the matter be finally decided adverse
to the collection of the duty, the duties

A correspondent of the Canadian
Lumberman, writing fr.nn Cape Town,
South Africa, elates "that the total
Imports of rough tnd dressed lumber
Into that colony during 1M5 amounted
to a valuation of $1.17.1,.!.;'). of which
pine, amounted to the valuation of $7-1.-

are to greatly liuienie, and that Cana
dian producers should bestir them
selves In order to secure a lin ger slice of

Statin went to the South African col

Itenr-Adinlial Fournler of the French
navy has prepared a naval program
of a very revolutionary kind, but w hich
h.M mill Ii to recommend Km adoption.
Part of the scheme carried Into effeci
Is the nsslmunent of three armored
cruisers as a "superior naval school,"
to which olllcers of inaik.'d ability In
special brunches w ill be ordered for a
cnuree of practical tralntni;. Ills scheme
also contemplates a permanent cruising
lleet ot seinof 117 war vessels, beside
about 3011 torpedo boat. He estimates
the yearly cost of conHtruction at $15,
000,000, to continue for 2! years, at the
end of which time the fleet will Consist
of .the most recent Improvement In
ships, machinery, armament and other
appliances.
Experiments with petroleum fuel
have been made by all great naval pow
ers of late years, and tho prospects
are that It will be largely ndoptel, and,
so far as torpedo boat are concerned,
will take the place nf coal and other
fuel. The advantage consist of a large
reduction in weight; the oil can be
stored for the most part below the water
line, out of the way of shells There
Is no danger nf spontaneous combus
tion a with coal, and the. bollerg are
less liable to Injury, aa the oil contain
no sulphur. Firing is extremely sim
ple, the force of firemen can be greatly
reduced, coal-trlinmers dispensed with,
and supplies can be taken on board
In mid-ocean and In rough weather.
The evaporative power of the oil In
weight for weight Is superior to that of
coal, and finally the smoke and flame
from the funnels are barely perceptible
when once the draught la adjusted.

but the way he put the proposition the
Impression la made Hint Hlher he
thinks lh people ar f'xil or he him
self is a trlili) daft.
Not one quarter of one per cent of
the people have silver, nn I h "new lea
than one-iiiar1r of una per cent of Ihe
people would be foi-nefllil directly by
free coinage. Of course Mr. Hryan
would say to thl tliu' free cilr.ase
would make silver dollar plenty he
cause of the great rush o nlvrr bullion
tn the mint for coinage, I ut -ven 10
how would thiHw who hrve no silver
bullion get hold of .hi mint' output
of dollars unl they httd sooiethlng
to exchange for tlicrn? Krei. dlstrlbu
thm or noiiitr no', tonienii'iutc'l, a
we understand Mr Hryan, hener. those
w ho wantd sliver dollars would have to
give something that would be their
equivalent.
Hut It happen that all of the people
are employe that Is, payer or payee
of wages- and In order to put dollars
Into the pocket of the employe the em
ployer must be utile to sell the product
of the employe' labor. For three year
there hn been no market for Ihe pro.
duct of American labor because Hryan
kind of a tariff law has been in force,
which enable foreign labor to supply
our market witn It products. At
sumlng. then, that all the silver I In
dollars, would our Idle worklngmen get
thctn or would the foreign labor that Is
manufacturing our goods and ware for
us get them? Mr. Hryan should tx
plain this feature of hi philosophy.
Tlie fact Is, no benefit would accrue to
American labor, nor to any other class
f people, If silver dollar were plied
mountains high If they could not be
reached through the channels of em
ployment, wage-earning and market.
Admitting that our mint should be
thrown open to silver, would that pre
vent foreigners' controlling our mer-
chandiae market? And If it did not,
how would the dollars thu coined reach
our people? It I an economic fact that
if all the money In the world were piled
upon our chorea w e could get none of It
until we made something to exchange
for It. Hut extend to our Industrie
proper protection, ao that they may
give labor all the work It want at food
wage, then the people will have plenty
of merchantable things, Including la.
bor, to exchange for dollar. Mr. Bryan

