nt Third street,
Mr. William A. Carney, first vice
president of the Amalgamated Associa
Uon of Iron and Steel Workers, was
the spokesman of a delegation which
recently visited Major MeKlnley. In
the cours of his address Mr. Carney
aid: "I am a worklngman and know
the hard worktngmen of this country
will not be carried away by the bal
loon 1st 8 In this campaign. I know and
they know that no matter whether we
have fifty billion dollars in silver or
ne dollar, to get money we must earn
tt by honest toll and when we get It
we want it to be equal to the beat
in the world." Here Is a man w ho has
evidently given this subject Intelligent
consideration and has arrived at the
cnly conclusion that such consideration
can lead to, -which Is that coining silver
free 'for the proilucers of silver w HI I
give nothing to the masses who labor
for a living. They must 'continue to
toil for what they get. though silver
dollars were piled as high as Ossa.
They have no bullion to take to the
mint Their capital Is their labor. The
only commodity they have to sell is
their ability to work and when they
offer this in the market they want to
receive for It the best money there is
and not debased currency of uncertain
value from week to week. They want
dollars of the greatest purchasing pow
er, dollars which if laid aside for the
"rainy day" will not shrink and depre
date, dollars which will not rob them
and their families while they sleep, dol
lars that do not deceive and lie to
them, dollars that are good everywhere.
Mr. Carney Is right, and the work
tn groan who will not heed his counsel
is blind to his own Interests. Free
silver holds out no promise of benefit
to labor. It will not start up the in
dustries of the country or create a de
mand for work for the hundreds of
thousands who are idle. On the con
trary the Inauguration of that policy
would produce conditions more disas
trous to labor than any yet experienc
ed. The loss and privation which the
millions of workln? people in this land
have suffered from the effects of Dem
ocratic tariff policy would sink into in
significance in comparison with what
would follow the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
MR. BLAINE'S RECORD SET RIGHT
The attempts of Bryan and other
PopocraUc orators as well as of Popo
cratlc committees to falsify trte record
of James G. Blaine on the silver ques
tion by the use of garble 1 extracts
from the speech he deliv-ied in t:ie
senate on February 7, 1S78, has created
an extraordinary demand among Re
publicans in all parts of the country
for copies of the speech Itself. In par
tial response to this demand the Re
publican congress committee issued
several hundred thousand copies some
time ago, but the number was found
to be utterly Inadequate, and an order
has now been given for the printing of
a round million copk-s the !ars-at or
der that was ever giv-n f'T a single
document by any politi'a! committee.
If this number is found insuificb-nt
more will be printed. Mr. Bryan and
his supporters will be made to realize
before ht end of the campaign that
they mad" a cnvius nni rljsa?trous '
mistake when they attempted to falsify
the record and misrepresent the atti
tude of Mr. Blaine on the silv-r iues
tion. It seems strange that any man
U wam not a political idiot should!
have made sv.'h an aiu-mpt. In the J
course of the. ?pe-h referred to Mr.
Blaine said:
"At the current rates of silver the
free coinage of a dollar ontain: n
j grains, worth in irolil a',.u! l-J
tents, gives an ille-itiin.ite pro;.t 'o the
owner of the bullion, enabling hini to
take cents' v.ort'i of it to th- mint
and get it stampe.i as coin are! force
his neighbor to take it f a full dollar.
This is an undue, an unfair advantage
which the government has no right to
give the owners of silver bullion arid
which defrauds the man who is forced
to take the dollar. Evidently the first
dictate of prudence is to coin suth a
dollar as will not only do Justice among
our citizens at home, but will prov- a
protection an absolute barricade
against the gold monometallists of Eu
rope who, when the opportunity oilers,
will quickly draw from us the one hun
dred and sixty millions of gold coin
which we now hold. If we coin a sil
ver dollar of full legal tender, obviously
below the current value of the gold dol
lar, we are opening wide our d'ors. and
inviting Europe to take our gold. With
our gold (lowing from us we will be
forced to the single silver standard,
and our relations with the leading com
mercial countries of the world will be
not only embarrassed, but crippled. It
will' assuredly follow that If we give
free coinage to this dollar of Inferior
value and put It in circulation at the
expense of our better coinage In gold,
and unless we expect the uniform and
Invariable experience of other nations
to be In some mysterious way suspend
ed for otir peculiar benefit, we will In
evitably lose ovir gold coin. It will How
out from us with the certainty and ttie
force of the tides."
Mr. Ulntne was opposing and arguing
airalnst the coinage of S2-cvnt silver
dollar. If he were alive today what
would he say about the proposition for
..$6.00 i , j,,, f,v n,i unlimited coinage of eS
.. .50 0l,Mt .ioi'.urs. rvtiuMlcs of the aid or
.. . consent of any other nation on earth?"
On February li, lvTS, Mr. Rlaluc of
fered an amendment to the Ula ne-Alll-s
1,1 lull. I'll i.lnti! that the silver dollar
to Ih coined should contain 4?? grains
instead of li;1? stains of standard sil
ver, llis amendment was rejected, and
he voted against the bill which provid
ed for the limited coinage of yj-cent
silver dollars.
RAILWAY MKN
Hallway Aire.
Alrea.ly ;:oo Hallway Men's Sound
Money Clubs have boon organised in
the United States all the way from
California to Massachusetts an I they
have for their members UV.oAi railway
employes,
Mr. Itryan. the free silver candidate
for the presidency, attacks and ridi
cules the club. He says that you are
being driven'
ganixlng.
and "coerced" Into or-
Thereby he Insults the Intelligence
and the manhood of every railway
man. Are- they cowards the railway
men of the country that any man
should talk of "driving" them to the
polls? Are you children, to be led
away by such boy talk as this?
Here Is no question of Influence or
what any president or manager may
think. It Is a question for your own
reason and your own conscience a
question of your own wages.
The presidents and managers of the
railways of the country are almost
unanimously opposed to free silver. Let
us be thankful for it and proud thank
ful and proud that, when the crisis
arose and the country's honor was at
stake, the men In charge of the rail
waysthe men who are over you and
wjth vuwer) f(uml aim,wt to nian
arrayed against repudiation and In
defense of the nation's prosperity and
the nation's honor.
It is good, most good, for every
worker on a railway to know that for
once at least all railway men. from
presidents to laborers, are shoulder
to shoulder in a common cause. But
talk of your being "driven" Is only an
Insult which dishonors him who offers
it. It can only intensify the resolu
tion of every' railway man to reject
the shameful doctrines which have to
be supported by such unworthy argu
ments. Every sliver orator proclaims that
free coinage w ill make all prices high
er. This Is the essence of their creed.
With this glittering bait they hope to
delude the farmer into voting for the
country's disgrace.
But what will higher prices profit
you? Do you wish everything you buy
to cost you more? How- will you be
better off If every dollar of your wages
will only purchase one-half of what It
purchases today? Take the silver men
at their word. They promise you
"cheap dollars" and "expensive goods."
Have you need of either?
No. Some people may foolishly sup
pose that they can prosper if the coun
try Is ruined. But with you and every
wage-earner your interests and the
nation's are the same. A debased and
cheapened dollar means the country's
shame It also means the robbery of
the wage earner and the payment of
labor in half-priced wages.
Organize, therefore. P.eswit the slur
that is cast on your independence. Or
ganize for sound money. Join the
nearest club. Go out and convert your
neighbors. It is for your own protec
tion you are fighting. Organize and
vork.

