All illlllcultles appear to have been surmounted, and they claim that nothing further can stop the comple tion of the work. Mr. Harder said: "Astoria now assumes the airs of a nillroud town. Trains leave and ar rive there every day. rnfortuniitely, txs yet they aro going In the wrong direc tion, namely, down to the beach. In Astoria Itself Mr. Ooerlg, the contrac tor.

Declaration of Principles The Republicans of the United States. asHt-mbled by their representative In National Convention, appealing for the 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 the following dec laration of fact and principle: For the first time since the Civil War the American people have wit nessed the calamitous consequences of full arid unrestrained Democratic con trol of the Government It has been a record of unparalled Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative management it has ruthli.ly sacrific ed indlspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenies with borrowed money. piled up the public debt by 1242,000,000 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 meaaures and result of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of its policy It ha precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wuges, 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 hands of those who have shown themselves Incapable ot conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be re stored to the party which for thirty yeara administered It with unequaled auccess 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. Thla 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 for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingraan; It puts 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. equally opposed to foreign control and domestic 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 tariff on 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 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 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 and then It wants rest Reciprocity With Other Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arrangements negotiated by the last Republican administration waa 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 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 of the mine and the field, as well as to those ot the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, aa well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri OP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for the up-bulldlng 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 Klrlpea, and manned, officered and owned by Americana may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "The Republican party Is unreserv edly for sound money. It cauned the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments In 1879; since then every dollar ha been aa good a 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 silver 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, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of tb 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 in the matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to the en actment of such laws as best calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to tbem In the dark days of the country peril We denounce the practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deserving the severest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous and dignified, and alt our Interest 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 permitetd 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 citizens 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 Unulted 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 hemisphere, 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 dom ination. We watch with deep und 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 rest dent American citizens or to comply with Its treaty obligatlones, 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. Imnilt-ratlnn Laws. For the protection of the equality of our American citizenship and of the wages of our worklngmen against the fatal competition of low-priced labor, we demand that the Immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed a to exclude from entrance to the United States those who can neither read nor write. Civil Service. The CivU Service law was placed on 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. Free Ballot. We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast Lynching Condemned. We proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the uncivilized and barbarous practices, well known as lynching or killing of human beings, suspected or charged with crime, without process of law.
