THE SUF- The millionaires, bankers, specula tors and gamblers In values can adjust themselves to new conditions with much greater ease and less sacrifice than any of our Industrial classes. A change from an honest to a degraded money system would be a calamity to all conditions of the American people, but those who can best protect them selves are the men who possess capital. They may lose by the reduction of values, but they will lose much less than the people of moderate means, while the class that must suffer most would be those whose capital li en tirely in their labor. The one class of our people who should be at the forefront of the battle for honest money is the class com monly denominated as workin?men. There is not a man who lives by the m m. 1a fmmma rAa fi hto rlailv 1 bor, 'who would not be the greatest of all sufferers by the degredation of our money to She standard 't the free sil ver countries cf tV- vu.1l. The ir. st prosperous free silver country is Mex ico, and the wages paid for labor there ar less than the wages paid In the goli standard country that pays the cheapest wages if any of the civilised governments. Wherever the silver standard is ac cepted, labor is paid less wages than in the poorest of the gold standard countries. As compared with this country, the average wages paid in Mexico are not one-fourth what Is paid fa the United States. The nominal wagew in Mexico are not one-half as high as the average in the United States, and Mexican wages are paid In silver dollars that would purchase Just naif as much as the American dollar as long as the government maintains silver equal to gold. The acceptance of the silver standard in this country, that must Inevitably follow the free and unlimited coinage of silver, would reduce the purchasing value of our money Just one-half, and unless the wages of labor were fully doubled, the worklngmen of the coun try would not receive the same com pensation their labor now commands. In no country that has gone from the gold to the sliver standard has labor ever increased In value as much as 50 per cent, while the actual cost of all the necessaries of life Is Increased from one to 200 per cent, and this eountry would not be an exception to the rule. The worklngmen would be tompelled to pay $2 for the necessaries f life which they can now buy for $1. Their wages would be little increased, and no free silver employer would dream of Increasing the nominal wages of labor under the cheap money system as much as 50 gr cent. Ex-Governor Boles, of Iowa, one of the largest farmers In the state, de fined the silver theory with appalling frankness. He gave two reasons for the free coinage of silver and the ac- ceptance of the silver standard. The flnt t to enable the farmers to ty their mortgage at M cent on the dol lar; the second was that It would cheapen the price of farm labor nearly one-half, and unless farm labor lia.H be cto-apened farmer cannot prosper In low.

A preparation which is adapted to the relief and cure of ailments to which members of a household is most subject, and which is not only al leged to do this, but has long and un failingly proved its ability to do It, assuredly deserves the title of a relia ble Family Medicine.

Declaration of Principles The Krptibllciis of th I'nlled Hint, assembled by their representative In National Convention, appealing for th uipulnr and historical Justification of Ho Ir claims to the matchless achieve mom of thirty years of Republican rule, clinically and confidently nddrca tliemnelve to the awakened Intelll grtire, .i xpei lenco and conscience of their coiinlo men In th following dec lanitloii of fuel and principles: For the tit mi time sliten the Civil War the American people have ll ncn.iod the ciilrtitiltotis consequence of full and unrestrained IVinooratle con trol of the tioveinment. It has been a rcvotd of uiipntullcd Incapacity, dis honor and ilUiialer. In administrative nmnagemcnt It hu rulhbssly sacrlllc ed Ilidlxp.T.slMe revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary eurr. lit expenses Willi boirowed money, piled up the public debt by IMJ.tHW.OUO In time of peace, forced an advers bal ance of trade, to a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syn dicates anil reversed all th measure and results of succeoful Republican rule. In the broad effect of It policy It has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, hnlted enterprise and crip pled American production while etlmu luting foreign production for the Amer ican market. Every consideration of public safety ami Individual Interest demands that the government hall be rescued from the hand of those who have shown themselves lucapabl of conducting It without dlsaater at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be re stored to the party which for thirty year administered It with unequaled success and prosperity. A PwlfviUf Taritt. We renew and emphasli our allegi ance to the policy of protection a th bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and proaperlty. Till true American policy 'axe foreign pro duct and encourage horn lndutry; it put the burden of revenue on for eign goods. It secures th American market for the American producer: It uphold the American standard of wage for the American worklngmen; It put the fuctory by th aid of th farm, and make the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuse general thrift and founds the streugth of all on th strength of each. In It reasonable ap plication It la just, fair, and Impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. W denounce the present Democratic tariff as r.ectlonal. Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable (arid on foreign Imports which come Into competition with American pro ducts a will not only furnlih adequate revenue for the necessary expenae of the government, but will protect Amer ican labor from degredation to th wage level of other land. W are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates Is a practical question, to he governed by th condi tions of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle Is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The country demands a right settlement ami then It wants rest. Reciprocity With Oilier Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arrangem'tits negotiated by th la:,t Republican administration was a national calnmlty, and we demand tlu'lr renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican products In the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forest and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand In hand. Democratic rule has 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 agreements of mu tual Interest which gain open markets for us in return for our open market to othisrs. Protection builds up domestic Industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and find an outlet for our surplus. Pr.tectlon fo Sugar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with th sugar producers of this country. Th Republican party favor such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar th Americart people use, and for which they pay other countries more than $100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the field, as