Declaration of
Th Kepubllcuns of th United States,
assembled by their representatives In
National Convention, appealing (or th
popular and historical Justification of
their claim to the matchless achieve
ment of thirty year of Republican
rule, earnestly and confidently address
themselves to the awakened Intelli
gence, experience and conscience of
their countrymen In th following dec
laration of facts and principle:
For th first time lines the Civil
War the American people have wit
nessed the calamitous consequences of
full and unrestrlned Democratic con
trol of the Government It has been
a record of unparalled Incapacity, dis
honor and disaster. In administrative
management It haa ruthksaly sacrific
ed Indlspenslble revenue, entailed an
unceasing deflc.lt, eked out ordinary
current expense with borrowed money,
piled up the public debt by f262.O0O.0OO
In time of peace, forced an adverse bal
ance of trade, to a perpetual menace
hanging over the redemption (und,
pawned American cred to alien syn
dicates and reversed all the measures
and results of successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect of Its policy
It has 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 hands o( those who
have shown themselves Incapable of
conducting It without disaster at home
and dishonor abroad, and shall be re
stored to the party which for thirty
year administered It with uneqnaled
success and prosperity.
A Protective Ta riff.
We renew and emphasize our allegi
ance to the policy of protection as tha
bulwark of American industrial Inde
pendence and the foundation of Amer
ican development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro
duct 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 ot
wages for the American workingman;
It puts the factory by the side of the
farm, and makes the American farmer
leas 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 as will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expenses of
the government, but will protect Amer
ican labor from degredatton 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
I the protection and development of
American labor and Industry. The
country demands a right settlement
and then It wants rest
Reciprocily 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
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 (or 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 th
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.
Merchant Marine.
W favor restoring th early Ameri
OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY; .
can policy of discriminating duties for
the up-bulldlng of our merchant marine
and the protection of our shipping In
th 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 msy regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce.
The Financial Issue.
"The Republican party Is unreserv
edly for sound money. It caused th
enactment of th law providing for the
resumption of specie payments In 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as 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
tandardcf 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 in the matter of employ
ment, and they are entitled to the en
aclment of such laws as beat calculat
ed to secure the fulfillment of the
pledges made to tbem In the dark days
of the country's pertL We denounce
the practice of th 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 tha American
people.
Foreign R-Iations.
Our foreign policy should be at all
times firm, vigorous 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 State 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 cltixens 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 (or 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 hemlspheie, 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 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 th 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
lics 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

Immigration Laws.
For the protection of the equality of
our American citizenship and of th
wages of our worklngmen against th
fatal competition of low-priced labor,
we demand that the Immigration laws
be thoroughly enforced, and so extend
ed as to exclude from entrance to th
United State those who can neither
read nor writ.
Civil Service.
The Civil Service law was placed oa
the itatute book by th Republican
party, which has always sustained it,
and we renew our repeated declara
tions that It shall be thoroughly and
honestly enforced and extended whero
ever practicable.

We demand that every citizen of th
United Bute shall b allowed to east
one free and unrestricted ballot, and
that such ballot shall b counted and
returned as cast

nation of the uncivilised and barbarous)
practices, well known as lynching or
killing o( human beings, suspected or
charged with crime, without process of
law.
National Arbitration.
We (avor the creation of a national
board of arbitration to settle and ad
just differences which may axis be
tween employer and employed engaged
in Interstate commerce.

We believe la an immediate return
to the free homestead policy of th
Republican party and urge th passage
by congress of the satisfactory fre
homestead measure which has already
passed the house and Is now pending
In the senate.
Admission of Territories.
We favor the admission of the re
maining territories at the earliest prac
ticable date, having due regard to th
Interests of the people of th territo
ries and of the United States. AU th
federal officers appointed for the terri
tories shall be selected from bona fid
residents thereof, and the right of self-
government shall be acorded as far aa
practicable.
Alaska Representation.
We believe the citizens of Alaska
should have representation in the con
gress of the United States.to the end
that needful legislation may be intelli
gently enacted.
Sumptuary Legislation.
We sympathize with all wise and le- '
gltlrrate efforts to lessen and prevent
the evils of intemperance and promote
morality.
Rights of Women.
The Republican party is mindful of
the rights and interests of women. Pro
tection of American Industries include
equal opportunities, equal 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 rescuing the coun
try from Democratic and Populist mis
management and misrule. Such are the
principles and policies of the Republi
can party. By these principles w will
abide and these principles we will put
Into execution. We ask for them the
considerate Judgment of. the American
people. 1
Confident alike 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 party and prosperity to
the people of the United States.
