and result of successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect of It policy
It has precipitated panic, blighted In
dustry and tradK with prolonged de
pression, closed frti'torles. reduced work
and wages, halted enterprise and crip
pled American production while tlmu
luting foreign production for th Amer
ican market. Kvery consideration of
public safety and Individual Interest
demand that the government shall be
rescued from the hands ot those who
have shown themselve Incapable of
conducting It without disaster at horn
and dishonor abroad, and shall be re
tored to the party which for thirty
years administered It with uneqnalej
success and prosperity.
A Proterilvf Tarifl.
We renew and emphasli our allegi
ance to the policy ot protection as th
bulwark ot American Industrial Inde
pendence and the foundation of Amer
ican development and prosperity. Thl
true American policy taxe foreign pro
duct and encourage home industry
it put the burden of revenue on for
elgn goods. It secure th American
market for the American producer: It
uphold the American standard ot
wage for the American worklngman;
It put the factory by the side of the
farm, and make the American farmer
lut dependent on foreign demand and
price; It diffuses general thrift and
found the (trength ot all on the
strength of each. In It reasonable ap
plication It Is Just. fair, and Impartial
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, to sectional dis
crimination and Individual favoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic
tariff a sectional, Injurious to tha pub
lic credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tariff on foreign Imports which com
Into competition with American pro
ducts a will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expense of
the government, but will protect Amer
lean labor from degradation to th
wage level of other lands. We art) not
pledged to any particular schedule,
The question of rates Is a practical
question, to be governed by the condl
tlons of the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
li the protection and development of
American labor and Industry. Th
country demands a right settlement
and then It wants rest.
Reciprocity With Other Nations
We believe the repeal of the reel
proclty arrangements negotiated by the
I a. si li' publican administration waa a
national culurnlty, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equalize our trade with
other nations, remove the restriction
which now obstruct the sal of Amer
lean products In the ports of other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets of our farms, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy, and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule han
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 gain open market
for us in return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
Industry and trade and secure our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and find an
outlet for our surplus. '
Protection to Sugar Producers.
We condemn the present administra
tion for not keeping faith with th
sugar producer of thia country. The
Republican party favor such protec
tion as will lead to the production on
American soil of all the ugar the
American people use, and for which
they pay other countries more than
1100,000,000 annually.

The Financial Issue.
"Th Republican party I unreserv.
dly for sound inonsy. It caused th
enactment of th law providing for the
resumption of specie payments In l?v;
since then every dollar ha been a
good a gold. W are unalterably op
posed to every meaatir calculated to de
base our currency or Impair th credit
of our country. W are, therefore, op
pose! to the free coinage of sliver, ex
cept by International agreement with
the leading commercial nations of the
world, which we pledg ourselves to
promote, and until uch agreement ran
be obtained w believe th sxlstlng
gold standard must b preserved. All
our silver and paper currency now In
circulation must tie maintained at a
parity with gold, "and w favor all
measures designed to maintain Inviola
ble the obligation of th 1'nlte.l
State, and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present slandatd, the
standard of th most rnllghteiird na
tions of th earth."
Pensions for Veterans.
The veterans of th Cnlon armies de
serve and should receive fair treatment
and geiierou recognition. Whnvr
practical)! they ahould be given th
preference In the matter of employ
ment, and they are entitled to tha en
actment of such law a best calculat
ed to secure the fulfillment of th
pledges mad to them In th dark day
of th country' peril. W denounce
the practice of the pension bureau o
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
the present administration, of reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from th roll, a deserving th
severe! condemnation ot th American
people.
Foreign Relations.
Our foreign policy should be at all
time firm, vigorous and dignified, and
all our interest In the western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
Th Hawaiian Islands should be con
trolled by th 1'nlted State and no for
eign power ahould be pernittetd to In
terfere with them. Th Nicaragua
Canal ahould be built, owned and op
erated by th United State, and by
the purchase of th Danish Island w
should secure a proper and much-needed
naval station In th West Indie.
Armenian Massacres.
The massacre In Armenia hav
aroused the deep sympathy and Just
Indignation of the American people,
and we believe that tha United State
ahould exercise all th Influence It ran
properly exert to bring these atrocities
to an end. In Turkey. American resi
dents have been exposed to the gravest
danger and American property de
stroyed. There and everywhere Amer
ican rltlien and American property
must he absolutely protected at all
hazard and at any cost.
Monroe Doctrine.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine In
Its full extent and reaffirm the right of
the Unulted State to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals of
any American state for friendly Inter
vention In case of European encroach
ment. We have not Interfered, and
shall not Interfere, with the existing
possessions of any European power In
this hemisphere, but those possessions
must not, on any pretext, be extended.
We hopefully Iwk forward to the
eventual withdrawal of the European
power from thl hemisphere, and the
ultimate union of all the English-
