THE ONLY SURE ROAP TO PROS
PERITY. In the period before lsW. when we
bad what Is called the bimetallic sys
tem of finance, wages were uniformly
low and It was only at rare intervals
that prosperity was general and these
were times when there was a fair de
gree of protection. After the period of
war inflation and under a protective
tariff that fostered Industrial develop
ment and made a demand for laVr at
Increasing wages there was an era of
prosperity, but it was not comparable
with a later time, say from lv0 to
when wages had still further advanced
and the industries of the country had i
been greatly expanded. Taking 100 in
1S60 as the basis of comparison, wages
tn 1ST3 had advanced to Hv3 and in
1531 to 160.7, while Its purchasing power
bad increased much more. In the
meanwhile the sources of demand for
labor were greatly augmented, so that
for about ten years preceding 193 there
was very little unemployed labor in
the country and that was the most
progressive and prosperous in our his
tory. It was also a period, be it re
membered, of protection and the sold
standard. A comparison of the decade
between 1SSS and 1SSJ will show that
there was a greater industrial growth,
a larger expansion of domestic and for
eign commerce, a fuller employment
and better remuneration of labor and
a greater accumulation of savings of
labor than In any other ten years of
American history. It was the period of
our very greatest prosperity.
The demand of American labor to
day Is abundant work and good pay In
sound money. It ought to be obvious
to every intelligent worklngman that
this is not to be had by revolutionizing
our financial system. Free sliver would
not bring Industrial revival or create
n addtlonal demand for labor. On
the contrary it would produce disorder
and lessen the opportunities of labor,
while reducing the purchasing power of
fts earnings one-half. It ought to be
apparent to producers also that they
can expect no permanent benefit from
a policy which would injure rather
than advance the interests of labor. If
the purchasing power of the wage
earners is cut down one-half the effect
n consumption of the products of the
farm and factory will be serious and
prosperity under such a state of af
fairs impossible.
What, then, is required to give pros
perity? Manifestly a return to the pol
icy which gave industrial activity and
made a market for labor. The country
needs a Judicious system of protection
which will assure American manufac
turers the home market wlthouf having
to reduce labor to European standards.
Free silver means financial and indus
trial disorder and demoralization, from
which labor would be the chief sufferer.
Protection and the gold standard mean
and this has been demonstrated
financial confidence, industrial devel
opment, work for all the people, and
national and Individual prosperity. One
would be a rash and most perilous ex
periment. The other is supported ny
the substantial results of years of
trial.
How will the free coinage of silver
help the poor man? The farmer, the
mechanic, the business man whose
money is all in his stock of goods, or
the day laborer? Who owns the silver
ooflion? Who would have It coln'-d if
the law passed? Who would receive
the bright new silver dollars as they
came from the mints? Would the men
who dig in the mines for so much a
day have it? Have any of the farmers,
merchants, mechanics or laborers any
silver bullion they want coined? Do
not the rich men own the silver mines
and the tmelters, and do they not own
all the ore and bullion in the world?
If they get it coined free of charge
will they give any of us the new dol
lars? Will they Invest it in any kind
of business that will not pay them four
or five per cent profit? Will they loan
as any of it unless we give them good
security and eight or ten per cent in
terest? If they cannot Invest their
sew dollars so as to make a profit on
them what will they do with them?
Will they put them away In bank
vaults along with the Idle millions al
ready there? If they do, how will
we'uns be any better off If all the silver
in the world Is coined Into dollars at 18
to 1, or any other ratio?
The common Idea that free silver
must be a good thing for the poor man
because those who have money in
vested otherwise than In silver don't
want It, finds expression in the inquiry
why banks and saving funds and In
surance companies object to the law,
It it would enable them to pay their
depositors or policy holders In cheaper
money than they paid In. That fidu
ciary Institutions should be glad of an
opportunity to cheat their creditors
seem perfectly natural and proper to
the silver advocate. Yot If these peo
ple would stop to consider a moment
they would remember that these con
cerns do not, to a large extent, keep
the money entrusted to them locked
up In their valuta. It la diffused all
through the community. The banks
lend out the greater part of It to busi
ness men. and the savin funds and
Insurance eontantos invest it In varl
ous securltes. It Is sound money that
they have Invested; If they are paid
hack In cheap money that is the kind
they must pay their creditors In turn.

