It will be remembered, was the flagship during the Astorln regatta, and Captain Hanks, her master, acted as commodore of the water festival. The magnificent sailing vessel put to sea yesterday under the guidance of Captain H. A. Matthews, the well known bar pilot. Captain Ranks' last words of greeting were those of friend ship and well wishes for Astoria, and the Inst seen of his vessel was the re gatta ting flying at the masthead. He told Captain Matthews that he would always carry with htm the kindliest recollections of Astoria and her people. TO Critic A t'OLII IN lN'K HAY, Take laxative liromo Quinine Tablets.

Declaration of Principles The Itcpubllcant of ths United Btates, assembled by their representatives In National Convention, appealing for ths popular and historical justification of their claims to the matchless achieve ments of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves to the awakened' Intelli gence, experience and conscience of their countrymen In ths following- dec laration of facts and principles: For the first time since the Civil War the American people have wlt nessed ths calamitous consequences of full and unrestrslned Democratic con trol of the Government. It has been record of unpsrslled Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative management It has ruthl'ssly sacrific ed lndlper.lhle revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary U urrent einenaea with borrowed money. r.el on the nilhlle debt bv Il'M.IXlO.OOO In 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 dicates and reversed all the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of Its policy It haa precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market. Every consideration of public safety and Individual Interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hsnds of those who have shown themselves 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 unentitled success and prosperity. A Protective Tarifl. . We renew and emphasize our allegi ance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home Industry; It puts the burden of revenue on for eign goods. It secures the American market tor the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingman; It puta the factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American fanner less dependent on foreign demand and price; it diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It is just, fair, and Impartial, I equally opposed to foreign control and I QOmeSIIC monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional. Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable I ,ar"f 0I foreign Imports which come Into competition with American pro ducts aa will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect Amer ican labor from degradation to the i wg 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 condl- tlons 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. Reciprocity With Other Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arrangements negotiated by the last Republican administration was a national calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalise 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 hnnd 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 others. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and 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 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 and Woolens. To all our products to those ot the mine and the Held, 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 moat ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri OF TUB REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for the up-butldlng of our merchant marine and the protection of our shipping In the foreign carrying trade, so that American ships the product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yards, sailing under the Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans may regain th carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "The Republican party la unreserv edly for sound money. It caused th enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie paymenta In 1879; alnce then every dollar has been as good aa gold. We are unalterably op posed to every measure calculated to de base our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, op posed to the free coinage of silver, ex cept by International agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained we believe the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our sliver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, tbe standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth." Pensions for Veterans. The veterans of the Union armies de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference tn the matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to the en actment of such laws as beat calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to them In the dark days of the country's peril. We denounce tbe practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by1 the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deserving th severest condemnation of the American people. 1 Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at an times firm, rigorous and dignified, and all our Interests In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands should be con trolled by the United States 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 States, and by the purchase of the 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 United States should exercise all the Influence It can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican cittxens 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 Unuited States 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 hemlsphete, but those possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union of all the English Speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its inhabitants. Independence of Cuba. From the 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 doni- tnatlon. We watch with deep and abid ing interest the heroio battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op pression, and our, best hopes go out for the full success ot 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 obltgatlones, 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 of harbor and sea Immigration Laws. For th protection of th equality of our American citizenship and of th wages of our worklngmen against the fatal competition of low-priced Labor, we demand that the Immigration lew) be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed as to exclude from entrance to tho United Btates those who can neither read nor write. Civil Service. The Civil Service law was placed oa the statute book by the Republican party, which has always sustained It. and we renew our repeated declara tions that It shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable.