Declaration of Principles
The Republican of tlx fulled State,
assembled by their ifpiofulullvra In
National t'onvcuilun, appculluii for th
popular and historical Juatirtcatbm of
their claims to the matchless achieve
ment of (hilly )cl of Republican
rule, catncMl nnd confidently addrrs
themselves to the awakened lutein
e.Micc. cxpci li nee and conscience of
their couiilt'.x men III lltf follow In dec
liilutlen of facts ami principle:
For the lust i lino since the Civil
War the American peopl hv wit
nessed the calamitous consequencr of
full and unrestrained Democratic con
Irol of the tioveinment. U has been
a rccoid of uiiptii illicit Incapacity, dis
honor and disaster. In administrative
muiiugement It has riithbasly sacrific
ed Indlspc nslhlo ii'vetiue, entailed an
unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary
current expense with Imirowthl money,
piled up the public debt by $:J.ik.t.W
In time of peace, forced an advene bal
ance, of trade, to a perpetual incline
huttgln, over the redemption fund,
pawned American credit to alien yn
dlcates and reversed all the measure
and results of successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect of Its policy
It has precipitated panic, blliihted In
dustry and trade with prolonged de
pression, closed factories, reduced work
and wage, halted enterprise and crip
pled American production nhit (tliuu
lating foreign production for the Amer
ican market. F.very consideration of
public safety and Individual Interest
demands that the government shall b
rescued from the hands of those who
have shown themselves Incapable of
conductlnc It without disaster at horn
and dishonor abroad, and shall be re
stored to the party which for thirty
years administered It with uneipialed
success and prosperity
A rrotci'tivp Turin.
We renew and emphasli our alleel
ance to th policy of protection a th
bulwark of American Industrial Inde
pendence and the foundation of Amer
ican development and prosperity. This
true American policy axe foreign pro
ducts and encourage home Industry;
it puts the burden of revenue on for
eign goods. It secure th American
market for the American producer; It
upholds the American standard of
wages for the American worklncman;
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 and
founds the strength of all on the
strenrth of each. In Its 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 IWtnocratlc
tariff as sectional. Injurious to the pub
lic credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tariff on foreign lmMirts which come
Into competition with American pro
duct as will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expense of
the government, but will protect Amer
ican labor from dcgredatlon to th
wage level of other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question of rates Is a practical
question, to be governed by the condi
tion of the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
Is the protection and development of
American labor and Industry. The
country demand a right settlement
and then It wants rest.
Reciprocity Willi Oilier Nations.
We believe the repeal of the reci
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Ri publican admlnlsf ration was a
national calamity, nnd we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equalize our trnde with
other nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale of Amer
ican products In the purls of other
countries and secure the enlarged mnr
kets of Aur farms, forests and factories.
l'rotection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy, and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule hail
recklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-estiibllshed. l'rotection for
whut we produce, free admission for
llio necessaries of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreement of -mutual
Interest which gain open markets
for us In return for our open market to
others. l'rotection builds up domestic
industry and trade nnd secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.
Prutcction to Suj,rnr Producers.
We condemn the present administra
tion for not keeping faith with th
sugar producers of this country. The
Republican party favors such protec
tion as will lead to the production on
American soli 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 Held, as 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 woolens of the mill we
promise the muit ample protection.