rescued from the hands of those who
have shown themselves Incapable of
conducting It without disaster at home
and dishonor ubroad, and shall b re
stored to the party which for thirty
years administered It with une.pialed
success and prosperity
A Protective Taritl.
We renew and emphasis our allegl
anoe to the policy of protection a th
bulwark of American Industrial Inde
pendenc and th foundation of Amer
ican development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro
ducts and encourages hotn Industry;
it puts the burden of revenue on for
elgn goods. It secure Ih American
market for the American producer; It
upholds the American standard of
wages for the American worklngman;
It puts the factory by the side of the
farm, and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price; It diffuses general thrift and
founds the strength nf all on th
strength of earh. In Us reasonable ap
plication It is Just, fair, and Impartial,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monoHly, to sectional dis
crimination and Individual favoritism
We denounce the present Democratic
tariff ils sectional, Injurious to the pub
lie credit and destructive to business
enterprise, We demand such equitable
tariff on foreign Imports which com
Into competition with American pro
ducts as will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expenses uf
the government, but will protect Amer
ban labor from ib-gredatlon to the
wage b vcl of other lands We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question of rate Is a practical
question, to be governed by the condl
lions 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
and then It wants rest.
Hi'fiirm iiy With inluT atlon.
We believe the repeal of the reel
proolty arrangements negotiated by th
last Republican administration was a
national calamity, and we demand
their 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, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy, and go
hand In hand, Democratic rule ban
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
others. Protection builds up domestic
inuusiry anu trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trnde nnd finds an
outlet for our surplus,
Protection to Sugar Producers.
We condemn the present administra
tion for not keeping faith with the
sugar producers of this country. The
Republican party favors such protec
tion as will lead to tho production on
American soil of all the sugar the
American people use, and for which
they pay other countries more than
1100,000,000 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.

Pcibluns for Veterans.
Th veterans nf th I'nlon armies de
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should bo given th
preference In the matter of employ
ment, and they are entitled to th en
actment of such laws a best calculat
ed to secure the fulfillment uf th
pledge mad to them In the dark days
of th country's peril. We denounce
th praetlc 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 Ih
severest condemnation of Ih American
people.
Foreign Relations.
Our foreign policy should be st all
tlma firm, vigorous and dignified, and
all our Interest In the western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
Th Hawaiian Island should be con
trolled by the United State and no for
eign power should be permllctd to In
terfere with them. The Nicaragua
Canal should be built, owned and op.
crated by the United States, and by
the purchase of the Danish Islands we
should secure a proper and inuch-need-ed
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 United States
should exercise all the Influence II can
properly exert to bring these atrocities
to an end. In Turkey, American resi
dents have been exposed to th gravest
dangers and American property de
stroyed. There ami everywhere Amer
ican citizens and American property
must be absolutely protocted at all
hazards and at any cost.
Monroe Doctrine.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine In
Its full extent and reaffirm the right of
the 1'nullrd States to glvo thu doctrine

uny American stute for friendly Inter
vontlon In rase of Kitmpcnn encroach
ment. We have not Interfered, and
shall not Interfere, with the existing

W o hopefully look forward to the
eventual withdrawal nf the European
powers from this hemisphere, nnd the

Independence of Cuba.
From the hour of achieving their own
Independence the people of the United
Btntes have regarded with sympathy
the struggles of other American peoples
to free themselves from Kuropean dom
ination. We watch with deep and abid
ing Interest the heroic battlo of tho 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 pence 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 common
surate with Its position and responsi
bility. We therefore favor the contin
ued enlargement ot the navy and a

Immigration Laws.

and we renew our repealed declara