well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri- Or TIIK REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for the up-building of our merchant marine ami th protection of our shipping In th foreig carrying trade, in that American hlp-tlw product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yards, inlllug under th Slurs and Htrlpes, and manned, otttcered and owned by American may regain th currying nf our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "Th Republican party I unreaerv. edly for sound money. It cuuaed the enactment of th law providing for the resumption of specie payment In 1ST9; luce then every dollar ha been as good a gold. W are unalterably op posed to every mvasur calculated lo de base our currency or Impair th riedlt of our country. We are, therefore, op ponod lo th free coinage of silver, ex cept by International agreement with th leading commercial nation of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained we believe th existing (old (tandard must be preserved. All our silver and paper cuirency now In circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measure designed lo maintain Inviola ble the obligation of th t'nltwl Stale, and all our money, whether coin or t aper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth." Pensions for Veterans. Th veterans of th Union armlra de serve and should rocelv fair treatment and generous recognition. Whtnvr practicable they should b given th preference In th matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to the en actment of such law a bet calculat ed to secure th fulfillment of th pledgee mad to them In th dark day of th country's peril. W denounce th practice of th pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by th present administration, of reducing pension and arbitrarily dropping names from th rolls, as deserving th severest condemnation of th American peopl. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all times firrn, vlgorou and dignified, and alt our Interests In th western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands should be con trolled by th United State and no for eign power should be permltetd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by the United State, and by the purchase of the Danish Island w should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indie. Armenian Massacres. The massacre In Armenia hav aroused th deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American peopl, and we believe thai the United States should exercise all the Influence It ran properly exert to bring the atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American real dents have been exposed to the graveat danger and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican cltlsens and American property must be absolutely protected at all hazard and at any cost. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In It full extent and reaffirm th right of the t'nulted States to give the doetrln effect by responding to till appeals of any American state for friendly Inter vention In rase of European encroach ment. We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power In this hemlsphete, but those possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to tho eventual withdrawal of th European power from thl hemisphere, and the ultimate union of all the English speaking part of tho continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Indcppndence of Culia. From tho hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep and abid ing Interest the heroic battle of the 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 Spain, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resi dent American citizens or to comply with Its 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 repub lic 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 coast defense, Iiiimkralloii Laws. For the iTotectlvn of th equality of our American rllUenslilp and vf th wage of our wtirklnginen against th fatal competition of low-priced labor, we demand that I he Immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed a to exclude from entrance to th fulled Statea those who rait neither lend nor write, Civil Service. The Civil Service law was placed on th slatut book by th ItepuhllcSJt party, which has always sustained It, and ue renew our repeated declara tions that II shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Freellallot. We demand that tvery clilsen of th United State shall be allowed lo cst one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned a cast. I.jnclll i ('lUlilt'llKU'll. V proclaim our unqualified condem nation of th uni lvllU. d and barbaMU practices, well known a lynching or killing of human being, auspecled or charged with crime, without proves of law. National Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to Belli and ad Just difference which may aria be tween employer and employed engaged In Interstate commerce. Free Hnniesteails. We bellev in (it Immedlat return to th free homestead policy of th Republican party and urge th passage by congress of th (atlafactory free homestead measure which has already passed th house and I now pending In th nat. Admission of Territories. W favor th admission of th re mafnlng territories at th earliest prac ticable date, having du regard to th Interest of th people of th territo ries and of th United State. All th federal officer appointed for th terri tories shall be (elected from bona fid resident thereof, and th right of self government shall be acordej as far as practicable. Alaska Representation. We believe th clilsen of Alaska should hav representation In the con gress of the United States.to th end that needful legislation may be Intelli gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. W sympathise with all wis and I- gltln ate effort to lessen and prevent the evil of Intemperance and proinct morality. Rights of Women. The Republican party 1 mindful of tht right and Interest of women. Pro tection of American Industrie Includes equal opportunities, equul pay for equal work and protection to the home. W favor the admission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and welcome their co-operation In reselling th coun try from Democratic and 1'opullst mis management and misrule. Such nr th principle and policies of the Republi can party. By these principles we will abide and these principles we will put Into execution. We nsk for them the considerate Judgment of tho American people. Confident nllke In the history of our great party and In the Justice of our cause, we present our platform and our considerations, In the full assurance that the election will bring victory to the Republican parly and prosperity to the people of the United States. A YEAR AND A HALF AGO the Burlington Route's New Short Lino to the East and South was opened for business. During these 18 month thousands of travelers have patronized It and by so doing have not on ly saved much valuable time but have gained new ideas of how a railroad should be run. They have learned, among other things, that Burlington trains are al ways on time; that the Burlington's track Is In- comparably superior to any other In the West; that the phrase Comfort, Speed and Safety means something on the Bur lington.