IVnslons for Veterans.
The veteran of the Union armle de
serve and should rtvalv fair treatment
and generous recognition. fl'hinivit
practicable they should b given th
preference In th mttr of employ
ment, and they are entitled to the n
ac'.mnt of such law a beat calculat
ed to secure the fulfillment of th
pledget mad to them In th dark day
of the country's peril. We denounce
the practice of th pension bureau to
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
th present administration, of reducing
pension and arbitrarily dropping
name from th roll, a deserving th
severest condemnation of th American
peopl.
Foreign Relations.
Our foreign policy should b at all
tlm firm, vigorous and dignified, and
all our Interest In th western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
The Hawaiian Islands should be con
trolled by th United Htate 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 Hlsles, and by
the purchase of the Danish Islands w
should seour a proper and much-needed
naval station In th West In. lies
Armenian Massacres.
Th massacres In Armenia hav
aroused the deep sympathy and Just
Indignation of the American people,
and we believe that the United Htate
should exercise all the Influence It can
properly exert to bring the alrocltle
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 litis. 'ns and American property
must he absolutely protected at all
hsiard and at any cost,
Monroe Doctrine.
We reassert the .Monro doctrine In
Its full extent and reafllrm th right of
the Unulted Htate to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals of
any American slate for friendly Inter
vention In case of Kuropean encroach
ment. We have not Interfered, and
shall not Interfere, with the existing
possession of any Kuropean power In
this hemlspheie, but those possession
must not, on any pretext, be extended.
We hopefully look forward to the
eventual withdrawal of the Kuropean
powers from this hemisphere, nnd the
ultimata union of nil the F.nglish
speaklng part of the continent by the
free consent of Its Inhabitants.
Independence of Culm.
From the hour of achieving their own
Independence the people of the United
Htates have regarded with sympathy
the Htruggles of other American people
to free themselves from Furopean dom
ination. We wafch with deep and abid
ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu
ban patriots against cruelty and op
pression, and our best hope 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 live of resi
dent American citizens or to comply
with its treaty obllgatlones, we bellev
that the government of the United
Htate 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 nation 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
complete system of harbor and se.
coast defense.
Immkratlon Laws.
Tor the protection of the equality of
our American clilseushlp and of th
wage of our wm klnginut agalmt lb
fatal competition pf low prlce.l labor,
w demand that the Immigration law
be thoroughly enforced, and so extend,
ed as to exclude from entrance tu th
United Htale those who can neither
read nor write.
Civil Service.
The Civil Hervlc law was placed on
the statute book by Ills Republican
parly, which has always sustained It,
and w renew our repeated declara

nation of th uncivilised and barbarou
practices, well known as lynching or
killing of human beings, suspected or
charged with crime, without process of
law.

board of arbitration to set lie and ad
just differences which may arise be

Alaska Representation.
We believe the cltlsen of Alaska

gress of the United Htates.to the end
that needful legislation may be lutein
gently enacted.

We sympathise with all wise and le
gitimate effort to lesson and prevent
